@mitu I confirmed that the initial freeze reported in November is not the same as the freeze I am experiencing. I also confirmed that this commit in ES-dev from 26-Feb is causing my RPi4B freeze. Only trying to understand why, since I'm certain that when I first received this commit, everything was fine with my system, and had been for quite sometime. I only started noticing random freezes after updating RPi software with sudo apt update and sudo apt full-upgrade on June 12th, 2021.

HYPOTHESIS #1: Something in the commit may be incompatible with the latest vlc-bin: 3.0.12-0+deb10u1+rpt2.

I ruled out overclocking, as I receive the freeze as often overclocking as not overclocking.

Kernel and firmware also may be ruled out. I rolled back to January, well before I noticed issues and freeze still occurs. Possible user-error on my part, but I doubt it.

I also compiled a version of vlc (version 11) but I failed to get it to render with the screensaver (or video snaps)... I may try again to prove or disprove my hypothesis above.

Beyond that, I'm out of ideas. Something changed since that commit. Not sure how many people are running ES-dev. The improvements are remarkable. But to remain stable, I'll have to stick with stable.

Hope this information is helpful.

Dear @Zenjiro, @MrSeven, if I may make another request: I noticed there are dedicated folders for lightgun and trackball games, but not for spinner and vector games. Would it be possible to add these to the theme?

For Atari Portfolio, i’ll do an artwork with 3 views (complet system, no artwork and zoom) after my vacation.

Here is an update to my Realistic Arcade Bezel for Frenzy for use with Retroarch. Reflective Shader by HyperspaceMadness

@nivlat said in Cocktail computer/retrogaming table:

you can view them clearly from above, but not from below

Viewing angles really depend on the TV screen.

raspberry OS and retropie to automatically rotate screen 180 on start up?

I believe so, yes.

On the same topic, since the user will be looking at the screen from an angle, is there a preferred tecnology? led, lcd, etc...?

I go with whatever I have on hand. The quality will vary TV to TV.

Would there be a problem plugging 3 wireless devices on the Pi? keyboard and two joypads

I don't believe so, no.

@edillenback said in Skyscraper / Steven Selph's Scraper working on some builds and not others???:

@drdave79 Just wish I had better news for you. I'm still having issues with both command line scrapers on anything but my existing build. The built-in GUI scraper does work and isn't bad after I took @mitu 's advice of unchecking the 'user decides on conflict' but that won't help you with videos.

Has to be something about the build process on my end but I'm doing pure vanilla installs and still have no idea what it could be.

Have you tried Skyscraper?

Yes, I've tried both. Same result.

@barbudreadmon
Thanks for the info ;)

@retropieuser555
At last I have located this menu and I have managed to make the appropriate changes so that the mouse recognizes me.

If it were not for your help, I would not have achieved it. Thanks ;)

@jimmyfromthebay said in Booting the Dragon 32 in lr-mess without a disk drive:

@folly Cheers, but setting it to "ram" seems to have worked.

Indeed, there are more options.
Glad to hear that this has worked.

I think you used my script to install dragon32.
You should mention that so people are not getting confused.

Just curious, how are you going to summarize all your findings now scattered all over multiple threads ?

You can "move" any folder to another location by using a symbolic link in its place. See the following example for moving /opt to /media/usb0/opt by using RetroPie's command shell that you get to by pressing F4 in Emulation Station (everything behind # is just a comment):

sudo mv -v /opt /media/usb0 # move opt to the usb drive 0 with [-v]erbose output sudo ln -s /media/usb0/opt /opt # create the [-s]ymlink

Exit the console by entering exit or press Ctrl+d.

Caution: Always make a backup of your sd card before doing something this intrusive. I didn't test this myself, so I don't know if RetroPie is completely okay with a symlink for opt. Do extensive testing right after the operation.

@90sgamer Please provide all of the information that's asked for in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@retroeddie Can you show us some pictures of the cab?

For a (mostly) black cabinet, C.A.B.B. came to my mind, in reference to K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider. 😎

I didn't think up any meaning for this acronym, however. You'd have to come up with one on your own. 😉

@dankcushions Thanks!

Works for me

@derekr resizing to 512x512 seems to have fixed a lot of the issues. Another one that I came across was that the ".PNG" extension of a couple of my files was capitalized. Make sure that your files use the lowercase ".png" extension.

@stuffu I haven't forgot about this, I briefly tested with the current binary and looked at the logs, but haven't made any progress. Haven't given up on this yet, I'll post some details when I find something and probably test with the latest release afterwards.

@weissnix4711 said in HDMI CEC Remote support, seems there but not working:

Hey, sorry for bumping this old thread, but could I get an update on this?

There hasn't been any new code added for CEC support.
