      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...

          @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

              You mean while running a Game?
              I just started Classic Kong again and while in Game i made the support archive:
              https://file.ac/yMlS9BDDl4c/

              Then did the "killall retroarch" on SSH and made a support archive again:
              https://file.ac/csmWp_fHcug/

              Hope this helps 😉

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

                @joinski The second is what I need !

                As you have a NUC, does wifi work ?

                @abunille you have the same kind of configuration as joinski (NUC + DS3) : do you have the same problems as him ?

                  Today im testing a clean install.
                  The autoconfig PS3 is how @joinski said above, but after remapping i see no errors at the moment.
                  Testing snes, psx, gamecube, neogeo right now. All ok

                  Remapping:
                  Problems with mapping L2 and R2. you have to press the button "only a little bit and keep it back" (quickly).
                  With L3 or R3 Buttons no problems.

                  Sound i cant test at the moment.
                  No Network over Wifi at the moment. troubleshooting in progress 😉

                    Did not test wifi yet.
                    Will do, when i am at home again in the evening (i'm at work right now).

                    @abunille

                    What PS3 Controller do you have exactly?
                    I have several Original Sony Sixaxis and DualShock3 Controllers.
                    Will do a clean/fresh install later and test my other PS3-Controllers.
                    I also have Original MS Xbox360 Controllers and can test them also.
                    And i have an 8bitdo SF30 Bluetooth Controller, which i will test also.

                      @joinski oh do triggers get mapped like axis ? If yes, i'll try to have a look at drivers and see if i can hack them to be turned into buttons (just like with xbox360).

                      Anyway, if you failed a mapping, use the dpad to move up and remap (this is explained at the top ofnthe window)

                          @Substring Here are the things I found :

                          (Raspberry Pi 3b+ , fresh install, Sandisk SD, genuine PS3 controller)

                          • When configuring the pad the first time, L2 was Axis 6. Then i remapped it and it work normaly.

                          • I don't know if it was before, but when I hash the roms, it stops when ES enter in sleeping mode (5 minutes)

                          • I rejoined a netplay game that is showing a blue indication, the first time it goes back to ES then black screen :
                            https://file.ac/qbv8ww0rJmU/
                            then hotkey+start, goes back to ES and black screen again :
                            https://file.ac/eMqUMrt6MYI/
                            At this point I had to restart the Pi

                          The second time, I rejoined a netplay game that is showing a blue indication, black screen again :

                          At this point I had to restart the Pi

                          • I did test lightgun on B+ and it's working like on regular B

                          • Also, I notice that there is no improvement with 3d games, I'm not waiting for miracles that the xu4 can't even do, but it seems to me that it's even running slower than my regular B at 1300mhz.
                            B+ is 1400mhz right ? So it should be at least the same.
                            Tested on difficult games to run like Tekken 6 and Gods of War on PSP (I know they can't run well, but they are good for testing)
                            The worst was Dead Or Alive on Dreamcast, it was clearly slower and had a strange behaviour. The time for fights is set to O secondes, so impossible to play (Time Up immediatly)

                          Controllers : Ps3 dualshock, 8bitdo SFC30 pro, Snes wired controller

                            Already reported by joinski and abunille, see my previous comment

                            I tjink this was the case before. I don't think it stops, just the screen is frozen. Why do you believe the hasing process is frozen ?

                            I'll read the logs back home

                            3D games are a mix of CPU and GPU. Hard to tell which one is more efficient than the other. But slow fba games like killing blade should run a little better (even the PGM logo at boot doesn't run at full speed). Anything arcade is 99% CPU dependant

                              @substring Yes, for the hash it maybe just frozen screen but I can't say.
                              Juste made a few Netplay tests, I was playing with Lionsquall and it was difficult to connect, it seems that the snes cores are not b*mped as the regular B

                                  So it could be the reason of the core errors ? Will you b*mp it in a beta update ?

                                  Pi3 is 1.2GHz vs 1.4GHz pi3b+

                                  Yes, I this I know, but it seems that my Pi3 overclocked at 1.3GHz run faster that the piB+ at 1.4GHz, I will investigate 🙂

                                  Also, I got a black screen when refreshing the gamelist, after adding sms roms :

                                  and return to gamelist after launching a PSP game (certainly the same issue as with the regular B) :

                                      @substring I'm using an Artlii (video projector) with prefered mode "mode 39: 1360x768 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:85MHz progressive"/DMT but it also supports 1080p/CEA
                                      I dont understand why it fails when returning from Kodi but not if I restart ES from command line or at first boot.
                                      For the tests I am using the archive listed on top of the topic (the wetransfer one).

                                          I don't understand this step
                                          do I have to change updates.type=stable to one of these links?

                                            You need to edit your recalbox.conf and set updates.type to:
                                            First update with: https://review-master-slwsz0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com
                                            Then update with https://review-507-b*mp-b-0jn0c0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com

                                            So first update with updates.type=https://review-master-slwsz0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com
                                            When the first update is complete, make a new one whith this link
                                            updates.type= https://review-507-b*mp-b-0jn0c0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com
