I'm as new as it gets to the RPi world. Trying to set up a retro-gaming (yep, I'm one of those). I'm on a RPi4 2GB and I have an image flashed to my drive and when trying to boot, I get the following (along with all the rest):
Firmware: 99d9a48302e4553cff3688692bb7e9ac760a03fa Jan 27 2021 22:20:57
0x00b03115 0x00000000 0x0000003f
start.elf: is not compatible
This board requires newer software
My logic is telling me that the software on the image I am trying to use is outdated (even though it is set up for a pi4) and can't boot with the current bootloader.
I've tried all I can to roll back the bootloader to older versions and can only go back so far before I need to use the raspberry pi imager to create a bootloader restore disk and go back to the "start"
So I guess my main question is how do I get this image to boot? I'd like to just roll back the eeprom and firmware to about a year ago so that way the image I have can work (it was only made about 6 months ago by the original creator)
So... How do I downgrade my hardware eeprom (bootloader) form one of the older stable builds found on raspberry pi's github (https://github.com/raspberrypi/rpi-eeprom/tree/master/firmware) without bricking the thing and having to start over (which is been my result so far)?
Thanks!
