@Paisano87 Check the /boot/config.txt file on your sd card, or insert the SD card into your PC and open the config.txt file you find in there. Post the output of that file in the forum.

/boot/config.txt

For more options and information see

http://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md

Some settings may impact device functionality. See link above for details

uncomment if you get no picture on HDMI for a default "safe" mode

#hdmi_safe=1

uncomment this if your display has a black border of unused pixels visible

and your display can output without overscan

#disable_overscan=1

uncomment the following to adjust overscan. Use positive numbers if console

goes off screen, and negative if there is too much border

#overscan_left=16
#overscan_right=16
#overscan_top=16
#overscan_bottom=16

uncomment to force a console size. By default it will be display's size minus

overscan.

#framebuffer_width=1280
#framebuffer_height=720

uncomment if hdmi display is not detected and composite is being output

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1

uncomment to force a specific HDMI mode (this will force VGA)

#hdmi_group=1
#hdmi_mode=1

uncomment to force a HDMI mode rather than DVI. This can make audio work in

DMT (computer monitor) modes

hdmi_drive=2

uncomment to increase signal to HDMI, if you have interference, blanking, or

no display

#config_hdmi_boost=4

uncomment for composite PAL

#sdtv_mode=2

#uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
#arm_freq=800

Uncomment some or all of these to enable the optional hardware interfaces

#dtparam=i2c_arm=on
#dtparam=i2s=on
#dtparam=spi=on

Uncomment this to enable the lirc-rpi module

Additional overlays and parameters are documented /boot/overlays/README

dtparam=audio=on
gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=256
overscan_scale=0

NOOBS Auto-generated Settings:

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_force_edid_audi=1
#hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1
sdtv_mode=2
dtparam=spi=on

@Paisano87 You seem to have enough GPU memory, which is a good thing. Check your VRAM Limit setting in Emulationstation and make sure you have more than 80 Mb allocated (try with 120Mb also). Restart Emulationstation after you change the settings and see if you get better results.

Paisano87

@mitu Where should I go to modify the VRAM changes? forgive for my ignorance ... thanks

mitu

@Paisano87 In the Emulationstation menus, activated by pressing Start.

Paisano87

@mitu Another way yo chance this?, in my emulationstation menu don't show this!, Only save metadata on exit and parse gameslist only

mitu

@Paisano87 Then you might be using an older Emulationstation version - you can check your version at the bottom of the menu, after you press Start . What version are you using ?

Paisano87

@mitu Hi, I'm using version 2.01A

mitu

@Paisano87 That is not supported by the theme - and by a lot of recent themes. Are you using RetroPie or not ?

Paisano87

Yes, i use retropie

mitu

@Paisano87 Then please use a recent version, your version is probably too old - or badly configured - and doesn't have a current version of Emulationstation.

Paisano87

@mitu
There is some way to update emulationstation without the need to re-record retropie?, is that I have a multiboot in the SD card and that would entail staying without the other systems
Thanks

mitu

@Paisano87 Sure, each package can be updated individually - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Updating-RetroPie/#updatinginstalling-individual-packages. But your system might be so old that the update has a chance it would not work.

Paisano87

Try to update the package individually and it worked perfectly, I already have the theme applied !! Many thanks!!

toaster_strudel

so is this project dead? There havent been any of the promised updates in half a year. If @ruckage no longers wishes to maintain it I wish he would say so.

Why do you think so ?

If @ruckage no longers wishes to maintain it I wish he would say so.

You registered here just to ask to take over ?

toaster_strudel

No, I registered here to ask a question. There haven't been any updates. I'd only like to know if support is still planned and if its not it would be nice to know.

mitu

@toaster_strudel Again, what updates are you expecting ? Is there something that doesn't work for you or it's missing ?

toaster_strudel

Yes. I was interested in knowing when we can expect the grid views and additional system icons mentioned last year.

Is it common for the moderation team here to aggressively dissuade posting questions? My post was made in a polite manner.

@toaster_strudel While you asked valid questions about the themes deveolpment, you asked them in a very entitled way. Remember that themes, retropie, etc are all made in peoples spare time for fun. They dont owe any of us anything. You might want to keep that in mind.
