        Hello.
        Since I'm new here I first of all have to say, thanks al lot for this wonderful piece of software 🙂

        I installed this beta Version on my new rpi3b+ and so far, after reading this whole thread (well, most of it) i got most of my problems sorted out, most importantly, my 8bitdo sf30 pro is working now (had the problem that it did not work in retroarch, like mentioned above, fixed by mapping the l2/r2 buttons again).
        Overclocking seems to work too.
        So here are my unsolved problems:

        1. The biggest thing is, Retroachievements isn't working. I tried putting in my name/password in menu as well as in recalbox.conf.
          It says, when starting a game, that I'm logged in with my username, but then says that this game has no achievements.
          I tried it across several different systems (snes, nes, megadrive, etc.), with lots of different roms and romversions, but its the same with all of them. Is there something I'm missing? Or does it not work as of now?

        2. Next thing is, i can choose favorites, they then show up in the main system select screen, but after a restart, they are gone.

        3. I cannot access the emulators menu in n64 and neogeo. I can access it with hotkey+b in snes, megadrive, nes, pcengine, even psp. This seems rather important, since most n64 games i tried so far seem to need some tinkering with the settings.

        I don't know if these are related to the betaversion, since I havent used other version before.

        Best regards 🙂

          Je ne sais pas si c'est lié avec la beta (quoi que je n'avais pas ce problÚme avec la version stable) lorsque j'utilise le rewind il arrive fréquemment de ne peux plus pouvoir rembobiner. Un message m'indique "reached if rewind buffer"

            @chris256 Je continue Ă  avancer... Je viens de tester avec une autre carte graphique (Nvidia GTX 550). Toujours pas de son au dĂ©part en choisissant la sortie HDMI mais lorsque j'utilise l'instruction alsamixer et que j'enlĂšve mute qui est activĂ© au dĂ©part via la touche m lĂ  ça fonctionne, et sans coupure de son comme avec la carte ATI. Par contra la carte Nvidia a de bien moins bonnes performances que la ATI et comme mon objectif Ă©tait de jouer Ă  la n64, j'aimerais vraiment rĂ©ussir Ă  faire marcher la ATI. Si un dĂ©veloppeur passe par lĂ  et peut m'aider ? À moins qu'il soit mieux de crĂ©er un nouveau topic dĂ©diĂ© Ă  ça ? (je me doute que la prioritĂ© est au raspberry mais je ne suis peut-ĂȘtre pas le seul dans ce cas sur X86).

            En tout cas, Ă  ceux qui n'auraient pas de son en HDMI sur X86, tentez alsamixer.

            PS : en dĂ©sespoir de cause j'ai essayĂ© avec batocera mais j'ai exactement le mĂȘme souci avec la carte ATI.

              Hi all, hello dear devs 🙂 ,

              I have just updated my image from 507-b*mp-bui (4ad393af) 36325817 rpi3 2018/11/12 18:53:18 to 507-b*mp-bui (361600e2) 38422234 rpi3 2018/11/29 21:24:06

              I have tried both on a rpi3 as well as rpi3b+

              In both cases, I have two bugs to report that didn't appear on the rpi3 with the stable version:

              • Unable to save games in favorite. Just the pharaoh game is there for some reason, but unable to save any other game.

              • I have saved a second SSID and passwords on the .conf file, but it doesn't connect.

              I have a few questions:

              • How can I help besides what's on the first post, i.e. use it normally until hitting a bug? I am not an OS developer, so I can mostly do testing. Unfortunately I don't have access to the stable version to use on my rpi3 as it's used for another project, so I'll be only on the rpi3b+ with the dev version.

              • The shown RAM memory is half of what it should be:

                # cat /proc/meminfo 
                MemTotal:         507292 kB
                

                is it because half the ram is used elsewhere? I don't recall if that was the case with the stable version...

              • I haven't seen the following question in the topic, which is surprising so I hope I won't get kicked-banned 😛 : Do you have an ETA for the stable version release?

