      My version: "RB EMULATIONSTATION V 507-B*MP-BUI (86B655AC) 28480032 RPI3 2018/08/22 22:54:50"

      My errors:

      • the unstable wifi connection mentioned by user wilfrid.
      • when I update the gamelist, it hangs somehow at the end of the process. When I reboot or switch off from recalbox, it hangs almost always and then I have to do soft reset or soft switch off by using a raspberry pi app from my smartphone that sends a reboot or shutdown signal.
      • when I copy a snes rom through samba network and reboot raspberry using my app, then I lose all the scrapped info of snes and I just see the list of roms with no artwork or infos. It's tedious to scrap again and again, so I don't scrap anymore. I didn't have this problem with other systems, maybe it has been a random situation of corrupt copy through samba network...
      • when I enter a rom and I get the "zoom in" effect in the artwork image in emulationstation, I can barely see a tiny delay in the movement of the image a couple of times, so maybe the graphics of new 3b+ still doesn't have the 100% optimized driver, just like the wifi.
      • when it is idle in emulationstation menus, it reaches 66ºC after a while (room temp about 25ºC). When I check via ssh the top command, the only process consuming cpu is emulationstation (9%). The raspberry is just connected via hdmi to a full hd 1920x1080p 22" tv and a buffalo snes pad.

      My custom changes:

      • I manually disabled with chmod -x some services that I don't need from /etc/init.d: S02splash, S24lircdmod S25hyperion S25lircd S31sixad S32bluetooth S92steamcontroller S92virtualgamepads
      • I enabled custom shaders for the roms

      Thanks to all people putting effort on this release!

        I disabled both the recalbox web manager and kodi from the corresponding emulation station menu options, and now it is working better. I think the recalbox web manager was colliding with the stopped virtual gamepad service. Now temp seems to stay at 62ºC when idle, and emulationstation stays on 5% cpu use. The "zoom" effect when entering a rom seems to be more fluent now.

          @gaetan Hello Gaetan, I've tried lots of ways of making updates with your message, and i 've been forced to format my sd card after each updates. When i listen creators speaking about the Recalbox speaking of the way to make easier the access to such programs, it mahes me dream...

            @cedrickm You need to acces to the Webmanager

            Then go to recalbox.conf

            Then find the line :
            updates.type=stable

            and change it to :
            updates.type=https://review-507-b*mp-b-0jn0c0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com

            Hit save button

                @cedrickm check if you have an "/" after the line.
                And so delete it.

                    No sound on HDMI output until I unmute SPDIF on alsamixer (TERM=xterm alsamixer).

                      @janbaunooo maybe you still have enabled the standard update line? check if you still have this line:
                      updates.type=stable
                      and if so, then put a # as the first char of the line, to comment it out:
                      #updates.type=stable

                      By the way, I think the version you have is already the last one, so you won't get any update at this moment anyway.

                        @tonificante I've checked and there are no other updates.type line.
                        I have a doubt about my test procedure: because it was more convenient, no need to restart with each change, I assumed that executing the /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-upgrade.sh script was doing the same thing as the automatic update check ... but by reading the script content, I don't see how it could work by specifying a URL instead of the update type.

                        @Substring Thanks for your works, outputs by HDMI work well now on my hardware 😉

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

                                Time to thril

                                You need to edit your recalbox.conf and set updates.type to:

                                1. First update with: https://review-master-slwsz0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com
                                2. Then update with https://review-507-b*mp-b-0jn0c0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com

                                A pi3 SD card works on a Pi3b+. Though, I know some people don't have a pi3 anymore, so here is a direct link to the img file. There is no need to make any upgrade on this img, but still, set the updates type to the 2nd link to get updates during the beta. If you update while on the stable branch, you'll simply brick your Recalbox. Now you're warned. I'm pretty sure some smart @$$ will spread this image forgetting its beta state, those people are making a big mistake.

                                Viens par là, c'est pareil !

                                  Does anybody know about the RetroFlags' NesPi safe shutdown script? https://github.com/RetroFlag/retroflag-picase Is it compatible with the current upgrade or it is need to be updated?
