Recalbox 8, Pi 4B, Argon One

[Diebstahl]

Hello,
I got a Argon One Case yesterday and tried the whole day to get the fan working.
(Recalbox 8.0, Argon One V2, Raspberry 4B 2GB, Windows 10, Putty 0.76)
I searched the internet and the search funtion here and i found the page:
https://www.argon40.com/learn/index.php/2020/03/10/argon-one-installation-guide-for-recalbox/

I tried to install it.
But the fan doesn't move at all (for 1 sec when i start the pi).
I also tried to set the fan to "always on" to see if the script is working - nothing.

I uninstalled and installed the script by using Putty several times but it doesn't work.
Does anybody have the answer for my problem? (I tried it on Wifi and direct cable connection)

Thanks a lot in advance.

@syntaxeror Thanks a lot.
I can't really read french. But with translater it will work i hope!
Thanks i try it later.

Unfortunatly it doesn't work that way for me.
Same result as before. I tried again to set the fan to "always on".
It doesn't start.
I also tried to set Recalbox back to factory settings.
Same result.

That's the Recallbox support script if needed

I can't really read french.

Translated version:

For Argon One case owners, the script to be installed so far no longer works on version 8 for technical reasons. However, I was able to modify it and make it work.
To install it, download the script, unzip the archive, copy and paste it in your Recalbox in the same directory as the recalbox.conf file and run this command via SSH:

bash argonone-setup-recalbox.sh

Note: if you use fan management now integrated in this version, the script will not work mainly to shut down the case.

@zing Thanks I unzipped it and did all this with Google translate. That fan isn't working as before.

@diebstahl The modified script doesn't work for me either.

I am keen to have the script fixed as the case heats up a lot without it.

[Diebstahl]

@flagone I am glad i not the only person with this issue. I hope it will be fixed soon.
I have to use another cheap case. I worried about overclocking so I leave it be until it is fixed.

[Flagone]

@diebstahl I'm pretty sure I fixed it and it wasn't the script's fault.

In my /boot/recalbox-user-config.txt there was various settings at the end for the NESPi4Case and Retroflag cases. For example:

dtoverlay=gpio-poweroff,gpiopin=4,active_low=1,input=1

I commented these out and the install script worked without error. The fan is now running. Hope it helps.

Now I just need to work out why my 8bitdo Pro 2 controllers keep losing connection.

@flagone Hello, i tried again eand magically work. Don't know why. Thanks all.

Forgive my ignorance on not knowing, but what do you mean by commented these out?

I’m having the same issue pi4 4gB recalbox 8.0.2 or the newest version as of last week and I run my roms from a USB key drive. Once I run the cue script I reboot and it gets stuck on the black screen with the recalbox logo. Ultimately I have to reflash my sd to fix it all as it won’t even go back into terminal or access through putty.
