3. 8bitdo SFC30 Pro : Input lag
   As well i still have light input lag on SFC30Pro with internal bluetooth which is enough for RPG games but for Mario / SFII turbo millimeter gameplay its still not satisfying (i've ordered a BT dongle on the recalstore to try to fix that)

First thing to do is desactivate wifi on your pi , you'll see a significant difference with your input lag

I would suggest to use a dedicated bluetooth-dongle anyway.
Because with my Pi3 even with disabled wifi i noticed a minimal delay.
With a bluetooth-dongle the delay was gone. Also the range is way better.
But this also depends on the bluetooth-dongle, because i once had a dongle, where the range was bad and it also felt like there was lag.

@joinski In my experience I can't say if a BT dongle will help, but some says yes so you could give it a try if you have one.
Anyway, with BT you'll always have latency, the only way to avoid it is to use wired controller.

@gaetan

Under some circumstances bluetooth can have less input lag, then wired connection, see here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/RocketLeague/comments/8wvf9u/controller_input_lag_comparison_more_info_in_the/

But as already mentioned, it depends of the BT-Dongle, some are better, some ar worse.
It also depends of the used Controller. Some Bluetooth-Controllers do have more and some have less input-lag.
8bitdo Controllers for example (but there was a firmware-upgrade released, which reduced the input-lag a bit).

Hi everybody,

I have this problems with the beta running on Rpi3 B+:

• No sound on background music in menu (Pop-up appears while playing a song, in game sound and music is working...in HDMI)
• Global speed is very slower when using the composite output: sound and video are very slow but "works", no weird things in the video or audio signal (@3fps it's not esay to say)
• Wifi connection doesn't launch at start, have to manually shutdown and reboot wifi (not a big deal for me)

Everything else works great in HDMI with a PS4 wired controller.

--> If somebody has a plan to make the speed back with the composite output it would be great !

@mamouchka9 hdmi sound : it does work, but you can force it

Sluggish on composite video : edit config.txt and remove the audio_pwm_mode (inmay have scrambled the words)

[james-lord]

@mamouchka9 I also have the reboot for wifi issue on my pi 3+ for me it is an annoyance as I@m using a NESpi case and iot looks awful with the flap open to use the ethernet port

[james-lord]

ALso as an update for anyone trying to get he xbox one pad to connect wirelessly: don't bother trying Microsoft deliberately (?) broke non official pairing in the last update stating it was a bug that it had happened in the first place!

[Choum]

Is it possible to force 5Ghz wifi on a 3+ with this beta ?

Used Rufus on windows to write image to SD card. Connected x-arcade tankstick and started raspberry Pi 3B+ and got booted out of games I would try to load. Re-mapped controller using controller settings > configure a controller and still has issues.

Connected a pandora arcade controller and ran the 'configure a controller' and had no problems loading games. Link to device below
(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y61WDG3/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

I'm assuming this is an issue with the x-arcade tankstick but I figured I would bring it up. I have attached a link for the support file. If I need to do anything to test let me know.

Raspberry Pi model: 3b+
Recalbox version (build) : Beta Version
Hardware (Micro SD, Power Supply, etc.): 32GB Samsung, CanaKit 2.5Amp Power Supply
Controller(s): x-arcade tankstick (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000ST0184/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

@shinomen Well that didn't take long. I had configured only player one on my x-arcade stick. I got the great idea to go ahead and configure both player 1 and 2 and low and behold it's working! Sorry but thanks.

[darksouljedi]

hello great job, I update to this version.
I want to have custom GPIO.
Can you send to me how to configure recalbox.conf ?

Thanks

[Gaetan]

@darksouljedi Here is the wiki, you may find your answer there

I tries to update the beta version and it crashed horribly, then everytime I tried to launch recalbox I obtained a black screen with a few lines of error...

I want to try and reinstall Recalbox again but I want to make a Multiboot system (NOOBS) the problem is that Network install it's not working... It says somthing like It can't find the file on the server...

Could this issue be solved?

PD: I'm using the latest NOOBS that incluided Recalbox.

[olivierdroid92]

@Juakin
The easiest way to try a BETA version is to make some run and trials from a fresh copye image. I do not think a dual boot will be a good option.

[Juakin]

I understand that, but I would like to restablish the non beta version, but It doesn´t seems to download from NOOBS, it can't reach the server... It seems the file is unavailable

[BertL1005]

When is the stable version for pi 3b+ ready to download ??

[Gaetan]

@bertl1005 Not yet, wait and see

[daz]

hi ive tried this image & when i try to load games from a memory stick it try's to load then just goes back to the main screen is anyone else having the same problems from external memory

[Gaetan]

@daz did you remap your controller ?

[darksouljedi]

@gaetan
thanks for the link. But it only explain how to activate the GPIO map.
I want to change the GPIO map
I try this in recalbox.conf
controllers.gpio.args=map=5

And in mk_arcade_joystick.conf
options mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=5 gpio=13,19,26,21,22,20,16,12,6,27,6,17

but the nothing works after rebooting recalbox.

Thanks for your help
