Community provided build for 5.27 with nvidia-legacy: https://batocera.org/users/alexxandrefs/5.27-nvidia-legacy/ I’m looking for someone to maintain this c...

Kossay im getting some horizontal lines

Kossay its like some kind of horizontal sync failing.

you mean screen-tearing?

Kossay

joinski the monitor is 60hz and im getting 59-60fps so i dont think its that. It's something about the emu cause im losing graphics quality too, i mean acording to some youtube gameplays(in batocera of course pc) they got better image quality. For example dreamcast bro, thats awesome it looks amazing really, better than ps2 and gamecube!

could you make a video and upload on youtube? i still don't know, what you mean.

you can change some graphic settings in pcsx2 emulator config, and then see, if the graphic will be better. just press F1 while in ES Menu and navigate to Applications.

Kossay

joinski im gonna see if i can do that after work today (Y)

I'm trying to do the update but I get this in PuTTY:

starting the upgrade...

need to download 1124mB
Not enough space on /boot to download the update

My batocera is installed in the internal HDD of the PC, what should I do?

t0nito

I made a back up copy of the batocera file within the boot directory and deleted the batocera file, the update still says it has no space, I tried to copy the backup back in the original directory and now it says I don't have space for that either and now it doesn't boot WTF.

EDIT: I don't understand what's happening, I'm in Ubuntu, I deleted the batocera file, I have the "show hidden files option" on. I can only see the small files inside the partion, but it says I have 986,2MB of 2,0 Gb available, my original backup batocera file is 991,7 Mb and won't fit, but I can't find what is taking 1061,8 Mb inside the partition so I can free up some space. This linux thing is really complicated...

t0nito

Ok, so I was able to make it work again by entering ubuntu, formatting the batocera boot partition, manually downloading 5.22 from the link you provided, burn the image to a flash drive and copy the boot directory back to the BATOCERA partition going to grub editor and write a new MBR, unfortunately enabling the NVIDIA driver makes it boot to a black screen and bllinking cursor. I went ahead and redownloaded your previous 5.21 image, made the same procedures and now it's working fine again.

Unfortunately it seems my system doesn't like version 5.22. My GPU is an NVIDIA NVS 310.

Thank goodness my system dualboots to ubuntu, it made life much easier for me.

t0nito

5.22 Not working, hello? Anyone?

poke

t0nito Could you be more precise? Disable quiet boot in grub.conf and send me the error. Or, try to ssh to your box and send me the output of dmesg.

t0nito

poke Well I have installed 5.21 after that, but I did try with putty to manually initiate emulationstation and I believe I got a "Failed to start X server" error.

1) use a paste service https://pastebin.com/login
2) you are not using nvidia-legacy.
3) there plenty of posts describing how to solve the problem you reported. search first!
https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/forum/d/644-not-enough-space-on-boot-to-update
4) don't hijack a thread sending random logs. what i asked to @t0nito doest not apply for you.

Shockwave

1) My fault and I should have used Pastebin. I apologize for that.
2) GTX 750 Ti? Really? Hmmm...
3) I did use the search function, which led me here....oh well.
4) I didn't think I was hijacking but clearly saw the error of my ways. Won't do it again.

poke

Shockwave Your log says you are using the 4xx branch (vanilla batocera image).

poke

Shockwave did you manage to get boot vanilla batocera with nvidia-driver? Nvidia documentation says it is supported by the 4xx version.

poke

t0nito To help you further, I would need a support archive from 5.22.

t0nito

poke Will booting from a pen drive suffice? Or else I'll have to erase the working internal version and install again.

BTW, I also tried booting directly from a pen drive on my ASUS laptop and it shows a splashscreen for a brief moment then loads to a black screen also.

Shockwave

poke Yup, I have it up and running with the stock 5.21 image now no Nvidia settings changed yet. I'm about to run through the update link you posted in response to my original ask-for-help above to see if I can update it that way and activate the Nvidia settings. I checked the Nvidia link and my GTX 860M/750Ti equivalent should be covered.

I would have done it earlier, but just got back in town.

poke

t0nito It should be possible to boot from a pendrive.

Hi, I have the nvidia geforce GT 730 graphic card and when i enable the nvidia drivers the resolution drops a lot and the not full screen anymore, is the any fix for that? Anyone with the same problem?

Keep the good work developers 🙂

poke

webdata Which version? vanilla or nvidia-legacy?
