Solved Yellow writing when loading ROM...

[xtreemsurf]

I remapped the buttons for NES, which worked great! After remapping, I would see yellow writing at the bottom of the screen when loading a ROM. Ok. I later switched the buttons back to default for a different controller, yet the yellow writing still shows up at the bottom of the screen when loading a ROM.

I know it's not a big deal, but I'm just wondering if there is a way to disable the yellow writing at the bottom of the screen permenantly...or...if there is a way to clear and button remaps out of the system, so it goes back to default and doesn't show the yellow writing at he bottom.

Thanks for any advice!

I ... just ... do not understand a single thing about what you're talking lol

what do you mean "yeallow writing at the bottom" ?

@Substring

This is the yellow writing at the bottom of the screen that says things like, save state, load state, etc. After saving button remaps, I see 0000000000 in yellow writing when I load a ROM.

@xtreemsurf I guess you're seeing some squares and you're running recalbox 4.1 ?

Yes, that's correct. I was getting the yellow writing before 4.1, too...only after changing the button mapping though.

@xtreemsurf This bug was solved long ago, please update your recalbox

Thanks for the quick response! I'll try the update! The last time I tried to update, it ended with an error message. If that happens again, is there a way to download the update on my computer and copy it to the Pi? Thanks for all your help!

@xtreemsurf updates on 4.1 require many more files for integrity checking ...updates shouldn't fail, despite for a while we had some problems with the update mirrors

[xtreemsurf]

@Substring

I'll give the update another try tonight...

Will this remove the yellow writing at the bottom of the screen, or just fix it so the string of squares doesn't show up?

I also have this problem on 4.1 (04/27/17) , I see many yellow rectangle at the bottom of the screen when playing.
like this [] [][][][][][] []
Probably something I have change by mistake in retroarch but don't know what.

@Choum as mentioned before... just update your recalbox.

I was already using the lastest version (update this morning)
deleting the retroarchcustom.cfg fix the problem.
Now text from retroarch like Fps counter work again.

[Substring]

@Choum there was a new update yesterday

[Choum]

I just reinstall my recalbox RPI3 (4.01 -> 4.02 -> 4.1).
And the problem came back from a stock install (I only upload roms and change wifi / retroachievement login).
deleting the retroarchcustom.cfg do nothing this time.
If I want to show FPS, I only see [][][], same for retroachievement text ingame.
I already have the last update from "yesterday".

[Substring]

@Choum delete the whole retroarch folder on top of the retroarch.cfg, reboot, try again

[Choum]

Thanks, it fix the problem.
I noticed by doing that (delete retroach folder and reboot), that the menu is now different, I was having a blue "modern" menu and now I have a basic one (I prefer this one), don't know if this is normal.

If you see yellow squares at the bottom then this means that Retroarch isn't loading a font.

You likely don't need to delete anything, just navigate to your Retroarch Config here: /recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/retroarchcustom.cfg

Then add this line to the Config: video_font_path = /storage/assets/xmb/retroactive/font.ttf
