      @paradadf the links I posted here were the one used before (from github) and I wanted to update them for 4.1 and so @Substring gave me corresponding the giblab links

      As far as I know, the project code completely moved to Gitlab and isn't maintened on Github anymore ?

        @voljega someday we may setup the sync from gitlab to github, but that's not a priority. For everything that is code related, it moved to gitlab, yes

          I'm guessing that the MD5 tag in the manager for the dc_flash.bin will be updated at some point?

          It asks for dc_flash.bin MD5: d6e11a23f1fa01cddb5dfccf7e4cc8d7
          but this post states
          0a93f7940c455905bea6e392dfde92a4 dc_flash.bin

          I can't find the former but I do have the latter. When upgrading it doesn't show the dc bios MD5 in the online manager but gave them a tick (tried uploading a 'bad' bios and it still gave that a tick too!).

          I had originally uploaded
          dc_boot.bin MD5: d552d8b577faa079e580659cd3517f86
          dc_flash.bin MD5: 74e3f69c2bb92bc1fc5d9a53dcf6ffe2
          which seemed to work ok but maybe this is why I'm getting the occasional DC related bug???

            @matra can't tell ... What I know at least is that the DC emulation is far from being perfect

              @voljega please, read my questions again. I personally updated those files on the 4.1 branch in github, so there is no need to update them as for my understanding. The links you posted are from the 4.0.X branch, thus outdated.

                @paradadf well the links came from the wiki arcade doc and those were clearly obsolete

                        @gmgman the USB key a an OS itself, you must boot on it ! And 4GB is too small you need 8 GB at least

                          Most old computers have an option to boot when your start the computer, like pres f9 or press f12 for boot menu, there you can choose your usb key and if you did it right it will bot the usb key, on newer computers its diferent, you can also go into bios and look for boot optios and set your usb key there as your first boot option, and allthoug 4gb its not much, you should be able to test recalbox ok, i did that in my computer and it worked fine, then i installed into the hardrive.

                            Hi there

                            Not sure if this belongs in this thread, but contrary to the compatibility list for Wifi dongles; the TP-Link TL-WN822N Ver. 4.0 is not working at all (at least on my RPi3, see details in my thread in the Troubleshooting Forum). I got other Wifi dongles running without any problems, therefore I think I did setup my Recalbox correctly (blacklisting on-board adapter).

                            Is this something you take care of it at all? (Means, can I hope that it could be solved?)
                            How can I support you to get this issue solved?

                            Kind regards
                            Roman

                              @rk-aus-s hello this kind of dongle have often different subversion with different chipset.... So v1 can work and v2 don't.
                              I think I have one of this dongle in my apartment. I'll test that if I have a moment.

                                @rockaddicted Thanks a lot. My Version is v4 - so it seams to be the newest release of this adapter. If you need some logs - I would send you every log you want! 😉

                                  @rk-aus-s So I done a quick search and the realtek chipset inside this dongle needs a custom driver until kernel v4.7.
                                  We are actually on kernel v4.4.13, so you will have retry after a technical upgrade of recalbox in the next weeks.

                                      hey there, just 2 ideas perhaps they can be implemented in recalbox next release. #1 not sure if it belongs here but can you guys make emulation station display an "Image Not Found" or "Default image" image for the games that dont have an image, i got over 8000 games and only like 100 without an image, i think this could be a cool feature. #2 on the pcx86x64 distro, is it posible that recalbox would format the share partition in fat32? it helps make transfers easy on a dual boot enviroment. Thannks for such a great gaming distro.

                                        1: why not, a themable default image. It is an idea.
                                        2: nope, fat32 is an old and weak microsoft FS. Relcabox is a linux, so we use ext4, a native, robust linux FS.

                                          Well, its not about how weak or how best wich OS is, is about end user experience that counts, perhaps, in the future, as it happened with other linux distros, instead of distributing images ,it would be posible to crea an installer, that will give you the option to format the share partition in fat32 mode . On my side, it makes it easyer to update roms,scrape them even to install themes. I use dual boot with windows 7, to make things easyer. And on the themable default image, it would be great, i mean, i can download the image myself but adding 100 plus images of games that perhaps ill never play it would take alot of time. So a default image makes things easyer.
