      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 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.

        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...

                  -> 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

                          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...

                                          Hi all,

                                          We're now in a migration process to prepare the future release, and the git branch for the beta has been merged, that's why the update link is down. Sorry but for now no update is possible, we'll keep you informed.
