[RELEASE] Zodian - 1080 + Music

[maximus37]

@azvarel Thanks!

Do you mean for missed systems ?

[azvarel]

@maximus37 Above 5 systems the ES is broken so I did not do it in 1080p

[makination]

Anybody tested it? The system crashes or not?

[rockaddicted]

It is not a problem with this theme specifically, but all themes using 1 background image with a HD resolution by system in ES.
Vram is filled with less that 10 systems activated, and ES crash during boot (white screen of death - WOSD).

[azvarel]

I tested it, I had a lot of headaches thinking it was my tv problem

@azvarel said in Problem with TV Samsung 40":

I found out why the recalbox is catching on TV, at 1080p resolution, it was the zoid theme that was messing with the recalbox.

I put the default recalbox theme and it is working normally.

---

The issue is that the zoid theme used a file with resolution 1920x1080, in .jpg and by proper attempt, because I did not find anything referring to WSOD at the time, I did compiling .png from the backgrounds and only then realized that the calculation that ES made was Based on resolution rather than file size.

[maximus37]

Hmmm, I will try it again soon enough, I didn't crash on startup, but I'll cycle through all my systems and then load a few games, do some back and forth.

[azvarel]

Tell me what your tv resolution, let's do some experiments

[maximus37]

@azvarel I'm on a 1080p tv, I'll let you know what I get as a result.

Btw, if the 1080 images do cause a problem (which I'm assuming they will), what about 720 resolution, is that still too high?

[azvarel]

1080p: about 10
720p: about 20
480p: about 40/45
Once vram filled, you'll have a WSOD (White Screen Of Death) in ES

[maximus37]

@azvarel Wow! that's something I definitely wasn't aware of.

Thanks for the info!

[azvarel]

That's why I did it in 576p

[maximus37]

@azvarel : Ok, here is my setup:

RPi2 with 16 systems. Recalbox installed on an SD card with everything else on my usb key (roms, themes, etc.)

I cycled through all my systems back and forth, then cycled through all the detail screens and then back to the system screens. So far I was unable to crash ES.

But I'll keep trying.... my setup is still a work in progress, thats why I only have 16 systems.

So now I'm wondering....does it have to do with the RESOLUTION of the images, or the FILE SIZES that causes the crash? Hmmmm.....

[Nainain]

Merci!
J'adore ce thème, clair et épuré!

RESOLUTION OF THE IMAGES

[RetroWilly]

Nice theme!

About the WSOD. This is the reason i keep background images in my themes on 480p for now , since i want to keep it as stable as possible. One of the mod's pointed me on that on time.

Cropping images for now it is.

[summunx]

tengo este error , alguna solucion?

[makination]

I don't understand yet if i install this theme my system will crash. I've got 17 systems on Recalbox right now, will i get WSOD if i install this?

What to do if WSOD? The only solution is format sd card and reinstall all?

Thanks!

SSH connection, then edit your /recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg and rolling back on recalbox theme -> <string name="ThemeSet" value="recalbox" />

[maximus37]

@makination If you crash follow @rockaddicted way of resetting your theme back. I've got 16 systems and no crash so far. @azvarel has many more and when he has time he said he will test it and confirm that it does indeed crash on many more systems.
