boot at blank black screen, Batocera.PLUS-2.26-beta, Nvidia Geforce G 105m (340xx driver)

Open jimakujima opened this issue 1 year ago • 7 comments

Tried to run batocera.plus 2.26-beta, activate the "nvidia-driver=340" (as my laptop's GPU is geforce g 105m), my laptop is legacy (BIOS/MBR). Succesfully write the image using win32imagewriter in windows 7 SP1 64-bit.

Booted to the setup process succesfully, after a console with "Batocera.PLUS+++..." it just showing a black screen, nothing seems to be functioning. Is there something wrong with the steps I took ?

tried it, nothing change. another suggestion ?

or do you know if batocera.plus have a file where i can read some log when it's booting so at least where it went wrong ?

i really need this emulator to work because batocera.plus is the emulator i knew that included the 340 nvidia driver in it.

So, today i've managed to boot to the batocera.plus by selecting the "nvidia-driver=false" (tried using 340 (also auto, 470 and 390) for my geforce G 105m, but these option keeps me at the blank screen at boot).

edit the "MENU SHIFTKEY" to "MENU HIDDEN" (to show the batocera's boot option (normal or verbose)) in boot/syslinyx/syslinux.cfg

edit the boot entry (press tab) of the verbose boot option and add "nomodeset" at the end of the boot entries. and it booted successfully with all the function such as network, audio, etc.

from the batocera's xterm i use the "lspci" command and it listed my vga under geforce g 98m (105m). But batocera's system information didn't show my vga, only "OpenGL 4.5..."

been looking for some way to get to know if batocera knew/read/recognize my geforce g 105m at its system to be able to use it properly. for now i'm gonna test play some game that require a vga for the game's performance if everything went well or not.

gonna give some update just in case if some people are facing the same problem like me now or in the future.

thanks for the support btw

with this command you can verify the nvidia card:

batocera-hybrid-nvidia
