News: Recalbox 6.2, or 6.3, or... well, the next version!

[Zaphod]

The suspense is killing me...

[Zemus]

Now i have "Final Countdown" in my head

[Edu28]

I've been waiting for more than a month, I don't mind waiting another 20 days for you to release the best Recalbox published to date

[Scavy]

@Edu28 Hello, you don't have to wait 20 days more !
Here is the countdown

[Bkg2k]

@Zemus Hahaha you're welcome

Se sabe si hay que instalarla desde cero o se nos va a actualizar nuestra 6.1.1 al conectarla a la red.?

It is known if we have to install it from scratch or we are going to update our 6.1.1 when connecting it to the network.?

[Bkg2k]

@wendigor From scratch, since partitions and filesystems have all changed.

[Shad0wWare69]

Will there be any option to swap the A/B buttons to the Japanese layout in ES like in Batocera and RetroPie (A: Select/B: Back)?

[Scavy]

@Shad0wWare69 hi,
not for instant, but i will suggest it : @Bkg2k

[Liquid_Entity]

Is this version released in a few days for PC too?

[acris]

all board : pc , raspberry, odroid

[LeSchtroumpf]

Hi,

I would like to know if ledblinky or similar RGB commander will be supported ?

Does more wifi dongle will be supported ? My need is Dlink DWA121.

Thanks,

[Zemus]

@Bkg2k So, if i remapped the roms,themes,music,etc. to an usb stick, can i use the stick on rp4 too?

[Bkg2k]

@Zemus Yes you can, but beware if you plan to use one USB device in multiple Recalbox on different hardwares: configurations are slightly different and you could have unexpected behaviors!

[sroach]

If we save off BIOSs and ROMs we will also need to save off config files that we made changes to?

Example: daphne.configfile=/recalbox/share/system/configs/daphne/dapinput.ini

[Bkg2k]

@sroach I would recommend to backup roms, bios, saves, and config files.
Then start with a fresh install and restore roms, bios and saves.
Then, test and optionally restore config files one by one, or reintroduce the changes you made in the new config files.

Recalbox 7.0 introduces many changes in the system structure, in emulators and in their config files. Overwriting new configuration files with old ones is usually not a good idea

[Shad0wWare69]

I would also suggest (in a later version) for some of the full screen ES processes (scraping, hashing roms) to be minimized to a notification ala Batocera.

Bonjour,

Tout d'abord bravo et merci à toute l'équipe pour cette nouvelle release prometeuse!
J'ai une question concernant la mise à jour de recalbox sur un PC, avec l'intégralité du dossier "share" monté via un partage réseau (cf recalbox-boot.conf) .
Est-ce que RB7 va fonctionner avec un dossier share issu d'un RB6.1.1 ou bien vais-je devoir recréer un dossier pour RB7 et reporter toutes mes configuration une à une?
En gros est-ce qu'il y a des différences de configuration entre les 2 versions?
Merci! Hâte à demain

Edit : ok je crois comprendre plus haut qu'il est recommandé de repartir de zero et de reporter les config une à une. Sacré boulot, faut que je me souvienne de tout ce que j'ai modifié!! Tampis

@Bkg2k That a great idea, I have a back up and will fresh install on a new SD card and keep my old one around for reference, if I need to go back and look.

Welp, today’s the day. It’s coming out 9 PM (Paris). In my timezone (Chicago) it’s coming out at 2 PM. Just so you can get ready.
