Recalbox 8.0 Beta!

[RenaStein]

I would like to report some bugs and suggestions for possible improvements.

*First version 8.0 is not working on HDMI 1080i, only on 1080p, before it worked on reclbox 7.2.2.

*Second I would also like to focus on the Raspiberi's native AV output, as most users buy it to use on older RCA TVs.
And enjoy the nostalgia of old televisions.
Thanks for listening.

Hello! I own a Retrotink Ultimate and I would like to know if it would be compatible with CRT output on Recalbox 8.0 beta. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I would like to report a bug that I noticed in the beta version. On raspberry Pi 4b, using Mupen64plus Rice I noticed performance loss compared to version 7.2.2, goldeneye is slower.

Another thing I've noticed in other versions is that if I change the default installation core in the settings menu, I can't use that core in the individual configuration for games anymore.

Sorry my english is not my native language. Thanks in advance!

@bkg2k hello I tried the Beta 1 version with raspberry Pi 3 a + and when leaving or wanting to launch some games, the console freezes with version 7.2.2 I could not exit the games, with this new one I can exit but in some it does not leave me and in others I can not enter the games I do not have any theme installed it is all original.

You are on the international part of the forum, so speak in english, use google translator or deepl if you cannot speak english.

Your problem doesn't seem to be related to version 8.0 beta, it seems to be just a beginner's doubt, in this case the ideal is to open a new topic, and if you want to speak in Portuguese, use the Portuguese part of the forum:
https://forum.recalbox.com/category/25/português

Everything indicates that you are using a ROM in a format that the system does not recognize (.rar for example), check the readme.txt file that is inside each folder of each console to know the correct formats and the need for BIOS (If there is a need).

Você está na parte internacional do fórum, então fale em inglês, use o google tradutor ou o deepl se você não souber falar inglês.

Seu problema não parece estar relacionado com a versão 8.0 beta, parece ser apenas uma dúvida de iniciante, neste caso o ideal é abrir um novo tópico, e se quiser falar em português, use a parte em português do fórum:
https://forum.recalbox.com/category/25/português

Tudo indica que você está usando uma ROM em um formato que o sistema não reconhece (.rar por exemplo), verifique o arquivo readme.txt que está dentro de cada pasta de cada console para saber os formatos corretos e as BIOS necessárias (quando há necessidade de BIOS).

RPi Zero 2W: 1. scrapper doesnt work. Even though connected to the network the scrapper finds 0 data.

2. Kodi not working properly, asking for addons and stuff and freezes in the end.

For all scrap issues, please check with ScreenScraper staff first. This public beta was tested before we made it public and scrap worked fine. They could still have issues following their shutdown for maintenance last week.

is recalbox beta version is good to use?

[tomeczek]

@pitch64 ok I‘ll try again

@nukapop92

is recalbox beta version is good to use?

Yes. However, it's not the final version yet, the idea of an open beta is just for users to flag possible bugs, so it's a good version to use, but possibly with some bugs.
My opinion: buy another SD card and test it yourself, there's no better way for you to check if you like it than by testing it, and if it's on another SD card it doesn't affect your current setup at all if you don't like it.

PiBoy DMG with RPi4.

Kodi doesn't work, Asks to enable a lot of plug ins, once past all that it seems fine for the first run, will play videos no problem. Second time to run Kodi, get an isntant message "Playback Failed", and none of the buttons or joypad respond. Turning off the power button results in a "Power Options" window popping up then dissapearing, then popping up then disappearing over and over until I pull the battery.

SCUMMVM - Joypad movement unpredictable, and buttons don't seem to interact with the menus at all

Retroflag GPI Case

No Response from DPAD. Buttons and select and start appear to work fine, just can't navigate

Hi, I bought two generic PS3 joysticks and I can't pair them with the Raspberry Pi3 model B (which has recalbox latest Beta version 8.0). I've tried connecting them using an USB cable for 10 seconds and then holding the PS button with no luck. I can navigate the EmulationStation menu but they don't work inside the games. I've also tried with the bluez, official and shanwan configurations. According to the joystick's lights it's always the 5th controller even though it's the only one connected.

I used Putty to find out which clone they were, this is the result:

Found the answer... Start + Dpad up for 10 seconds solved this issue. Been so long since I setup an image for this case, I forgot about this.

Hi Recalbox team !

First, thanks for the great update.
I'm here to repport an issue on the gpi case version (for the raspberry pi zero 2).
The zx spectrum emulator is working fine, however saving/loading states is just not working.
It crashes the emulator, and it quits to the roms list.
Second issue : the Kempston joystick emulation is not working at all. I tried with 2 games (attic attac & head over heels) and none is working with Kempston joystick.

Also, the amiga emulator (uae4arm libretro) has issues with sound, I think. Either one of the channels is missing or very low so that the music sounds really strange. With earphones, sound is normal and both channels can be heard very clearly.

When restarting recalbox from the menu, it freezes on the favorites screen and I have to switch the gpi case off and restart it.

@eldontyrell Thanks for your feedback. Libretro-fuse has been updated to fix the issue. The core si now based on FUSE 1.6.0.

[Paulska]

sometimes when unplugging a controller and plugging it back, it doesn't work.
Once this happens, any new controller plugged in will not work and you have to restart.
This issue also persists sometimes when the bluetooth controller gets disconnected for a second.

second issue.

Dreamcast no longer runs off the joystick, you have to use the D-pad. playing marvel vs capcom is unbearable for my kids.

I did an update from 7.2.2 to 8.0 beta
