      Hey,

      I'm using the Christmas Beta on an Raspi 3B+ with a 32GB SD - no external storage devices.

      • My 8bitdo SF30 Pro Controller works without any problems on internal BT.
      • The shutdown script (Retroflag case) works but savegames are not written to SD, when switching off while still ingame (not sure if that's a script or recalbox problem)
      • Wifi takes a while to find and connect the AP, the first time but works well, afterwards.
      • Settings are not saved after exiting any emulator, I have to Hotkey+B every time I start a game. Even if I save the config in the menu, screen ratio will revert to "custom" after exiting the emulator.
      • N64 emulation is a bit laggy, sometimes, even when running on 1500MHz (using finned heatsinks on CPU and LAN, a copper heatspreader on ram and a 30mm fan in the case, so it shouldn't be a temp problem) - That's high-level moaning, however.

      If you need additional information, just ask.

        J'ai trouvé pourquoi. https://github.com/irtimmer/moonlight-embedded/issues/705
        Par contre je n'ai pas trouvé de listing avec les compatibilité moonligth / Version GFE
        J'ai donc testé la 3.15 et c'est fonctionnel. "Youpi"
        Je continu de tester...

        System : RPi 3b+ & RecalboxOS V6.0.0-RC1
        Network : Ethernet
        Storage : NAS Synology

          Pi3+ everything is fine including Kodi (only one add one installed at the moment)

          The only problem is with NeoGeo. Several roms of 0.2.97.44 romset are not working. I do not know if is a problem of the neogeo.zip bios or the roms (roms of 0.2.97.43 romset didn't work anymore in beta). Every time crashes the system and had to disconnect from power otulet. Only one time after rebooted I received a message of ext4 error, then restarted and system started fine again. It happened only once.

          I noticed too that when one rom doesn't run, for example in FBA, I can not start another for example in Game Gear or Game Boy. After rebooting, I can run Game Gear or Game boy again.

              Thanks for answering.

              In FBA libretro with last stable version I had all installed roms working. With beta more than half did't work anymore. I had a veryfied 0.2.97.43 romset.

              Same situation with NeoGeo folder.

              With beta none of the 0.2.97.43 NeoGeo roms work anymore (with last stable all worked 100%)

                  @lhari84 Thanks for your answer.

                  Yes I did reboot, multiple times. I actually tried several things. I even tried different available firmwares for the N30 gamepad, even older ones, but no luck...

                  ...Until I tried to pair the gamepad "the hard way", i.e. manually, in the Linux console during an SSH session.

                  Then it worked. For those interested, the process is described here : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Connect-bluetooth-controller-manually-(EN)

                  simple-agent did not work (method 1), but bluetoothctl did (method 2).

                  I have no idea why it refuses to pair in the GUI. I tried so many times, and it never worked.

                    Now that my gamepad problems are sorted out, I can report a bit more on Recalbox usage.

                    Everything worked fine in the few included games (homebrews ?) I tested. The gamepad also works in Kodi, as does my TV remote through HDMI-CEC.

                    The only crashes I witnessed were in Kodi, and they were rare. I play movies from the network (via smb). They are stored on a NAS, with both the NAS and the Pi 3B+ connected to my router via ethernet. All the movies play fine, even those in 1080p, despite being read from the network. On one or two occasions, Kodi crashed and returned to EmulationStation. It seemed to happen exclusively when I tried to load a movie while another was already playing, as if Kodi/the Pi/the network (not sure which one of those) struggled. So now I prefer stopping the currently playing movie before trying to load another one.

                    Hope it helps.

                        Bonjour, je suis en test sur cette nouvelle version et je n'arrive pas à faire reconnaitre mon NAS avec celle-ci. En effet je possède 2 RECALBOX et j'ai upgradé (avec nouvelle installation) mon PI3 (l'autre est un PI2) et avec les mêmes paramètres pour le NAS (copier/coller) que mon PI2 en v18.07.13 il reste en local. Avez-vous une idée?
                        Hello, i test this new revision and no roms with my NAS. Indeed i have 2 PI (2 and 3) and on my PI3 with this revision and the same network parameters (copy/paste) than my PI2 no roms on network (only view local roms). Do you have an idea?

                        Try adding ",vers=1.0" end of line, like this:

                        sharedevice=NETWORK
                        sharenetwork_smb1=ROMS@192.168.100.x:Recalbox/roms:username=xxxx,password=xxxxx,vers=1.0

                            Is there a solution for the wifi issue. even though I have connected the wifi, there is no constant connection warning.

                              @ottomanhlc this is a known issue. Please be patient or use the stable version.

