Hello,

Ik bought a pixelcade P5. I did the install conform the instructions on your website. Everything went good. I see the 1941 png. But when batocera reboots, it doesn’t takeover pixelcade. Im using batocera v 35. I also try'd all the possible solutions on the wiki batocera page. Im using a pi4. What am I doing wrong?

am guessing something wrong in the startup script, for now though, can you ssh in to your Pi and run this  manually:

cd to the pixelcader folder and then run

java -jar pixelweb.jar -b &

that will launch pixelcade in the background and then see if things are working. If that's the case, then we'll just need to troubleshoot the startup script

sorry, use this command

cd ~

cd pixelcade

pixelcade/jdk/bin/java -jar pixelweb.jar -b &

that should open up the listener and then also post here the contents of these two files:

custom.sh

pixelcade/system/autostart.sh

He says 'No such file or directory' 

In winSCP i see the java file in the directory. But the pixelweb.jar is in the pixelcade directory

in your custom.sh, add a carriage return between fi and /bin 

you can also test by running autostart.sh manually

what is happening here is the startup script which is custom.sh for batocera is not calling autostart.sh on boot up, that is why it works on install but not when reboot

When i run the autostart.sh manually then it works. How do we make custom.sh calling autostart.sh? The carriage return didnt work

The only thing that i changed in batocera is that i made a on/ off button with the etc init.d S92switch setup

i select the momentary push button. Maybe thats of influence?

enable_uart=1

to boot config.txt

to enable the led

Im playing now with pixelcade when manually calling the autostart.sh. I noticed that when i select a game that i see the game marquee, but after the scrolling tekst what says that i play the game, then the 'ARCADE'-marquee appears and not the game marquee. Do you think it helps when i start all over with a clean installe of batocera en skip the startbutton?
