runcommand dialog before game sometimes disappears
-
@ufa so do you see all the lines of text when you boot?
-
@edmaul69 Yes I do.
Just to be clear, runcommand and dialog work ok, but after some playing time and game switching, they disappear.
-
you have
use_artenabled - so the runcommand dialog won't show unless the game lacks scraped artwork. -
Thank you. I will disable it and see how it goes.
But this does not explain the missing dialog boxes for retropie configuration.
-
Aaah - you did a manual install on an existing Jessie ?
The screenblanker is probably kicking in.
add
consoleblank=0to the existing line in/boot/cmdline.txt(with a space before it of course so it's an additional parameter) -
@BuZz said in runcommand dialog before game sometimes disappears:
consoleblank=0
Hi BuZz,
I will do that, thank you.
Will try and post results asap -
@BuZz
No more issues. Thank you BuZz. This was bugging me for months. -
Thank you. I had the same issue. Installed RetroPie on Raspian (lite).
Are there other "tweaks" for manual installations such us this one?
Edit: I added this to the "manual installation" in the wiki:

@Sevik In the premade image? Just stuff available from the retropie-setup gui like splashscreen etc.
There is actually a gui config option in RetroPie-Setup -> Configuration / Tools -> Raspbian Tools to disable the blanker, but it doesn't work in Jessie due to a Debian bug.

I used the "Minimal image based on Debian Jessie" from the official homepage . And then followed the instrauction for manual installation.
I missed the gui option or rather I did not understood what it does, so I left it. However, I used the "enable needed kernel modules".

The premade RetroPie image is just the Raspbian Lite image with RetroPie installed on top. The only tweaks outside of the RetroPie-Setup gui, are the consoleblank and an additional cmdline.txt change to make the boot a bit quieter.

Thank you very much. The RetroPie-Setup gui is fantastic.

This has been happening to me as well. Will this fix still work?

@RedBatman Why are you resurrecting this old thread when you have a current one? Why don't you try the fix and see for yourself?
