  • HDMI not working on TV when hooked to official "7 PI screen

    Thanks for the script. I made some tweaks, put it in /opt/initDisplay/initDisplay.sh and start it via /etc/rc.local instead. I added a check to not do endless loop if something breaks, so for the second time when PI is booted the configuration is not checked. In addition if there's a file called /opt/initDisplay/skipcheck the check is also not performed, plus I added delay of 3 seconds before reboot. So if something is wrong, user is able to quickly SSH into the PI and make it skip the script on next reboot.

    Note that now script checks if below lines exist in /boot/config.txt to distinguish which config is present:

    for HDMI: # this is config HDMI
    for LCD: # this is config LCD

    I added that lines in first line of the config. Here's tweaked script:

    #!/usr/bin/env bash ROOT_FOLDER=/opt/initDisplay if [ -f $ROOT_FOLDER/skipcheck ]; then exit 0 fi if [ -f $ROOT_FOLDER/justbooted ]; then rm $ROOT_FOLDER/justbooted exit 0 fi timeout=3 rm -f hdmi.name tvservice -n > $ROOT_FOLDER/hdmi.name 2>&1 HDMI_NAME=`cat $ROOT_FOLDER/hdmi.name` echo $HDMI_NAME if [ "$HDMI_NAME" == "[E] No device present" ]; then LCD_ON=`cat /boot/config.txt | grep "# this is config HDMI"` if [ "$LCD_ON" == "# this is config HDMI" ]; then echo "reboot to configuration LCD, press ESC to cancel" sudo rm -f /boot/config.txt sudo cp /boot/config_lcd.txt /boot/config.txt #sudo cp /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.lcd /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf while [ "$timeout" -gt "0" ]; do echo -n " $timeout" if read -n1 -t1 -r -s x; then echo " ...canceled" exit 0 fi let timeout-- done echo "skip reboot" > $ROOT_FOLDER/justbooted echo " Reboot now!" sudo reboot -n else echo "LCD/HDMI configuration OK (no HDMI)" fi else HDMI_ON=`cat /boot/config.txt | grep "# this is config LCD"` echo $HDMI_ON if [ "$HDMI_ON" == "# this is config LCD" ]; then echo "reboot to configuration HDMI, press ESC to cancel" sudo rm -f /boot/config.txt sudo cp /boot/config_hdmi.txt /boot/config.txt #sudo cp /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf.hdmi /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf while [ "$timeout" -gt "0" ]; do echo -n " $timeout" if read -n1 -t1 -r -s x; then echo " ...canceled" exit 0 fi let timeout-- done echo "skip reboot" > $ROOT_FOLDER/justbooted echo " Reboot now!" sudo reboot -n else echo "LCD/HDMI configuration OK (HDMI $HDMI_NAME)" fi fi

    @Darksavior I think that must be the case then. None of the games have a cue file. I have to create them. They just have the binary file.

    @red2blue I have a copy at home, but I won't get to my computer until tonight or tomorrow. I'll post it for you first chance I get. I'm the meantime though, MetaPixel supports it (and has video support too).

    @pjft yes, definitely a VRAM setting deal. 80 did not work, but 120 fixed it, so it is a non issue. Just a note, this was not an issue when you had it as part of your video screensaver build prior to merge with ES. Thanks for the tip.

    Changed it to instant, changed the theme and voila, it worked.

    That was a quick resolve!

    Wasn't so much worried about my setup as wanting to get it documented on here in case anyone else runs into this issue with ES being worked on as much as it has been these days.

    Thanks!

    This seems to be my exact problem. My WiFi is down until I pair (press a + b) my wiimote. As soon as the pairing is complete WiFi connects. I manually configured WiFi setting right out of the gate in /etc/network/interfaces. I then tried setting a static IP in /etc/dhcpcd.conf. Still problem persists.

    Any thought on how to resolve this?

    Config file overrides for RetroArch are explained here and are probably more inline with what you're looking for. It includes an example for per-ROM configuration.

    I've reported the issue, so hopefully we'll have a solution soon. We are starting to run out of memory when compiling.

    I have been sending roms over my network using the network share (SMB) that is built into RPi. If you are on windows, go to windows explorer and click on Network. In there you should see all your networked machines that are sharing. RETROPIE should be one of them. once you are there, navigate to the roms folder and you can drag and drop to your hearts content. :)

    Just tried the above workaround and it did indeed work. I created a .srm on my laptop then dragged that into the Retropie snes folder. The players now have names. Thank you!

    Still strange why that happens, but nice fix.

    @AmigaGamer Seems this post is quite old, but I couldn't find other related post yet.
    I encountered exactly same problem with you but I can't get this 8bitdo zero tool because official homepage has renewed. Do you still have the tool? If you don't mind, May I ask you to upload that tool on mirror?
