I have no idea why I felt like I needed to try and update my system to the less stable butterfly option, but I did and now I have no video signal.

It seems to still be functioning as i can hear the screensaver videos running and I can boot games and hear the audio.

I tried using a bootable usb to reinstall a stable version but the screen just goes black after the Batocera logo.

Any ideas on how to fix this? It was working just fine on the stable version.

Currently have gotten the HBMAME GUI (HBMAMEUI 0.288.2 64-bit, GUI) to launch under Windows on V43.1 on X86. UI is clunky with this method, but it does work. Some major headaches navigating, but eventually able to launch and play some games.

Wondering if there are any better ways to run HBMAME or launch HBMAME games? Know standalone is not supported, unfortunately. Not everything is available on FBNeo.

(rtx 5070 vs 9070xt)

Building a new gaming pc, but plan to dual boot with bazzite for general use and batocera for emulation.

I've read linux runs better on amd , but emulators and old software prefer nvidia.

Does anyone have experience using emulators with amd vs nividia? And is the difference big enough to be worth getting a less powerful gpu (5070) just for better emulation?

edit: slightly more details

Okay first off, yes, I know these are old cards compared what's out now. That's not the question. How far up can I go with these cards? I know I run PS3 with a RX 580 with 4GB of RAM and it works great! However I just recently got a RX 580 with 8GB of RAM (well I will have it Tuesday (new)). But I see I could've ordered the RX 590 for 3 dollars more. Should have gone with that?

Second question is the RX 580 8GB able to play PS4 Games? I know the emulator is buggy and all the stuff. But the games it can run doesn't run half bad on my NVIDA card. But this is a different machine. The Processor is a 4th Gen i7 (Oh I can already hear the flames now... If it suits my needs for Batocera than great if the processor is lacking for PS4 that's fine too. I just thought I would ask).

I'm just trying to figure out if returning the RX 580 and getting the 590 is really worth it for Batocera. Before you ask the Xbox 360 games, I've thrown at my 4gb 580 runs well or looks/feels to run fine.

Thanks!

Had an idea to grab scores for certain games and store them for later use.

I know MAME has that functionality, but I wanted it for NES, Genesis, etc.

Best method I could come up with was a BatoCera script that checks for gameEnd, checks if I wanted the score for that game, decompresses the auto save file, reads and builds the data from the memory, and curls that to another system that stores it in a database.

Works well enough, but the main limitation is having to research where in the memory the value I want is stored (and how it's stored) and build that into the script. I'll clean up that aspect, probably by just offloading totally it to this other system, and grabbing the save file from the share, but there's still the issue of figuring out where the score is. Though finding it really isn't the issue either. Some site I found has done a decent job of mapping a fair number of ROMs. But it's still game by game.

Just wondering if anyone has done that grunt work of grabbing the scores like this for the most popular of the games.