              Thanks for all!

              edit: I see someone else reported 3 hours before me the issue with the list of favorite games not being saved upon restart.
              edit2: forgot to add that I used a PS4 pad with Bluetooth: works flawlessly!

                concerning the n64 emulator menu, it was the same with the stable version. The only thing that worked was hotkey+start to quit.

                  @hyamanieu yeah, forgot to mention that exiting the game works, but thanks for info.

                  so, is there another way to alter the n64 settings?
                  read somewhere, that it is possible to change retroarch menu in game to some xmb, which should work then, but i have no clue...

                  concerning the shown memory that s mentioned 2 posts above, mayby the rest is used for video ram?
                  but cannot confirm what is shown in my recalbox, not at home atm.

                        I know this is not a bug report but could you add a swap A and B button option in the ES menu? I own many SNES layout pads (a Hori pokken pro pad, a PSP with FuSa Gamepad, a Wiimote and soon a Hori fighting commander for the SNES classic) so I would preffer to have A as accept

                          Hi,

                          finally I found time to test (latest) Beta on my Pi3 B+, fresh install.
                          Most things look to work fine, here feedback list of the ones that don't:

                          • (Internal) WiFi works only sometimes. Really don't know why most time it doesn't connect, but sometimes it does.
                            Maybe it's connected always, but after only long time when system rebooted - I have to further check out behavior. - While I'm writing this text, it suddenly connected again by itself 😉 - And it seems as soon as it's connected, it won't lose connection anymore as long as system isn't rebooted.
                          • When I enable "Security", Recalbox Manager is still dead. - Fortunately at least when disabling Security, it's working again. - At old Version it seemed to be dead forever afterwards 😉
                          • 8Bitdo SF30 Pro Gamepad only worked after remapping as described already in this post. And with taking care L-R buttons are mapped as buttons instead of axis.
                          • When searching bluetooth controllers, I sometimes have a strange view with many device details shown, instead of the compact list of devices. Anyway, already had this issue in latest stable version and when I scroll to the end, there is the compact view and connecting controllers work fine though. Have to mention that I saw this behavior on stable only with external bluetooth dongle, with beta, I have it with Pi3 B+ internal bluetooth.

                          In my point of view there is not too much left to releasing a "stable" version for Pi3 B+ 🙂

                          Thanks again for this great software!

                            En tout cas, Ă  ceux qui n'auraient pas de son en HDMI sur X86, tentez alsamixer.

                            PS : en dĂ©sespoir de cause j'ai essayĂ© avec batocera mais j'ai exactement le mĂȘme souci avec la carte ATI.

                            Enfin une solution Ă  mon souci. Un ami m'a donnĂ© une nouvelle carte mĂšre. Toujours le mĂȘme souci de son avec la carte ATI. Par contre, cette nouvelle carte mĂšre a une sortie optique. J'ai dĂ» passer par alsamixer car j'avais une nouvelle fois mute sur la partie SP/DIF. Note aux dĂ©veloppeurs : si c'est possible, peut-ĂȘtre faudrait-il tout mettre tout en unmute par dĂ©faut ?

                            Mon problÚme de son réglé (enfin s'il y a une solution pour le problÚme Audio HDMI je suis bien sûr preneur), voici quelques retours de bugs :

                            • s'il y a un favori dans un des systĂšmes, lorsque je rentre dedans avec ES, ES plante (je peux le relancer via le manager). Je prĂ©cise que mes jeux sont sur rĂ©seau et que je suis en gamelist only. J'ai pas trop envie d'enlever les favoris car pour le moment, ces jeux sont partagĂ©s avec mon RPI qui est sur la version stable. Donc s'il y a une solution temporaire Ă  ce problĂšme de favoris, je prends.
                            • pour la PlayStation, seul le core PCSX_REARMED fonctionne. Lorsque les cores MEDNAFEN_PSX_HW ou MEDNAFEN_PSX, je suis renvoyĂ© Ă  l'Ă©cran d'accueil. Je prĂ©cise que les jeux sont en .iso. Le problĂšme peut-il venir de lĂ  ?

