Thanks.

Sorry about that - naive mistake from my end on the random selection logic refactoring.

I just submitted a fix, and I'm providing a patched binary here:

https://github.com/pjft/EmulationStation/releases/download/2.4.0/emulationstation

In case you want to install it yourself.

Thanks for flagging this.

To install, exit ES, and in the terminal (or via SSH), run:

mkdir ES-update cd ES-update wget https://github.com/pjft/EmulationStation/releases/download/2.4.0/emulationstation chmod +x emulationstation sudo cp emulationstation /opt/retropie/supplementary/emulationstation

and then reboot.

Should be good.

Sorry about that once again.

@herb_fargus thanks you! super!

@mediamogul sweet, thank you.

@isrnick said in Emulationstation crashes after RetroPie boots up - Permission denied:

@mitu But the keyboard is disabled when it crashes, so you can't type the commands to even open raspi-config to be able to enable SSH.

Sometimes, I can free the keyboard by pressing Alt+PrtScr/SysRq+R simultaneously. It's a Linux Magic SysRq key combination that switches the keyboard from raw mode, which graphical programs tend to use, to XLATE mode. May be worth a try.

Note that on some keyboards, Laptops etc. the key combination is slightly different. See the link above for the variations.

@magostinelli kindly check my comments on github

See @ruckage 's NES mini theme. Will give you a lot of ideas for the carousel.

@FlyingTomahawk the script and instructions have been updated on github under my original repo. Here is the link:
github Change_es_systems

I am going to start a new thread with this script and instructions as well.

Edit: link to new thread

@jaydeesox
For some reason the menu defaults to the dvi cable. Once unplugged this issue goes away and reverts to HDMI only

@jay81uk

It'll run a good bit slower to be sure, but it does run. This speed test video may help you make up your mind.

@gollem1 should add, retropie v4.0.2

In the moment there is only a pull request in es-theme-carbon.
You must wait until it will be merged.

If you want to try it you can copy the folder "x68000" from https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon/tree/3ff4d1f136a8e2eacc44fb71aa0abaa36ed94865 to "/etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon".

I haven't tried it until now.

@TMNTturtlguy btw most of the platforms are listed here:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/e03a7f5f857f3bbe5bc216baf990a3bc57e6725a/platforms.cfg

some may not be but they'll be in their individual modules.

I've updated carbon accordingly, sorry for missing that in the first place.

alright, thank you very much. I am now able to change the resolution of my waveshare.
but the aspect ratio doesn't change at all. eve though I specify the aspect ratio in the hdmi_cvt-argument

I have updated this method as well as updated the comic book theme to support custom systems. @meleu has also create a very nice linking method as well. If you are interested see the post here which provides directions and links to both methods. New Comic Book Theme!

@herb_fargus Thank you so much! Really appreciate it.

@meleu Power saver is not the same as screensaver. It toggles Polling and Waiting for event. If Waiting is triggered, video with vlc is stopped, audio is not. This happens due to the screen not drawing new frames.

Current behaviour for PS is to be disabled on IGameLstView.etName()=="video" where videos are present. If OMX handles videos differently by displaying that section using a secondary thread for rendering then PS can be always on and videos will work nicely
