White flicker on moving through UI after update to 4.2.3
-
@AlexMurphy I will have to check that out. I haven't played N64 games in awhile with all the work I have been doing on the theme, this did not happen to me in the past. I wonder if it is an emulator update issue or an update to ES that is causing this? When did you notice this starting to happen?
Also we should take this conversation to a different thread. Thanks

@TMNTturtlguy Can't remember at all. One thing is that mupen64plus now supports
select+startto exit. -
I just tried the comic book theme and it does run very smooth, I do notice that if I scroll fast after I exit a game, the comic book stills in the background will be white for one sec til the background graphics load, I can still see the pane when it happens. Unfortunately the white box issue is still present for other themes that I use as well.

@RedBatman Update ES from source using the script. Might take around 30 minutes depending on your internet connection.
-
@AlexMurphy Where is that located? How do I update ES from source?
-
@RedBatman In the main ES menu under
Configuration>RetroPie SetUp Script>manage packages>manage core packages>emulationstation>update from source -
@AlexMurphy you should actually always exit emulationstation and update from source from the command line. Updating from source without exiting emulationstation can cause issues and you may run out of memory.
-
@TMNTturtlguy Yeah, sorry, I do. I always run the SetUp script from the terminal. I should have advised that. Good call.
-
@RedBatman to update from source do the following:
exit to the command line terminal
cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup sudo ./retropie_setup.shThen follow @AlexMurphy instructions above starting with manage packages.
-
Dang, I already did via emulation station. Its still going.
-
@RedBatman Don't worry as long as it doesn't throw any errors at you. Just let it do its' thing.
-
Only concern is the red thermometer symbol popping up, Should I buy a fan?
-
@RedBatman Only if you really need it. My Pis tend to run at about 50-60 Celsius, give or take. Get a heat sink and take the lid off and let some air flow over it. They can get warm when being stressed but I wouldn't worry too much.
-
Im using the stock heatsinks that came with my cana kit
-
@RedBatman Just take the lid off then and let some air at it. When the Pi is updating it is working pretty hard.
-
@AlexMurphy Well i started this update almost 2hrs ago and its still going, is that normal? I have Comcast Blast internet
-
Damn what could be causing it to take so long.
-
@RedBatman I take it you are in North America. It could just be the local servers are busy at this time. What time is it on the east coast , 9:20pm?
-
Yep it 9:25pm right now, and my mirror is University of Maryland.
-
Okay so 15 mins ago it finished, I still get the white box but the scrolling is smoother now
