No ideas anyone? I guess in the meantime I'll just have to turn off pixel perfect whenever I play PC Engine. /shrug

Make sure you have your gamepad set as input 1 (player 1), as I used to have this problem with some games when I just left everything to default.

@substring yeah don't worry all sorted now thanks.

@el_vagabundo ah yeah I'm always fiddling in the retroarch menu once I have games running. Lol. Before 4.1 it was the only way to force 8/7 on SNES games! Maybe that did something.

@substring no I updated from a stable 4.0.2 and hadn't ever gone near that config file. Very odd. Glad the fix was easy.

@substring I tried using the 4.1 unstable fix but that didn't work. So I tried renaming the custom config file as you suggested and voila! I have text again... and even better than before as it's not pixellated! Thanks for your help!! You can mark this one as solved. ^_^

@substring thanks, what do I do when I find those config? Delete them?

Since the 4.1 update I'm LOVING that I can put "Square Pixels" as an aspect ratio and with "pixel perfect" integer scaling enabled I easily get true 8/7 razor sharp pixels on SNES and NES as well as Megadrive and Mega CD stuff looking fine as they always have.

However, with these settings and PC Engine system game now displays in a tiny box on screen. It's almost as if rather than an integer scaler the "pixel perfect" is literally just displaying native resolution! I can solve this by turning off integer scaling and leaving it on square pixels but it's not as sharp as I'd like.

@substring if thats the new order for emulators then yeah i can live with it. Shame though as I liked the manufacturer grouping before.

Regarding the yellow boxes though... I'm not running any custom config files. I don't even know where I'd find them!? It just started displaying yellow boxes after I upgraded.

Did I read somewhere that after updating it keeps old config somewhere alongside new config and I have to manually delete old ones and rename new ones? Or did I imagine that? Lol.

First off, I really appreciate the quality of life features that have gone into 4.1, they're great thanks!

However, since upgrading this evening I can now no longer see any text at the bottom of the screen; it just displays as a series of blank yellow squares. This affects all normal hotkey shortcuts like save states (I no longer know which save state I'm using) as well as things like retroachievements.

Also, the order consoles are displayed in has changed. Before, all my Nintendo consoles were together (SNES, NES, FDS, N64) then Sega (Megadrive, MegaCd, 32x, Master System, SG1000), then PC Engine, etc. Now they're all jumbled up!

Are these bugs that need fixing or have I got a corrupted OS or some settings wrong somewhere?
