Testers wanted: major system upgrade (Pi3b+, KODI 17 and much more ...)

@substring @olivierdroid92
I have already solved the problem was the recalbox.conf file, which would be corrupt, I deleted it and remapped the gamepad.

Thanks for your help.

@substring I'm running on a Pi3 (no plus), audio_pwm_mode it's actually disabled.
But I've tried both, enable and disabled and none is working...

#To get better sound through the composite output, enable the experimental audio driver for the raspberry pi
#audio_pwm_mode=2

If I leave audio on (dtparam=audio=on), I get this issue that whenever I get audio everything seems to slowdown, if I disable audio (#dtparam=audio=on) games seems to go double speed... ff8 100fps, etc.

I've got a multiboot noobs SDCard, if I boot on Raspbian everything is working perfectly, so it's not a Pi3 issue.

I'll leave the full config.txt here:

OK, I've continued testing and my assuptions are confirming one by one, as I told in an anterior post I was using a CRT-TV.

When audio was on I suffered half-speed or worse, when audio was off, double-speed.

So I thought maybe had something to do with analog output (composite audio for CRTs) and sound sincronization.
So I just unplugged everything and went to my HD monitor (1080p) and tried to run the pi there...
Everything worked perfectly, some minor slowdown on the zoom effect on ES when running a game (but something minor) and boot-up videos seemed a bit slow (but something minor, or maybe it's just me).
Anyway games worked perfectly at fullspeed.

So If I'm the only one having this issue maybe it's because I'm the only one testing with a CRT-TV, please check it out, thanks!

I think there's something wrong with audio output (composite) and audio sincronization.

• I've noticed another bug, when I choose the shutdown option from ES menu, the pi got stuck on the screen that shows the tiny recalbox logo and the version number, and never goes to full shutdown, you know, when the video output seems to disconnect, it seems to get stuck. I don't know if this has been reported already.

Thanks for all your hard work!

@juakin thank you for the feedback. I've suggested you disable audio_pwm_mode, have you tried ?

For ES : yeah, known but, though i javen't had a clue on it yet. I believe it's ES somehow crashing, i've exprienced this on some boards, but not everytime ... But i'm on it

[Substring]

@betikito84 donyou still have thay faulty file ? I'd need to dig why it was causing such trouble

[Juakin]

@substring yes, I've tried both, disabled and enabled, but it doesn't solve the issue.

[Substring]

@juakin i'll check this, i have the cables and some CRT

@substring Salut !

J'ai une carte RPI3B+ je test si tu cherche encore des testeurs. J'ai aussi un Tinker Asus !

[noktambule]

@injall ben, y'a toujours besoin, y'a jamais trop d'avis ! Installe et dis nous tes impressions !

[Substring]

@juakin set audio_pwm_mode=0 and tadaaaaa

[Juakin]

@substring that worked perfectly, thank you very much!

It seems that the option "Refresh/update games list" makes ES crash too...
For some reason I've lost N64 scrape data and I'm having some problems scraping again...

[Substring]

@juakin remove the gamelist file. The option does work, your file must have been corrupted

[Injall]

Bonsoir,

Pour info suite à l'installation j'ai mis tous les BIOS ils sont au vert dans le manager mais, aucun jeux fonctionnent... Ai-je oublié quelque chose ?

[olivierdroid92]

@Injall
Can you please tell us wtich is not working ?
Do you have remapped your pad ? As tu assigné les boutons sur ta manette ?

[Juakin]

@substring that worked, thank you!

Hi

I wanted to download the image where the links are but apparently they are limited by time. Can they be updated? Or will a new version be uploaded?

[Substring]

@suriv new up to date beta version of the pi3 https://we.tl/t-oaFQNyWQuq

this update has been deployed, but the updgrade server is naughty and is not responding. I hope it will be back soon

[Substring]

New upgrade available : fixed arcade GPIO driver on pi3

Raspberry Pie 3 B+:
The picture on the FullHD TV is beyond the border of the screen.
