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

[diamantis42]

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 ?

[tombhadAC]

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.

rpi3b +
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.

[Substring]

@hoyohoyo have you read the very first post stating this is experimental, and you should do this on a backup SD ?

[glukkkk]

C'mon, testers! Hurry up My Pi3+ board inside the NesPi Case is ready and waiting for you!

P.S. I'm joking, you do everything great! Make the release build as much stable as possible.

[CedrickM]

@noktambule Thank you for your help, i managed to start the recalbox again with the update. Nevertheless, i still try to add roms, and they did not appear in my recalbox "interface" whereas it appear in my recalbox roms directory. Has someone an idea ?

[Simon DA SILVA]

Hello,

I just installed Recalbox beta on my 3b + but I have a problem, no game starts when I wander through the menus (out emulator confused), I tried several times, formatting cleanly (deleted partition, long formatting , etc.), if anyone has an idea to help me?

Thank you !

[Gaetan]

@simon-da-silva you have to remap your controller first

[Simon DA SILVA]

@gaetan yeah just after i wrote my question i,ve looked at that, it's work thx dude !

[Gaetan]

@simon-da-silva have fun

[cazeysan]

For everyone, if you want to do some serious tests on Recalbox for Raspberry Pi 3b+, you have to read the first post in this topic.
