4.1 Text No Longer Displays and Console Order Wrong

[voljega]

@substring is it dynamically generated in share_init and still overwritable in share ?

[Substring]

@voljega not dynamically in share_init, but in share. But we only updated the default RA config files, not the user ones

@substring if thats the new order for emulators then yeah i can live with it. Shame though as I liked the manufacturer grouping before.

Regarding the yellow boxes though... I'm not running any custom config files. I don't even know where I'd find them!? It just started displaying yellow boxes after I upgraded.

Did I read somewhere that after updating it keeps old config somewhere alongside new config and I have to manually delete old ones and rename new ones? Or did I imagine that? Lol.

[Substring]

@n0signal The config file that is saved is only the recalbox.conf

In your case, the file that needs editing can be reached through network at \\recalbox\system\configs\retroarch, the retroarchcustom.cfg and retroarchcustom.cfg.origin

[voljega]

@substring oh ok so basically there's no way anymore to use a custom es_systems.cfg ? or you have to modify the on in share_init which will erase the one in share on boot ?

[Substring]

@voljega we've never recommended editing the es_systems.cfg because of upgrades ... But you can do as before, of course

[voljega]

@substring I know but some of use like to do that

[Substring]

@voljega I wonder why

[n0signal]

@substring thanks, what do I do when I find those config? Delete them?

[Substring]

@n0signal if you're feeling almighty and invincible, rename that retroarch folder, reboot and report

[n0signal]

@substring I tried using the 4.1 unstable fix but that didn't work. So I tried renaming the custom config file as you suggested and voila! I have text again... and even better than before as it's not pixellated! Thanks for your help!! You can mark this one as solved. ^_^

[Substring]

@n0signal have you updated from an unstable 4.1 ?

[el_vagabundo]

I just deleted the retroarch config file and got the Issue fixed immediatly. Did it with WinSCP. 4.1 is awesome by the way.

[n0signal]

@substring no I updated from a stable 4.0.2 and hadn't ever gone near that config file. Very odd. Glad the fix was easy.

[el_vagabundo]

I once chanced something in the Retroarch menu. Nothing special. But that must have made the issue.

[n0signal]

@el_vagabundo ah yeah I'm always fiddling in the retroarch menu once I have games running. Lol. Before 4.1 it was the only way to force 8/7 on SNES games! Maybe that did something.

[Substring]

@n0signal you can change the ratio in the ES menu, or even in the recalbox.conf

[n0signal]

@substring yeah don't worry all sorted now thanks.

@Substring , So renaming the folder will do the trick here? Or is there some editing needed on the files itself?

[Substring]

@retrowilly the upgrade process is supposed to have added the required values, so I don't understand what gfailed here, i need upgrade logs

anyway, when renaming the folder, Recalbox will recreate it with default values. the right ones
