Thank you both

It Worked!!!!

that did the trick !!!!!!

@Clyde @mitu thank you for the help i really appreciate the feedback and found a solution that seems to be working. For my computer i use a small booster and so i tried putting it on the 2gb_EXT as a test last night, i just woke up and started using and having my phone as a wifi monitor and so far no disconnects.

Basically I'm trying to make the text on the dos type screen larger to make it readable on the Pi-boy

that’s what the console font link above achieves. (“console” in this context = dos type screen)

Would you recommend any alternatives?

I think I just did.

@mitu
I was using 9zip to unzip the image and it wasn't unzipping the entire image file for some reason. Decided to, as an experiment, use winrar instead and I noticed the image file was a different size - I'd not even thought to check this.

@quicksilver Thanks, got it now. :-)

usually?

I was just trying to point out if you're using a power supply with a detachable USB cable watch your length. I have a few that are 3 meters or 10 feet and the longer they are the more susceptible they will be to undervoltage.

I do like Anker power supplies and it sounds like you have plenty of amperage and it may even be a 5V power supply. The thing is high amperage doesn't mean a smooth 5V delivery. A good power supply will have the "filter" circuitry to deliver clean consistent power as well as under load.

Most of my USB cables are Amazon and I just rely on reviews if it's a decent cable. Just don't buy bottom of the barrel price cables. :)

@dbinott I think it's best that you post your own thread. You might have a different setup than @hodgoes2001

i've done this for you :)

Well, the main problem has been solved.

User error was the problem, (as expected). The thing that broke the dam was figuring out that the input_..._btn entries were for the controls vs. input_...(no _btn) entries. When I looked closer, I figured out I didn't have a complete set of hotkey inputs for the keyboard or the controller in the .../all/retroarch.cfg file.

So that is sorted. I still would like to know the answers to the other questions, but I can live with this.

Thanks!

@mediamogul words cant describe how mad i was at myself for not saving sooner.

@Efriim Ive done some overclocking tests with PPSSPP and its core_freq and sdram_freq that make the biggest difference with performance. I ran "top" while running a couple psp games and I never saw the CPU go much above 50% so I dont think overclocking ARM will help.

You don't really explain what's going on, but from what I can see, the display powers up, but you don't get any picture. I'm not sure it's the correct driver board, but if so, do you have to select the input with the side panel that you picked up and put down?

Yep, fixing the corrupted system ROMs was the key. The controls are dreadful and the emulator doesn't want to respond to F9 to exit, but those are other issues I can address. Thanks again!

Ok, found the file and it does match what you posted. There is .BIN and .bin so I must have other problem. Will try different things and see what i come up with.

@speeb
thanks for the heads up, that sounds a great idea so will look into it...

Actually, being in the RetroArch menu is similar to being in an emulator, none of my controllers seem to register (except arrow keys here). Frustrating, have to pull the plug again.
