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

@paradadf thank you
(but the right one I was searching for is this one : https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox-configgen/merge_requests/198/commits

@Bkg2k beautiful work ! I'll have to read more than the commits to understand it as I'm not that fluent nor good with OO Python ahahah

[Bkg2k]

@voljega
lol, I'm not that fluent either, but I like readable and efficient code

Hi,

sorry for my bad english...

i tested the beta with the following Graficcards:
R9380X
RX580

With both Cards you can boot into the menu of Recalbox but than everything is extremely slow and unusable.

Im not sure if you meant this with:
some AMD GPU can have a glitched output, should be fixed in a coming release
so far, couldn't add the amdgpu driver (see this link for the GPU list), i'll try to fix this later

If so, take it only as info.

Regards
naitreia

Controller : Wired GameStop PS4 Fun Controller
I've noticed the following issues.

A-
When go to advanced setting, and change core MAME from DEFAUT to ADVANCEDMAME --> Crash. With "restart ES" it works but not possible to activate 'ADVANCED MAME".

B-
When I want to play with MAME2010 (release 0.139) I do not have any folder /recalbox/share/bios/mame2010/ so I've created one to copy CHEAT.ZIP. I only have /recalbox/share/bios/mame2003/ folder
Can be a good idea to create this folder to help newcomer

C-
In Web Manager, concerning Bios validation.
I do not have no information neither green nor red cross with SCPH1001.BIN
MD5 are OK

Merci d'avance

[Bkg2k]

@olivierdroid92 thanks for your report:
A- Metadata are very buggy on the Christmas beta. Everything has been fixed for next betas/releases
B- Easy improvement, validated
C- Never seen that issue before. Did you try with another browser?

[voljega]

@bkg2k I also had this C issue ((always had it), I think it's related to case of the filename

[olivierdroid92]

@Bkg2k @voljega

using Google chrome on W10

@Bkg2k
For MAME2003-PLUS (0.78)
Cheat.dat file to be uploaded in : libretro system dir/mame2003-plus/
so it will be /recalbox/share/bios/mame2003-plus/
Same question : can this folder be created from the image ?

Bonjour:

Pour ma part, sur odroid XU4:

• probleme sur manette 8bitdo:
  la premiere synchronisation: Ok . Puis, après plusieurs redémarages, les manettes sont oubliés, et on ne peux plus les associer.
• problème pour changer la durée du splashscreen (les intro ne sont pas lu en entier malgré les modifications dans le fichier S02splash).

Bon courage a l'équipe

[olivierdroid92]

I played 1944 game on different MAME LIBRETRO cores : MAME0.78(2003) - MAME2003PLUS - MAME2010
Controls are not the same
To be clear I have 3 full complete rom set.

Any chance to remap controls on core MAME2003 PLUS and MAME2010 based on MAME2003.

Controls configured for MAME2003 are the most usefull.

[paradadf]

@olivierdroid92 definitely not. That‘s something the core manages and for thousands of roms and different cores it is practically impossible to achieve.

Hello there!
First of all, thank you for all that work, u are awesome.
I just bought a a raspberry 3b+ and installed the beta on it. I found 2 issues:

• Favorites are not "remembered" when you reboot. Always forgotten by recalbox when you restart, even if you don't choose the fast shutdown.
• Moonlight seems to have a problem with the 3.16 version of Geforce. It's a known issue, that some programmers did solve by compiling again Moonlight with some code correction :lien vers github. But for those who are not familiar with coding, there is no available solution.
  Thank u for reading this.

Hello,

I want to play with 4:3 ratio, because for me, the only one solution, I dont like 16:9 at my retro games. That is the reason why I need overlays, it looks much nicer for me, without black space at the left and right side.

But it doesnt work. Here what I did:

snes.cfg

path: recalbox\share\system\configs\retroarch\snes.cfg

content of snes.cfg:

input_overlay = "/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/overlays/snes_overlay.cfg"

snes_overlay.cfg

path: "/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/overlays/snes_overlay.cfg"

content of snes_overlay.cfg:

overlays = "1"

overlay0_overlay = "snes.png"

overlay0_full_screen = "true"

overlay0_descs = "0"

snes.png

path: "/recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/overlays

Can anybody help me? where is the error? Or a Bug of the beta version of recalbox?

Thanks in advance

PS: Yes I know the manual: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Retroarch-setup-overlays-(EN)

I did every step within the chapter Overlays by system

Bonjour, tout d'abord bravo et merci au developpeur, je suis novice mais j'ai fais divers test, voici les bug que je rencontre sur la beta:

-Quand on switch entre audio HDMI a Jack, il y a un petit bug de navigation dans le menu

-Certains jeux ou emulateur : l'avance rapide fonctionne, mais pas le rembobinage.

-Sur Game and Watch avec le jeux en Multiscreen (donky Kong) plantage quand on saute. (ce n'est peut-être pas lié a la béta)

A vous de voir si ça vous est utile !

Bisous

[mantics]

I downloaded the version from here but every time I start again it does not save the changes and I always have to reconfigure

[lhari84]

@mantics Do you mean changes of metadata (gamelists, favorites,...)?
In this case, just wait for new beta or final release.
It's a known issue and developers have written that it's even fixed already on their side but not released yet.

[mantics]

ok, thank you.

[jorgemagana]

Hello. Excuse me if here it is not the place to post this.

Could you please add the controller layout images for:

Atari 5200
Fairchild
Intellivision
WonderSwan Color

The controller layout of rest of systems is very useful with kids. Thanks.

[tonificante]

@mantics If you want to have something stable while waiting, then go for batocera. It is not so cool like recalbox but at least it is stable with pi3+ since a couple of releases. I think recalbox stable release for pi3+ will probably still take some time. Or if you want to help with the recalbox beta, then you are more than welcome to send here every bug you find
