Rick Dangerous image 400 GB does not run properly!? (Noob in Linux and RasPi!)
the usual error is the image was made before the 8gb pi4 was released so is compatible with the 1,2 and 4gb models only without updating - for this error you can grab the latest boot file versions (kernel7l.img, start4.elf and the fixup4.dat are required for pi4) from here - https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot - they go into the /boot partition of the microsd/usb/ssd overwriting the old versions.

State of CRT RGB output on Raspberry Pi 4?
RetroArch can switch resolution like you said (https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/11590), and this fixes the bug (https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1357) that the new DRM interface does not work for switching DPI displays (like our SCART hats.

My remote Pi for my ADSB is going bad
Those happened ~9 seconds after startup and it's a known error, so it's probably fine.
