Bonjour à tous ^^

@Bkg2k voici les configurations pour différents pads avec la version BETA 2019.02.23 rpi3 sur un pi3b.

La liste des pads :

• XBOX 360 Filaire (Officiel MICROSOFT)
• iBuffalo Classic USB Gamepad
• 8Bitdo NES30 Arcade Stick (USB et sans fils)
• PS4 Dualshock 4 (Officiel SONY) (USB et sans fils)
• SNES "no name"
• 8Bitdo SFC30 (USB et sans fils)
• 8Bitdo SF30 PRO (USB et sans fils)

--> Lien pastebin des configurations pad

Le stick arcade "8Bitdo NES30" est configuré comme sur l'image en lien.

Merci pour le travail accompli, au plaisir d'aider...

PS : C'est normal que le pad 8Bitdo SF30 PRO utilisé directement en mode "filaire USB" soit détecté avec le nom "Microsoft X-Box 360 pad" (Ce n'est pas une erreur, j'ai vérifié plusieurs fois ^^) ?

Ordre pour appairer deux manettes BT.
Board : RPI3B
Image : 2019-02-24

Y a t il un ordre pour appairer 2 manettes en Bluetooth ?
Je suis en D-input mode (Start+B)

Depuis une fresh installe, Micro SD uniquement, pas de WIFi, Rj-45 uniquement, pas de theme.

Il m'est impossible d'appairer 2 manettes BT dans l'ordre suivant.
1- Demarrage recalbox ; fresh installe
2- Suppression de tous les liens BT
3- reset BT manette 8bitdo SF30 Pro
4- détection BT manette 8bitdo SF30 Pro
5- demande de connection BT manette 8bitdo SF30 Pro = ok
6- reset BT manette 8bitdo SN30 Pro
7- détection BT manette 8bitdo SN30 Pro
8- demande de connection BT manette 8bitdo SN30 Pro = impossible à appairer (cette manette se trouve en 2ieme position dans la liste)
Dans la liste j'ai
a) Mac SF30
b) Mac SN30--> je clique OK ici

Par contre en changeant l'odre ce fonctionne
1- Demarrage recalbox ; fresh installe
2- Suppression de tous les liens BT
3- reset BT manette 8bitdo SN30 Pro
4- détection BT manette 8bitdo SN30 Pro
5- demande de connection BT manette 8bitdo SN30 Pro = ok
6- reset BT manette 8bitdo SF30 Pro
7- détection BT manette 8bitdo SF30 Pro
8- demande de connection BT manette 8bitdo SF30 Pro = OK ca marche (cette manette se trouve en 1ere position dans la liste)
a) Mac SF30 --> je clique OK ici
b) Mac SN30

Question : Y a t il une préférence des adresse MAC de détection BT pour appairer les manettes BT ?
J'ai l'impression que lorsque la manette que l'on veut appairer se trouver en 2ieme position, on arrive sur "failed to pair" alors que si la 2ieme manette à appairer est lister en première position, ca fonctionne.
Est-ce possible ?

Hello friends! I noticed exactly the same problem. I have pretty much the same configuration except for my microSD card which has 128Gb and my roms are internal. In no one retroarch emulator I can save configurations of shaders. In the previous version (13.07.18) with R pi 3B this was possible. Thanks.

[JCreazy]

I'm not sure if this is a recalbox issue or hardware issue but sometimes when I restart my pi 3b+ the flash drive is no longer recognized and the internal storage is used. After reboot, it goes back to using the flash drive. Also on occasion the wifi doesn't auto connect on boot up, I have to turn wifi off and then back on. I'm also still having an off issue that even though I did a fresh install on an SD card of the latest beta and a black SD card, the 3 NES games that I tried using before won't but, all new games do boot. It's almost as if there is something residual Stoll there even after formatting. It's frustrating because the roms were working and then they just stopped. I will try a total format on next release and hopefully that fixes the issue. Also the scraper can't find certain games even thought I know they are in the database. Most likely not a recalbox problem.

[virtualhours]

the new beta-version is really great
the most of all works great. i use pi3+ with 4gb sd for booting, and 128gb stick for system and roms data and a x360 controler.

but...
is it possible to change the dreamcast language from french to a other language?
all eu images plays french, but i need german.
when I go to the dreamcast menu with x + y + a + b and then start, i can select the language in the configuration, but saving is not possible - only black screen when i will start the game

one more question:

I use a 4:3 tube tv (for more 80s feeling) over a hdmi2av Adapter. The most emulators works great and in full screen, and its amazing. But amiga an daphne will not works perfect. black boarders left and right. Is it possible to change the aspect ratio for this emulators somehow?

THX and THX for the hard work on Recalbox!!

Your bios file is french. Install bios coresponding to your language of choice

with this last joystick, select + start doesn't exit on amiberry emulator.

@dh04000 is there a bios file for french and a other for german?
I thought the bios is anyway region-free

[Bkg2k]

@asirome Thanks for your configuration files

when I go to the dreamcast menu with x + y + a + b and then start, i can select the language in the configuration, but saving is not possible - only black screen when i will start the game

I solved in this way:

1. Go internal dreamcast menu (x + y + a + b and then start)
2. Adjust date/time and select your language
3. Erase the two memory card (Only first time)
4. DO NOT GO back to "game", simply exit from menu with hotkey button on your pad.

