Congratulation!! Thanks for your great GREAT work !! Our dreams ... your reality!

No automatic update from stable 18.07.13? Must do a backup of all and fresh install downloading the image from the web?

[maxmoro77]

@makination
Absolutely yes! You must to do a fresh install. No update from 18.07.13.

[Ekki]

Really?? A clean install???? i don't know what folders must i backup for keep my roms, scrappes, kodi addons, configs......any good guide???

[glukkkk]

Will these instructions work with the new Recalbox version?

https://github.com/RetroFlag/retroflag-picase

[lhari84]

@glukkkk
probably, but not necessary to install these scripts anymore:

just uncomment following line in recalbox.conf and safe power off and soft reset with retroflag cases will work:

------------ A - System Options -----------
Uncomment the system.power.switch you use
system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET

[glukkkk]

@lhari84 Thanks! I'll try it.

Guys, you are heroes! Great work, all functions i'm using tested so far, everything works fine! Thanks for implementing dpad function in mame2003 plus too

I recognized just one cosmetic issue that isn't a big thing at all:
At 2 of about 6 startups there was no intro video - just black screen and version number before ES was started up. maybe one of the intro videos is broken, can't tell...

I've updated from RC3 on Pi3 B+

Have now rebooted many times and couldn‘t reproduce it anymore. no idea what it was. saw every video, old ones, new ones and even latest konami. so please ignore my last post.

Hi, thanks for the release. Is Xbox one bluetooth controller support ever gonna happen?

[morveyvan]

Great job
But i have little problems with the new version :
I have lost all my scrapped games. When i copy the roms with the box art/images i have previoously scrapped, The system don't recognised it...
So i try to scrappe manually and the recalbox freeze...
If I have to scrapp all manually again it will be hell And maybe I will return to previous build.

Congratulations all devs!

shaders not working yet, please you can see this?
https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/17180/problems-with-shaders-in-recalbox-6-0

[Bkg2k]

@morveyvan You have to move both images and gamelist.xml files

[Bkg2k]

@jordanpi not yet but we're working on this issue

[Garu]

@bkg2k Any chance we could get some kind of tutorial on how to move the games and images from the previous set up to the new one? I need help! Thanks either way!

[azvarel]

Hi guys,

I am having problems with my two controllers 8bitdo sn30 they pair but after a short time while entering the game unpair and so I can not play, is someone experiencing this same problem?

[xHardcore]

@Bkg2k @paradadf @OyyoDams I'm having problems pairing the 8bitdo and ps3 controls, they simply disconnect and do not pair anymore

[tekkenism]

Congrats and thanks SO MUCH for such a great effort! Well appreciated and respected!

Just one thing; not working shaders are really a trouble, as "xHardcore" said here.. It's quite boring to set a shader from the beginning, each time on a game play.. Please have it fixed someday soon!

Many thanks!

You guys ROCK! Thanks for this amazing release.
