@mahoneyt944 Sorry, my explanation was not completely correct: It's the firmware that is updated, as far as I can see the PCB itself looks identical. But you can find out which firmware runs on your PCB, simply by pressing both mouse buttons simultaneously and keeping them pressed for 10 seconds. If this switches the mouse axis from horizontal to vertical, your PCB is running the latest firmware. Otherwise it still runs the old firmware.

Apparently there is no simple way to update the firmware yourself, they simply sent me a new PCB.

@cargorunner said in Playstation - Suddenly stopped working:

@mitu The file has 3 lines, I just listed the one line I changed. The full file from the prebuilt image is...

lr-pcsx-rearmed = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-pcsx-rearmed/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/psx/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
default = "pcsx-rearmed"
pcsx-rearmed = "pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/pcsx-rearmed; ./pcsx -cdfile %ROM%; popd"

this isn't the file from Retropie's prebuilt image. it does not default to pcsx_rearmed (standalone), so not sure what happened here, but good you got it sorted!

This issue has been fixed with an RPI OS update for the Bluetooth packages, so the workaround is no longer necessary - an update of the packages/OS is enough.

You can update the packages as part of RetroPie's update menu or manually with

sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade

The bluez package version that fixes the issue - 5.50-1.2~deb10u2+rpt1.

@megas "3B+" is the same as "3" in this instance. This will work for you.

@mitu I will try that, thank you !!!!

@mitu thank you, that works fine!

@roslof Thanks Roslof. I didn't know your spreadsheet already reflected an overclocked Pi.

If you can install Linux on it, it might work, but support for a new platform is not trivial to add in RetroPie. The device seems similar to the Vero4k hardware supported by OSMC, which is supported (to a certain extent) by RetroPie.

@4retropietft alr thank you so much for your help

@mitu said in EmulationStation Marquee Bug (with work-around):

EDIT: Try the Magazine Madness theme, it has support for marquees in Detailed view.

You're correct @mitu. Just tried in both Detailed and Automatic views and without videos referenced, the marquees do indeed appear.

For each theme I used that exhibits the problem, the marquee section is under <view name = "video">. Updating the themes, including Carbon, by moving the marquee section under <view name = "Detailed"> works (and would seem to be a more common scenario).

Seems that many themes used Carbon as a baseline and have marquee under the video view section. Easy to fix (or change, if it was what the author intended).

Thank you, as always.

@lostless understood, I'm on my own with this thing now unfortunately but it will be a learning experience.

@brentriddell to apply it first put the file tweakvec.py into directory home/pi/tweakvec/ on your sd card ( or other storage whre retopie is installed if that).
Then you can enter in terminal window on your PC or in retropie console next:

sudo python3 /home/pi/tweakvec/tweakvec.py --preset PAL60 you get true colors and pal 60 mode (must be sdtv mode = 1 in config.txt to get 60 Hz in all emulators)

But after next reboot you got standard ntsc mode ( with wrong colores), so if you want tweakwec fix always turned on you need write this command in file /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh It will be run tweakwec automatilly at every retropie start.

But in the end i've get right colors but also get "flickering" in some games. So to get flickering off i've used progressive mode ( write sdtv mode = 16 in config.txt)

Maybe it was helpfully too ( find my messages in the bottom of thread) https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/811

@paul_uk Awesome thanks for this. I was using something from Katie Snow long ago but this seems a bit easier.

@sleve_mcdichael I've done this when I first started using overlays. I've found it works with some, not with others. Depends on where the overlay is from.. and if I decide to zoom in or zoom it out a little. I try to set my overlays/bezels to the best possible screen size for the system, and that's not always the stock size.

I eventually switched to manually setting the size and it seems to work really well . Once I'm happy with the bezel, I don't change it anyway.

BTW... Your description is probably the best I've read on the subject. Thanks for sharing it.

@sirhenrythe5th no problem :) it will be the default in future images at least.

let me know if you get any audio drops! the gameplay should keep going but the audio cuts out for a second or two.