                            Sinon encore bravo pour tout le travail accompli !!

                            PS : c'est mieux français ou anglais dans ce thread ? Je peux traduire si c'est utile.

                              How can I go back from the last update to the "full" beta image without complete re-writing the sd card (I'm on pi 3b+)?

                              The not working scraper drives me nuts and I would like to use the version before, where the scraper was working without problems.

                                Couldn't you just reconfigure the controller the way you want it and so swap the buttons?
                                I only have a ps3 and xbox controller connected and there I can configure just any button to anything, I would think, this should also be possible for your controller.

                                    WiFi issue suddenly seems to be gone, nothing changed...!

                                    Now other problems occur:

                                    • When opening fba_libretro and snes gamelist, emulationstation crashes, have to restart it from shell afterwards. Also happens when opening favorites.
                                      I can exclude a problem with gamelists, I've copied them from my stable version, where everything runs fine and no error in es_log.txt

                                    • On the other hand I find a new error in in es_log.txt: "Invalid DateTime value 1991" (and more with other dates). Should not be reason for crashing emulationstation, because it also happens at working gamelists. Just seems that a date format is not supported anymore that was in latest stable...

                                      • 8Bitdo SF30 Pro Gamepad only worked after remapping as described already in this post. And with taking care L-R buttons are mapped as buttons instead of axis.
                                      • When searching bluetooth controllers, I sometimes have a strange view with many device details shown, instead of the compact list of devices. Anyway, already had this issue in latest stable version and when I scroll to the end, there is the compact view and connecting controllers work fine though. Have to mention that I saw this behavior on stable only with external bluetooth dongle, with beta, I have it with Pi3 B+ internal bluetooth.

                                      In my point of view there is not too much left to releasing a "stable" version for Pi3 B+ 🙂

                                      Thanks again for this great software!

                                      WiFi issue suddenly seems to be gone, nothing changed...!

                                      Now other problems occur:

                                      • When opening fba_libretro and snes gamelist, emulationstation crashes, have to restart it from shell afterwards. Also happens when opening favorites.
                                        I can exclude a problem with gamelists, I've copied them from my stable version, where everything runs fine and no error in es_log.txt

                                      • On the other hand I find a new error in in es_log.txt: "Invalid DateTime value 1991" (and more with other dates). Should not be reason for crashing emulationstation, because it also happens at working gamelists. Just seems that a date format is not supported anymore that was in latest stable...

                                      -> Second case is because of <releasedate>1991</releasedate> in game list, seems to need full date now, like <releasedate>19910101T000000</releasedate>. But isn't the reason for crash mentioned in case one!

                                      -> For WiFi I almost can confirm that it sometimes takes a few minutes to reconnect, when recalbox is rebooted. No idea why but then it works fine.

                                      Some more questions to testers:
                                      Could it be that there's still some more input lag with internal Bluetooth of Pi3 B+, compared to external dongle on Pi3 B?
                                      Did anybody notice a performance improvement with Pi3 B+ compared to Pi3 B (both non overclocked)? For me it looks like performance in game is quite the same...

                                        @lhari84 Hi ! I had the same problem of crash (see above). Apparently, it crashes only in systems that have favorites. Removing favorites make it work. Of course, not ideal solution but working until the next beta... Hope this helps !

                                          @chris256 Hi, thanks. I Just activated my stable Pi3 B again till next Beta is out.
                                          Then I‘ll try or maybe it‘s gone then. The strange thing is, that some systems with favorites don‘t crash emulationstation on my side. Just the mentioned two + favorites itself.

                                            @serpi you can but the change would take effect in RetroArch too making me also change the controller options for the core but then I could not use my XBOX 360 pad
