Questions about emulators
In x I can start pcsx. When I start it from the menu it returns me to the menu. Just executing it from cli will give me black screen. Maybe some config file again?

@mholgatem - Is it normal that the ps1 does not work in 640x480? (its the only resolution really working well with the scanline device).

@mholgatem - Thanks for the help. Will try it tonight. Concerning the joystick.Maybe it does not like the key assignment. Which keys do you use for your joystick and knobs.

I also want to confirm that the nes emulator does not start from the menu in any 4:3 mode. Something else which has nothing to do with the screen but with the input is that especially the Genesis emulator does not like the GPIO joystick and driver. …

Setting a low resolution of 640x480 will give the following error when selecting something in the menu:pygame.error: Invalid resolution for Surface. 640x480 is interesting for scanline devices for the real retro look.

the 1360 resolution also causes mame and other games to no longer be fullscreen. So I will switch back to true 4:3. I will leave the nes for now. I hope this can be fixed later.

I had a look at the config file. they get overwritten when fceux runs. I saw that the resolution resets to 1366x768. I then saw that resolution 1360x768 hdmi mode 39 is close. So I tried it and it seems to work.

In this case the solution is the problem :( I hope changing the settings in fceu.cfg will solve it. Lets see.

1024x768 60 hz is the max setting in my arcade cabinet. Adding the hdmi force and drive did not change anything.

Just tried something else. Starting from menu. No go. Starting from command. No go. Starting within X in a command line Go...... So it works but not the way it should be.
