nadenislamarre Hello ! I tested the X86_64 version and I have an important bug. If in sound settings I change the output to HDMI1, after reboot and the ES Logo, the screen goes black. I can still reboot via ssh but same problem on reboot. Also same problem if I do the change using Kodi.

This was working in previous versions and also on previous beta (beta of July 12). I use a Nvidia 750 Ti (with Nvidia driver enabled).

Thanks in advance for your reply !

PS : I tried to download again and still the same problem. I reverted to the 12 July beta and works. I don’t know what has changed since last beta...
PPS : in UI SETTINGS, I have in latest beta either AUTO or HDMI-1 when I had AUTO or HDMI-0 in previous version. This may have something to do with the problem...
PPPS : I also tried to put HDMI-0 in batocera.conf but same résultat, black screen after ES logo...

How does this feature work?

nadenislamarre new options available from es : fullboot for ps2 and emulatedwiimotes for wi

bili23

What about new MESA drivers ? AMD GPU's are still not playable in some emulators (Naomi, Atomiswave)...

poke

bili23 MESA3D_VERSION = 19.0.8

ysaquerai

what is the latest mame version for x64 PC version for 5.23, btw can you also look for the hidden files option although i have set the hidden files to not show, it always show the files that i have marked hidden

chris256

ysaquerai Hello ! Just to confirm that I have the same problem with hidden files.

nadenislamarre

i confirm the hidden file issue. i had it in my todolist, but if i have to fix all bugs, 5.23 would be never out.
while it is not a regression, i keep it for later

chris256

nadenislamarre Thanks for your reply! I’ll give feedback on regression only (when X86_64 version will be available).

nadenislamarreDude you do what you can in the best possible way. Keep doing it the way you do it. I'm just a user and I greatly appreciate your effort, and although there are bugs your work is amazing...

bili23

poke Yes, I'see it's a small update, but still not working in Naomi and Atomiswave on AMD RX580, AMD VEGA and other from this line (messed up graphics on start). Nowadays we have MESA 19.1.4.

Darknior

Excellent, thanks a lot for this update 🙂

poke

bili23 Does mesa 19.1.4 provide any improvement for the gpu models you mentioned?

joinski

bili23

you need a bios to launch the roms.
it is not a mesa issue

poke

chris256 After the white es log? Could you please generate a support file via ssh? We put a new nvidia-driver in the last beta.

Velvet

chris256 i have the same problem, if i change the output to analog that happens
i'm using x86_x64 in a laptop

bili23

poke I don't now if it provide any impovement, I'm not that much into it, but I can see some changes in the change log since 19.0.8 here -> https://www.mesa3d.org/relnotes/19.1.4.html
Weird thing is that in batocera 5.21 everything was working (but 5.22 has neogeoCD...)

chris256

poke Thanks for your reply ! Yes, it is after the white ES Log, just before the game lists are displayed. Sorry for the noobs question but could you tell me how to generate the support file (I know how to use ssh, but I don’t know the command to generate the log) ?

chris256

poke Hello again ! This does not seem related to the nvidia driver since @Velvet is experimenting the same issue with AMD GPU.

bili23

joinski I have all the bios I need, I can boot from the same hdd on my dell notebook with intel HD4000 and those emulators are working like a charm, when I plug this disk to my desktop with AMD GPU - they're not. It's not BIOS issue.

joinski

bili23

well... then it has to be a hardware incompatability.
just use the intel or a nvidia gpu instead.
or wait for a future version of batocera, where the issue will maybe fixed.

chris256

Velvet Are you also using nvidia-driver ?

poke

bili23 Generate a support file for me please. I will see if logs show something. I think no devs are using AMD GPUs.

poke

chris256 Procedure is in our wiki.

chris256

poke I am sorry but I don't find it here : https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/wiki/doku.php?id=en:start
I found an old post saying that it is "/recalbox/scripts/recalbox-support.sh" but the file does not exist. I searched for quite a long time but I cannot find the file. Can you help ?
