There is a problem with the Chinese character library, and garbled characters appear.
Hope to solve in time
I sent you a new font file.

MrCoffee

Are there any examples of uses of "scripts"?..

nadenislamarre

MrCoffee yes, we should document it.
by the way, in short :

place a script in /userdata/system/scripts
let's say : /userdata/system/scripts/toto.sh
make it executable : chmod a+x /userdata/system/scripts/toto.sh
this script will be called with gameStart snes retroarch snes9x /userdata/roms/snes/som.smc
when the game will start
and the same with gameStop when stopped.

in this recent build, can shaders be permenantly saved even when batocera is restarted?

Viperslayer

Are we close to an updated N2 build? I know there was talk of a newer release being issued but I'm not sure if progress stalled?

Great work anyway, even the previous builds are still amazing!

nadenislamarre

the odroidn2 is in standby. i've a bug in a linux kernel making sound not work. i wait a feedback to get a fix on it. (please don't continue n2 on this thread, this is reserved for rc feeedback)

i am having problems with wii with the newest update, when i put games with .wad files, batocera is not recognizing the game, older versions of batocera recognizes .wad wiiware games now its not recognizing it, i updated the gamelists, wiiware games doesnt show up

i'm using batocera-5.23-x86_64-20190828.img

Tried the new version on my Dell Optiplex 320 SSF with Asus EAH5450 GFX card and it still crashing, I will try another GFX card in it tonight.

nadenislamarre

@ysaquerai i confirm. some extensions where cleaned, and this one was removed by mistake.
it will be added in 5.24 i think because it is not a big bug. you can workaround it by adding the .wad extension (or upgrading soon in 5.24).

BZZ

nadenislamarre How would you go about adding .wad so it works ?🙂

Also general question/request -> is there a chance for legacy Nvidia versions integrated? Maybe an option to install new drivers or legacy ? Or separate release in 5.24 for that? And yes I am aware that 5.22 exists. ;-)

ysaquerai

nadenislamarre sorry i'm such a noob, how do i add the .wad extension temporarily? anyways thanks for your hardwork in batocera 🙂

First of all, thanks a lot for your hard work, Batocera is awesome.

The only issue I have is with Bluetooth pairing of 8bitdo controllers on Pi3B+. I've tried everything I read on this and Recalbox's forum, ES either tells me "impossible to pair" or "paired successfuly" but neither work. I managed to trust/connect/pair the controller using the scripts in SSH, but when I reboot everything is gone and I have to do it again...

Any clues?

tenyo

tenyo @nadenislamarre hi, any idea what I should do to fix my bluetooth issue? What is weird is that it's working perfectly in Recalbox. Thanks for your help.

BZZ

I just wanted to add another game that is about 4.5 GB. The system has 39GB free however on copy over network my windows tells me that there is not enough space.

nadenislamarre

@ysaquerai rc0 updated to add the .wad to make it easier to you.
@BZZ batocera is a single file. you cannot install or remove software on it. it comes as it is.
lyon00 how to reproduce the font issue ? how do you solve it ?

lyon00

nadenislamarre
The font file you are using is problematic. Chinese cannot be displayed completely, just replace the normal font.

nadenislamarre
I have tried to replace Microsoft Yahoo, and the three fonts have been replaced. Since Microsoft Yahoo is involved in copyright issues, it can be replaced with the free font squared blackbody.
Just replace the fonts under these three paths to solve
/usr/share/fonts/dejavu
DejaVuSansMono.ttf
/usr/share/retroarch/assets/ozone
regular.ttf
/usr/share/retroarch/assets/xmb/monochrome

After you switch to Chinese, you can see garbled characters when you enter retroarch.

ysaquerai

nadenislamarre thanks for the update, wiiware works fine now, hope you could update the hide files bug & permanent shader apply 🙂 many thanks again

prog-amateur

Hello, did somebody tested the enhanced shader mode ? Is it a new shader or is that you can chose your own shader ? Thank you very much
