But I know the CH340 works a bit different in case of receiving/reading data using the bash.

Try disabling the 3 Script lines from above.

Disabling the 3 suggested lines fixed my issue, venice figured out it's probably caused by my slow ESP8266 with an CH34x USB-Serial Adapter Chip version of TTY2OLED.

… I have the premade tty2oled kit from https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/tty2oled_esp32_wroom_32d.html This is all I get from dmesg /media/fat/Scripts# dmesg | grep tty [ 1.622937] ch341-uart ttyUSB0: break control not supported, using simulated break [ 1.623240] usb 1-1.5: ch341-uart converter now attached to ttyUSB0 That result is stra...

Can you tell us a bit more about your used tty2oled hardware? See here please: https://github.com/venice1200/MiSTer_tty2oled/wiki/Troubleshooting#needed-information I am testing up and down with different tty2oled MCU's and SAM settings and never stuck there. SAM works for me without this "clear buffer" function as well, we can disable t...

Made the changes you suggested, user-startup.sh now looks like this. #!/bin/sh # Startup tty2oled [[ -e /media/fat/tty2oled/S60tty2oled ]] && /media/fat/tty2oled/S60tty2oled $1 # Startup MiSTer_SAM - Super Attract Mode [[ -e /media/fat/Scripts/.MiSTer_SAM/MiSTer_SAM_init ]] && /media/fat/Scripts/.MiSTer_SAM/MiSTer_SAM_init $1 Still ...

Got another one for you. With ttyenabled, SAM does not start after a cold boot. If you do a MiSTer_SAM_on.sh monitor from SSH, the process is there but its just sitting at a black screen. Maybe waiting for TTY2oled to do something? On the other hand, starting from the menu option to "start and monitor" with ttyenabled seems to work fine? ...

I pushed a small change that now makes tty2oled exit cleanly with ttyuseack=yes. The problem was that the last tty_waitfor (in tty_exit function) broke MiSTer_SAM_on.sh's exit. I'm running it in the background now and that seems to have fixed it. I also have SAM's startup running in background now so it doesn't interfere with tty2oled's startup an...

New cores: Paradox just added Atari 2600, 5600, 7800 support EXCELLENT! Anybody know what the filetype is supposed to be for these, it doesn't seem to be finding .a26, .a78 or .a52 files. Cancel that, I figured out this issue. The create gamelist option from the menu doesn't find the Atari games; however, if you run SAM normally it does find Atari...

Loving the new Commodore 64 functionality! Excellent

I think I found another bug maybe? Seems that whenever you reinstall, SAM starts out muted even though the default INI is not muted now? If you unmute it in the menu it stays unmuted from then on though so no big deal.

Hello everybody. Just did a reinstall to a larger SD card and am now getting an error when trying to start tty2oled on boot 9gOypLa.png When you start it up manually it works as normal. Before I did the reinstall it started on boot with no issue. Smells like a permissions issue to me, but I'm not sure permission to what file? Thanks! EDIT: Still no...

The ps output is helpful tracking down the issue! SAM is started multiple times which shouldn't happen and that's why it's behaving incorrectly. If you start MiSTer_SAM_on.sh from ssh and push up, your get to the menu. Here you can disable auto start. What I would suggest first though is do a cold reboot. Don't start SAM manually! Just wait 2 mins...

There may be a bug in the menu item "Reinstall SAM and enable Autostart" SAM will start after sec. after boot/tmp/MiSTer_SAM_on.sh: line 1748: [: ==: unary operator expected whenever controller is not in use and show each game for 120 sec. Downloading from https://github.com/mrchrisster/MiSTer_SAM/blob/main/MiSTer_SAM_on.sh to /tmp/... Do...

Not sure how to tell if AutoStart is enabled or not? I don't see it in the INI file anywhere, is it only available in the Sam Menu? From my testing it appears that there is no tty2oled hang when starting Sam manually, only on cold boot with autostart enabled from Sam Menu. Edit: actually if you start SAM manually close enough to a cold reboot, it s...

Just did another fresh install and keyboard input detection does seem to be working correctly now :) I have a new issue for you though :( When I enable tty2oled SAM sticks at "Clear tty2oled Serial Input Buffer" for almost 5 minutes. Not sure if it was always doing this and I just didn't notice it before? Init tty2oled, loading variables....

If you're talking about keyboard input, that should always be detected by SAM. We fixed a bug yesterday where SAM would kick in while you are in game, not respecting the menuonly=yes setting in the ini. Please update and give it a try! Reinstalled the new script just now, and still having the same issue. If I have "Monitor" running, I ca...

I'm having a lot of issues with ROM's defaulting to PAL mode that are labeled as USA/JAPAN. Anybody else getting this? Which roms? I will test and see. It's best to add more information to your bug reports like this. EDIT: I just checked all of the commercial library with header detection and my region priority set to US>JP>EU. Here are the result...

Hi Mellified! Can we get a toggle in the ini file that causes SAM to shutoff until the next reboot when input is detected? The reason I ask, is since SAM is not able to detect all types of controllers or more than one controller, this would make it easier to walk up to the machine, press spacebar to turn off SAM, and then start playing the currentl...

Is there a way to use the "/media/fat/_Arcade/_Organized/" paths to omit both tate games AND games that won't sync to a consumer TV set? For example: https://www.arcade-history.com/?n=konek-gorbunok&page=detail&id=7755 http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/dettaglio_mame.php?game_name=gorodki&search_id= Both don't sync because they are ...

How do I go about troubleshooting Joystick detection? tty2oled turns off and "MiSTer_SAM_on.sh monitor" exits when a button is detected correct? If so, the only thing being detected is keyboard input on my setup. I also have 2 USB Saturn controllers, 2 PS5 controllers, and 2 USB Xarcade tankstick controllers. None of these are being detec...

I've got another dumb question (sorry). What is the function of the SAM_GameLists directory? Do these need to be deleted out and recreated every time you add more games? Also which core is the geis_gamelist.txt relating to? Thanks! geis is currently a bug and i'm in the process of fixing this, it's not a valid system. A bit of a background why we ...
