      Weekly update!

      I'm still experimenting with Qt 5.15 (an update that might fix various long-time issues), and looks like next week there might be a release ready for testing. Other than that, another old issue was the lack of logos in the main theme, so I added a few more:

      • Added logos for Nintendo DS, 3DS, GameCube, Switch, Wii, Wii U, PlayStation 2, 3, Xbox, Xbox 360, DOS, Windows 3.1, Windows and Linux to the main theme. They are used when a collection's short name is set to nds, 3ds, ngc, switch, wii, wiiu, ps2, ps3, xbox, x360, dos, win31, windows and linux, respectively
      • Fixed some incorrect logo colors in the main theme

        @fluffypillow Btw, retropie has preliminary 64bit support now, if you want to update pegasus for that.

          Nice! I wonder how it affects performance in general.

            Weekly update!

            • Fixed a crash when loading Lutris games
            • Fixed networking errors with Steam and GOG videos
            • Fixed a very rare possibility of game play times not saving accurate information
            • Improved the program icon on Windows to support large icon size views
            • Updated to Qt 5.15 on all platforms except macOS, which should fix the networking errors on Windows with WiFi connections, and bring general staility and performance improvements. It also may (or may not) fix the TV-related issues on the Pi 4, but I couldn't confirm that yet. Feedback is welcome!

            System requirements changes

            Due to the Qt update, the minimal required Android release is now 5.0 (Lollipop, released in 2015).

              In case this helps anyone else, I had a problem with a RPi4 on a 4K TV when trying out Pegasus.

              My Pi was already setup to force a 1080p screen mode in the /boot/config.txt by setting -

              hdmi_group=1
hdmi_mode=16

              But when I launched Pegasus, it was rendering as if it was a 4K resolution while still outputting as a 1080p screen, so I only saw the top left quarter of the Pegasus screen output on the TV.

              I tried using setting QT_QPA_EGLFS_WIDTH and QT_QPA_EGLFS_HEIGHT as mentioned above, but no joy still.

              I was able to fix it though by adding the config option -

              hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080

              Then Pegasus uses the right 1080p resolution so all looks good.

              PS - Really liking Pegasus with the gameOS theme!

                Interesting! Does hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080 fix your 4K issues too, @Darksavior?

                  @fluffypillow It's a dirty fix. I've discussed it with you before. Since Pegasus ignores all resolutions set in config.txt, hdmi ignore is the only way for Pegasus to use 1080p60. If I don't use the hdmi ignore setting, Pegasus defaults to the maximum res a monitor/tv can use. In my case, 4k30. I'm not sure if Pegasus is fast enough for 4k60 but I bet it ignores that setting in config.txt too.

                  I never did figure out how to set a resolution from within Pegasus. This also doesn't fix the black screen with the new kms driver.

                    @Darksavior ah sorry, I'm having some troubles trying to keep track things. Would you mind creating a GitHub issue for this? For the black screen issue, I may be able to check it next week, and for the screen size, I just found an env var called QT_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTORS which might help with scaling Pegasus (eg. =0.5 to scale it down).

                      @fluffypillow Ok. Though, I do not get @Tricko 's problem. Not using the hdmi ignore setting, Pegasus has no issues being displayed in 4k30.

                        @Darksavior I've just tried a freshly flashed RetroPie with the 5.4 kernel and dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d, and both ES and Pegasus appear fine -- however every graphical application, including ES or RetroArch, makes the left half of my (1080p) TV screen glitchy and flicker constantly. I didn't feel safe to use this driver at all.

                          @fluffypillow Is raspbian fully updated? My brief usage of the kms driver only gave me artifacts in 4k, but 1080p was fine in ES. Black screen in Pegasus. I know the driver is a wip but I'd like for Pegasus to at least give me an image.

                            @Darksavior Yes, I've updated both the kernel and the packages, and I get the display glitches with that driver. Pegasus displays correctly for me, as before, it's just the TV itself that flickers.

                              @fluffypillow Well, I am stumped. I get a black screen with Pegasus on both my 4k tv and 1440p monitor when using the kms driver.

                                    @spartan what ended up being the problem? I see the relevant errors appear to be font definition related:

                                          hi fluffy pillow. thank you for your amazing work. despite i read all the documentation on pegasus website, i have trouble to launch any games from pegasus through retroarch and dolphin. i don’t understand what i have to wrote in the metadata file. could you tell me as real world exemple what i have to write exactly to make it work retroarch super nintendo core and dolphin, assuming my file path is c:\retroarch\retroarch.exe and c:\dolphin\dolphin.exe. i’m on windows 10. thank you for your help.

                                            @mcfly Hi, sure, here's an example for SNES:

                                            collection: Super Nintendo Entertainment System
shortname: snes
extensions: 7z, bin, smc, sfc, fig, swc, mgd, zip, bin
launch: C:\retroarch\retroarch.exe -L C:\retroarch\cores\snes9x_libretro.dll {file.path} -f

                                            And one for GameCube (not 100% sure about this, haven't tested Dolphin on Windows):

                                            collection: GameCube
shortname: ngc
extensions: iso
launch: C:\dolphin\dolphin.exe {file.path}
