Recalbox 6.0 RC3 is released

[jleppa]

I'm using Rpi3b+. Yesterday I tried to update from RC2 to RC3 without success. Earlier update from RC1 to RC2 went fine. I believe only change on my end is that now I've set emulationstation options to none on recalbox.conf. Message about new update shows correctly after boot but I haven't found a way to start update. No matter what button I press the message just disappears and goes back to emulation station.

Dear. Sorry about my English. After installing the new version RC3, I can not use the scraper, the moment the system finds the images it tries to save and goes to a black screen, after that I have to reboot the system. Would anyone have a solution?

@marcelo-sevla Hi, Recalbox's Scraper is out until further notice. You have to use an external one as Skraper or arrm, plugging your usb key with roms directly in your computer.

@bkg2k

Is there any reason why the default global video mode for emulators is CEA 4 HDMI?
This leads on my standard TV setup to some very extreme black borders esp. in Atari2600, Atari7800, Colecovision.
I had to manually switch to CEA 5 HDMI or CEA 16 HDMI in the recalbox.conf

[Bkg2k]

The "CEA 4 HDMI" is the default 720p resolution, recommended for all Raspberry Pi.

@twh_pi black borders are likely due to the integer scale

Yeah, DragonBlaze is coming! Hope to get it in one or two days.

Hi

First of all, I think Recalbox really Great and would like to Thank all those responsible for this Project!

I'm new at this Forum and would be glad if someone could answer my questions:-).

I have an Odroid C2 and use it in an RetroFlag nespi case +, so my question is it possible to use the safe shutdown and reset button?
With my Pi 3B + it works perfectly but with the C2 i just can not get it to work.

On the C2, the edge of the picture is cut off. And despite overscan, I can not change that.
And when I go to config.txt it shows me a blank page.

Am I doing anything wrong with the C2?
With the Pi 3B + everything works great.

Thank you in advance:-)!

Hello,
Le format.bin ne fonctionne pas sur atari5200 en RC3 sur Raspbery pie 3b
Merci par avance pour votre travail.
Jérôme.

@voljega thanks. I was not aware of that concept. I actually digged deeper into the resolution discussions and found out the "CEA 4 HDMI" mode (config.txt, recalbox.conf) produced the best result for my RpiB3+ / Samsung TV Set. I tested it with 'Atari 5200 Decathlon scroller'. perfectly smooth experience. (with pixel perfect:off, size:16/9 and shader: scanline)

But I think it's not related to RC3. so stopping the discussion now.

[voljega]

@twh_pi yeah i also deactivate it, it is mainly for hardcore purists, I find it better without it, especially for arcade game and scanlines for which it creates much problem

RC3 Bug?

I've noticed that Atari800 always executes in Atari 800XL, 64KB, NTSC. It doesn't help to manually save the configuration, because the retroarch/atari800_libretro.so is parametrized/configured by the emulatorlauncher.

While NTSC should be the default for Atari 5200 (AFAIK only NTSC version ever existed), NTSC should not be the default for Atari800. In fact there should be at least somehow the possibility to choose / default the desired machine and it's memory configuration independent of the 5200:

PAL/NTSC:
Atari 800 48kB
Atari XL/XE 64kB
Atari 130XE 128kB
Atari XL/XE 1088kB ("Rambo")

To me, Atari 130XE, 128kB, PAL would be the most common / most compatible "Atari800 Emulator" machine.

Opinions?

RC3 Bug?

The Atari2600 and other Atari-joystick-compatible consoles e.g. Master System, Mega Drive have the "Joystick-Trigger" by default on Button "B".

With Atari800 (800,5200) the default Joystick-Trigger is on Button "A". It should be the same like in Atari2600 with Button "B".

This is confusing especially in combination with the EmulationStation Menu (select/trigger is here with "B").

Opinions?

[paradadf]

@twh_pi this is a libretro/retroarch thing (default mapping).
https://docs.libretro.com/library/atari800/#controller-tables

If you think is incorrect, please open an issue about it on libretro’s github page.

[paradadf]

@twh_pi atari800 has a special config indeed.
Could you please open an issue on our gitlab page, with all the details, so we don’t forget about it and can discuss what’s better and how to improve it? Thanks!

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with different mame games.
For example the game 64th Street work well only with the core Mame2010, so I push the select button and select the correct core and save, but after restarting everything returned in default core.

How I can fix this?

[voljega]

@federiko By reading arcade documentation on the wiki. You're doing it wrong.

I think i have a RC3 bug on my Intel bean canyon i7 NUC running the PC 64bit build. Doesn't matter what I do with the wifi settings, I can't get it to connect - there are no errors on screen, the machine will simply just stays at "NOT CONNECTED". Correct SSID and WPA2 key are set, and I've tried rebooting a couple times. Running a clean RC3 image, bone stock settings.

Maybe a bug?
