@j1lted said in Kodi: Screen goes black after video finishes:

This issue was introduced for me in Kodi 18. Solution for me was to:

Settings > Player > Videos > Playback > Adjust display refresh rate > On start / stop

Hope this helps others.

I could bloody kiss you, mate. Thanks for choosing to gravedig an old topic with your solution. I was pulling my hair out until I found your post. :)

@mitu AHHHH, that worked!!!

Thanks, you're the man!!

@mitu LOL Wiseass. :)

Yeah I did use Selph's scraper. I like the videos.

I did check that es_systems.cfg file before I posted just to make sure. Love the search function for problems. Had MANY I didn't have to post for because it's already on here... usually with your name on it. :)

EDIT: Yep. my gamelist.xml file has a bin and a cue entry. Shaved out everything that said WWF and it only shows one in ES now. I just re-scraped that one game. Thanks. :)

@LineOf7s Well then, probably the fact that my USB stick is formatted as exFat.
I guess I'll give it a break with Amiberry for a while.
Anyway, I am just updating my system, including the big one (second list item from the RetroPi-Setup Script). Given I get my PS3 controllers working on Bluetooth again afterwards, maybe Amiberry also behaves differently :-)

Now looks much better in Mame2003,
I did change aspect ratio to 32:9 in retroarch video settings...

@mitu the Roms are in .zip format, I am running the latest version (can't test what it is at the moment as am at work) as I keep it up to date. I have used skyscraper so will delete the gameslist and try again - thanks for the reply

This topic has a lot of good info about migrating to 4.4 on a new image.

@Stuart2773

I did try that, and was then prompted to install place bios files when loading up system manager

@mitu thanks! I figured maybe I needed to remove certain pieces and start from with new image. Before I do that let me see if I can see if I can generate the pishrink error again or find some
Notes I may have taken months ago. I do recall the error ultimately having to do with the external hard drive not having a certain access. I will try this tomorrow hopefully it will take me hours to run this again until point of fail. Part of me says to add more internal storage and try pishrink internally and not on External drive. I will also lookup what version Retropie I am running. Thanks!!

@scruss Thank you for your help.

Ah, OK.

I'm a noob to linux (Raspberry Pie) so i'll not be doing that anytime soon.

Thanks

Now I have it where if I delete .atari800.cfg and then start an Atari 5200 game it works fine. But then Atari 800 games get an error that the computer crashed. If I delete the .atari800.cfg and then launch an atari 800 game it works but I can no longer launch atari 5200 games as I get the blue screen and note pad error. I tried adding the items to my /opt/retropie/configs/atari5200 retroarch.cfg and such but hat has not positive impact. The only differences between the two .atari800.cfg are:
MACHINE_TYPE=ATARI 400/800 OR or Atari 5200
RAM_SIZE=48 or 16
When the 5200 works it has these:
ENABLE-NEW-POKEY=1 versus 0 when the Atari 800 works
STEREO_POKEY=0 versus 1 when the Atari 800 works

Note if I delete the .atari800.cfg in ~/ either type work the first time so it builds the proper file. I would like to be able to do this without having to delete the .atari800.cfg everytime I want to switch between 800 and 5200. Any ideas?

@cyperghost said in [Solved] How to bind a shell command to a hotkey? (raspi2png):

I'm the (proud??) owner of such a device but I prefer the Pie

What I meant - since you have one - maybe you can find an equivalent program to raspi2png for the Droid and be able to test it (not create one from scratch). Something like fbgrab or fbdump maybe.

@mitu

ah ok - should be fine now.

At the moment, MAME 2003-Plus has more advanced support for analog input devices. It is currently in testing, although after about six weeks the new analog input features have been tested by a fair number of users.

If you are willing to try with MAME 2003-Plus, please consider posting here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17766/mame2003-plus-hundreds-of-new-games-improved-input-features-new-bugs-now-with-runahead-support

Thankyou for the response looks like good progress has been made.

Thanks for the reply that makes sense. :)

Only the gl driver supports shaders, switching the video driver to sdl will not get you shaders. What shaders are you using ? What video card do you have - is it powerful enough to run those shaders ?
