Updated Picochess images to v 4.2.2 with Stockfish 18.
Two image versions:
*** Picochess_4_2_2_NO_Desktop.img

Approximately 14 GB, with SSH enabled and:

*** Picochess_4_2_2_SI_Desktop.img
https://cloud.o2online.es/share/f/nVqO1xw5RP6GdroDiMykLjc3NzY2Nzk4MzU5NjFfNDM2MDk
Approximately 16 GB, with SSH enabled, VNC enabled and:

Which image should I flash to the microSD? It depends on your setup:
If you want the Raspberry Pi running the web server and to connect from a mobile phone, for example, download the smaller one without Desktop, since you won’t use the desktop environment at all.
If you have a screen connected to the Raspberry Pi, download the one with Desktop so you can control Picochess from the screen (either touchscreen or with a mouse). And if you want it to always show directly on the screen at boot, you need to run the installation script once at the beginning:
install-kiosk.sh
If you have a DGTPI clock, the ideal version to download would be the smaller one without Desktop. In that case, once the image is flashed to the card, you’ll need to connect via SSH and run the installation script:
install-dgtpi-clock.sh

Good afternoon.
I have updated my card image. Since there is currently a bit of “movement” around version 4.3, and until everything is settled, I have modified a few things that, in my opinion, needed to be changed in the latest version, and I have called it 4.2.4—just to give it a name and continue the existing version line.
Among many other things, there are 185 “classic” engines, sorted in the menu by brand to make it easier to find one — Novag, Mephisto, etc. I have included a file so you can see which ones they are.
This image does not include a desktop, so it is ideal for the DGTPI or for using it from the webserver with a mobile phone, tablet, etc.
I hope it is useful to someone — and what better day to try it than a Sunday? ;)
Best regards,
Antonio MP.

Realmente la imagen es la misma. Entras desde ssh, escribes "sudo raspi-config", en la primera opcion que sale eliges que inicie con Desktop (que está todo instalado pero desactivado para que inicie sin él y sea menos pesado para la dgtpi). Despues "sudo reboot" y debería funcionar.

"When no electronic board is selected, the DGT3000 clock display stays on 'DGT PI', so it would need to be changed in the picochess.ini file.
Anyway, to make things easier, I have just changed it in the image. By default, it now tries to connect to a 'DGT' board; this is simpler and enables the clock's physical buttons to select the board."
