Cronqvist said:Hey guys, I've been doing some reading here and there, and it seems the Neutron boot screen will only show up in resolutions 1024.768 and higher. I've yet to connect the netbook to some other display devices and check for myself, but I'll let you know how that turns out.:DUsing Build 7000 right now on the ASUS EEE PC 904HA with the same 1024X600 resolution as the AAone, and the boot screen is perfect, so I don't think it has to do with the resolution.I also have the AAone and when I was using Win7 the boot screen worked fine.

I would be able to verify some settings with you if the wife had not decided to make it hers, and then made me restore it back to XP for her use(errrr.LOL).Question, did you keep the driver Win7 installed for your graphics chipset? If so you might try getting the latest driver from ACER and see if that fixes your problem. I also installed the latest ASPI driver set for my netbooks which took care of a couple of other initial issues. Hi There, Had the same problem of the boot screen reverting back to the old Vista green bar. I tried all the commands etc. In this thread and other threads i found to no avail.
Jan 18, 2018 Firstly, the boot animation is incredibly slow. Something in the neighborhood of 2 frames a second. Secondly, once it boots up to the dev preview connection screen the font is larger than it should be. When I load my app onto the device it is clear that there.
I am running a HP Media Centre PC WIN 7 with a NVIDIA 7500LE graphics. The weird part was it worked fine to start with, until i decided to plug in our Samsung Flat panel TV as an extended monitor. For some reason it didn't like the DVI- HDMI connection to the TV and as soon as I unplugged the TV from the PC, and rebooted i got the graphical New Windows 7 Boot screen again. Not sure if this helps anyone else or not, but thought i would share seeing as nothing else i had read so far worked for me!:).
These are the best recommendations to configure the video to fit your screen the right way. There are three levels of configuration: system, default emulator video mode, emulator specific video mode.

Keep in mind that the screen resolution can have quite an impact on the frame rate, especially with CPU intensive emulators i.e. (N64, PSX & others)Most of this guide will concentrate on the HDMI output, and outlining as often as possible the 3 cases of pure HDMI, HDMI2DVI, HDMI2VGA.What video modes are possible?First, understand the basics of screen resolution: a number of pixels in width by the number of pixels in height at (@) a given refresh rate in Hertz. For example: 1280x1024@60 which is a common screen resolution of 4x3 19' monitors. Nowadays TVs all display full HD at 1080p as an example, like 1920x1080@60. We won't go through interleave or progressive modes, that's off topic. Please refer to your screen manufacturers manual to know it's native resolution.There are 2 groups of video modes: CEA and DMT. All those modes are listed.
Make sure to check the mode is compatible with your native screen resolution. A simple rule of thumb: CEA are TV modes, DMT are all other modes.Most common modes are:. DMT 4: 640x480@60. DMT 9: 800x600@60. DMT 16: 1024x768@60. DMT 35: 1280x1024@60.
DMT 57: 1680x1050@60. 720p: CEA 4. 1080p: CEA 16In this tutorial we will cover 3 cases:.
A regular 1080p TV. Let's call it 1080pTV. a VGA 720p monitor connected with a HDMI2VGA. Nickname: 720pVGA. a good old 17' DVI capable of 1280x1024@60.
Name it errr. Don't forget to check the wiki for DVI screensWith what you already know about screen modes, these settings are most common:. 1080pTV is CEA 16. 720pVGA is CEA 4. DVIboy is DMT 35Your system bootsUpon boot, the Pi will ask your monitor it's preferred screen resolution. Your monitor send its EDID and the raspberry will select the screen resolution noted as 'preferred'.
Hdmigroup=1hdmimode=4Take NOTE:. The sign '#' gets removed, the technical term for this is 'uncommented'. A line starting with a # is a comment, and not a command. hdmigroup=1 means CEA. hdmimode=4 means 720pNow we're done, our 3 screens are set, continuing onward!Global video mode for emulatorsNow EmulationStation runs in fullscreen, your hand is thrilling to test a game.The main thing you need to know here, is that the screen resolution is changed before launching an emulator. But to what resolution? Check your recalbox.conf and read the global.videomode parameter.
It's default value is CEA 4 HDMI. That means that the screen resolution will be changed to 720p right before starting the emulator. Time to check some examples:. 1080pTV can display 720p without a hitch. 720pVGA can display 720p without a scratch.
DVIboy is. It can't display 720p. So just edit recalbox.conf and set global.videomode to its native video mode: global.videomode=DMT 35 HDMIPro tip: Feeling lucky, do you want to spare your monitor from one screen resolution change? Then set global.videomode=default, recalbox won't change the screen resolution before launching an emulator. But beware: it can have a massive impact on performance.
Stretching a picture from the native emulator resolution to 1080p can be quite CPU intensive and slow down emulation. I don't recommend setting to default if your monitor can display higher than CEA 4Per emulator video modeLast but not least, the video mode can be set especially for whichever emulator you want. For example, if you read through recalbox.conf, you will notice n64.videomode=DMT 4 HDMI which means we override the global.videomode for N64 emulation.I hope this guide helped you to understand how screen resolution is managed on the Pi and Recalbox.
