Anyway, I think the sound is working fine, but the message is annoying. I'll try to get that fixed and release a new image. I'd like to get some more feedback to see if anyone else has issues/suggestions before we do that.
The header for mine won't be here until Friday. I should have ordered one with the board, but it was kind of an impulse buy because I was afraid they would go out of stock.
I tested just the board last night, and I'm actually pretty amazed by it. I tried some heavier arcade games, like Dodonpachi and Blazing Star, and they played excellent. I also played Castlevania Symphony of the Night and Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on PS1, and those were both great as well. None of those 4 games played well on the Pi Zero, so the Pi Zero 2 is a big improvement in performance. I also figure the Retropie image for Pi 3 has gotten a lot of optimization over the last couple of years...
I've been working with computers for a really long time, and this kind of performance out of a $15 board the size of my thumb blows my mind a little bit.
Anyhow, when I get the header and solder it on I'll post my experiences.
Thanks,
Harley.
