[fr4nc3sc0]

Hello my retrogamers Affectionatos,

my recalbox is a
-Retroflag GPI Case 2w
-Raspberry Pi zero 2w
-Recalbox 9.1

My problem is that after playing few games a screen glitch appears, the screen shift to the right

The worst thing is that somethimes the screem freezes also and I have to reboot

I did I clean install using the official image
https://www.recalbox.com/it/download/stable/rpi/rpizero2gpicase2w/

The only customizzations were

• Language (IT)
  -Theme Realbox-240p
  -Enable Arcade to see only one group for mame and neogeo roms

I already did a re-install flasing my ssd

Francesco ho una serie di problemi pure io con lo stesso hardware, questo forum è completamente inutile, non trovo risposte a nessuna delle mie domande...bah

@fr4nc3sc0 I'm also learning about this issue! Is it a broken screen?

[Pitch64]

Hello, this is a known issue without any real way to fix it right now. Try to use the provided theme recalbox-goa2.

Nothing is broken, it's sort of incompability without any reason.

@Pitch64 could you be more specific.

What is incompatible with what in this particular case ?

I am also impacted with this issue.

Thanks

@Pitch64 Im having the same issue. Offset screen, freezing screen and needing to reset. It also affects other themes too.

[Pitch64]

All I can say for now is we are working on it

@warpedpipe Hi, I'm having the same problem too but isn't there a solution to solve this problem? I have a Gpi case2w

Salut @Aldébaran

Pas besoin, c'est un problème qui se retrouve sur un tas d'autres distribs.
La fondation et les gens qui gèrent la stack graphique sont au courant.

Par contre, je ne vous cache pas qu'il y a peu de chance qu'on ait un fix à ce problème...

[Pitch64]

Si on a un fix à cette issue, ça sera bien un miracle...

[Aldébaran]

Recalbox étant dépendant de la bonne volonté de la fondation Raspberry pour la résolution de cette issue, et puisque vous semblez peu optimistes quant à sa résolution, pouvez-vous exceptionnellement fournir la version 9.1 de l'image GPi CASE 2W + Pi Zero 2w ?

Ce problème était aussi présent sur la 9.1 mais il se manifestait beaucoup moins fréquemment. Là, c'est vraiment gênant.

I had this problem from day 1 on installing Recalbox 9.1 on my GPI case 2W.
I now have upgraded to 9.2 but still the same problem persists.
I also ordered a new screen and replaced it, but sufferes from the same issue. So it is a software timing issue of some sort that needs to be looked into.
Maybe it is related to the hdmi_timings? Can anyone point out if there is any kind of delay or something that can be changed there?

For me, this issue occurs only when exiting an emulator (i.e. gameboy advanced) and returning to the main screen.
To make the screen go normal again, I need to fully shut down the unit. Restart fixes the screen, but makes all the controls not working, so only a full shut down fixes it.

I tried this theme, seems that the glitch it not there anymore, but the theme is too simple, no game info or images. Can you make another theme to include the game details and images?

@SilverGreen93

Recalbox is open-source, feel free

[SilverGreen93]

@Magaki I really want to, but have no idea about what is the issue here. The only thing I want to find out is if it is a timing issue related to hdmi_timings.

[Pitch64]

The issue is https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/5780

[davidb2111]

Geatings all!

We have a working workaround that will be made available in the fore-coming 9.2.2.

David.
