      @pjft hi there

      any plan to apply the fix to the current stable release?
      2.9.6?
      last working on out of the box is 2.9.3

      as posted the dev one has the prob fixed with video but has other probs as showing all rom extensions in a system. even though they are removed from es_systems file

      If i have in es_systems only lets say chd (lower case) it will also display the upper case ones CHD
      otherwise it would be ok

      Your friend,

        @2play one thing doesn't influence the other, to be honest, but I'd rather solve the issue you're facing on dev. Last time you stated you were going to dig into the logs and debug options and then update - any news there?

        I will look into how these graduate to stable at some point, but it's unrelated.

          @pjft i hear you but there must be a diferrence in the dev code
          as 2.9.4 installed handles extensions ok
          but dev not and its just the binary changed

          I havent looked more into the ES dev as i have removed it when discovered the extension prob and needed to work on something else.
          Latest weird thing happens now , is that video snaps dont play sound unless OMX HW is enabled. Videoscreensaver has no sound whatever i tried. I m using 2.9.3 at the moments as its the last ES that I can start the game from VSCR.

          Im checking one at a time but everytime something fixed something else happens. I have latest OS updates, April FW
          Ill post more. I ll put back 2.9.6 to do more testing on the sound things

          PS i ll test more ES dev but that extensions prob displays rom counts and roms incorrectly
