        Sans discréditer le super travail des développeurs, il y a des alternatives au scrapping de l'ES. Elles sont pas mal du tout et comprennent tout un tas de fonctionnalités extra.

            @olivierdroid92 Thanks for getting back.
            I have the beta running quite smoothly for some weeks now.
            Only major issue right now: is there are temporary fix for the scraping problem? Would be nice to have box art for the games. But scraper does not work. A known issue in the forum and will surely be resolved in the stable version. But for now?

                @is_greqt For me following workflow helped. It was in stable, but I'm sure it works for beta too.

                1. Delete the file where all bluetooth devices are stored on network share:
                  \share\config\bluetooth\bluetooth.tar (don't know if path is 100% correct, but you'll find it!)
                2. Disconnect Pi from power supply. I know it's rude, but I found no other way. If you soft reboot, file deleted tar-file will recovered autmatically.
                3. Pair your 8Bitdo controller

                Unfortunately I had to send back my controller to seller though, because after some reboots of Recalbox controller suddenly didn't want to connect anymore and I had to do the same process again and again. - Really annoying.
                As it happend only with SF30 Pro I guess controller itself had failure. But anyway, mentioned workflow above is the only way for me to pair a 8bitdo controller again, which has lost its pairing for some reason. "Forget controllers" option in EmulationStation isn't enough.
                By the way my 8bitdo N30 Pro works nicely 🙂
                Hope this helps!

                Pi 4:
                Sony DualShock 4 (2nd gen), 8BitDo Pro 2, 8BitDo SF30 PRO, Retroflag SUPERPi 4 Case, Recalbox 9.0

                Pi Zero 2W:
                GPi Case 2W, Recalbox 9.0

                  I found a workaround for the scraper problem. For the beta for now, till the stable release comes out.
                  If you are interested hit me up.

                      EDIT: please forget about this. My search skills are terrible: I tried finding info before but couldn't see OyyoDams message above before reading the whole thread backwards. Please accept my apologies for the noise.

                      Hello,
                      I wanted to test the latest beta. I installed the latest stable via PINN (a NOOBS fork), changed the update source to the first URL in the guide, rebooted, updated when notified an update was available, rebooted again, changed the update source to the second URL, rebooted again. I was notified once more of an update being available, but when I try to launch the update, I get an error with no other indication of what went wrong.

                      Looking in preuprage.log, I can see recalbox can't get headers for boot.tar.xz, and indeed, whatever URL I try in the path of https://review-507-b*mp-b-0jn0c0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com/v1/upgrade/rpi3/boot.tar.xz I do get a 404. Is there a new URL that should be used instead ?

                      Thanks a bunch.

                      Regards,

                          Just a quick positive feedback: adding an own script in /share/system/custom.sh works flawlessly.

                            There seems to be some people who want the beta ready as a christmas gift.
                            So here is what I did to get everything scraped nice and shiny:

                            By the way I used the latest Beta Image on a Pi 3B + (Most N64 seems to run quite good-ish)

                            Setup:

                            • Get access to your recalbox via a FTP Tool (I used Cyberduck on a Mac) https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/acces-via-cyberduck-(FR) (French but you get the clue)

                            • Search for the Recalbox/Share/Roms folder and go to your system of choice.

                            • if not already there copy your roms to the folder

                            • restart your recalbox (or in this case only the emulationstation)

                            • now scrape your system as usual (start > scraper > scrape now….) maybe only select one system at a time to keep track.

                            • go back to your FTP, maybe reload. You will see there is now a folder (if it wansnt there already) called downloaded_images with all the images for the games in it.

                            • The problem is the gamelist.xml is missing which tells the system where to find the images and the other game info. Or it might be there and doesnt include the right data.

                            What you have to do now is to generate this xml file on your PC or Mac

                            • Credit to https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Scrape-your-games-with-your-PC-(EN)
                              But i did some things a bit different. Keep in mind I did this on a Mac. For PC this might be a bit different.

                            • Download the Binary of sselph scraper https://github.com/sselph/scraper/releases

                            • Make a Folder on your Desktop (name is not important but I call it ’dude’ for the hack of it) put the same roms in there as you put on the recalbox

                            • Copy the ‘scraper’ unix file from the sselph download in the same ’dude’ folder (I think its an .exe on PC)

                            • open Terminal type in ’cd’ and then a space and then you drag the ’dude’ folder also in the terminal. Now there should be ’cd the/exact/path/tothefolder/dude - press enter

                            • now you are in the folder but you need the path again so drag the ’dude’ folder path again in the terminal followed by (without a space)

                            /scraper -image_path="./downloaded_images/" -img_format=png -console_src=„gdb“

                            • press enter and wait.

