Solved 18.03.16 screen resolution problem.

[OyyoDams]

@alpermis thanks four your feedback and your support archive. I'm sure @Substring will take a look as soon as possible.

[Substring]

@alpermis beside what I've told you, you have a common thing with the other guy having the very same problem : your monitor just has DMT modes. That's a good lead

The log shows

[       44.50] configgen/videoMode.py(isSupported:68): The resolution for 'CEA 4 HDMI' is not supported by your monitor
[       44.53] configgen/videoMode.py(autoMode:115): auto mode -> CEA 4 HDMI not supported, fallback to default

@barto28 has the very same problem, but switching to auto mostly resolved the problem but for N64.

[alpermis]

@substring Exactly true. All but N64.

[Substring]

@alpermis Can you stay on auto mode, launch a N64 game, quit, and make a new support archive please ?

[Substring]

@alpermis hoh and remove system.es.videomode=auto it's buggy, but will be fixed

[alpermis]

I changed system.es.videomode=auto -> system.es.videomode=CEA 4 HDMI (as you asked)
Started a N64 game then I quit the game. Screen resolution turned bad. And here is the archive ;

Another thing might help; I use hdmi to dvi cable. So monitor is in dvi mode.

@alpermis ok, try this fix by running SSH commands:

mount -o remount, rw /
rm /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/utils/videoMode.pyc
wget -O /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/utils/videoMode.py https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox-configgen/raw/0769d875ca343ddffd19721e96595e92511470f2/configgen/utils/videoMode.py

No need to reboot, just start games from ES including N64
tell me if it fixed your problem

The same.

mount -o remount, rw /

rm /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/utils/videoMode.pyc

wget -O /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/utils/videoMode.py https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox-configgen/raw/0769d875ca343ddffd19721e96595e92511470f2/configgen/utils/videoMode.py

@alpermis ok, investigating

[Substring]

@alpermis new fix :

mount -o remount, rw /
rm /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/utils/videoMode.pyc
wget -O /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/utils/videoMode.py https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox-configgen/raw/0bc27e90248812a62f80de94810434acbf7ac418/configgen/utils/videoMode.py

the rm could fail, not a problem

[alpermis]

It seems fixed Thank you very much.
I noticed couple of other issues. Im gonna try to be sure about those and open other threds.

[Substring]

@alpermis great thank you for participating in the debugging

[ViRuS-MaN]

[rizzie]

Wow thank you. This issue has been resolved. It originated in dreamcast and n64.

[Substring]

@rizzie happened with systems having a forced resolution

I just wonder where's the path of that log file please? I'd like to see what's going on, on my Recalbox. Thanks.

[Substring]

@tekkenism ~/logs/recalbox.log, you can also see it from the webmanager

Perhaps I'll sound silly but I disabled Webmanager and that Media Player, for..ermm...saving a bit more RAM. Eh?
Anyway, I'll nano that log file from time to time. Recalbox is a stable thing, I really want to -contrinute- it to be rock-solid!
