@substring I figured out the N64 graphical glitching issue, the XU4 needs to have an polygon offset factor set for glide64mk2 to function properly.

I played around with it a bit and the following seems like the best settings:

If true, use polygon offset values specified below

force_polygon_offset = True

Specifies a scale factor that is used to create a variable depth offset for e$

polygon_offset_factor = -2

Is multiplied by an implementation-specific value to create a constant depth $

polygon_offset_units = -2

This XU4 is pretty sweet, it even runs Conkers Bad Fur Day with minimal slowdowns.

For the ScummVM issue as a last ditch effort I copied over the ScummVM executable from my Raspi3 (running 4.01 and replaced the version on the XU4 and surprisingly it worked! So there does appear to be something wrong with the version shipping on the 4.1 XU4 image (and the version on the 4.01 image is probably an older version as well I would suspect?).

@substring Yes, that launches just fine for me. I did notice that I had to go into the ScummVM GUI and force it to maintain the aspect ratio (by default it was stretching it). Also not a big deal but for some reason if you press any F keys on the attached keyboard you get a string of ^@^@^ at the top left of the screen..like the terminal background is showing through or something.

@rockaddicted @Substring Should apply to all games. I don't have a full list of games this fixes, but two notable games are Mario 64 and Zelda Ocarina of Time. I have tested a number of N64 games and have not found any adverse impact from this setting on the XU4, I cant speak to x86.

@Jul-S Glad it worked for you! I have not tried any Dreamcast games yet...

@substring Here is what I found in the es logs:

Es out: SDL_VIDEO_GL_DRIVER=/usr/lib/libGLESv2.so /usr/bin/scummvm --fullscreen --joystick=0 --screenshotspath=/recalbo$
Using joystick: Logitech Logitech Cordless RumblePad 2

Es Error: WARNING: SDL_SetVideoMode says we can't switch to that mode (Couldn't set console screen info)!

As far as n64 goes not sure about the config files, all I know is the glitches do not occur on the raspi using earlier 4.0 releases.

Thanks for the response!

@substring I took a couple videos of the issues, as well as pulled a couple log files. Hopefully this will help when you have time

This is a fresh install of 4.1 Stable on a Odroid Xu4

When logged into the console and I try to launch Scummvm via command line I see the following error: WARNING: SDL_SetVideoMode says we can't switch to that mode (Couldn't set console screen info)!

Thanks!

First of all thanks for the 4.1 release, it looks great, really like the new web management interface!

Having said that I am having some issues with it on my XU4:

ScummVM: Will not launch, after selecting a game the screen goes black for a second and then drops back to the game menu. Using the same game and shortcut that works just fine on my Raspi3 running 4.01. I have tried several games with the same result (I have No Mouth and Must Scream, Monkey Island, Etc).

N64: When running Super Mario 64 having graphical glitches. The game run great, full speed, however shadows are glitchy, and the colored sun mat in the castle entryway is barely visible. This is using the same copy of a rom that runs well on the Raspi3 mentioned above.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

I have an odd issue that after playing a n64 game and I exit back to the menu the controller turns off. I then have to turn it back on and reconnect. I am using a PS3 gamepad with a plugable brand Bluetooth adapter. I should note that this does not happen with any other emulator.

Also is there any known issues with the game sort feature? It does not seem to work for me. For example I can set it to order by last played, but when I exit the menu the sort order does not change, and returning to the menu show that the sort order option has changed back to the default alphabetical.

I am on the latest 4.0 beta 4. Also I see some mention of a 4.1 beta, is there a place to download this?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

@rockaddicted

Perfect, that did it! Just needed to change to a different core (went to fceumm).

Thanks!

@rockaddicted Thank you for the quick response!

I am looking at the Settings->Input screen and it does not seem to offer the same features as Quick Menu -> Controls. I do not see an option to "Save Core Remap File". I tried backing out and saving, but that did not seem to take effect after I exited and reloaded the game.

Thanks!

The option seems to be missing when running NES games, but I see it when running other emulators. Any clue how I might be able to fix this?

Thanks!
