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

Hi, following emulators did not work in the latest beta version:
BLUEMSX - Returns to the menu
FMSX - Stop on a black screen
HATARI - Returns to the menu after error message

EDIT: RPI3 version

@choum I could try the bluetooth input lag performance on B and B+, could you tell me how you did to mesure it ?

[Choum]

@gaetan on putty :
hcitool con -> To list gamepad mac adress

You should see somthing like "ACL AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF handle 11 state 1 lm MASTER"

Then
l2ping AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
This will run a infinite ping on the gamepad each second.

[Gaetan]

@choum thanx ! Will try this

I am testing this beta version with the new Raspberry Pi 3 A + card, with some update of some files in the Boot.Tout partition working properly as its big brother Rpi 3 B +. WiFi is functional as well as bluetooth with 8Bitdo SFC30 Pro controller.
On the other hand, in spite of the modification in recalbox.conf of:
update = https: //review-507-b*mp-b-0jn0c0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com
the last update does not start.

[Gaetan]

Hi @simba51 ! It's interesting test. What did you modify in Boot to make it work ?

[simba51]

@gaetan
I replaced the files:
"Bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb"
"Bcm2710-rpi-3-b-plus.dtb"
"Bcm2710-rpi-cm3.dtb"
"Bootcode.bin"
"Fixup.dat"
"Start.elf"
by those of the boot of the last update of RASPBIAN "2018-11-13-Raspbian-stretch".
The first 3 files may not be required to replace I think. to test again on new installation.

@simba51 Thanx !

détail : recalbox manager affiche une mémoire à 495MB.
J'imagine qu'il faut juste actualiser cela.

I've measured internal bluetooth input lag with an Xbox one S gamedpad on both Rpi 3 and 3+*.

I did not notice any difference.
With 100 ping, mean is around 16ms with a min of 14min and a max of 27 in both case.

On the other hand I noticed a difference when I change the driver.
By moving from xpad to xpadneo, input lag goes from a mean of 16ms to a mean of 22ms (min of 19ms and max of 48ms, from 100 ping).

So I guess the difference observed by choum is due to software and not hardware. Have you tried this on a fresh install ?

*The tests were carried out with l2ping command on a blank installation of raspbian lite (last version: 2018-11-13), after a sudo apt-get update upgrade.

Sorry, wrong language :
I said : recalbox manager shows a memory at 495MB.
Seems to be just a small mistake

@oyyodams Hello la team et merci pour votre travail !
Je viens de flasher une carte fraiche sur ce nouveau build de beta 2018/11/12 pour tester le wifi. Problème toujours présent pour moi : une fois que je l'active, je sélectionne mon SSID et je tape mon MDP mais impossible de se connecter.
J'ai aussi essayé en mettant directement les infos dans le recalbox.conf mais j'ai le même résultat. Du coup, je suis revenu en cable.

[paradadf]

@vincent-84 no mistake. The rest ist reserved for the GPU.

Hello,
Tested on PI3b+ with 8Bit Do FC30 controllers.
Wifi doesn't work.
Remapping FC30 failed.

[toniosj]

ShareDevice=NETWORK on 3b+ doesnt work.

ShareDevice=NETWORK on 3b+ doesnt work.

same here... I posted to other threads because I can't get it worked... folders, users and command should be right.

If this is a bug that would be "good". Because I tried so much to get it worked.

[toniosj]

@moguai my shared folder works fine with a pi3 stable recalbox. On my Pi3b+ the same shared folder and configuration dont work on beta recalbox.

@OyyoDams

I understand better why, during my tests with the new Rpi 3 A + with the installation of my image recalbox beta of 08/18/18, the update of 12/11/18 was not made. Updates can not be done now?

[OyyoDams]

Hi friends,

First of all, upgrade link is fixed. But that's not all! We've just released a new version of the beta, with some improvements:

• Many fixes on ES and less memory consumption
• Better handle of memory between GPU and CPU, so now PSP games should launch really better
• Zipped WHDL support
• Default resolution fix on mupen

There are still some work to do:

• Keyboard bug in ES
• Auto pad configuration
• Kodi b*mp
• etc.

We're working on it
