Hello I'm trying to run this and I get this error:

If it helps, this is system information for the esp32 chip:

I've tried it on 2 different esp32 dev boards but same result each time.

Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

thanks

Sorry I only just saw in the source code that I need to "ESP32 Sketch Data Upload" first.

Still not working yet, but please disregard first error in this thread. Onto solving the next5 issue.

bootrino commented 4 years ago

OK so progress made, and some feedback.

It appears that the documentation on the readme page says pin 25 in the schematic but the source code says pin 26.

A suggestion, if there was a a quick start guide that said:

1: Start by doing "esp32 sketch data upload", which uploads needed data to the esp32 built in flash. 2: Check the pin number in src/video_out.h - it must be either pin 25 or pin 26 3: The video cable is the centre pin of the yellow connection on an RCA composite cable - connect this to pin 25 (or pin 26) on the esp32. 4: Connect the outer shield on the yellow cable to one of the ground pins on the esp32

This will get the video displaying.

I managed to get a good clear and stable NTSC signal. I could not however get a stable PAL signal.

I've put a video here showing - sorry its rather long winded. The upshot of it though is that NTSC worked on both TV's and PAL didn't seem to lock in cleanly - on one TV the signal was rolling and on the other TV the signal was stable but did not look right - with lines and a corrupted border.

Here is the YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtlMDrhE50c

Further update - maybe not worth worrying about my PAL issues - I have tried bitluni's composite video on exactly the same hardware and it's janky too - it's not rolling, but it is jumping and tearing a bit. So the problem is possibly my plug and cable setup - somehow the NTSC is OK with that but the PAL doesn't like it. I'll see if somehow I can get a cleaner composite video plug and cable setup and that might clear up the PAL issues.

A question: what sort of PAL TV did you try it on? There might be a clue in there.

Here's images of PAL:

Thanks, I found this thread by googling the same error message.

I received this message using the ESP32 Development Board when using the default #define EMULATOR EMU_ATARI value. I changed it to #define EMULATOR EMU_NES and that worked. Something seems "wrong"/incompatible by default with the Atari emulator and this board, but at least the NES emulator does boot up.

Second point: you mention pin 25 vs. 26, but interestingly enough, that line #define VIDEO_PIN 26 (here) is a red herring -- there is no use of VIDEO_PIN anywhere in the code. The video is rather setup on pin 25 as that pin is the DAC output pin. See here in the code, and this pinout which shows physical pin 14 being GPIO25 and the DAC_1 pin as well. Oof! :-)

For anyone reading/debugging this, what worked for my CRT monitor was the default setting: pin 25 for the video signal and any ground pin on the board. Cheers!

Please can anybody help? I am trying to make CORNN64 project with microSDcard (setting PAL, EMU_ATARI). Without connecting MicroSDcard adapter I can compile and upload everything successfully, it works. But if I connect MicroSD card module with card and enable it in the code, uploading of code ends with "MALLOC32 FAILED allocation of MEMORY_mem:65540" error and rebooting. Older libraries in Arduino IDE or older ArduinoIDE don´t help. I have read, the problem is concerning esp_heap_caps.h or multi_heap.h libraries and bad allocation of memory, but I don´t know how to fix it. By the way, I cannot find sources (.c) of these libraries in ArduinoIDE to edit. Where are these sources? Headers (.h) are present but sources not. Thanks.

as i am playing with this project also, it is everything mostly around memory :) if you dont use buetooth then comment out hid* functions in main.cpp, you will save memory and you will pass to next level of this game :)))
