I was wondering if there has been any progress on a new firmware which will fix the glitching and lockups with the RetroUSB 8-Bit XMAS 2017 cartridge.

I first reported it back on December 5th, 2018, but since Xmas is over replies have stopped.

To refresh...There is severe glitching and hard lockups when running the RetroUSB 8-BIT XMAS 2017 cart on the AVS (1.30 final firmware).

The power light on the AVS will occasionally flicker, and the cart eventually freezes up after some glitching.

I realize I can fix this by reverting to an older firmware, but I use the interpolation option exclusively in order to get rid of the shimmering effect. I also realize that the amount of people that own the RetroUSB LCD screen 8-BIT XMAS 2017 cart is probably small, but being that both the AVS and this cart are flagship RetroUSB products I think compatibilty between them should be a priority.

Love the avs, im sure its just a quick fix for someone, but my pal b scn copy of rc pro am 2 wont play. It loads the title screen okay, but after putting your name in the levels dont load at all, the screen just goes black/blank.

Im hoping for a bug fix, update for the firmware please.

1.30 firmware breaks many/most PAL games sadly. Next firmware update should hopefully fix that.

Try using an older firmware like 1.20, that had better compatibility for PAL.
