I was playing with friends using password to prevent other players join and lag the game, now I can't join the host anymore because the game don't show in lobby, will we be able to create private games?

I was just testing a bit and i found out, that the host has to wait after starting a game, until the client can see this game in the lobby. Then the host can set a password and the client can join.

@rcp Qual Arquitetura você está usando: Rpi0/1, Rpi2, Rpi3? Você fez a atualização limpa, e apenas copiou os jogos (SHARE/ROMS) para a nova instalação? Se, por exemplo, você tentou copiar algum arquivo de configuração de uma versão anterior, é isso que está lhe causando problemas.
Você tinha alguma configuração personalizada de emulador e na instalação limpa ainda não configurou? Já tentou ir nas configurações avançadas e alterar o emulador e/ou o núcleo de emulação?

Which architecture are you using: Rpi0 / 1, Rpi2, Rpi3? Did you update it cleanly, and just copied the games (SHARE/ROMS) to the new install? If, for example, you tried to copy some configuration file from an earlier version, that is what is causing you problems.
Did you have any custom emulator configuration and clean install has not yet set up? Have you tried going into the advanced settings and changing the emulator and / or emulation core?

@zing
Zing, thank you for responding! I use RPI3. I did a clean installation, but I used the roms of the other card that had updated for the last version and they were working, but in the installation from Zero they stopped working

Besides the Roms, I copied the file gamelist.xlm and some saves, is it possible that this is what prevents these systems from working? Thanks a lot for the help

@rcp As Roms e os gamelist.xml não podem interferir, nem mesmo os saves, apenas poderia ser um problema se você tentasse aproveitar um arquivo de configuração que seja de uma versão anterior.
Eu não tenho certeza do que aconteceu, mas eu tentaria fazer uma instalação limpa com a última versão, e copiaria apenas uma ROM de cada sistema que você alega ter problemas, e faria um teste. Se com apenas uma ROM funcionar, isso significa que você está tentando usar um arquivo de configuração de uma versão anterior, mesmo que sem intenção, e por isso está tendo problemas.

Roms and gamelist.xml can not interfere, not even saves, could only be a problem if you tried to take advantage of a configuration file that is from an earlier version.
I'm not sure what happened, but I would try to do a clean installation with the latest version, and I would copy only one ROM from each system that you claim to have problems, and test it. If only one ROM works, it means that you are trying to use a configuration file from an earlier version, even unintentionally, and is therefore having problems.

Bug in Kodi... pressing the button without stopping, turbo type... even if you do not press anything in the menus.
Usually starts in the menu options, System🤬 Fix??? I use ps4 controller

[AnderDog]

@anderdog Sorry guys, this bug only Ps4 controller... My Gamesir G4s controller works fine

Really love Recalbox! It's definitely the best retro gaming system out there! I updated recently on two systems and had no problems. One system is unable to add Bluetooth controllers, but on that system I am using the Kintaro Super Kuma 9000 case image, which may be the problem. I was also wondering about Kodi. I searched and the only thing I found was that Kodi would be updated when buildroot updates it. xxxxxxxxx), which also runs off of buildroot has updated their system to Kodi 17.6, so I was wondering if there was any chance that it would also be coming to Recalbox. Currently, I just leave Kodi turned off because I ran into an issue with the YouTube add-on constanly asking to launch the setup wizard. Thanks!! Great Work!!

@ibrown recalbox will be updated buildroot and kodi soon.
Developpers are in holidays.

Go to Main Menu, "Controller Settings", "Configure a Controller", do the Button Mapping for your Controller.

Thank you very much for the hard work. Just one question, What Kodi version Recalbox using now? I want to migrate my Kodi to Recalbox, but Addon for TheTVDB.com doesn't work anymore in version 16, it require version 17.

I have a problem with this 18.07.13 release, almost all cores get blackscreen but the games run and have sound.
I found a simple fix but its a bug: Go to main menu, inside "game settings" and select some shader.
This seems to fix glupen64/mupen/neogeo,etc but not fba like cp1/cps2/cp3 steal blackscreen with sound.
If i set shaders none almost no game work... my god thats why i always fear to update.
=(

Well i found a way, set shader with scanlines or retro, but up some neogeo game and change the game in the retroarch menu with the load content.
With this work around i can get any cps game to work, i simple cant start cps by its on with this build.
Lets just wait for another update to see if fix the need of shader and this blackscreens.

@abilaunken which board ? Pi3 ? Default theme ? What screen ? Overclocked ?

[Abilaunken]

@substring
Pi3, i try change themes for default "recalbox" and nothing changes.
After update the overclock goes 1300 to 1200 so i can say a tested with and without, same results.
My last update was 1 plus the one with christmas intro and everything works until now.

Now i got almost all core blackscreen until a set a global shader in the ES main menu.
Try put shader = none and see if u can play neogeo or other games.

@abilaunken altough i have a small idea of what could be wrong, this hasn't changed for months ...
What.s your screen ?

What.s your screen ?

What u mean when u ask me about "screen" ?
What make me mad is the fact that anyone here doenst report this bad behavier, i always look about the update before in fact update.
What i read was about the select button and the coin in arcades, but was fix in this release. Something about the n64 blackscreen, but the problem about blackscreen its something more.
Do u know if its possible to downgrade?
This 18.07.13 should not be in the stable updates, at max on the instable, but for me it should have been more work on it.

Im not a linux expert, but i suspect the problem is on some ".sh" scripts, in the launch of the retroarch core and contets line from the EmuStation.
The proof is that i can open and play content of fba that is not loading properly directly from Emustation resulting blackscreen, when i open inside the retroarch.

@abilaunken if no one reported the problem (well, a few did), it's because it's not happening to most people.

If i ask you details about your screen, is that I suspect that the delay added after resolution change could be too short. That's somethibg we had to deal with about a year ago with a pi firmware change

Humm the change in resolutions humm... i use a samsung model 6 not the best for games, i set my hdmi for pc to get the best of input lag i can get, its somewhere between 40 and 50 ms lag.
But i think input lag has nothing to do in the change of resolutions.
So you suspect that when i set some shader in the ES when i launch a game i get more milliseconds to open a game or get a extra pass thats why i got some games to launch properly. Hum make sence...
Do you know a way that i can put a thered sleep of 100ms or something to test?

@substring
Sub i now managed to fix all the blackscreen in all cores and was a simple fix.

In the recalbox.conf just comment this line with a "#" :

Set gpslp shader for all emulators (prefer shadersets above). Absolute path (string)

#global.shaders= one

I mess with resolution like u tell but nothing fix the problem, so a left global.shaderset=none , thats cause blackscreen in almost all cores, but when i set global.shaders= with absolute path all cores work perfect.

But i cant do that becouse the compatibility issues with some cores like psx that get slows down, so u just need to comment this line and without no shaders no more bug.

=(
Forget it, its works until i reboot... something reallly messed up and change behavier when mess with shaders.
Its a lost of time trying to discover a work around, just wait another release.
Put retro or scanline load some core and content and be happy to play cps1 this way for now.
