[4.1-Unstable] Bug reports

[kelv]

@Substring Not for being a nightmare but there is something wrong in the latest 4.1 unstable release. I noticed in the fresh vanilla instalations I did in both sd cards that when you change something in recalconfig.conf is not reflecting well on the menu after rebooting. Even when changing things on the menu are not persisted or reflected after rebooting.

For example the kind of setup is always back to stable, no matter it's changed on the file or on the menu. The same with the overclock. That back up my theory with kodi that is also not persisting the changes. Pls could it be any folder or mount that is only r instead of r,w?

@kelv Most of the sd card is RO (for read only), but this never prevented kodi from working. That is UNLESS your share is mounted as read-only because of a file system error (check dmesg)

Regarding the updates, and what really surprises me, is that the new unstable we released on sunday has a very important feature : updating the recalbox.conf. We made it the good way : it retrieves your previous settings of course. So if you set to unstable, and after updating to the last unstable, it still forces stable, i'm getting veeeeeeery suspicious, as my 4.1 SDs work flawlessly

@Substring I found the "bug".

In the new recalbox.conf there is a new line for dreamcast (at the end):

dreamcast.videomode=DMT 9 HDMI

When I set the videomode to DMT4 HDMI then everything works again.
For the future it could be nice to have a documentation of the changes of the recalbox.conf.
Is there a documentation about these videomodes?

[Update]
Found this one:
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/N64-:-return-to-ES-(EN)
Which videomode was before?

[Substring]

@Skazz a documentation about these video modes ? Dude, it's just common raspberry stuff ... You can have a look at https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Video-configuration-detailled-(EN) also

I have problems with Dreamcast emulator too. It plays only windowed, not in fullscreen. I had to set the config to CEA 16. It there a other way to play in fullscreen? I reset the config to get a clean one, but nothing changed.

[Substring]

@badges3000 same trick as N64 : we use lower resolution for performance. You should check how your tv/monitor upscales, it's not a bug on recalbox side

[Skazz]

@Substring

Suggestion: the videomodes (especially for PSX DC N64) could be changeable via the Recalbox menu. Like the selection of the emulation in the actual releases.
It would be another great feature.

[Substring]

@Skazz such a thing could be done for ANY emulator, but this is definitely not a priority in ES. I'd rather have it in the web manager for now + it requires a little knowledge + tvservice must get the good EDIDs (which is not always the case).

Hi, i'm using in pendrive unstable version for pc 64 bits.
I burn the image twice, and i have the same problem, doesnt save the config changes, and If I connect in pc with linux the "share" partition isn't created/accesible ... I thought the first boot is not creating well the share partition.

@rockaddicted how do I activate the driver correctly?
I use controllers.xboxdrv.enabled=0 to deactivate the xboxdrv. After the upgrade to 4.1 my Xbox Controller doesn't work correct.

[rockaddicted]

You have nothing to do, just to remapp your controller in ES.

[Substring]

I'd need mappings of wired xbox360 controllers, wired xbox one controllers. For this purpose, the easiest for you is to go to http://recalbox/help then launch the script and paste here the generated link.

Thank you very much

[rockaddicted]

@substring wired xbox360 controllers with xpad, are already up to date on repo.

[styletwo-wan]

Has the "bluetooth major improvement" been integrated into the build 11402041 ? Thank you.

[paradadf]

@styletwo-wan I don't know, but just update to the latest build and you'll have it.

[peterpan123123]

@paradadf btw. update is superslow right now...

[rockaddicted]

@peterpan123123 yep bandwith issue... you will have to retry later.

@Substring ok i've been able to get the last libretro core working (from lakka xu4) so i guess it should be added back (I am not sure I understand your defconfig pr thing : should I add a line like BR2_PACKAGE_LIBRETRO_SCUMMVM=y ?)
2 issues though:
_ scummvm does not launch games directly, seems to be a recent scummvm bug, related to dir scan might be fixed soon

• more critical : i cannot browse the /recalbox/xxx/ folders and add games (grayed out folders) : any idea ? i can put and browse a game folder anywhere else (with the remout -rw) but that is not the purpose. seems there is conflict with scummvm own access rights and recalbox access rights. and i can't find the relevant .ini files to force the path. any idea much appreciated (very few other posts on the same issue, grayed out folders in scummvm for sd card browsing)

wifi stopped working. Can recalbox connect to a wifi with ssid hidden?
I typed correctly the name and password, but it dosnt connect. Only via ethernet cable.

My Recalbox manager (http) is in french, how to change back to english?
I tried the brazilian and USA flag, but the language dosnt change. My system is in portuguese by the way.

Thanks
