Regarding v4.4

RK1Gaming

where do I add the line in config.txt?

mitu

@quicksilver For the 3B+, sdram_freq seems a bit different (500). If you have one, you can check with vcgencmd get_config int from a command line.

@rk1gaming Just add it at the end of the file, on a separate line. But, have you been able to run any of the stress tests I've been mentioning ?

RK1Gaming

No, but I was able to run a rom for 3 and a half hours just now.

RK1Gaming

by the way, I did have my Pi 3 B+ in a case and took it out. I have a ceiling fan kinda blow directly on the Pi and it still locked up after 3 hours. IDK!

quicksilver

@rk1gaming slightly off topic but why are you installing dgen?

RK1Gaming

I installed it because it is a good SEGA Genesis emulator for Windows, at least it was.

RK1Gaming

I updated the raspberryPi's firmware and that seemed to do the trick. It doesn't lock up anymore. Thanks for all the help.

@rk1gaming dgen is pretty outdated and doesn't have the benefit of retroarch controls. In most cases the default emulators that have been selected by the retropie team work best. For Genesis use lr-genesisplusgx. Can also use lr-picodrive as an alternative if needed.

RK1Gaming

thanks.

@rk1gaming Glad you got it sorted out. Just for curiosity, can you run vcgencmd get_config int from the terminal and post the output ?

@mitu said in Regarding v4.4:

Wrap the contents of the file in code tags (````) so it's readable.

@quicksilver said in Regarding v4.4:

@rk1gaming put four back tics (````) without the parenthesis before and after blocks of code

Actually, three tics suffice. 😌
