GameShell OS Image v0.6 gamma

When I change the to Chinese, the startup screen will be stuck at the loading screen

feedback got

Incomplete noto uniconde series fonts lead to multi-language switching crash

fixed

right now, you need to find a way to ssh into GS, or mount GS sdcard on linux computer

delete /home/cpi/launchergo/sysgo/.lang

rm /home/cpi/launchergo/sysgo/.lang

then reboot, launcher will back

and if your network can access GitHub well

try update launchergo ,

or

cd ~/launchergo/
git pull

to get a newer version of launchergo to avoid this bug

and right now ,launchergo does not have fullly support of multi-language interface

will be fixed in a future version

os image download link updated, included this fix

Has this been officially released? I am wondering why it is a MEGA link instead of a link on ClockworkPi’s site …

Not yet

Thank you! My GameShell is on order. :slightly_smiling_face:

Is it just me, or is everything much slower on this. Booting, launching retroarch, etc, all take longer to do.

  • Power on to launcher ready
    • v0.5 : 29 seconds
    • v0.6g2 : 2 minutes 6 seconds
  • Launching RetroArch
    • v0.5 : 4 seconds
    • v0.6g2 : 33 seconds

(0.6g2 refers to clockworkos_v0.6_gamma_2)

Yes, everything way slower

Happy to see some development on the official GameShell OS Image ! So so cool to see some upgrades coming.

Will try to find some time to test it out.

Love the armbian use here. What would be the chances of seeing the gameshell in the download list of armbian website like the devterm ? (see screenshot below) :

Any updates on 0.6 or the kernel issue? My GameShell just arrived!

not yet

update will be available after uConsole shipment

I don’t know why but compared to 0.5, the experience is far slower. mgba took a whole minute to start up along with all the indie games. I’m suspecting it may be due to some driver issues but I primarily think its because the backend is using ubuntu. Debian was a far better choice as its better known as being a good backend for embedded/consolized systems where some people report ubuntus bloat causing slowdowns worse than windows 10/11. Just my two cents idk

well i got the gamma 3 build and the wifi doesn’t work at all. it keeps giving me connection errors.

Is there an update on the 0.6 version + updated kernel ?
The current version works but it could really use a speed boost.

sorry
not yet

still working on something else

It’s been a couple of months so I just thought I’d check if there are any updates. I’m loving the experience but encountering two issues:

  1. General slowness as reported elsewhere
  2. PICO-8 refuses to load. I’ve followed all the tutorials I can find but it keeps telling me I need to buy and copy the ZIP file over. I’ve done that, but it still refuses to start.
