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

@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.

Bonjours, j'ai en ma possession une manette 8bitdo n30 pro et je rencontre un problème(2 même), lorsque je configure les touches, le bouton A et B sont inverser, et lorsque je suit en jeu il met impossible de le quitter !
Je suit sur la dernière version bêta?

Edit même avec mes manettes xbox one élite et celle de la one x en filaire les boutons A et B sont inverser et impossible de quitter les jeux !

[Marco Polo]

La c'est bon j'ai réussi enfin, sauf que la manette ne marche plus dans les jeux !!

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!

@chris256 Je continue à avancer... Je viens de tester avec une autre carte graphique (Nvidia GTX 550). Toujours pas de son au départ en choisissant la sortie HDMI mais lorsque j'utilise l'instruction alsamixer et que j'enlève mute qui est activé au départ via la touche m là 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 était de jouer à la n64, j'aimerais vraiment réussir à faire marcher la ATI. Si un développeur passe par là et peut m'aider ? À moins qu'il soit mieux de créer un nouveau topic dédié à ça ? (je me doute que la priorité est au raspberry mais je ne suis peut-être pas le seul dans ce cas sur X86).

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

PS : en désespoir de cause j'ai essayé avec batocera mais j'ai exactement le même souci avec la carte ATI.

Enfin une solution à mon souci. Un ami m'a donné une nouvelle carte mère. Toujours le même souci de son avec la carte ATI. Par contre, cette nouvelle carte mère a une sortie optique. J'ai dû passer par alsamixer car j'avais une nouvelle fois mute sur la partie SP/DIF. Note aux développeurs : si c'est possible, peut-être faudrait-il tout mettre tout en unmute par défaut ?

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

• s'il y a un favori dans un des systèmes, lorsque je rentre dedans avec ES, ES plante (je peux le relancer via le manager). Je précise que mes jeux sont sur réseau et que je suis en gamelist only. J'ai pas trop envie d'enlever les favoris car pour le moment, ces jeux sont partagés avec mon RPI qui est sur la version stable. Donc s'il y a une solution temporaire à ce problème de favoris, je prends.
• pour la PlayStation, seul le core PCSX_REARMED fonctionne. Lorsque les cores MEDNAFEN_PSX_HW ou MEDNAFEN_PSX, je suis renvoyé à l'écran d'accueil. Je précise que les jeux sont en .iso. Le problème peut-il venir de là ?

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.

[serpi]

@sergio-durán
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.

[Jesper Ammitzbøll]

There is a issue with the update server right now. every time ill try t update. my pi 3b+ with https://review-507-b*mp-b-0jn0c0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com its bricking my system !!!!

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...

[chris256]

@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 !

[lhari84]

@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.

[Sergio Durán]

@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

[serpi]

Great. Just reflashed the sd card with the full rpi3 image, only to see, that this is also already the latest beta (with non working scraper).
Does anybody has the image of the version before, so that I can reflash this?

Thanks in advance...

J'ai l’émulateur Atari ST(le seul émulateur qui me résiste ) qui ne fonctionne pas, j'ai un écran noir, puis retour a la liste des jeux.

L'Amiga de même, il ne fonctionnais pas, sauf que j'ai réussi a le faire fonctionner, mais la pour l'Atari ST que pouic
Sous retroarch on fait comment pour choisir sont core sur recalbox? Sur pc pas de problème je ses mais la...

[chris256]

Bonsoir à tous ! Je suis sur la beta sur X86 et je viens d’avoir une proposition de MAJ mais quand je la lance, rien ne se télécharge et j’ai un message d’erreur. PS : je suis sur le bon canal de MAJ pour la beta

[Marco Polo]

@chris256 De même !

[OyyoDams]

Alors ne faites pas les mises à jour!

[Snipy]

j'ai aussi un message d'erreur, des infos sur cette futur maj?
