Recalbox 6.0 RC3 is released

@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?

@garfunkel
Don't know this solution helps for PC version, but for Pi it works fine most time:

Change wifi region from "US" to some european value (FR, DE, AT,...) in recalbox.conf

May I ask what you can tell about running recalbox on such NUC in general? Is it working well? Is it possible to emulate GameCube and Wii smoothly? I'm sometimes thinking about buying an NUC for emulation, but don't know if it's worth at all...

[garfunkel]

@lhari84 Unfortunately that didn't work.

I haven't yet tried the NUC with gamecube/WII, but I actually bought it because it seemed it would play PS2 games, unfortunately it's not quite up to the task - however I would think Gamecube at least would be very smooth.

Hi, when I start the scrapper, ES, restart but ... freeze on the recalbox logo release version & date + pacam ghost.
RPI3 freshly installed, let me know if you need more.

@kbz please don't use the internal scraper. It'll be removed in the final release and has to be rewritten.

[kbz]

OK, Thank you

[Deiviid Correa]

when I do a scraper it gets black screen and I have to restart the system, and the retroarch does not save the settings nor the shaders, netplay is very slow, it takes too long to enter

@deiviid-correa seriously... read my previous post !!

@twh_pi actually there is already a way to override libretro configurations on a per folder basis. Unfortunately, it doesn't work for Atari 8bits because it relies on its own configuration file.
We should add code in the emulator launcher to keep libretro and proprietary configuration synchronised so that people could make sub-folders with specific machine-configs.

This is already working for the c64. You can make machine-specific sub-folders to get the emulator automatically emulate Pet, Vic-20, CBM, c64, c128 etc...

This is an undocumented feature yet, and we have to rewrite several parts of the WIKI!

PS: I had several friends having an Atari 800XL in my yougness, and some of them bought a 130XE later. AFAIR, there is some compatibility issues. That's why we choose the 800XL since this is the most common machine, at least in Europe.

@bkg2k This sounds like a plan. Actually it would make sense to at least to differentiate between Atari800 and XL/XE. These product lines had different OS and some compatibility issues.

The Atari 800 XL und 130 XE are 99,999% compatible. Actually I never saw a game running on the Atari 800 XL but not on the 130 XE. Commercially the 130 XE was not so widespread like the 800 XL/ 65XE, but many people upgraded their XL/XEs to e..g 256kB up to 4MB. Many newer homebrew games and conversions require at least 128KB. (e.g. Stunt Car Racer). So that's why I said 130 XE standard config should match all old games plus newer ones. Games that require at least 320kb are rarely seen (e.g. Bomb Jack) but of course still exist.

Too bad it didn‘t help
And PS2 would be fine too though... Hope maybe in few years there will be mini pcs that can handle all of it...
