[GPi Case] Recalbox 6.1 Beta 4 (pre-release) - New Public Beta!

[sibobbbe]

I have an issue where sometimes, after simply adding some games via Finder (I'm on mac) it takes five minutes to boot, then boots into full Recalbox, not the GPI version.

This has happened twice and seems totally random. Both times I've had to start from scratch with a new installation. Is anyone else having this issue? Any ideas? Thanks

[sibobbbe]

@maldorhan I got snes games to run by switching to Snes9x then switching back to pisnes. Sometimes it took a couple of tries. Weird but it works

[littlehui]

Have you considered supporting the banana pi?
It is more performence

[Maldorhan]

@sibobbbe Thanks but it didnt work for me, reinstalled again and nope, snes still doesnt work, even with the original game added by recalbox, without adding anything, right after first boot, snes doesnt work and goes back to the menu (SnesPi by default), works with manual switch to snes9X.

Question to all the GPI CASE owners, do you notice that too on your screen? Specially on blue/grey of the Recalbox menu for exemple :

I took a picture of the vertical lines I noticed on the left, anyone else experienced that on his screen? (you gotta turn up the contrast to notice the lines on the Recalbox menu, specially dark blue and grey), maybe my screen is defect or something (It is WAY more visible in reality than on photos... but now you know how to check on yours if you wanna help me out:

Hi, i just got my GPi Case - do i still need to install the patch from http://download.retroflag.com/ and the safe shutdown scripts?
Not sure about the timeline when what released, and if it's still required.
Thanks!

hi,

is there a way to play scummvm as well? I have tried it, but was not able to move the mouse. Can I map the dpay as joystick?

snes

Thanks for the tip with Snes9x emulator. It worked for me.
I also have the lines on left side of the screen like yours.

[daeks]

@daeks to rephrase the question: any chance to get lr-scummvm on recalbox?

Just got my case today, and happy to have found this beta - had tried 6.0 but it would stutter all the time even during the boot animation and main menu, unfortunately not usable. The beta3 runs awesome though, fast boot/shutdown, no sound issues (apart from too demanding games obviously), I just also have the issue of SNES not working, just comes back to the menu.

The case is awesome, love the attention to detail and build quality, really great tribute to the GB.

Those stripes are part of the background image. They look a bit bad just becasue the image is scaled down so much for the 320x240 screen.

[Maldorhan]

@Kilrah I thought it was part of the background image too but it also appears in blue or grey static backgrounds of some pre-included games (2048 for exemple).

@Minibreak Thanks a lot!

Yeah upon closer look I also have the stripes everywhere.

SNES emulator appears to be broken. Upon further investigation it appears there's a missing library
/usr/lib/libretro/pisnes_libretro.so

[paradadf]

@quillomega0 pisnes is a standalone emulator, so you won‘t find the binary there. But yes, there seems to be a problem launching games directly with it in the current beta. It will be fixed for the final release though.

[simoasis]

Will it be possible to add pico-8 emulator?

[voljega]

@simoasis it is not an emulator it is not open source and you need a paid license to use it.

However you can find some script in my signature to use it with recalbox, even if the theme part is not uptodate

[simoasis]

@voljega Thanks, but guess you can include it when you own license. Correct?

[simoasis]

Will final version for GPi case have "green" Gameboy emulator installed? Just saw B/W version which I personally do not prefer to "original green" one.

[Kilrah]

@simoasis You can select display palette in the emulator settings.

Hi guys
I have done some testing on the GPI case and the PSX standalone emulator.

1. the GPI case controller comes in hat mode by default and when using the PSX standalone emulator controller is a mess, but if you change the GPI case to axis and you remap the controller it works perfect.
   Left, up right and down and bottom

2. only thing the I see is the games on my GPI case only show in haft of the screen with standalone emulator other than that emulation speed and sound is really good.

3. axis mode working good with all emulators I try, Atary2600, nes, Snes,megadrive ect....

Note Retropie psx standalone emulator controller also a mess if in hat mode, but works in axis mode

if anybody else could try it.
