Hi all. To make my question crystal clear, basically I'm looking to know the following.

Do you benefit at all from setting "gpu_freq=500"? Does it set the frequencies for the various GPU blocks to 500 MHz without "force_turbo=1" enabled?

I'm hoping it does because being forced to disable the dynamic clock driver to do this seems like an unfortunate design oversight for a hobbyist circuit board. It's bugging me so much I think I'm going to be trying to determine the answer with my test bed Pi3 tonight. Hoping someone out there has an answer for me though. The way the documentation is written seems to indicate that "gpu_freq=500" might work, but setting the individual blocks (such as v3d_freq=500) doesn't, or that's one way to interpret it anyway, its not 100% clear about that. But in the worst case scenario, if the 3d block is locked at 250 MHz, it will probably stay that way as I really don't like the idea of disabling dynamic clocks lol.

@agour Have you ruled out the adapter at all? Does it work fine on a PC? Also, are you using a Libretro based emulator, as the retroarch configs only apply to them.

Attract Mode is the best option. It does all that is needed and can be made to look like a Mame frontend. Lots more documentation on it.

awesome thank you so much for the reply. I will keep an eye on that.

never mind.

it seems with the launching screens that i got from here.

i just need to spam the a button to get it the timing correct.

sorry all

@rbaker said in Is 2.4A enough?:

@HenrikoMagnifico I have a brick similar to what you describe but I have 4 usb ports on it. It is rated at 4.5A. This means that inside my cabinet, I can power the pi comfortably with joypads, keyboard and an ipac decoder. I also have another for charging things like phones and kindles at the same time. As long as your current draw across all devices doesn't exceed the rating of the charging device, you will be fine. No need to worry about how the current is shared. Your devices will only draw a maximum as described on their case. E.g. This keyboard I'm on is 70mA, so only 0.07A out of the 4.5A available. Look on the back of devices, usually printed on. A charger can never output more than a device needs so don't worry.

Thanks for the help, I will purchase the USB charger I talked about earlier :)

@Graboid no problem, glad to help, only knew because I posted it a few days ago! :)

Once I get to the "OK", I try hitting enter on my keyboard, but I cannot seem to get past the "OK"

you should press the button you setted as "A" when you get the OK.

And usually, same model controllers have the same config file. So, there1s no need to config them individually.

Hi BuZz,

Thank you very much for your remark, I was inserting the SD in the wrong raspberry :(

It's indeed a 1B ! So we can close this topic.

Best regards,

Anyone?

Microsoft really should use a standardised protocol rather than their own proprietary stuff.

Apple's guilty of this all too often as well. Neither really likes to share with the rest of the class.

i set it up the same minus lxde and tested, didn't seem to have a problem then I added lxde and shortly after started having problems. I backed the sdcard up before installing lxde and used that and it began working again. For about an hour of testing, no issues. i used: sudo apt-get install lxde-core xserver-xorg xinit

as it was the only one i could get to load. I would like a gui on my rpi, so a working method or a substitution gui would be appreciated. I was going to test taking my old tvservice file and moving it but my linux laptop is down so i cant modify the files since they are in use. Thanks.

You are a genius my friend! That fixed it right up, definitely helps with my OCD, hahaha! Wonder why that happens... Thanks again!

I'm assuming missing bios file

Thank you!

@BuZz it said 0 added 0 updated when i ran it. I am going to put a backup image on as soon as i am done backing up my config folder.
