Thoughts on Batocera v36 stable (PC)

fonzi

Overall seems good with some nice additions,the volume game per game,as well as added systems like xbox360 and Vita which I still need to fully test. (yeah I know the much talked about Lightgun support is another big plus which I havent tried myself)

But I came across two issues.

One I know has been reported on github.

The yabasanshiro core is running slow. I presume this is the updated Sep 28 build thats the issue? Dont know.

For now we can switch to the Beetle core for Saturn,runs great but ofcourse no upscale option

The other issues I have is LR Flycast and Flycast.

These work for Dreamcast,Naomi etc but for some reason my Atomiswave games all I get is black screen when launching and I have to force power off.

Tried two PC’s.

Anyone else test/notice this?

Ive seen a few comments on yt where some are getting a black screen for Atomiswave and they have to force power off.

For most I think its working but not all of us.

OK a few more things on Atomiswave.

If using Flycast with opengl or vulkan and LR Flycast with vulkan games wont boot or take you back to game selection screen.

Only if you use LR Flycast with opengl it will black screen and freeze so you need to force power down.

Not sure why this happens to some people,not all.but some.

What rom pack are peps using for atomiswave? as mine says update roms to mame pack??? cheers

So for yabasanshiro running slow this is what we can do according to the github comments:

Extract the LR Yabasanshiro core from v35.

Place and overwrite the existing v36 one in directory.

Which is: /user/lib/libretro

Then go to apps in file manager,launch xterm,type: batocera-save-overlay

press enter,then alt+F4 to exit xterm.

This way it sticks when rebooting otherwise it will revert to previous core version.

Update on the Atomiswave issue.

Seems its happening on older Intels,not sure but if its happening to you then like me,you must be using the HUD.

You can disable that for Atomiswave only,just go into Atomiswave,advanced system options,select decorations and set heads up display to ‘none’.

Works for me.

Big thanks to Daniel on github for all the help,

I can not share same opinion over Batocera 36. While v 35 sometimes get stuck during boot (it is an USB HDD), I only get Batocera 36 boot up once. Second boot and any further boot get stuck in endless try to connect to “Touchegg daemon” while no Wi-Fi is set. AND I do not want Batocera to connect to any where during boot at all. I do not need and do not want that Touchegg feature. I also see “missing folders” / “folder not found” during boot on clean installed Batocera 36. Seems really buggy to me comparing to a “stable” 35 that at least boots successfully many times. I have set the needed boot options in BIOS / UEFI and fixed heavily failing to boot up for the v. 35. But v. 35 still stuck some times while v. 36 just boots on first boot successfully and gets stuck on second and any further boot.
