      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.

          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!

          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...

                      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.
                      Le TOS a le bon checksum et les roms sont en .ST(tester plusieurs)
                      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...

                        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

                                  Hi all, hello dear devs 🙂 ,

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

                                    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.

                                          Maybe I found another problem: I would like to set up an IR remote control for Recalbox and KODI. When I try to save/record the IR commands the "lircd" deamon does not start. If I try to start it manually, I get the error message "segmentation fault". Don't know if it's a problem with the beta system discussed here!?

                                          Here is my howto: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Infrarot-Fernbedienung-für-die-recalbox-(DE)

                                          thanks

                                            @oyyodams Nice, I will be waiting for it, although if the highly anticipated (at least for me) feature of swapping Ok and Cancel back to normal is added to ES I would be even more hyped for it, even without it I am happy and inpatient for it, thank you everyone
