Emulation station issues

[kdesilva]

Hey there – everything is working as per normal except two things

There’s no background or logos when in emulationstation – just a white background and the words that say SNES, PC, NES, etc

Scraping a game is veeeeerry slow

Which model Pi do you have and what is your memory split, ES 2 requires at least 128MB GPU ram

Hey there – I’ve got the B+ and I think I actually forgot to the do the memory split on setup … can I still go back and do that?

[trimmtrabb]

Yes, sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Change to: gpu_mem=256

If that doesn’t work try 384

Will I need to reinstall emulationstation?

[trimmtrabb]

No

[kdesilva]

so once I change the splits all the backgrounds should come up?

Ok – I’ll give it a go tonight thx

[trimmtrabb]

It’s a guess, I have seen similar issue related to GPU ram with the new Emulation Station. You need to reboot after editing config.txt

Ok cool – I’ll try it out and report back ..
