Grid tile background size

A12C4

@paffley There is a bug with the horizontal direction that were added by the latest update.

Thanks @A12C4 I thought maybe there was, my math is not brilliant but I tried all variations possible haha!

Is there a changelog for the grid mode available?

There was one thing I noticed. I have a horizontal single row grid of 4 and when it goes to the next section (after the 4th tile) it hangs for about 2-3 seconds then loads up the next. It does this everytime it hits the 4th tile and loads up the next page of tiles. I did not notice this on my previous build of 'jessie' with latest emulationstation-dev installed. But on 'stretch' it does the above and hangs.

I can do some more tests if you would like?

Currently: Running latest retropie stretch build with latest emulationstation-dev installed from experimental packages on a Pi 3.

Update: it's as if its loading the grid boxart into the memory because when you go back (to the previous set of tiles) it loads up fine. But on reboot of Pi it starts all over again and hangs.

Hope this is helpful.

I have around 9 systems loaded with the typical rom set amount and it now just freezes completely when selecting the Grid view so I'm unable to run any further tests.

Currently: Running latest retropie stretch build with latest emulationstation-dev installed from experimental packages on a Pi 3.

Hope this helps.

So, I removed all systems apart from 1, runs fine with no hanging. As soon as you put another system in it starts to hang pretty bad and the obvious of putting more systems on, hangs longer. When I had 9 systems loaded, I left it for over an hour and it was still hanging so I turned off the pi.

Currently: Running latest retropie stretch build with latest emulationstation-dev installed from experimental packages on a Pi 3.

Hope this helps.

@paffley Sorry for not responding I got some troubles with my computer that needed to be fixed before I can get back to this project.

Thank you for the testing. This is a well known issue that is being discussed here. A fix should be released soon.

@A12C4 sorry to hear about your computer issues (I know that very well!).

That's all super thank you, I'll keep testing from my end, I'm testing tile size, tile amount, image size & file size and also screen resolutions tests to see if anything helps along the way.

Keep up the great work, it's very appreciated!

I'll keep you updated.

Hey @A12C4 Hows the grid view coming along? anything new with it as yet?
