@dirtbagxon I was deeply discouraged by some 16:9 singe v2 timegal release.

I hear you there....

There are some new lair2 overlay improvements in the repo, if you feel inclined, but I'm not sure what is going on with your jittering now to be honest.

Maybe my eyes are just too old now 8)

@dirtbagxon New problem with these 1080p versions. Both lair1 and ace get a black screen eventually but I can hear the audio. I haven't finished the first level in lair2 but I didn't get it with that one. I can see some text for a brief second..something about video parsing. Is there a way to force hypseus to parse everything again? I can only find info about deleting some dat file which I'm not sure what it's called or where it's located.

Delete the .dat files in each on their directories.

cd lair.daphne
rm *.dat           <- Check that command carefully

cd ../ace.daphne
rm *.dat

cd ../lair2.daphne
rm *.dat

You should see the regeneration of the .dat files next time you start each game.

Trying to run these 1080p videos on a RPi will be problematic, you may want to re-encode the resolution down a little.

I believe you are a Mac user, so ffmpeg maybe your route here:

ffmpeg -i dl-slates-orig.m2v -vf scale=800:600 -codec:v mpeg2video -b 4182k dl-slates.m2v

But we are getting into a whole different arena here, maybe do some reading up on this.

Ah, I needed to get rid of all of the dat files, thanks.

How so? I tested all 3 games for almost an hour and they don't seem to have any problems? My pi4 is overclocked. 2Ghz for cpu, and 750Mhz for gpu.

@roslof

The Timetraveler font misalignment issue:

Copy the ds-digib.ttf as a backup from Timetraveler folder, then load it in:

http://www.glyphrstudio.com/online/

Then immediately save it as an OTF font, it will be named MyFont-Bold.otf.

Rename this .otf file to overwrite ds-digib.ttf.

Thank me later.......

Darksavior

If anyone was wondering about the cpu usage when using 1080p 4:3 rips:

pi4 2Ghz/750Mhz = ~87% max
pi4 2Ghz/stock gpu = no change
pi4 stock = 90% most of the time. 100% max :(

New problems? Compiled the newest release. Only other difference is that I'm now using a pad if it matters:

space ace: Eh..nevermind. Few more tests and no more desyncs in level 3.

lair1: Now had a crash with pad (played a good bit of it with previous release with no crashes with kb). Took a while so not sure if I can reproduce it. The error messages pops up in ace too but that doesn't crash:

Hey DS: Rebuilt dat fiies? I playtest Space Ace regularly with no issues on any variation, included the "Enhancement" version. But I'm using the 720P version, so not certain what might be happening if you are using the 1080p version.

You ain't wrong. SO MUCH BETTER! My OCD is no longer making me twitch here. :)
It's later now, so Thank You. :P

@roslof Yea, just rebuilt all my dat files with the 3 donbluth games.

Gotcha. The only other thing I can imagine is an ace.txt (framefile) mismatch with the videos you have. Hope this is helpful.

Parameters:
Executing: SDL1_VIDEODRIVER=dispmanx SDL_DISPMANX_WIDTH=1920 SDL_DISPMANX_HEIGHT=1080 /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.sh "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/dle21.daphne"

Just noticed your edit with Dragon's Lair. Odd to see SDL1/Dispmanx there. Not certain if this is being ignored or used, since Hypseus uses SDL2 and no Dispmanx. I suspect these are in your /opt/retropie/configs/daphne/emulators.cfg file? I think you could (backup and) remove those. I didn't have those for the original Daphne emulator either.

From my runcommand.log, here is my Executing line for the dle21 enhancement version which you appear to be running:

Parameters:
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.sh "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/dle21.daphne"

Also here is my corresponding command-line from the same log:

Command line: /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin dle21 vldp -framefile /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/dle21.daphne/dle21.txt -homedir /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne -fullscreen

Also, I'm not seeing these errors that are in your logs:

Error, bug in Dragon's Lair's move disable

So, very different options. Again, hope this is useful information for you.

Darksavior

@roslof What I posted was my runcommand.log. My emulators.cfg has only pointed to daphne.sh and nothing else. I'm using dirtbag's modified daphne.sh and it doesn't have anything like that either. I'm using the kms driver so it would be impossible for that command to be real since I get no video with normal daphne. I'm viewing the log from ssh.

@DirtBagXon I discovered your fork late last night and so far it works great on my Pi 4 8GB (In a modded Arcade1up cab).

It seems you have released another version while I slept so can I please ask the correct procedure to update a working install?

Thanks everyone for the great work going on!

DirtBagXon

@312bhp

Easiest upgrade path for this release (2.2.1 ) would be to follow the removal instructions in the README, and then re-install.

The reason I say "on this release" is that I did quite a bit of refactoring of overlays and added new fonts and features:

hyp2.2.1.png

You can revert to the previous overlay/look by adding:

 -alt_osd -blend_osd

...to the lair.daphne/lair.commands file as detailed in RetroPie daphne docs for adding game specific arguments.

On a 'normal' update, it would follow something like this:

git pull origin RetroPie

Then recompile following the 'make' step in docs and copy over the new hypseus binary:

cp build/hypseus  /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin

Hopefully it won't change too much from now on... just ironing out some things that bugged me and better handling of HD video.

DirtBagXon

@Darksavior

Edit: Just saw @roslof already pointed you in this direction... but definitely not coming from daphne.sh

From your log above:

SDL1_VIDEODRIVER=dispmanx

This looks to be SDL1 specific, remember hypseus is SDL2, there are several functions/operations that won't port over correctly...

I have no ideas where that is coming from in your execution, certainly not from the daphne.sh file, something else in RetroPie is passing environment variables/arguments to that script.

Certainly related to the size parameters you are passing:

SDL_DISPMANX_WIDTH=1920 SDL_DISPMANX_HEIGHT=1080

@dirtbagxon thanks, I will try it tonight. I was amazed last night when I installed it and a scoreboard appeared!

@Darksavior another thought is that is might be coming from the Daphne command-line ines_systems.cfg. Either the default in /etc/emulationstation or if you are using an override, likely found in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation.

For reference, here is my entry:

@roslof I have the same exact entry. I'll start fresh whenever there's a new release of retropie.

Try a search of the config files:
