[xavier83bruno]

@substring i have download the img, work fine on pi3 b+, but it s says i have a new update, if i install this update, my pi3 b+ doesnt run.

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.

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?

hello,
I have install the first beta on my rpi 3b+ all works but I have update and black screen with yellow lightning
after new freshly built image on a Pi3b+

• wifi is now really unstable, no problem in ethernet (the unstable wifi connection already mentioned, I know ) I have both wifi AC and N
• my 8bitdo pad(sf30 ans sn30) in bluetooth works in game but in emulstation stop randomly, I need to stop it and restart
• I can't access in SSH (rpi3B+ wifi or ethernet)... but I can acces via web broswer

Hi,
so far recalbox runs really good on my pi3b+.
But i found a small bug related to recalbox.conf.
When I uncomment "system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET" everything works.
It looks like this:
;system.power.switch=PIN56PUSH # https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN)
system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET # https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN)
;system.power.switch=PIN356PUSHRESET # https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN)
But when I restart the pi and open the conf again all lines are replaced by the uncomment line like:
system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET # https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN)
system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET # https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN)
system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET # https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN)

@schlegel11 that‘s an old known bug... it doesn‘t affect the functionality of the script though.

[schlegel11]

@paradadf
Thats true it doesn't affect it

@cyberbad Hi, i've the same problem ... Have you finded an issue ?

It seems the hashlib function of kodi/python does so work, so a lot of addons and when you index your Music Collection it crashes. (then it does not start anymore without deleting .kodi)

and so on ...

Also it seems the Steam Controller is not working at current stage.

Here are my found problems:

• Recalbox crashes sometimes at hash calculation for Netplay
• Kodi doesn't start (Black screen and recalbox returns to the home screen)
• Restart doesn't work

cheers

Hello everyone:
I have updated my Raspberry Pi 3 b +, to the latest beta version, and I have several problems:

1. It does not connect to the internet or via wifi or lan.
2. Do not connect my PS4 or PS3 bloetooch controller.
3. Every time I restart I get the message that Recalbox is already updated.

Thank you all and forgive me since I am Spanish and English is not very good for me.

I have also tried various emulators and ROM's but none has started (NES, SNES, GG, GB, ...).

Webif also doesn't work.

@starmagoo Remap your controller.

Thanks for this rotten update!

black and lightning screen up and right, update launched from the menu...

I had 100gb of rom...

[Gaetan]

@hoyohoyo before updating you have to change the recolbox.conf as it's said in the first post.
If you don't, you'll brick your recalbox. If you do it like it should be done, you'll have a normal update and everything will be ok.
