Ctrl-F7 not resetting failed PET setup to C64 mode #210

Closed Digital-Monk closed 2 years ago

Digital-Monk commented 2 years ago

(Either stable 3.6 or beta 3.7 (I can't remember) on a Pi Zero)

While trying to get BMPET working, I've had an issue with the Ctrl-F7 reset. The failure screen and documentation state that I can "hold down Ctrl and F7 for 5 seconds and then release F7 to reset to C64 mode." I have tried this repeatedly, with two different keyboards, and been unable to make it work.

It is also unclear how to fix this issue manually. The documentation only gives the above instructions. Fallback instructions for directly modifying files on the SD card would be extremely helpful.

Also, the failure screen is in dark blue on black and very hard to read.

Thank you for all of the work on this project!

Y, I need to fix the text color on the failure screen. If you're in a jam, try removing the kernel= from the config.txt file on the sdcard. That should boot you back into C64. I'm not sure why the Cntrl-F7 reset isn't working. But I have not tested it in a while. I'll check it out.
