Hello

Playing Zelda Ocarina of time 1.1 USA versión in the latest version of Recalbox overclocked 1345 using RICE and I've been hours and hours and hours playing with no bugs or issues GREAT!!!

BTW, I always wanted to play this game and I may say is the best game I've ever played. No matter any xbox one 360 or whatever game. This is the foundation of every 3D rpg game.

Youo can check the solution here https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/7481/yellow-writing-when-loading-rom/16

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

hello @rockaddicted

• Concerning the video volume. Yes I'm a computer Science engineer and i used to a developer. Per your suggestion, I downloaded the source code from git and I was doing reverse engineering. I see that the logic lives in S02Splash located at etc/init.d. I see that there is no volume switch either omxplayer nor ffplay. Adding the switch " --vol -yourvalue" to the line omx_opt="--adev both --no-keys --layer=10000 --aspect-mode=fill" will help to increase or reduce the volume (that's for rpis for other systems it's in another code block as it uses ffplay and the switch has to be -volume) . A new menu item in ES could be developed to read that switch and modify it.

• Concerning the video. I'm quite surprised about the answer (btw I didn't want to be mean) However Recalbox project enables and leverages the community to modify the theme but it seems that doesn't enable us to modify the video. I'm sorry but I don't understand.

• Concerning avoid deleting the video. Checking how recalbox deploys when it is installed or updated, it's needed a script to avoid smashing custom videos for checking the video size and date and if it's different than the default one, do not smash it.

• BTW If I want to contribute to the project, how can I do it? My Cpp knowledge is quite rusty and I'm better C# and Java developer. I also see that there is a lot of Python that I have no knowledge but I can learn.

BTW, This is the code snippet of the file.

#code snippet code
do_omx_start ()
{
# odroid xu4 has not omxplayer, make it run this code make it flash
if [[ ! -f $video || ! -f /usr/bin/omxplayer ]]; then
return
fi

# Initialize dbus session

OMXPLAYER_DBUS_ADDR="/tmp/omxplayerdbus.root"
OMXPLAYER_DBUS_PID="/tmp/omxplayerdbus.root.pid"
exec 5> "$OMXPLAYER_DBUS_ADDR"
exec 6> "$OMXPLAYER_DBUS_PID"
dbus-daemon --fork --print-address 5 --print-pid 6 --session
until [ -s "$OMXPLAYER_DBUS_ADDR" ]; do
    echo "waiting for dbus address to appear" >&2
    sleep .2
done
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=`cat $OMXPLAYER_DBUS_ADDR`
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=`cat $OMXPLAYER_DBUS_PID`
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS

# Launch the video

Did you try to disable the rewind setting? I had issues with some PCENGINE-CD because it was enabled. They were not running for ex Ginga Fukai @bichi

@martymcfly7 it's an awesome new!!! It's working only for rpi 0-3. I hope recalbox team can compile and use it in the distro.

@azvarel THX SO MUCH. The issue was because of the rewind setting.... AFter disabling it, it worked. I can't believe it.

@Shuu second option worked for me.