                            • What you should get is again a folder with nice boxart in it and boy oh boy a nice little gamelist.xml file

                            • Now ignore the images and just copy the xml file via FTP into the system Folder you are working on, right there between all the roms. (not in the image Folder)

                            • Restart Recalbox

                            now you should have all the Infos and the pretty little Boxart in it.

                            Additional what you can do if you dont like the recalbox tryptich style of Images with Screenshot-Box-Logo you can experiment with downloading other Boxart with the sselph on your computer and replace the pngs in the downloaded_image folder. I used just screenshots I downloaded as follows. Replace the code line above with this

                            /scraper -image_path="./downloaded_images/" -img_format=png -console_src="ss" -max_width 800 -console_img="s"

                            Other codes you can use to personalize your scraping are listed here:
                            https://github.com/sselph/scraper/wiki
                            Under Command Line Flags

                            Hope that helps
                            Marry Christmas

                                  @zyphos there are a bunch of better and easier to use software for scrapping than the ES Scraper. IMO, the ES Scraper should be used as a last ressource. Take a look here:

                                  https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Scrapers-(EN)

                                  I’d recommend Skraper at this moment.
                                  You can easily scrape over the network with skraper, uxs and fastscraper (sselph’s scraper script) without the need of all the stuff you did.

                                  If your question was answered, please mark it as solved: Topic Tools -> Ask a question + Topic Tools -> Mark as Solved

                                    Skraper looks great but is still in Beta and not available for mac so far.
                                    Besides that I used sselph -as I wrote- not ES. (But actually I'm not that far into what the difference is)
                                    I think in the end the tool you use to get the xml file is not that important. Important is to understand where to put them and what the problem is.
                                    Most of us are not that deep into the whole technical thingies and need an easy step by step guide to know what to do. And I couldnt find one anywhere. So I tried stuff until it worked for me.

                                    Keep up the great work. Looking forward for the stable. Then all this hopefully is obsolete anyway.

                                      @alejandro-torres, last week @OyyoDams said :
                                      "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."

                                      He should have edited the original post so that everyone can see the information.
                                      But I think he could not do it because he may not have the rights to modify the previous moderator substring post, and he must have a lot of works 🙂

                                        Bonjour,
                                        Je viens d’acquérir un Pi3b+ afin d'y installer Recalbox. Je l'ai habillé d'un SuperPi Case (J) de chez Retroflag, et l'utilise avec la manette SNES du même constructeur (vraiment TOP, au passage).
                                        J'ai donc installé la beta, qui fonctionne dans l'ensemble très bien.
                                        Je rencontre toutefois un souci avec la fonction Safe Shutdown de mon boitier. En effet, lorsque je tente d’éteindre le boitier avec le bouton power, Recalbox sort bien d’Emulation Station, la Led se met bien à clignoter, mais le Pi ne s’éteint jamais. En fait, le texte "Please DO NOT power off Recalbox, please wait !!!!" s'affiche à l'écran, et la machine reste indéfiniment allumée, m'obligeant à débrancher et rebrancher la prise usb pour l'éteindre. De même, une pression sur le bouton reset ne redémarre pas mon Pi, mais le laisse bloqué sur le même message.
                                        Je précise que pour activer le script, j'ai utilisé la méthode consistant à décommenter la ligne " system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET # ", et non pas celle du SSH.
                                        Par ailleurs, l'extinction ou redémarrage à l'aide du menu fonctionnent très bien.
                                        Enfin, l'appui sur le bouton reset depuis un jeu produit bien l'effet attendu: redémarrage du jeu si appui court, sortie du jeu si appui long.
                                        Après avoir cherché en vain un post traitant de ce problème sur ce forum ou ailleurs sur google , je me permets de poster afin de savoir si quelqu'un d'autre est touché. J'ignore totalement si ce problème est du à la dernière version de la beta, puisque je n'en ai jamais connu d'autre.
                                        Merci pour vos lumières.

                                          Is it possible to import the sega model 2&3 emulator on raspberry pi 3b+ and the other systems?

                                            Hey, Not a solution for your problem but I have the same Setup with the latest beta and the shutdown script installed and it works fine for me. So I think its not a problem of the beta.
