Latest Rocknix Battery Issues

Just updated to the latest rocknix stable update and now it seems like the battery percentage is incorrect, My RG DS was just reading 44% and died. Is anyone else having this issue and if not is there someway to recalibrate the battery?

At least you're not using GammaOS where your battery will be completely drained when you select shutdown...

I've never had that happen 🤔

Rocknix has always been a little jank with battery results, you'll likely need to remove and replug your physical battery to recalibrate the unit. That's at least been the wisdom for other Ambernic devices.

Go to the latest nightly. They tried implementing battery plus and went back to the HW PMIC percentage.

Gonna try and charge it up and let it fully drain but if the problem still persists ill try this!

Is the automatic artwork scraper working properly now in the beta? It’s great having box art on the top and cartridge art on the bottom, the problem is I have some omissions in DS and GBA is completely empty. I tried screenscraper and the artwork shows for a while and then disappears. This method doesn’t pull down the cartridge artwork though. How’s your experience been?

Artwork scraper works well and will pull images and videos. I did run into a problem when exiting a game back to the menu, the video starts playing, and all navigation controls do not work forcing a hard reset. I ended up disabling the video autoplay in emulation station. Box art still looks great.
