@abilaunken altough i have a small idea of what could be wrong, this hasn't changed for months ...
What.s your screen ?

What u mean when u ask me about "screen" ?
What make me mad is the fact that anyone here doenst report this bad behavier, i always look about the update before in fact update.
What i read was about the select button and the coin in arcades, but was fix in this release. Something about the n64 blackscreen, but the problem about blackscreen its something more.
Do u know if its possible to downgrade?
This 18.07.13 should not be in the stable updates, at max on the instable, but for me it should have been more work on it.

Im not a linux expert, but i suspect the problem is on some ".sh" scripts, in the launch of the retroarch core and contets line from the EmuStation.
The proof is that i can open and play content of fba that is not loading properly directly from Emustation resulting blackscreen, when i open inside the retroarch.

@abilaunken if no one reported the problem (well, a few did), it's because it's not happening to most people.

If i ask you details about your screen, is that I suspect that the delay added after resolution change could be too short. That's somethibg we had to deal with about a year ago with a pi firmware change

Humm the change in resolutions humm... i use a samsung model 6 not the best for games, i set my hdmi for pc to get the best of input lag i can get, its somewhere between 40 and 50 ms lag.
But i think input lag has nothing to do in the change of resolutions.
So you suspect that when i set some shader in the ES when i launch a game i get more milliseconds to open a game or get a extra pass thats why i got some games to launch properly. Hum make sence...
Do you know a way that i can put a thered sleep of 100ms or something to test?

Sub i now managed to fix all the blackscreen in all cores and was a simple fix.

In the recalbox.conf just comment this line with a "#" :

Set gpslp shader for all emulators (prefer shadersets above). Absolute path (string)

#global.shaders= one

I mess with resolution like u tell but nothing fix the problem, so a left global.shaderset=none , thats cause blackscreen in almost all cores, but when i set global.shaders= with absolute path all cores work perfect.

But i cant do that becouse the compatibility issues with some cores like psx that get slows down, so u just need to comment this line and without no shaders no more bug.

=(
Forget it, its works until i reboot... something reallly messed up and change behavier when mess with shaders.
Its a lost of time trying to discover a work around, just wait another release.
Put retro or scanline load some core and content and be happy to play cps1 this way for now.

@abilaunken yoi can exchange global with a system name like nes.shaderset

nes.shaderset

I tryed the tag "nes.shaderset" but does nothing, when i put global.shaders=/recalbox/share_init/shaders/crt-caligari.glslp all core works ok, but psx geting really low speed.
If i discover a way to make him exclusive whitout a shader, maybe override the core whith no shader is possible but i dont know it can override a empty shader.

@substring
Tried override core but doesnt override shaders, but if i dont put any shader i get blackscreen on psx anyway damed!
I found another bug, final burn alpha now has only (fba2x) core ? Thats why i can only play some games loading content after playing a neogeo game.
The fix is to move to fba_libretro folder, but i dont know it will get fix on the next releases or its right and fba should only have fba2x and libetro has fba core.
Anyway, cant play almost nothing if a dont put the scaline or retro shader.
If no shader blackscreen with the game runing with sound in background.
Lost bluetooth battery indicator too, before update it worked and i liked.

[Substring]

@abilaunken fba and fba2x have always been 2 different systems as their romset are totally différent

[Abilaunken]

@substring yeap, im saying the folder fba once work with other core before and now only with fba2x.

[Substring]

@abilaunken this was a mistake

@Substring
J'ai vu que la version 18.07.13 a un driver hi_dr.ko dragonrise différent, mais avec les erreurs connus de définitions de l'axe verticale du joystick. Si quelqu'un a un problème faudra le remplacer par cette version

[Substring]

@dragu le problème c'est que je n'ai aucun code source valable pour ce correctif
