GAMES NOT LAUNCHING!!!!!

[SSStarku]

SCREEN

PARTS

-Display:ILI9431 -Microcontroller: esp32s3 -SDcard: 64gb formated to FAT32 Config: default of the esp32s3devmodule + #define RG_GPIO_LCD_CS GPIO_NUM_14

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Installing the .img that i build in the esp32s3 2.formating sd card 64gb to FAT32 and installing some games
2. error message about the sd card in screen but pressing A
3. esp32s3 detecting the games and the sd card
4. Launching a game
5. seeing the last error message:
   • The crash log:crash.log.
   • The serial monitor:serialmonitor.txt

unexpected behaviour

-When I turn it on I get an error telling me thet the sd is not connected -The games do not start and the machine restarts. -I keep getting an error :[error] rg_surface_load_image: PNG decoding failed: 83

[SSStarku]

ok now some games launch but in somes i also have new error: crash.log this one is about the proom

Retro-Go requires PSRAM (external RAM) to work but it's not detected, that's what the error on your screenshot is telling you.

If your esp module doesn't have PSRAM then there's no way you will be able to run DOOM unfortunately. You might be able to run smaller ROMs in some of the emulators but most will likely not work, there's just not enough memory :(

[SSStarku]

What is the minimum I need? Isn't an 8PSRAM enough?

Connecting...
Detecting chip type... ESP32-S3
Chip is ESP32-S3 (QFN56) (revision v0.2)
Features: WiFi, BLE, Embedded PSRAM 8MB (AP_3v3)

[ducalex]

8MB is more than enough! Then I guess it means it isn't detected during boot. The detection is done by esp-idf before retro-go starts so this is more difficult for me to help you.

Can you share your retro-go/targets/<name>/sdkconfig file?

[SSStarku]

i have used the default Fri3D Camp 2024 sdkconfig because the hardware is the same

[ducalex]

You can increase logging level, replace the "Log output" section with this:

CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL_NONE=n
CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL_ERROR=n
CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL_WARN=n
CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL_INFO=y
CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL_DEBUG=n
CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL_VERBOSE=n
CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL=3
CONFIG_LOG_COLORS=y

You will need to run python rg_tool.py clean after any change to the sdkconfig.

Then run the new version and please share all serial output from the moment you power it on, there will hopefully be some messages about spiram/psram init failure...

Little late to the party, but I have a similar hardware setup (esp32S3 with 16MB flash, 8MB psram), and spent some time troubleshooting. For me (on esp-idf-5.1.1), I went into each application directory (retro-core, prboom-go, etc) and ran "idf.py menuconfig". From the first screen, scrolled on down to "Component Config" and again down to "esp psram". Enable support for spiram there. Also, for your device, it's probably octal, so make sure to mark that under spi ram config.

[SSStarku]

Thanks for the answers. : ) I'm trying to fix it but I have a problem, why does it appear that I don't have an SD connected but it does recognize it?

[pilesofspam]

Just comparing notes, the first SD card I used was a Sandisk Industrial microSD 16GB and it wasn't recognized. I didn't proceed to test any further. I switched to a full size 32GB Sandisk Ultra (both of these were formatted to fat32, identical directory structure) and it works fine, no other changes and no more warnings. For the card holder, I'm using hardware similar to yours, SD card holder mounted on the LCD board.

[SSStarku]

cna you share your sdkconfig and config file? Thank you so much
