Hi,
I made a note in the first post regarding flickering. Did you apply the patch?

Hi,
How do I come to know if my cores got updated? It run the updater and it does say cores up to date (or something similar).
But how do I manually verify this?
I didnāt want to go silently benefitting from all the hard work in here, so hiii 
I lost patience with my setup on OS 0.4 and figured Iād try this. I flashed your 200903 build and set everything up, and at first my machine was flickering like a few others have reported (for me it was scanlines jittering a handful of pixels left and right). I swapped in/out about every combo of clock setting and kernel provided in the menusā¦no dice. Weirdly enough, if I kept the unit powered on, the flickering would go away after about 10 minutes. After getting tired of that(!) I tried your patch. Itās been solid for over a week now playing GBA, GBC, MAME, PSX, Neo Geo Pocket, Atari 2600 images, running Pico-8, and even running a couple of flavors of UAE. If I run into any issues Iāll speak up, but itās been solid so far.
Thanks for all the work you do in here on the forum. I honestly canāt remember the last time I saw someone put this kind of help together and consistently help others with just about anything. Also, thanks to those putting together custom kernels and apps. And thanks to those talking through issues here. Itās silently helped my Gameshell be waaay more enjoyable than it was. I really appreciate it!

This is such a beautiful reply!! I honestly donāt know if half the things work for everyone. Most people who reply only do so when something doesnāt work. Great to hear that everything is working, including the patch for the flickering! 
Iāve been a bit busy with life lately, so havenāt had as much time to help as much. But it looks like most of the posts here are directed at the devterm.
Fingers crossed most of the āregular user issuesā have been addressed, and we now have a fairly feature rich gameshell device, free from most problems!!

I havenāt been through the entire thread since thereās a lot. But I managed to mount the image, use the patches preemptively to fix flashing (if I were to even have it) and so far things seem to be running smoothly for me. Transferring over a bunch of my GBA/GB roms to test out retroarch on this image. Not sure if Iāll have to reference another thread for the settings I used to have. Either way I am impressed I managed this so far with 0 issues.
Thereās a lot I need to learn still, but so far so good.
If there are any parts of the thread I should read, please can you link me to those spots? Thanks in advance and awesome that thereās some people here to help/create.

HDMI output does not work.
The first screen appears, but it does not proceed to the menu screen.
I am using the latest custom image (200903).
If anyone knows how to solve this problem, please advise.
Hey, thanks for the feedback!
It sounds like you should be all good. Iāve tried to take all things into consideration, and put any specific instructions into the first post.
Fingers crossed things all work!
@misaki860 are you booting up with the HDMI plugged in? Give that a shot. Otherwise, try a different kernel out, using the kernel switching scripts.
For some reason, the wonderswan emulator specified an extension only for the color version, you need to fix it and add ws

I have 2 main issues, I donāt know if they are software or hardware related.
- Battery is draining while device is powered off
- Wi-Fi and bluetooth stop working after a while. Scanning for wi-fi networks and bluetooth devices not working.
After clean install of Deot image wifi & bluetooth starts working.
Hello I like your DEOT theme a lot I just have one small question about the āscanlinesā effect on the screen, which looks great however it keeps the effect on in OhBoyand I was wondering if tehre was a way to turn that off for certain games or not. I noticed its not there for SNES and GBA games I tried and they ran well.
EDIT: okay , I found the flickering fix in your original post, did not see that before, and i ran the commands and it appears to be fixed.
Iāve scanned this post and did some Googling, but Iām stuck on adding ROMs for a few systems.
But before I go into that, this build is AWESOME. Looks cool, and generally works so well. Iām really happy to have it, so THANKS!
- Pico-8 - I bought and copied over Pico-8 for the Pi but it tells me itās not installed. I had the same problem with the original OS, too. There was a home/games/PICO-8 folder already present, which is where the error Iām getting says to put itā¦
- GameGear - There was a folder existing for these, as well, but the OS tells me the ROMs location is empty. I tried GGEAR, GEAR, gg, GameGear, and GAMEGEAR as folder names - so Iāve tried the default that the install put on my SD card but also some variations Iāve found in various articles, but nothing seems to work. I wonder if thereās a BIOS file missing, but Iāve found no folder where it seems like BIOS images should go.
- UAE - same issue as the gamegear, and also wondering about a BIOS location here as well (for the kickstart rom I have, I would imagine)
- TG16 - thereās no menu entry for the TG16 but surely the machine can cope with that. I added some cores in retroarch for it, but see no way to add a menu item in the nav for it. Is that possible? Or do I need to get to the TG16 some other way?
I had a similar issue with Pico-8 on my Debian powered iMac and came across this page when looking for a fix my problem. Running PICO 8 on the GameShell Ā· clockworkpi/GameShellDocs Wiki Ā· GitHub

That fixed the pico. Thanks!
Any ideas on uae or gamegear? They have folders and menu entries but keep telling me to send files over via wifi. All the other emus are just fine.
And any leads on how I might add menu entries for the 2600 and tg16? Seems odd those are missing altogether.
