[4.1-Unstable] Bug reports

[kelv]

I'm scraping from mamedb using recalbox 4.1 the mame folder using last version on a RPi3 and normally I'm getting an error message saying "Error saving resized image. Out of Memory. Disk Full?" .The thing is that the disk is not full and there is enough memory. However my question is: if I set up let user decide in conflict = false, why Am I prompted with a message? Is that expected? THX

[Substring]

@azvarel it's not supposed to use oss but ALSA

[azvarel]

@Substring I do not even know what else to do.
Awesome reicast not having audio, on my rpi3

[Substring]

@azvarel Start reicast, leave, then make a support archive through the web manager and give me the link please

@azvarel i don't get the output ... can you, by ssh :

• /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop
• python /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/emulatorlauncher.pyc -p1index 0 -p1guid 030000005e040000a102000000010000 -p1name "Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver" -p1nbaxes 4 -p1devicepath /dev/input/event0 -system dreamcast -rom /recalbox/share/roms/dreamcast/Daytona\ USA\ -\ DCRES.cdi -emulator default -core default -ratio auto

And make a pastebin of the output (reicast is quite talkative :/)

I'm having troubles with audio output in pc 64bits version of recalbox 4.1 unstable.
In desktop computer I tried with mini jack output and hdmi ... but the "menu options" shows volumen in 0% and I tried to change output but noone works ...

If I open console (ALT F4 and ctrl alt F2 or F3) I saw:
lvl0: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements!

That the only message that I can read about sound ...

[azvarel]

@Substring

After I put the command appeared this information and it has been 15min and so far it has not given any more.
['/usr/bin/reicast.elf', '/recalbox/share/roms/dreamcast/Daytona USA - DCRES.cdi']
Powering on HDMI with explicit settings (DMT mode 9)

@jackalpret the next unstable should allow to select the audio output

[Substring]

@azvarel it's definitely using ALSA. Except a volume set to 0% (check with alsamixer), i have no idea why this is happening

[azvarel]

@Substring

[Substring]

@azvarel no idea then

Is this problem on my television?

I went to see if she had compatibility with DMT

tvservice -m DMT

Group DMT has 19 modes:
           mode 4: 640x480 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:25MHz progressive
           mode 5: 640x480 @ 72Hz 4:3, clock:31MHz progressive
           mode 6: 640x480 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:31MHz progressive
           mode 9: 800x600 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:40MHz progressive
           mode 10: 800x600 @ 72Hz 4:3, clock:50MHz progressive
           mode 11: 800x600 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:49MHz progressive
           mode 16: 1024x768 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:65MHz progressive
           mode 17: 1024x768 @ 70Hz 4:3, clock:75MHz progressive
           mode 18: 1024x768 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:78MHz progressive
           mode 21: 1152x864 @ 75Hz 4:3, clock:108MHz progressive
           mode 28: 1280x800 @ 60Hz 16:10, clock:83MHz progressive
           mode 32: 1280x960 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:108MHz progressive
           mode 35: 1280x1024 @ 60Hz 5:4, clock:108MHz progressive
           mode 36: 1280x1024 @ 75Hz 5:4, clock:135MHz progressive
           mode 39: 1360x768 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:85MHz progressive
           mode 47: 1440x900 @ 60Hz 16:10, clock:106MHz progressive
           mode 48: 1440x900 @ 75Hz 16:10, clock:136MHz progressive
           mode 51: 1600x1200 @ 60Hz 4:3, clock:162MHz progressive
           mode 58: 1680x1050 @ 60Hz 16:10, clock:146MHz progressive

in recalbox.conf is:

## Dreamcast emulator
## Like N64, such a CPU intensive emulator needs a small resolution
## Consider DMT 4 HDMI or DMT 9 HDMI. Mode 9 is selected for a better screen compatibility
dreamcast.videomode=DMT 9 HDMI

replaces in dreamcast.videomode=DMT 9 HDMI with dreamcast.videomode=default

reicast opens in CEA, in 4: 3 and with sound, however with many freezes in the games and choking in the sound

The gameplay was disgusting

This is Satan's thing, disrupting my gambling.

Did I have any idea, @Substring ?

[Substring]

@azvarel setting to default makes you run reicast at 720p, which will be of course a pain for the pi cpu and gpu. That's why we force a lower resolution. You could eventually try DMT 4

anyway, don't expect too much from reicast on a pi3, there are only very few games that will give a good gaming experience. Not only the emulation is hard, but the overall compatibility is not so good.

[azvarel]

I put it on DMT 4 and also the sound did not work, so I put it on DMT 10 and to my surprise it worked perfectly the gameplay of Ikaruga and Marvel vs Capcom 2 is fine

The odd thing is it's running at 72Mhz well instead of 60Mhz, though this my samsung tv is old for over 10 years, I believe this is it.

Thank you for your patience and dedication, @Substring.

thats a very good notice ! thanks and thanks !

[Substring]

@jackalpret though you may need to manually set the sound volume in àlsamixer`because i never ever could find a way to link an audio device with its mixer(s) (and on PC, that's even worse : a device can have several mixers, what a pain)

but I tried to change in menu of ES ... but nothing happend.
Did You tellme that I need to enter via ssh and try to change output with alsamixer ? I can test it ...

[Substring]

@jackalpret yup : SSH > alsamixer (sadly ...). That would just show you which audio output is active, you definitely some changes inside recalbox to make this "saved" and survive after reboot (this, at least, will come the the audio output selection)
