I figured it out.

My specific issue was because I'm using the Retroflag GPi case. The case's screen requires a patch to be installed to use Retropie. I forgot about it because the Recalbox has an install package specifically for the GPi case (which is super nice) and it just works with the screen/buttons. I've re-flashed Recalbox a few times and I forgot to manually reinstall the patch when switching back to RetroPie.

I have my 1.4tb ROMS folder on my D drive, and just installed Recalbox on a usb stick, that stays in the back of the PC out of sight when I want Recalbox to boot up, and I just unplug it when I want Windows to boot so I can play regular PC games.

ı downloaded 32GB image file from internet

This is against the Recalbox license, so it's illegal, and we don't support this kind of image on the forum.
Ask for support from whoever modified the image, or download and install the latest official version which probably won't have this problem, but if you have problem with the latest official version then you can ask for help on the forum.

@0zzy si , ed e' la cosa migliore , visto che le schedine ZERO DELAY che trovi anche in amazon costano poco.
questa resta una soluzione per chi non avendo un cab "JAMMA"..puo cablarsi i tasti e leve come vuole... e quindi poi usare 2 porte USB del proprio RASPBERRY
mentre chi ha gia acqusitato una JAMMA RGB card, ovviamente no va a tagliare tutti i collegamenti pulsanti al connettore jamma, per varie motivazioni , essendo gia pronto per accogliere schede gioco originali jamma, oppure le famose pandora ecc... in questo caso, (e sono tanti) sul proprio PI3/pi4 continueranno a collegarsi sul GPIO la schedina JAMMA, la quale per le uscite video usa le stesse RGB SCART
mentre per i pin INPUT usa solo quelli per i protocolli.... QUELLO CHE MANCA (in maniera assurda direi) a recalbox....
purtoppo dai devs..scena muta al riguardo.

sto aspettando se finalmente rilasceranno il nuovo software RGB-pi Os4
dove sfruttare finalmente gli input JAMMA dal pi4... come prestazioni video, siamo a livello del recalbox , ovviamente piu opzioni e testato.
peccato perche il recalbox poteva ritagliarsi il primato e non solo per i CAB JAMMA RGB.... e servirebbe poco.

Unless I stand corrected

You don't know all the functions of the program apparently.

And it doesn’t allow you to select partitions only .img

The Program lets you select the partition, you're probably just used to using the program's "write" function, where you choose an image and the partition you want to write the image to.

But, it has a "Read" button for backing up a recorded image, where you select the partition you want to back up (read the comments above), and in the path you put where you want to save the backup image.

Search a little more on the internet to find more detailed tutorials, even on youtube you should find something.

How can he make a mistake using win32

Selecting a partition that is unrelated to Recalbox is an example of a mistake.

@zing said in PSX memory card from .mcd (fpse) to recalbox .srm format converter?:

If that doesn't work, test using MemcardRex and converting your .mcd file to .mcr and then renaming it as I explained above.

Yess! It works! Thank you very much!

Simplified process:

Take .mcd file (its the whole memory card file from fpse) Use MemcardRex and open it. Save As with .mcr format. Now name it to the exact rom name with .srm format
And it should work.

PS. I also don't want use external USB for storing my Roms, I will be using 4 usb ports for controllers,mouse and keyboard

@Zing Thanks, very useful video. I did not understand that with Recalbox the recommendation is to use external USB. Now that I know this I will start with a fresh installation and add external storage and then load the roms directly to that.