                                  @toniosj Hello! Thanks for your tip but it doesn't work for me. On boot the recalbox stay on the black screen with the version on bottom. On my NAS SYNOLOGY i can see that i have my user connect but nothing on my RECALBOX. I anderstand that this parameter fixe the version of SMB? is it the way of my problem? I add the band SMB1 and SMB2 parameter for my shares on my NAS and remove the "vers=1.0" from the command line but the RECALBOX boot in local setting. Another idea?

                                    I just tried to do with nfs setting and it's the same. Does anyone use the NAS rom share with this version?

                                      Bonjour,

                                      Merci pour cette beta Christmas Edition qui a le mérite de démarrer sur mon Pi 3b+ et de fonctionnner... en gros.

                                      J'utilise un double joystick "X-Arcade" pour Mame, et ce dernier ne fonctionne pas bien avec la version beta en mode natif. Certaines des boutons sont reconnus, d'autres non (et c'est d'ailleurs très peu intuitif de devoir utiliser un bouton pour entrer dans la liste de jeu et un autre pour lancer le jeu).
                                      Le joystick fonctionne dans l'interface, mais pas les bons boutons, et ne fonctionne plus sous Mame.

                                      En mode "émulation joystick Xbox360" ça passe pour un certain nombre de boutons, mais certaines des touches ne semblent pas émulées.

                                      Pour info, j'ai essayé sous Batocera, ça passe nickel (mais je préférerais pouvoir l'utiliser sur Recalbox qui a une interface plus agréable)....

                                        With the new core mame 2003 plus, what is the button to access service mode ?
                                        On mame 2003 it's F2, but on 2003 plus F2 do Nothing.

                                          Bonjour à tous,
                                          En continuant les tests sur mon Rpi 3b+, j'ai rencontré quelques difficultés avec Kodi.
                                          J'utilise un pad PS3 en bluetooth et un carte SD SanDisk 32Go.
                                          Le pad PS3 est bien reconnu par recalbox et ne pose pas de problème lors des sessions de jeu.
                                          Dès que je lance Kodi, Kodi m'indique au démarrage qu'un nouveau périphérique est détecté et que je dois le configurer. Problème : le pad PS3 ne réagit pas et aucune action n'est possible => je suis contraint de relancer le Rpi pour pouvoir revenir à ES.
                                          J'ai testé avec un pad Sidewinder en usb : il est bien reconnu par recalbox et ne pose pas de problème dans les sessions de jeu.
                                          Impossible de lancer Kodi avec ce pad : écran noir avec la version de recalbox affiché en bas à gauche puis retour sur ES.
                                          Dans mon cas, Kodi est inutilisable avec la Beta sur Rpi 3b+.

                                          Le problème avec kodi semble venir du driver par défaut utilisé pour le pad PS3 (dualchock3/sixaxis pour être précis).
                                          J'ai du éditer recalbox.conf pour changer le driver :

                                          • driver "bluez"
                                            • ES : le pad PS3 est bien pris en charge.
                                            • Kodi : au démarrage, nouveau périphérique détecté (pad PS3 à priori) mais impossible de le configurer.
                                            • une seule led rouge est allumé sur le pad PS3 (signe que le pad est connecté en bluetooth à priori).
                                          • driver "official"
                                            • ES : le pad ps3 fonctionne mais j'ai du configurer le pad manuellement.
                                            • Kodi : le pad ps3 est bien pris en charge par défaut sans configuration manuelle.
                                            • les 4 led rouge clignotent en permanence sur le pad PS3
                                            • impossible de savoir quel pad est "player 1" et lequel est "player 2".

                                          J'ai conservé le driver "official" pour l'instant bien que je n'en sois pas pleinement satisfait (4 led clignotantes).

                                          Par ailleurs, de temps à temps, j'ai un éclair jaune en haut à droite ou un message de type "Under-voltage detected!" lorsque ES lance un émulateur (le message est trés furtif).
                                          J'ai pourtant une alimentation 5V-3A et seulement une clé USB 128Go de connecté sur les port USB, wifi activé mais connecté en éthernet pour déposer les roms.

                                            Bonjour,
                                            Merci pour le travail fourni, vous êtes au top !

                                            J'ai juste un problème, que j'ai vu énoncé au début de ce thread avant la nouvelle Maj de Noël, mais rien là dessus depuis

                                            Impossible de faire tourner les jeux PS1 et un ami a exactement le même problème
                                            La liste des jeux s'affiche bien, mais écran noir et retour au menu au lancement.
                                            J'ai entendu dire que le souci viendrait de ma manette Xbox 360. Je l'ai remapée, et j'ai essayé d'autres manettes sans succès

                                            Quelqu'un a eu le souci et a eu une solution ?

                                            Merxi et gros bisous !
