Hello. Is there a reason why 5.27rc3 for Pi4 can’t play CHD files newer than v4 for Dreamcast anymore?
Only CHD v4 files generated with old CHDman v146 work.

5.26 for Pi4 had no problems to do that and play CHD generated with actual CHDman.

X86_64 5.27rc3 can play CHD v4 and newer.

So it seems not to be a 5.27 feature to drop CHD support for files newer v4, because x86_64 has not this problem.

In both platforms i use the flycast emulator.

I am testing the rc3 ×86 64 and the Black Screen Bug is gone. Great Job 👍

Played for few hours without problems. MAME 0.224 is significally faster than before but not that fast as Libretro 0.139 which just flies ….

I’ve tested my Systems and everything runs stabil and fast. I noticed no big bugs. There are 2 minor things that I like to mention. The first is, since Version 5.25 I can’t use any Controller at Citra standalone. It sets always the Keyboard as standard Controller, even when the Keyboard is not connected to my System. At Libreretro Citra and any other System it works fine. Directly at Citra I can change the Input Buttons to the Controller with one exception, the Home Button. It stays at the Keyboard and is not changeable. Maybe I am doing something wrong. Maybe someone else has the same Problem.
The second thing is that I can’t activate Vulkan. My Graphicscard is a Geforce 1660. Cpu Ryzen 3200g 16 Gb Ram. Thanks for reading.

go in menu > system > information to check if vulkan is available for your system

Lewi

Thank you. It says “none” for my 1660, just OpenGl.

Regression from 5.26 on the rc3, tested on OGA:

Hatari core (Atari ST) - games return immediately to ES

es_launch_stderr.log shows:

Your TOS image seems not to be a valid TOS ROM file!
(TOS version 201, address $fc00)
2020-09-07 21:26:00 INFO (emulatorlauncher.py:174):callExternalScripts(): calling external script: ['/usr/share/batocera/configgen/scripts/g
overnor.sh', 'gameStop', 'atarist', 'libretro', 'hatari', '/userdata/roms/atarist/{**ANY_GAME.ST**}']
2020-09-07 21:26:01 INFO (emulatorlauncher.py:235):<module>: Exiting configgen with status -11

My TOS image has the md5sum as required in the wiki, placed in the correct place and working with all games if I downgrade to 5.26

Do you need further info to help fix?

@alektronic thanks i will try to reproduce
@Cemi70 i think the pb is only on rpi4 (not sure). same, for saturn, the problem is only on rpi4.

Can I help you? Send a log, …?
Batocera OS is a very nice OS! Thank you for your work!

Will the problem with the Shaders we choose and configure be solved in this next version? until then, we saved the settings of the Shaders, but when we restart the raspberry the configuration goes off.

The sound of miniature video snaps still has no sound, even with surround sound turned off, but the screensaver works very well.

And I still have this problem or the screen is slightly cut on the edges (button icons and controller icons cut off) on my 4K TV with the driver Nvidia enabled.

And I also notice a longer loading start and then the games slow down and stuttering with 3DS games with the Citra 3DS emulator while it works very well with version 5.26 surely a setting in the emulator to do I think if that can help

My config : Intel core i5 9400F, 16Go RAM, RTX 2080 Super

Maybe I can help you with your Tv Problem. I had the same behavior but for me it has nothing to do with batocera. For me the Issue was my 4k Tv. I had to set my Tv to “Overscan”. Normaly you can set this at many Tv’s at P. Size. Maybe this solves your Problem.

my overscan in the settings is already activated and it doesn’t change anything. I think it’s a compatibility problem with Nvidia driver enabled on my RTX 2080 super card because if I disable the Nvidia driver I no longer have this problem but no sound on my Intel i5 9400f without an Intel graphics card

@maachal
for wifi, i will retest. it worked for me.
for rgui, why don’t you use hotkey+x hotkey+y ?! it should work
atari st : can you provide the log ? /userdata/system/logs/es_stderr.log
for analogic swapped stick, strange, can you just remap the pad ? but i guess it is because it is a xbox fake pad.

Did you have the same Problem in 5.26 with an older Driver Version?

@maachal

Internal Wi-Fi still not working, network searches and displays, but does not connect. Secure network, but also unsecured guest.
can’t reproduce. wifi works smoothly on my ogav2. have somebody else the problem ?

yomax

Lewi
yes I have the same problems with the stable 5.26 version, but I have not tried any old drivers except the latest ones automatically offered via NVIDIA experience
knowing that my pc is used as current games with a dual boot on 2 separate storages
