Very odd! Do you get any errors when running the update script? It was working for me yesterday evening (although this was on HDMI). Are you using directvideo or analogue video via an IO board?

[Menu]
vga_scaler=1
vsync_adjust=1
vscale_mode=1
video_mode=640,54,56,106,224,16,0,28,13764

[Menu]
vga_scaler=1
vsync_adjust=1
vscale_mode=1
video_mode=640,54,56,106,224,16,0,28,13764

Ok, so do you confirm it can't work on CRT analogue only?

Do you know if there is a way to install glow to have this working? I've ran update and update_all scripts already but I have the same results, also I've some filters enabled for update_all but I'm not sure it this is preventing to have glow installed in the linux folder. Thanks.

Strange, glow should be instaled with the PDF Viewer from here:
https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/PDFView ... r/releases

It should come down with update_all and downloader
