Issues, bugs and To Do

Known bugs and issues

• • Beekey could freeze at boot from time to time during the first usage. Press AltGr + Q to restart it.

  • On BeeKey, Aranym RAM can't be more than 100MB or Aranym will freeze.

  • On BeePi RPi3, Aranym wont scale to full screen but instead use native resolution with big black bars. To be fullscreen you can change the boot resolution of Beepi in the file /boot/config.txt.

  • On BeePi RPi4, the boot splashscreen may not come up at every boot.

  • If your monitor is not properly recognized (black screen, wrong boot resolution, black bars ..) you need to edit Raspberry config.txt. Mount the SD card on your PC, Mac or Linux and open the file config.txt. For Linux lover, you can Quit to Host and edit directly /boot/config.txt.

    • Try first to uncomment hdmi_ignore_edid.

    • If you have black bars, uncomment disable_overscan.

    • If the previous modification still don't work, uncomment hdmi_group and hdmi_mode to force a resolution. Search "Raspberry config.txt" for parameters explaination. For example 1080p is respectively 1 and 16, and 720p is 1 and 4.

  • HDMI to DVI or HDMI to VGA adapters, may cause video troubles. See How to setup video resolution.

  • Specifics hardware like Bluetooth and touch screen aren't supported. 

  • RPi3 is a bit short of processing power for Hatari cycle exact emulation and with processor demanding demos, you can have a slow down of the emulation. You can improve it by decreasing the screen frame rate at the cost of a less fluid scrolling. In Hatari setup menu, choose Hatari Screen and set skip 1 or more frame. You won't have this issue on RPi4 and RPi400 and you can choose Skip frame rate 0.

  • In case of a crash / Freeze: Try first Ctrl+Alt+Del, if it doesn't work try AltGr+Q, if it still doesn't work press Ctrl + Alt + F2, login and type reboot. Avoid forcing shutdown with the power switch as you could corrupt your system.

  • Works has many graphic glitches and does not understand VA Start nor drag an drop; redraw the screen with ctrl+alt+begin. 

  • Netsurf is not very compatible with modern sites, nor very stable. Mileage may vary with modern sites. From time to time, Netsurf could be blocked in "fetching / processing". Click on the red cross and reload the page.

  •  Netsurf : https pages are converted by the host proxy WebOne. If you want to open a https page, just type http:// without the s. If you type https://, Netsurf will use its internal processing and complaints the the certificate has expired : in this case click on "Proceed" to continue.

  •  Avi can't be read on Raspberry Pi due to lack of power.

  • Videl Inside : System will crash under single task if you change resolution with Videl Inside. See How to setup video resolution.

  • Videl Inside video mode editor runs only under single task, not with Mint.

  • EasyAraMint could complaint at boot that a disk has not been cleanly unmounted and perform a check disk. This is harmless.

  • QED doesn't work correctly under single task.

  • Doom tend to corrupt the system; do a warm reboot after using it.
