LCD : Incorrect characters displayed on second line

Post by cedric731 »

Hi all,

My lcd/I2c interface are working great but i've noticed that the Firmware seems to have problem to manage files with long names (> 40 characters). In this case, incorrect characters are displayed in the first three spaces of the second line of the display (see attachment).

The issue can be reproduce systematically when you select a long file name with the JA Button. I precise that on boot, the hxc message is correctly displayed.
If i rename the file to a shorter name, it's working.
Example of name OK:
Shinobi (1989)(Sales Curve)[cr PNA].adf
Agony (1992)(Disk 1 of 3).adf
Risky Woods (1992)(Disk 1 of 2).adf

Names KO:
Risky Woods (1992)(Electronic Arts)[cr TRSi][t +4 Supplex](Disk 1 of 2).adf
Agony (1992)(Psygnosis)[cr CSL](Disk 1 of 3).adf

I have contacted a other member : rfancella and he has the same issue. I've made the test with another LCD/I2C : same behavior.
If other members can test it, it would be great too.

Jeff can you try to fix this issue please? thanks again for your work on this great firmware :).

Hello,
I also have experienced this and it is reproducible. I have two Goteks with LCD displays.
I believe it has to do with the length of the file name as well.

Thanks,
Ron
