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

@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

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.

Less than an hour to go

they have been saying for several weeks that it leaves at 9:00 p.m. Paris time

[Zaphod]

so, in 40 min.

9pm Paris time is 3pm EST

[Edu28]

Also the development team if I remember correctly is French, and surely they want to release a version as stable as possible, and with the least number of bugs that will be corrected in the updates, see if it does not retropie version 4.6 was going very well but with the updates have been loaded due to the numerous bugs that have crept in.

Zaphod I am from the neighboring country crossing the Pyrenees (Madrid, Spain)

[Edu28]

recalbox 7.0 did not come out at the scheduled time, where to download?

[Lee McNutt]

@Edu28 Yeah I was hoping to mess with it before work

LOL

That says 2 October 2020 re-read it

[springjack]

Don´t understant this! On the live stream it says in big letters "Recalbox 7.0 est dispo!" meaning "Recalbox 7.0 is available"... so where is it?

[Zaphod]

The English translation is

Recalbox 7.0 is released

it actually means

This is the Recalbox 7.0 Release event.
