Holy f***!

Battery status isn't even at the changelog and arrived on this version. You guys rock!!!

Thanks for all your hard work with this wonderful project!

I‘m not sure this happened on the previous version (probably), but I just noticed you don‘t get the restart, shut down and fast shut down icons when you press START and QUIT, but you see the icons when you just press SELECT.

And my clock is showing a wrong time altough my timezone is properly configured on recalbox.conf.

@butch2k I let it run all night long and it finally booted up. Looks like there is some kind of rom scanning or something which takes a hell lot of time.

I have problem with the last update. I have a problem with the last update. When I change the theme to the classic interface, the raspberry freezes and I have to unplug it as it does not respond. For it to work I have to keep the Next theme.

@voljega Ahhhh, thats right - it was @supernature2k that said "Ah ah clever man knows where to get info Yes the fix will be included in next release coming anytime soon"
Hope the fix is an undocumented addition to this release

[nicko]

Merci pour cette maj

Vous avez déjà des idées d'utilisation des messages popups ?

[supernature2k]

Hi all,

The memory leak patch is included in this release.

About the clock, it's a mistake, fix already found.
It iscurrently gmt time... Oops

@paradadf it's normal, icons only in select menu, not in any start submenus.

Glad you like the battery thingy

Clock won't move from main menu

I can increase the popup time, current is 3 secs

Help will be in pop up in next release

There's an easter egg in this release...

[Substring]

@nicko qq unes oui, les idées sont les bienvenues

[Gaetan]

@supernature2k I agree that 3 seconds for the pop up is a bit short, maybe 5 should be fine. Is there a way to modify it by ourselves ?
Also, maybe it could be great is there will be a possibility to disable the pop up if someone want

Hi i was wondering what gpu is supported with this latest recalbox as most games work ok off my older i5 cpu but Nintendo game cube and psp games struggle and lag so i want to add a gpu to fix this so i can play all games on recalbox at 60fps what gpu do you recommend? As i have tryed one 6gb nivida gpu but it didnt work and would not boot into recalbox.

[Substring]

@trentv8 nothing changed yet regarding x86 supported hardware

[trentv8]

@substring oh ok is there a list of gpus that have been tested that works? As i dont want to go out and buy a unsupported gpu? Cheers

ok so new to recalbox. I am running on old desktop via usb drive. I tired update and it froze. I reinstalled new version and now status is not connected even though I am using an Ethernet cable. also not showing any other storage devices which I have all my roms on separate usb stick. any ideas? not super tech savvy either

[Substring]

@ernsmaniac please make your own topic

[lackyluuk]

@supernature2k Thanks for the answers i really like the pop ups. They give a modern look & feel.

Can you cofirm as well the following thing?

This is maybe a bug: If I go to advanced settings and i move to the VRAM settings, the cursor just move further, just like I would keep my button pressed. It happens only on the vram entry in both directions.

[supernature2k]

@lackyluuk looks like this is a bug, working on it!

[nwildner]

Don't know if this is a bug that requres a new topic, or just a little usability issue that the devs could be already tracking . The new battery indicator shows the battery of the last controller connected:

• Connected Player1 through bluetooth = 50% battery is shown;
• Connected Player2, that has more battery = 75% battery is now shown, replacing the current icon;

And again, thanks for this wonderful release

[supernature2k]

@nwildner whaaaaaat ? On which board?
Thisbis supposed to show laptop battery level, not controllers

[nwildner]

@supernature2k Raspberry Pi 3. And it is showing the controller battery as i described above

I took a look at the EmulationStation code and read SDL_GetPowerInfo, and it does not seems to handle "multiple batteries" neither identify what kind of battery is being used through /sys dev filesystem. Maybe that's why i have this behavior that, the last controller connected is shown as battery inside the menu(and of course, PS3 batteries have some issue of not being recognized as SDL_JoystickPowerLevel for some weird reason).
