      @OyyoDams Hi, since version 6.0 I got some warnings about invalid CRC in es_log.txt. No big deal, but would be interesting where these come from. Examples:

      [2019/04/03 00:31:48.413] (WARN!) : Invalid CRC32 FD7B1BE33ath
      [2019/04/03 00:31:48.414] (WARN!) : Invalid CRC32 FE43FE586ath
      [2019/04/03 00:31:48.414] (WARN!) : Invalid CRC32 02FAD2B66ath
      [2019/04/03 00:31:48.415] (WARN!) : Invalid CRC32 FA8DF0BA3ath
      [2019/04/03 00:31:48.415] (WARN!) : Invalid CRC32 FF9ED9819ath

      Thanks for all the work you guys do, version 6.0 RC2 is working very well here on Pi3 B+!

        @lhari84 check the corresponding gamelist.xml file.
        What did you use to generate those CRC? An external scraper? The internal ES tool?

          @bkg2k Hi, I used external scraping tool (Skraper). Afterwards I run internal solution in netplay-section.

            I want to report another minor issue:
            I wanted to compress pcengine and sega cd roms (bin/cue) and used a tool named chdman to create chd-files.
            Now pcengine is working fine with those chd-files, but sega cd only runs into a black screen for about 10 seconds and quits to ES then. (Of course i tried the old bin/cue rom before compression and it worked too)

            I used tool version from this manual. Maybe I have to use another version? Or is it a bug in sega cd's chd support?

            https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroPie/comments/72kh6q/stepbystep_guide_how_to_convert_sega_cd_or_pc/

            (I know it's a manual for retropie, but I guess emulator is the same and for pcengine it appearantly works in recalbox)

              Three more findings:

              recalbox.conf
              I have already read about from other user during beta phase and don't know if it should be fixed in meanwhile:
              When enabling (uncommenting) power/reset switches on Pi 3B+' GPIO, in my case line with "PIN356ONOFFRESET", the same entry appears many times (all uncommented) in recalbox.conf. Seems that all other (still commented) entries are replaced by any reason:

              ------------ A - System Options -----------
              Uncomment the system.power.switch you use

              es_log.txt

              Here appears an error saying config file missing. + systems are listed double-named like "3do3do".

                Sorry for this one, should have opened my eyes before.
                Indeed there was text "ath" in the end of the hash. Must have come form Skraper (Screenscraper) I guess...

                Maybe you can have a short look on the other issues I found above.

                Thanks for your support!

                  @lhari84 don't worry about such "errors", that's normal, and we'll remove thos logs in the next release.

                    @bkg2k ok regarding error messages 🙂

                    But do you have an idea why sega cd isn't working with chd files made from bin/cue roms that work perfectly, though?
                    Readme says .chd is supported and pcengine cd chd files converted the same way from bin/cue work fine!
                    I don't know if chd support is new in 6.0 or if it was implemented before. I just can say I don't manage to get it working without a visible reason...

                      @lhari84 check if changing the core allows you to launch segacd in chd format. It might be that the default core doesn’t support chd, but the other does.

                        I've tried already tried switching to genesis plusgx yesterday, no success.
                        But it's a good hint, appearantly it only works with genesis plusgx core and that's the point. It seems this core needs other bios files (or at least renamed ones), than picodrive core:
                        https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Sega-CD
                        I guess I have to approach from this side.
                        I'll try when I'm at home and report when I get it working.

                          Yep, only Genesis Plus GX support .chd extensions.
                          For both Emulators you need following name convention:

                          bios_CD_E.bin for Europe Region
                          bios_CD_U.binfor USA Region
                          bios_CD_J.binfor Japan Region

                          Just rename your old Bios filenames to work on both Cores.
                          (example: eu_mcd2_9306.bin -> bios_CD_E.bin)

                                  I have to come back to this issue again, it seems to be a bug. Everytime I change metadata of a game, it seems there is added "ath" in the end of the hash in gamelist.xml.
                                  No matter if i change the core, or just run a game and playcount is written to the file. -> seems to happen always when a game is touched in any way!! -> No matter which system/gamelist/game.

                                    Here screenshots what happens exactly:

                                    AFTERWARDS (after restarting emulationstation and es has written <lastplayed> data, hash is messed up. same with super mario kart, see below):

                                    0_1554409368519_2019-04-04_221828.jpg

                                    Really strange thing....
