Batocera don't want to boot on x64

Mightyous

Hi Folks,
i've tried to boot Batocera.Linux on to different x64 machine's. But only a black screen appear. I used it on an USB Stick and on an internal HDD. One PC says by USB "no Operatin System Found". My another PC only black screen. I used Fetcher and Win32 DiskImager. Always the Same. I know how to handle the tools, it works on my Raspbery and Odroid, too.

The PC that says "no Operating System Found" is not set up correctly in BIOS to boot from USB (maybe you have to disable "Secureboot").

The other PC, where you only have a black screen... how long did you wait? My experience is, that on some systems you have to wait for 10-25 Minutes for the first boot of Batocera. So maybe you have to wait a bit longer.

And last but not least: Can you list the components of your PCs? Maybe they are not compatible with Batocera.

of course, i've set BiOS to boot on USB.
It doesn't any OS on USB drive.
Wit Secureboot, i have to look for it.

First PC:
Core i7
Geforce Gtx 1070

Second PC:
Quadcore Intel Celeron J3455
Intel HD Graphics 500

You have to disable Secureboot in BIOS.
But don't expect much from your first PC. Because GTX 1070 may not be supported yet (because if you are unlucky, the GPU-driver of batocera does not support it and so the system does not use hardware acceleration, and it will run very slowly).

On the second PC it should run fine, but you have to wait longer on the first boot (it could take up to 25 minutes or even more, until the black screen disappears).

Ok i found it, Securityboot was disabled before. It was booting after few minutes. Yesterday i was waiting 2 hours. Do not why. But there is no sound 🙁

joinski

What do you see under Sound Settings, Output Device?

Mightyous

Auto, Custom, ALC269VCanalog, HDMI 0, HDMI 1, HDMI 2, HDMI 3, HDMI 4.
With HDMI 0 it works on Emulationsstation but not on Kodi. Kodi i changed to HDA Intel PCH, Aci Asus VG278HR on HDMI #0 but nothing happen.

That's strange.
It should work on Kodi too.
I don't know how i can help you, sorry 🙁
On my systems, when sound is working on Emulationstation, it is always working on Kodi too.

Mightyous

Now it works after reboot.
But i have to change it on Kodi too.
Thanks for your help.

I'm glad, that it works now 🙂
Can you tell something about performance in Gamecube and Dreamcast games?

Mightyous

Good job 😉
I have no GC or DC Games. Maybe i can look for it.
