Emulation Station still suffering from White Screen of Death?
-
Hello,
When using certain highly detailed themes, such as Hursty Blue or Comic Book I am still encountering the dreaded White Screen of Death within Emulation Station. I was under the impression that this had been fixed in a previous update. Are others still encountering this? Please note I have 28 systems displaying - does the White Screen of Death still occur with that many systems?
Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 3
Power Supply used: 5V 2.5A
RetroPie Version Used: 4.2.img - updated to 4.2.8 RetroPie-Script. Emulation Station updated to v2.3.2RP
Built From: RetroPie image 4.2 - fully updated to latest scripts.
USB Devices connected: Wireless Rapoo T-series keyboard, Hyper X-Savage 256GB USB stick (running roms).
Controller used: Bluetooth WiiU Pro Controller
Error messages received: glGetError 0x505 upon closing ES.My Pi3 is overclocked and has the following in the /boot/config.txt
arm_freq=1300 over_voltage=5 temp_limit=85 core_freq=500 h264_freq=333 avoid_pwm_pll=1 v3d_freq=500 sdram_freq=588 sdram_schmoo=0x02000020 over_voltage_sdram_p=6 over_voltage_sdram_i=4 over_voltage_sdram_c=4 gpu_mem_256=128 gpu_mem_512=256 gpu_mem_1024=256 dwc_otg.speed=1 overscan_scale=1 dtparam=sd_overclock=72 dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt
My VRAM Limit is set to 150MB within Emulation Station.
I have tried updating ES through the Binary and through Source, with both giving the same outcome.
If I've misread this somewhere that the White Screen of Death was fixed, and it is in fact still an issue with that many systems then please disregard this! If anyone has any other suggestions, such as tweaks to my config.txt or VRAM limits then I'd be very greatful :)
Thanks all!
David
