Bonjour Substring et bravo pour le travail

Using a new RPI3B+ I've downloaded IMG from link https://wetransfer.com/downloads/001a87b22467ab20ba97a6e2bcadf64020180814205142/64afb2 on a fresh new SD card.
Running on a SAMSUNG LCD Screen with Wired game pad I failed to run games. No games is running NES, SNES, Master System etc ...
I see only game intro and after a while back to ES game list ....
I do not know what i've missed.
Merci pour votre aide

@olivierdroid92 Same here I thought that Kodi was not working however it seems that the emulators are not working too.

@olivierdroid92 & @kelv : Remap your pad(s) using the appropriate menu option. Updating or running a fresh install does the same.

@Bkg2k
Thanks, it's working fine now with an other gamepad I've remapped :).

Hi there. I tested it with pi 3b+ with my external hard drive with all the roms and musik titles. The emulators are shown and the roms also because i can‘t play them. The roms are from the recalbox from the pi 3 b and the bios are also from the pi 3b. Is that not compatible with the data from the pi 3b ??
The title musik from my own does also not work only the musik on the internal drive .
The wifi setting keyboard does sometimes not shown.
Updates i don‘t now becaus i have edit the config data to the link from the forum.
greets robert

All is OK, Srapper, SAVED, LOAD, RW, FW etc ...

But, I 've got some trooble to display keyboard when I want to put my name in NETPLAY setting.
So impossible to display keyboard.
No test performed on NETPLAY

Other points,

• 1st mapping issues with wired classic chine SNES pad. I dont kon why didnt works
• allmost impossible to affect "R2" pad after "L2" pad. . So perform all and back to choose correct "R2"

I will keep going to tests

Hello ,

• PI3b+ , clean image installation, controller xbox360

1. The virtual keyboard is not visible

See the first post

2. Wifi problem : once the activated wifi can not connect via the network

I'll investigate

@BertL1005 there is no difference between a pi3 and pi3b+ from a recalbox point of view. So troms and everything else should work just as well as before.
Virtual keyboard : please read again the first post

I'm not sure to understannd what you mean

allmost impossible to affect "R2" pad after "L2" pad. . So perform all and back to choose correct "R2"

on which pad ?

TO EVERYONE: edited the first post so that the pad remapping necessity stands out better

[olivierdroid92]

@Substring
with a wired pad ps4 type when i configured the key, is was ok for "L2". I choose "L2".
But these selected key went affected to "L2" and "R2".
Lors de l'affection des touches sur une manette filaire USB de type PS4 : pour le bouton "L2". Je presse 1 clic sur "L2" mais ES affecte cette touche à "L2" et immédiatement apres fait la meme chose pour "R2". Je continue mon affectation des touches puis à la fin, corrige l'affection correcte.
Je ne sais pas si cela vient de ma manette ou si c'est lié à un timer ?

[Substring]

@olivierdroid92 using the dpad you can go back on keys assigned. Were the keys of BUTTON or AXIS type ?

[Substring]

by the way, xu4 and C2 tests are also welcome

[olivierdroid92]

@Substring
Yes with dpad I was able to go back and selecte to correct button assignation. After a while these issue was solved.
Is there a specific duration timer afer we put on a button ? if yes maybe we can increase it.

[Substring]

@olivierdroid92 that's why i ask if it was a trigger or a button. Your prblem loooks like you had triggers, it's a usual problem in ES then whay you've faced, but we never really found a good solution to it yet.

Don't forget to make a support archive once all your pads are reconfigured, i need the pads' new configuration !

[Substring]

@mikozzz wifi does work

[olivierdroid92]

@Substring
Please find archive support on RPI3B+ done just after my wired pad is reconfigured.

ROMS & BIOS on USB.
No wifi, running on RJ-45
Screen : LCD Samsung
Hope it can helps

Tested the x86_64 image with my Intel NUC D54250WYK and an Original Sony PS3 Controller (Sixaxis Model CECHZC1E).
Installed the image with Etcher on a new/fresh USB 3.0 64GB USB Stick (Sandisk).

Result:
No Sound/Music in EmulationStation Main Menu and the default (out-of-the-box) Controller Mapping is messed up.
By testing/try and error i found out that:
L1 = Up
L2 = Down
Square = Start
Down = Select (SNES B Button)

Went to "Controller Settings", "Configure A Controller" and did the mapping (but within mapping, "L3" was immediately skipped, so i was not able to map L3-Button correctly by pressing the left Thumb-Stick of my PS3-Controller, but all other buttons i was able to map correctly)

Then started SNES Game Classic Kong, but no sound/music and no control possible, no button works (even Hotkey + Start to exit also does not work)

With another PC i started a browser and went to "Recalbox Manager", "Support" and did launch the recalbox-support.sh:
Download URL: https://file.ac/iPisUJahqEE/

Did a reboot through Recalbox Manager, then went to "Sound Settings", "Output Device" and i could choose between:
[0:3] HDA-INTEL - HDA INTEL HDMI + HDMI
[0:7] HDA-INTEL - HDA INTEL HDMI + HDMI
[0:8] HDA-INTEL - HDA INTEL HDMI + HDMI
[0:9] HDA-INTEL - HDA INTEL HDMI + HDMI
[1:0] HDA-INTEL - HDA INTEL PCH + ALC283

I selected the first one and then music in Emulation Station Menu worked.
Then started SNES Classic Kong again. Sound now works, but still no controls possible (had to reboot again through recalbox manager).

After reboot i started Kodi and in Kodi control and sound works

Then tested other Systems (Gameboy, NES) and no control possible
So control in Kodi works but not in Emulators.

Maybe something to report:
On rpi3b+, on starts, all is ok, ES feets the whole screen.
Running Kodi from here is ok, all is working great here.
But returning from Kodi to ES crops the screen (all is working, but the resolution is a lot smaller and some parts on the corners are not displayed).
Rebooting ES fixes the bug...

[Substring]

@joinski thank you for the feedback!

Regarding sound, that's not a "bug", the default device may not be the right one on PCs

For your controller stuff, i'm suprised ... Can you make the support archive AFTER returning to the emulator ? You'd need to killall retroarch on SSH. Thank you

[Substring]

@0x77696e can you tell me more about your monitor + support archive ? I haven't experienced such behaviour with Kodi

You mean while running a Game?
I just started Classic Kong again and while in Game i made the support archive:

Then did the "killall retroarch" on SSH and made a support archive again:

Hope this helps

If you need further help/tests, please let me know.
