Pocket Rastan Core Black Screen #550

Closed bebopjp closed 8 months ago

bebopjp commented 8 months ago

Freshly formatted an SD card.

Used Matt Panella's pupdate script to "Update All".

Rastan core loads ROM but is either a black screen or some static trash.

Not sure if it is a pupdate bug or a core bug.

All other JT cores work great.

I am having the same issue with this game. The last time it worked for me, I was on Analogue Pocket firmware 2.0 and used the previous version of Panella auto updater. Then I updated the firmware to 2.1 and used the newer pupdate.exe and the problem began... but just to test things further, I re-formatted the SD card and did a clean build using Pocket Sync and installed one core at a time and tried Rastan out again... same issue (either a black screen, or some green static.) So it is not isolated to using pupdate. But both updaters could be pulling the file from the same archive. Anyhow, I also get intermittent issues with Outrun, but others have already reported that issue.

Out Run is a different case because it is the only core that use the cell RAM in the Pocket. It is not related to this.

I have just tested today's version and it works fine. I do not use updaters. I think this is probably related to the updaters generating wrong .rom files. What they do about that is beyond me. You can generate the file manually yourself following these instructions.

@jotego The weird part is that the ROMs from the Pocket updater archive matches your md5 sums:

@countmattula @bebopjp actually I just did a full delete of the jtrastan core then installed it again (so everything relating to the core from Assets, Cores, Settings, Presets & Saves) and its now working.

If you use pupdate it can do this fresh install for you, eg: pupdate update -r -c jotego.jtrastan

I just tried this on my lunch break, and Dave's suggestion worked. Deleting all the related folders (with contents) and then re-installing got Rastan to work again. thanks so much for your help. And Jotego, thank you for making so many amazing cores for the Analogue Pocket. cheers!

I'm glad it worked in the end!
