I still have the corruption on the first line of the title bar and odd spacing. I get it on both my PAL 7800 and my RGB modded PAL 2600. New menus are lovely though! Is it always like that, or do you have sometimes the correct spacing? Have you tried cleaning the contacts (VCS and Cartridge) ? Are you using the PlusCart with a case or without?

That's why I thought it was normal until Marauder sent me a picture of his. Don't think they need a clean as nothing else is showing any issues, but I'll give them a go on Sat when I have access to some IPA. PlusCart is in a 7800 cartridge shell.

juansolo Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Tricotomic is probably my favourite of the set, followed by small caps. The other two I'm not as keen on. But then again the random spacing may just be making them look bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Andrew Davie Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Just to be clear for anyone updating -- there are now 4 different font sets you can choose from. These are available in the menu "Setup/Set Font". Here's what they look like... 1. SMALL CAPS... 2. Trichotomic-12 3. Captain Morgan 4. Glacier Belle I'm asking what font people prefer, as I'd like to get a handle on which is the most popular one and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried it (Public ROMs/Homebrew/PAL/E-L/Lady Bug (PAL).bin) too, and no issue with the exit function. If the PlusCart you tested is the one with the thin PCB you should try to clean the contacts and use a shell with this PlusCart. I added your Cart #75 to the draft user group. Now your PlusCarts #49, #53, #75 and #78 are in this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think just pressing the RESET was enough to jiggle the contacts and crash the games I tested every now and then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr SQL Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Update successful! Ladybug ran fine but it's difficult to look at on a classic Television; good game though, probably why devs started merging the frames in the emulators and on the Retron community build.

Fixed issues and improvements (not fixed improvements): giant code cleanup (by @Andrew Davie) a lot of bug fixes faster downloading of "Offline ROMs" OK, just one thing to be aware on this... Firstly there's a new "Setup/Set Line Spacing" option. This lets you choose dense/regular/sparse spacing between lines, and changes the number of lines per screen accordingly (14/12/10). Now this mostly works OK, but there are situations where if your root menu goes over 1 page in length, then the menu system gets confused and you get a couple of "blank" menus you have to press the button on, before you get to where you really want to be. So please be aware of that. We will fix that one up ASAP. Meanwhile, most people won't even notice that, because you need to have a lot of items in your root menu AND select a sparse (ish) line spacing to actually push the menu to 2 pages.

I updated and it looks like it worked because I have this option, but the version number is gone from the top of the Setup screen. Line spacing is great, some feedback on selection bar - the selection bar is now red; I liked the C64esque light blue/white (that's not yellow) on blue color scheme better, red has too much contrast in the menu palette.

Yes, the Version number in the top row will be moved to a new menu entry in the Setup screen, which will contain some more information about the PlusCart and the PlusStore account it is connected to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Setup screen, the first 4 menu options are white (readable), but the rest is pinkish and hard to read. Is it my TV, or is it a setting I can change myself?

Prizrak Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Love the new menu and the stuff in setup, all the little things added are welcome. Any reason why my cart wouldn't be connecting to wifi on first boot, I know I use to have this all the time when using hotspot and it seems it's my system and not my internet. If I hit retry once or twice it loads and I'm good. Just didn't know if we changed something down the line that would effect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
