Another small update Changelog: Splash screen on boot - see /etc/systemd/system/splashscreen.service for details. Tested with HDMI and DPI displays To get the splash screen running fine w/o any interruption of messages, edit /boot/cmdline.txt (resp. /boot/firmware/config.txt) and add the following to the line logo.nologo consoleblank=0 loglevel=1 ...

Hey I ran the update script this morning and as expected it overwrote the images in the tty2rpi-pics directory. I had placed some custom graphics there (000-notavail.png and tty2rpi.png) because the new directory I created for these files ( tty2rpi-mypics ) does not get looked at by the program even though I have the line TTY2RPIPICS="${HOME}...

Sounds like an HDMI display is the most ideal for this project. I will have to keep exploring other options that I might be able to use in my boxes. Perhaps I can increase the height of the box to accommodate for the port + adapter to connect the display to the Pi. It depends imho. HDMI has the advantage that it "just works", DPI and DSI...

Small update Changelog: Search for filenames with at least three caracters, not two. This speeds up searching and lowers the risk of misinterpretation The INI variable KEEPASPECTRATIO is now undefined per default. The picture viewers feh/fim are now auto scaling a picture to screen's size. This speeds up displaying a picture a lot ! Setting KEEPAS...

Are there displays that connect via the GPIO pins that don't use the framebuffer? I have some space constraints in my cases that make it challenging to use the HDMI port on most displays. Not I'm aware off. Use a DPI or DSI display if HDMI isn't an option. They are assembled in the same way (plug'n'play). It looks like the DPI displays connect to ...

Thanks for looking into this. Hopefully there is a way to get it to work. I've got plenty of time to return it to Amazon if it isn't compatible. However, I ordered a similar non-touch display off AliExpress that I'll be stuck with either way. LOL! I don't need or really want the touch function. I just want the display to show the core/game artwork...

I'm still investigating but had no luck 'til now. This is what my "found" display is looking like. Not exact the same but I'm sure that is technically the same . yours.jpg And that seems to be the pity. Seems like these very cheap ones are using a XPT2046 and MPI3501 controller they warn against using them (have a look at the chapter belo...

Am I missing anything here? Hmm...no, everything is looking correct. You could enable max_framebuffers=2 again; don't know for what case it is or not. I have it still enabled for all displays. It is also correct that the screen turns black while booting. This indicates to me that the waveshare35a driver is loaded and initialized the display. Every...

I think I'm getting close. The last step I need to do according to config.txt.example is to "Enable fbcp-ili9341 in /home/tty2rpi/.bash_profile". I found the file in MC and went to edit it. There is only one line that is commented out. Do I just need to remove the hashtag on that line or is there something else that needs to be done? By ...

Even if it works now/later for your satisfaction, I'd be glad to hear that too

I updated tty2rpi on the RPi this morning using the update_tty2rpi.sh script. I noticed that it overwrote the custom graphics I had placed in the tty2rpi-pics folder. Is it possible to prevent that somehow or do I need to create a new folder and then change the path TTY2RPIPICS="New Folder" in the tty2rpi-user.ini file? Yes, just use the...

Bugfix update!

Documentation updated. I'd be glad if you could take a minute to have a look at it. I followed the sequence of commands below that were on the GitHub page for the fbcp-ili9341 driver. When I ran the make -j command there were a whole lot of errors that showed up. Should I be doing those last two steps or do I stop at the cmake... step in the proces...

Hi all. I've finally gone down the rabbit hole of setting up a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W so that I can use tty2rpi on a 3.5" 480x320 display. It has definitely been a bumpy road so far. I have Unifi network equipment and the WiFi chip on the Pi Zero seems to be a little picky about my setup. It is 2.4GHz only, so I had to place it on a VLAN I hav...

Stop boredom! New pictures for the new Exidy Universal Game Board v2 core:

RealLarry

New update!

Changelog:

For pure framebuffer devices we're using ffmpeg now instead of mplayer. This speeds up fps when playing a video including up/downscaling to the needed resolution and correct aspect ratio. mplayer is using only a single CPU core, ffmpeg is using "I'll take what I need and get"

RealLarry

New update! Changelog: Some small internal rewrites For Video playback you can use mpv or mplayer as an alternative An new INI parameter is VIDEOPLAYER="vlc" which can be set to VIDEOPLAYER="mpv" (or mplayer) tty2rpi-user.ini (RPi). VLC is great but looks like that it needs between 3 and 8 seconds before starts playing a video,...

New update!

Changelog:

Removed obsolete files

Updated documentation

Removed prebuilt Raspberry Pi image

Subfolder of a specific core is now correctly scanned

You can now setup your own clock and "picture not available" by setting TTY2RPIPICS in tty2rpi-user.ini (see tty2rpi.ini for details)

RealLarry

Does that mean that you have redefined PATHPIC (defaults to ~/marquee-pictures/) in ~/tty2rpi-user.ini (rpi)? Yes, but I assume your code still looks in the default ini for your artwork first ? Yes, but only for default settings. It is reading ~/tty2rpi.ini which contains all default settings/variables, then ~/tty2rpi-user.ini for user defined set...

RealLarry

No just show the tty2rpi logo until 1st game boot but I have got a second marquee folder with my art, your art is still in the default folder though. Also anyway to mute the ip address display on bootup as I don't need it after setup ? Many thanks. Does that mean that you have redefined PATHPIC (defaults to ~/marquee-pictures/) in ~/tty2rpi-user.i...

RealLarry

Thanks, is there anyway to have the Mister logo show on boot until the first game is loaded and if no art is found for the game ? The MiSTer logo should be shown after boot/return from a core, until next action. Isn't it? For the "picture not found" I could define an INI entry where one could set his own file instead of the static ~/tty2...

RealLarry

...and while we're talking about that I've found and fixed a stupid mistake I did, which is overwriting /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/wifi.nmconnection when updating. Maybe this is the culprit on your site.

The example file is now called wifi.nmconnection.example Removed! Is causing issues with NetworkManager.

Great addon, I have it working but have to use a network cable as I need to add my wifi settings. I have created the wlan.nmconnection file with my network settings and copied it to the directed location but just need to enter the "systemctl disable wpa_supplicant" How do you break out of tty2rpi to get the command prompt and enter/chang...

I have noticed that if I go into a core too soon after the MiSTer boots that the Uno has trouble pulling up the graphic for that console (and subsequently for each game I launch). Do you think that is an issue with the Uno or perhaps with MiSTer still undergoing some booting processes and failing to write the core name for your program to grab? It...
