update -

i retired the 1600x1200 screen from 2007 (LP2065, which is the same panel as the 2007FP) and switched to my main 1080p monitor i use for the MiSTer - Acer Nitro XF243Y (https://www.rtings.com/monitor/reviews/acer/nitro-xf243y-pbmiiprx).

there wasnt anything wrong with the LP2065, but after doing a swap and test with my gaming monitor, it was apparent the monitor from 2007 doesnt hold up well in 2023. while very sharp and 4:3, the response time seemed sluggish compared to the Acer, almost like the LP2065 was on a slight video delay.

and the overall input lag experience was noticeable. the reported input lag of a LP2065 panel is ~16ms at 60hz

and the XF243Y is ~9ms at 60hz (see rtings review). while thats not too much of a difference in actual input lag, when combined with the almost instant response time of the XF243Y, the LP2065 just "feels" old.

also better colors on the Acer, and its an LED panel so it uses way less power and doesnt get hot. i am happy

Hi,

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Sorry for not having fully specified my config.
When writing this very post, I was going through the template for it using the link you provided and came across the question 'usb devices connect'. At this point I thought of trying starting Amiberry without having my 2 Xbox (original) controllers connected, which are in turn connected to my USB hub.
And guess what...this did the trick! Amiberry now starts fine. I'm able to reproduce the issue so this is really the problem. Disconnecting either one of the 2 controllers will also work. But 2 at the same time won't work. I'm not having any other issues with both connected at the same time. I have a 5A PSU and never seen the rainbow logo with this setup except immediately after power on (bios screen).

I hope this may help anyone else stumbling upon this in the future.

@beldar I think it's something where the cable probably shouldn't be working, but does.

I mentioned here I was using an Argon One V2 case, that case didn't work with the same cable.

However I just purchased an official cable, and it works fine.

False positives everywhere

@mitu Thanks for your reply. So I guess I'm stuck then and will need to get some of those I pac boards. Any recommendations on the type I need for the setup to work correctly? I haven't looked into them yet but noticed there were a few options to choose from. Many thanks

@mitu Oh Sorry!!
My english is very bad jaja.

So.. im gonna to try the scripts and when i have a switch im gonna try it connecting it to ha 5V and ground GPIO.

Thank you so much!

I accidentally ran wget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/RetroPie-OpenBOR-scripts/master/openbor.sh -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor.sh

Accidentally, you say ?

was able to install this with no issue, but not showing ports in ES

You should post in this topic, where @cyperghost added this script, and add a link to the new installation log.

okay impatiently lol, I'll head over there, thanks!

@mitu ahhhhh, I was waiting on the auto copy, it's formatted as ntfs, is that an issue?

You'll have to decide what format you have on the disc - is it ntfs or ext4 ?
Please use the documentation and follow the instructions - you have to choose one of the methods described there and take into account what filesystem you have.

Still though, would have been nice for Citra to benefit from USB ROM transfer and stuff.

Great news, will do ASAP!
