I have a problem updating my TheA500 Mini.
I tried (three weeks ago) emailing RetroGames with the same question, but so far no response.
I am trying to install the updated firmware with the file
theA500-mini-upgrade-v1.2.1.a5u
downloaded from their web site at
https://retrogames.biz/support/thea500-mini/upgrade/
I have copied the file to an otherwise empty 16G USB stick, formatted as
FAT32. I have also checked the copied file on the stick with Windows'
certutil program, and the SHA256 checksum matches the one on the web site.
I then follow the instructions on the download page: I have
disconnected all USB devices except the game pad and inserted my stick.
Then I start the THEA500 Mini and go to Options, Advanced Optyions -
System information. But it only shows me the version of the existing
firmware, there are no buttons to select Update or Cancel, the only
thing I can do is to Close with the blue button.
The existing firmware is shown as
manhattan-1.1.1-strange/09fffc15/13-05-2022/20:13:48
Can somebody help me get the update installed?
Best regards,
Niels
