Are you talking of Out Run? I do get the cars and the signs. But I think that issue may happen occasionally. Try powering off and on completely the Pocket. Let me know if you find some pattern to it. I am not able to replicate this problem at the moment.

all roms in the OUTRUN Core, I updated today and just get road, in all roms inc Turbo Outrun. didnt backup previous version. is there a way to install previous version? version installed INTERNAL 2024-01-26

NeilGSPGUK avatar Jan 26 '24 22:01 NeilGSPGUK

Old versions are kept in JTBIN.

This could be a timing issue related to some RAM modules in the Pocket. Would you be willing to test some core versions compiled with different timing to test this hypothesis?

jotego avatar Jan 27 '24 17:01 jotego

Yes no problem. Just let me know what I can do to help

NeilGSPGUK avatar Jan 27 '24 17:01 NeilGSPGUK

@jotego FYI rolled back to the version 15.0 2023-11-24 and Sprites are all present.

NeilGSPGUK avatar Feb 02 '24 13:02 NeilGSPGUK

FYI I just updated, and the new version 659baa4 2024-02-02 again has the missing sprites @jotego .

NeilGSPGUK avatar Feb 06 '24 13:02 NeilGSPGUK

As requested from Discord, I'm having the same issue , no graphics on outrun or turbo outrun, (big al) from discord, I can do any test for you @jotego .

@jotego After updating with jtfriday_240209_pocket the game appears to be working as it should, will report back if any update.

Dawbo66 avatar Feb 10 '24 11:02 Dawbo66

There was no relevant change justifying a magical fix here in the last release. There is either a sensitivity to the clock phase in the external memory interface or a combinational logic glitch somewhere. Making this feature unstable for some users.

Confirm the latest released fixed it for me too

They seem to be gone again in the March 1 update.

I've tried starting Outrun several times on the Pocket and all seems good, a couple of months ago there was an issue, I'm wondering if something's creeping back in, maybe delete and put back on ensuring any saves are also deleted.

Dawbo66 avatar Mar 03 '24 08:03 Dawbo66

The sprites are also missing on my pocket. Sometimes some groups of horizontal lines appear instead.

JanGunheD avatar Mar 04 '24 13:03 JanGunheD

Yeah had this issue on the Pocket. I just deleted the core and assets and reloaded but still the same.

Yes, that fixes it. I used jtfriday_240216_pocket.zip.

Outrun is a bit temperamental at the moment for some users.

Dawbo66 avatar Mar 05 '24 17:03 Dawbo66

Hi everyone. I still have this issue. Even after formatting my card and starting again. If I go back to download jtfriday_240216_pocket.zip version, can I confirm that once I download that, I can go into the core and asset folder and copy and paste these outrun core and asset folders into my card (in the same positions) and that's it? I don't need to change any other files anywhere on my card? And this should work. Thanks for your help guys.

46VR46 avatar Mar 12 '24 23:03 46VR46

Yes just overwrite when asked.

Dawbo66 avatar Mar 13 '24 00:03 Dawbo66

Hey thanks so much for the fast reply..... Done but no dice! So I dropped those two folders from the jtfriday_240216_pocket.zip version and overwrote the folder that were on my SD Card. Now when I go into the outrun core I get the message "Error in framework missing 'ROM' ID(1)". Does that mean I need to link something or reset where the AP is no looking for the core. I know it must just be one step I am missing here. Thanks.

46VR46 avatar Mar 13 '24 07:03 46VR46

Have you deleted the rom? If not the rom isn't correct for the core you replaced, you would need to generate the rom again,. Check if the rom is in assets/ common. Does turbo Outrun work ? Any issues delete the files including the saved file for Outrun and run updater again.

haha. Gold. Inset one of those little slap face emojis here! Thanks so much. I knew it was going to be something stupid that I was missing. 100% correct. Place the rom back in there and now working like a charm. I think I was just thinking that the rom was in that jtfriday_240216_pocket.zip and didn't think about having to place it in their manually as normally I would use pupdate which would normally download and insert the rom for me. So good pickup and I appreciate it. Cheers. Hopefully this will help someone else have the same issue.

46VR46 avatar Mar 13 '24 07:03 46VR46

This issue is known, I had it myself, normally over writing the files wouldn't delete the rom because there isn't one in the download, as you said, but now it's working so all good..

Dawbo66 avatar Mar 13 '24 07:03 Dawbo66

Still no luck for me. I don't know what's going on. Since the latest FW update Outrun refuses to work properly. I've deleted, updated and replaced everything I could and I still get the same outcome, no sprites.

trza49 avatar Mar 13 '24 11:03 trza49

Probably best to revert back to an older core for Outrun.

Dawbo66 avatar Mar 13 '24 12:03 Dawbo66

Probably best to revert back to an order core for Outrun.

Many thanks just did that and got it working again on the 09.02.24 build. When I downloaded what I thought was the correct file from Github I didn't have any luck but I joined the Patreon and that file worked. Strange. Many thanks.
