      @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 The links you posted are from the 4.0.X branch, thus outdated.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.

                                      isnt that the same thing? i mean i do understand the diference betwen FS and OS but what i mean is, the end user experience is what matters. But at the same time i understand that if theres not much interest in a feature, most likely it will not be developed.

                                        @javier-sandoval the share partition was FAT32, but because of many reason, it was decided to change it to a linux native FS. Recalbox is a linux distro anyway... as it was already mentioned.

                                            Hi,
                                            I read the FAQ (yeah really :)) and I'm still on Unstable 4.1, Version is dated 23.03.17. I know the FAQ says April etc. and also I'm not seeing the Update in the GUI, but is it still possible to Update (somewhat) safely to the Stable Release?
                                            Or can I Update to the lastet Unstable and then to Stable?
                                            I'm asking because I have a Multiboot System with Libreelec set up and would rather avoid reinstalling everything 😕
