Stability problem pulstar 9.0.2 ?

[alienstorm]

Hello, I have a problem of instability since I switched to recalbox 9 pulstar.

Previously I was in recalbox 8...everything was stable, no crashes.
I went to 9. I realized that while browsing the game lists that the screen went black randomly and I always had to do a hard reset to restart the machine in this situation.

My config is a very simple and perfectly functional Lenovo i5 PC, with XinMotec USB joystick encoders which were well supported in v8.

I have incriminated all my configuration:

• my hard disk (I tried with several)
• my USB ports;
• what the scraper can recover;
• gamelist.xml files;
• some roms;
• my Xinmotec encoders that I changed;
• I tried with 3do SN30 joysticks;
  Seeing v9.0.2 arrive, I updated and redid all my tests by isolating each parameter but I did not find an answer to this problem.

I set up a new config separately with another PC (MinisForum i5)...I started from scratch and put everything back together from A to Z in pulstar 9.0.2.

There is nothing in common with my two configurations except "Recalbox pulstar 9.0.2" of course.

However, I confirm that there is a real instability in this version 9 which, when browsing the lists of games on the screen, causes the system to crash and forces a hardware reset.

It seems random, it's never at the same place of the list of games... I don't understand.

Any idea?

Hello everyone,
After many tests, I finally found why my recalbox crashed randomly.

I bring a self-response in the hope that it may be useful to someone one day.

I wanted that by listing the games in the emulationstation interface, the demo video of each game would be displayed without delay. By default, this parameter is set to 2000ms and can be found in the file /share/system/recalbox.conf in the "Videosnaps" section. I had set this value to 0 and that is precisely what made my interface unstable. By positioning it at a low value like 50ms, I get the desired effect, ie an almost instantaneous start of the video playback but without the random crash.

Videosnaps

Delay before videosnaps start, in milliseconds. Default: 2s

emulationstation.videosnaps.delay=50
