And PlayStation retroachievement support as well on 1.7.7+

@SpudsMcToole I've been using ChampGames' arcade clones to test this, so as a small token of gratitude here are the mockup game boxes I've made for them :)

@mitu of course
Sorry

Have just published this - https://retropie.org.uk/2019/07/composite-out-broken-on-retropie-4-5/

You can connect a second display only over the GPIO - something similar to this setup should get your 2 independent displays - one for normal gaming via HDMI and a 2nd one over the connected over SPI (GPIO pins).
The 2nd display can be used for showing the images (via fbi) or even videos (via omxplayer).

Switched back to VGA and uncommented 'hdmi_force_hotplug=1' and it seems to be working great! We will see how the sound is when I hook up the amp and speakers, thanks everyone for the advice! Really appreciate it!

for the future i now know the es_log.txt file could be interesting to have a look at first. Thanks

@Earthboundfan15 Please add more info about your system as requested in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@skykid said in Shaders not displaying properly, weird issue / CRT-PI etc.:

I have the backup of the retroarch.cfg I had before I replaced it with the dist version. To restore the console retroarch.cfg’s I should be able to pull them from a previous backup - but do I need to replace all the console files?

You can easily compare the versions you have on your backup with what you currently have installed.

The switching of the resolution between frontend and rom sounds like it was set prior in the runcommand, but I assure you it wasn’t! When I went in there today it was all totally vanilla. I never messed with anything in there before.

'in there' where ? How do you check it ? The video modes switch should be saved in the /etc/retropie/configs/all/videomodes.cfg file, you can also check there.

@dankcushions said in Text off screen edges.:

@piercedfreak ok, so now you try with negative numbers, i think. or larger positive numbers. it's measured in pixels

I had tried negative numbers with no effect, but just tried again, and they worked, and fixed it. Thanks.

@dankcushions These "mini" themes work perfect! I never thought of using 4:3 themes or were aware of them; it fixes the distortion problem and now everything's proportional, thank you :)

Ok I see... So it's possible to use my script and retropie However, only on a computer.
Thanks for the information I wasn't aware that on RP almost all emulators don't run on X.

Thanks a lot :)

The jagity edge is on any straight line. Thanks so much for the link. I have been trying all sorts of things to get this to look good. Thanks so much. The lines show on front end or in game.

@roken Try adding these lines to /boot/config.txt

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_drive=2

Ah, gotcha. Seen plenty of those too. Nothing bigger than about a 21' screen would be fine.

I've actually never seen one that is a two player model with joysticks. It's always been one player or two player touchscreen.