Ok. Next game start will be in your language!
If you don't want lost your save games, you can manually save files vmu_save_A1.bin and vmu_save_A2.bin from share/saves/dreamcast/reicast and restore after the above procedure.

These are my bios:

Hello everybody!
Today I made a fresh install of latest beta (feb 24), but can not start Kodi, after pressing launch button, immediately returned to main Recalbox screen.

Wifi is working fine, roms are working fine. Gamepads are configured and working fine.

With previous Beta, Kodi was working without problems.

System:
Rasp 3b+
Micro SD 32gb Kingston for OS
USB 32gb Kingston for Roms
Generic USB gamepad PS2 style.

Tried with the usb and without the usb.

Edit: if I start Recalbox only with a keyboard connected, I can start Kodi. Then plugged the USB gamepad, and configured buttons inside Kodi, but when restarting only with gamepad connected, same problem: can not start Kodi.

@jorgemagana Did you remap your pad in EmulationStation?

[loak]

@Bkg2k @jorgemagana

Hello sirs,

I can confirm the bug with Kodi. After a fresh install of the last beta (2019-02-23), launching Kodi leads back to ES. Remapping the pad (Shanwan PS3 BT for me) doesn't change anything, same behavior : back to ES.

The workaround I've found is to start Kodi by default when I turn On the Raspberry : Kodi launch automatically, I can use the PS3 pad and watch movies as usual (without remapping). When I quit Kodi, I'm back to ES and can play games, no problem with pad (no remapping needed). BUT, when I try to restart Kodi, same behavior : back to ES. I need to restart the Raspberry to reach Kodi.

A link to a support archive done after a fresh install and the abort of Kodi's launch : https://file.ac/r7K_NgpMG9c/

My setup for this test : RPI3B (no B+), Sandisk card, one Shanwan PS3 pad on external BT dongle, fresh install, default roms and default setup.

The previous release did not behave this way.

Thanks to all of the devs for all the job you do and withstand the pressure put on you.

Bonjour, je rencontre une difficulté avec la nouvelle Beta de février. jusqu'alors en beta de noel tout fonctionnait impec, à présent je n'arrive plus à remplir convenablement mon écran avec les jeux. Si j'effectue les mêmes réglages dans le .conf qu'auparavant, à savoir globalvideomode: default et ratio à 5/4 je me retrouve avec un écran de jeux minuscule rectangulaire au milieu...
J'ai tenté bien des combinaisons dans le videomode et le rato..en vain. le mieux que j'obtiens c'est une bande haute et basse noire résiduel, en ratio auto.
Merci à vous !

System: Rpi 3B+ / 8Bitdo SF30 Pro / Recalbox Beta 24.02.2019

Hello!

First of all, thank you for your hard work on this beautiful piece of software!! I've tried all the betas so far everytime with a fresh install, nonetheless there are still bugs in the latest beta (24.02.2019) I've come across:

1. Pairing the 8bitdo SF30Pro doesn't work right after booting from a fresh install. The controller is recognised in the list of BT devices, but when chosen cannot be paired, no matter what I do (Forget BT controller, System restart, etc.). When I change the system language though (in my case to german), the controller can be paired instantly after the system reboot with no problems!
2. As some users already mentioned, Kodi isn't working anymore (was ok with the last beta). When starting Kodi, the system goes back to ES after a short black screen.
3. WLAN / WiFi connection isn't established on every boot. I can't figure out what makes the difference. Sometimes it's there, sometimes not. This has been a problem through all the betas, although I think with the last beta connection is established more often.
4. Release dates of games are still not scraped from screenscraper, though they are in the database.
5. Maybe not this important: The update check is done, even if the switch for automatic check is set to "off"; at least when the system goes online the first time.

That's it for the moment.

Greetings to all, Chris.

[paradadf]

@the-headz about your 1. point:
The safest and probably proper way to pair the controller is to start it in in the right mode, i.e. Start + B, and then put the controller in pairing more pressing the little button for a few seconds on top of the controller. The lights will start turning on and off in carrousel. Only then try to pair the controller in ES.

bonjour
bon je me suis amusé avec l'émulation Amiga et surtout les whdload , alors j ai testé plus de 150 jeux et je peux vous dire que les whdload ecs et aga fonctionnent très bien , mais la ou j ai rencontré le plus gros problème c'est les whdload cd32 qui eux ne fonctionne pas tous , alors je me suis dit pourquoi ne pas tester les jeux amiga cd32 et je me suis aperçu que certain jeux marcher en amiga cd32 et pas en whdload , et que certain jeux whdload et cd32 avaient le meme problème , donc la je me doute très bien que cela viens directement de l'émulateur amiga et pour aller plus loin j ai même tester ces jeux directement avec un émulateur sur pc et certain jeux on le meme problème sur le pc donc il va falloir attendre une nouvelle version qui pourrait améliorer l émulation ^^
sinon certain jeux amiga cd32 demande 6 mo pour fonctionner mais la il est configurer sur 1 mo donc je voudrais savoir comment faire pour configurer sur 6 mo de memoire , j ai essayer de mettre plus de mémoire mais quand je quitte le menu il retourne directement au menu des jeux donc je voudrais savoir comme faire pour mettre plus de mémoire et sauver cette configuration meme si je dois la sauvegarder pour tous les jeux amiga cd32.
Merci...
