      @kazki agreed, how much longer does it take to load from USB? Twice as long, 3 times as long?, maybe I should try and find out for myself 😄, yes the very thought of trying to get all the roms off my memory card, to do a new build for 3B+ when it’s available fills me with dread. Time to invest in a decent Nano USB memory stick!

        i just chronometered
        it took about 1min25sec to boot from usb drive on (i used a USB3.1 64GB Sandisk USB drive Sandisk Ultra fit newest version)
        compared to under 30 sec with a Sandisk Ultra micro sd card

        It can take a while to transfer roms through ethernet I think it's easier to manage my roms library from usb drive. That's not really the subject here so I won't develop

            I just bought my RP 3 B + put the latest Recalbox and did not work( no booting). 😞
            Do you know if there is a way to make it work ?
            Thanks!

              @gkralicek2 it's not a noobs problem, it's a firmware + kernel problem. Recalbox img most probably can't boot for these reasons. And for noobs : we're not yet compatible as we need the new board's id

                          In my point of view it's not really necessary to store ROMs on an external USB drive.
                          I've included whole "share" directory (containing ROMs, BIOS files, etc.) to my backup script. So if I have to reinstall Recalbox, I simply copy back needed files from my backup storage to new Recalbox installation.
                          If my microSD card breaks of any reason, as the same can happen with external USB drive, I can also use this backup. (Good because I've spent days to optimize gamelists, ROMs, etc.)
                          Adding/removing content using network share is also quite comfortable, at least by using LAN connector instead of WiFi. Same with editing gamelist metadata directly by using an editor - here the only annoying thing is having to stop/start emulationstation in shell each time.

                          Pi 4:
                          Sony DualShock 4 (2nd gen), 8BitDo Pro 2, 8BitDo SF30 PRO, Retroflag SUPERPi 4 Case, Recalbox 9.0

                          Pi Zero 2W:
                          GPi Case 2W, Recalbox 9.0

                            No it's not, especially for bigger games like PSX or Dos games

                              ~ 30 seconds for moving an average sized PBP-image of PSX game.
                              ~ 50 seconds for an uncompressed CD ISO.
                              That's not too bad... Maybe if your collection is >128 GB, but for mine I'm happy using LAN.

                                @lhari84 I do too. I only use lan to put roms on my recalbox. PSX games included. That's perfect 🙂

                                  D**n. I just ordered a Pi 3B+ from PiHut with controllers and of course - it's not yet supported... Getting only the rainbow screen with the lightning symbol, I guess that's normal?

                                  Eagerly anticipating for an update. 😐

                                      Let me state it clearly : its a matter of several weeks. Although it does work fine (but psp), we can't make a release yet as we can't manage updates yet. It will have to go through some.public testing along with a major system update (including kodi 17). So please don't be impatient 😉

                                          @substring just a question, for my curiosity if you can answer of course. What are the major improvements that you are planning for next Recalbox release? Give us a spoiler on that 🙂

                                            @hex12 the next release (tomorrow) is only bugfixes. Then, nothing much emulation related for now, mostly technical crap. As for now i'm working on the tinkerboard, i guess it's 80% done
