Recalbox 8.0 Beta!

[ylatef]

@pitch64 Hey, I just auto-updated to the beta because I couldn't get the fan working with 7.2.2, hoping the fan controller utility would work... but I just get "command not found" if I try and run recalbox-wpaf and I get the same error trying to run this script as if I tried to run the standard one in 7.2.2:

# Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/recalbox/scripts/argonone/argononed.py", line 9, in <module>
    bus = smbus.SMBus(1)
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
reboot

Any thoughts om where I should be looking to figure this out?

hi,

i am new in this forum and wondering if this thread is the right place to report bugs in the current beta.

i did an installation on my 2 pi4s, one mounted in an argon one case and the other one in a piboy dmg wich is freshly supported with the beta.

in the piboy dmg i can not get n64 and psp running, screen stays black, but the games can be terminated by pressing start and select. on the argon one everything is working fine. so i assume an issue with the dpi/gpio display output in the piboy dmg for those two systems. i don‘t have a mini/micro hdmi cable available to check if the signal might be on the hdmi output for those systems.

maybe someone can try to reproduce this to check/confirm and look into this.

piboy dmg is running on current firmware (1.0.5)

kind regards

and one more thing i recognized with the piboy dmg. everytime you restart the device the volume resets to the value configured in settings, even if the device should be muted by the volume wheel. when i turn the wheel just slightly to increase the volume a little bit it reduces to the value provided by the wheel.

this seems to occure for the startup video and then again when emulationstation is up and running.

The MAME's games "Field Combat" and "The combatribes" are detected wrongly as lightgun games. They works OK (without dolphin bar) but if I have the dolphin bar connected, then the game back to emulationstation on launch the game.
Tested on RB 8 beta.

@ylatef this error is completely normal, the daemon is started without the modules loaded, so once you have this error, press Enter then you can reboot.

The script is not compatible with recalbox-wpaf as it can't have the possibility to write in the bus of the pi to shut it down. If you would like to use this script, do not use recalbox-wpaf and if you would like to use recalbox-wpaf, don't use this script but you won't have full shutdown of the case.

RecalBox 8.0 Beta on Pi3+B on TV Tube 14PL screen locked in PacMan ghosts.

Hi, Im sorry to complain, but I was on 7.2.2 (with problems to get my hifiberry digi+ working) and today I was offered to update to 8.
Result: no roms are working anymore, my sound still doesn't work and my screen has the wrong aspect ratio. (it is 16:9 but my LCD monitor is 4:3).
I don't know what to do now.
AFAIK there is no way to downgrade to 7.2.2 again, right?
Please help me.

@gianpaoloracca I also have the problem with 8.0 so I found 7.2.2 archived version. Enjoy

@wizzard thanks!

@retroplayer88 said in Recalbox 8.0 Beta!:

I wanted to report Wi-Fi on my Intel NUC (NUC7i7BNH) with Intel Wireless-AC 8265 Card still not working properly. After 7.1 Version it won't connect with my FritzBox 7590 Router (No changes made on the Router since 7.1 Version) The only way to connect is with WPS, but after a Restart it doesn't connect anymore, I have to do the WPS Procedure every time.

Still no Fix with Final Version 8

Got a GPi Case, a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 and Recalbox 8.0. The Scraper doesn't work. But the bigger problem is I moved 65 megadrive roms (.md file format) into the md folder but they don't show up whereas the other games do. What's going on?

Hello!

What needs to write and where now to activae composite output at Rb Pi4 with Recalbox 8???

I mean it's need to write sdtvmode=0\1\2 at config.txt or where else now to get picture in composite?

[IGA]

@iga ok? it still needs to change line line dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d-pi4
to dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d in config.txt

• Why?

Will it be possible to output 15khz via the "VGA" D-Sub connector? (While also getting audio via HDMI?)

@bkg2k

not sure if i should ask you this here but

the issue of
"Dreamcast no longer runs off the joystick, you have to use the D-pad. playing marvel vs capcom is unbearable for my kids"
is persistent in the final version while playing Marvel vs capcom

weird thing is that SMK vs Capcom the joystick works.

Fresh install of 8.0

[Pitch64]

@paulska Retroarch changed the way sticks and dpad are enabled. If there is no stick used in original game, it won't work here too.

You can force their use by going into RetroArch settings (Hotkey + B in game) then go to Controls > Port 1 Controls > Analog to Digital Type and select any of the 2 forced options.

@pitch64

ill try that, and also try other games, maybe the config for whole dreamcast digital/analog is swapped in the final version. So possibly a mistake on their part which im guessing they would like to revert.

Hi, I am currently using Recalbox 6 on RP3b+ which I have configured for CRT support. I am using Jack-3xRCA cable.

Does the new Recalbox support this type of connection? If not, can you add it?
