@bert8000 Keine sorge bis nexte mal freunde ;)

@lbesnard Sorry, it was a translation failure.
Now I understand, but have you ever tried to modify the videomode as I mentioned?

@gregggg
Pour une borne d’arcade ( j’ai fait la mienne), j’ai acheté un écran 22 “ avec une entrée hdmi...
Et bien, pour 100€ et les overlays pour masquer les vilaines bandes noires, je pense que ça vaut pas le coup de se prendre le chou avec des antiquités, après chacun voit midi...

Welp, inserted sd directly I was able to save the config did it on Windows 10.
Thank you.

Amigo consegui uma solução ,eu tbm estava com o mesmo problema ..o app KODI que trava o Recallbox a fazer a mudança para o HDMI na tv

Siga os passos,
No RECALLBOX aperte ENTER , depois OPÇÕES DE ÁUDIO marque a opção que convém.

Abra o KODI,vá em CONFIGURAÇÃO de ÁUDIO,depois em AUDIO UOTPUT e marque a mesma opção depois reinicie o sistema.

J'ai trouvé !!! Après de laborieuses recherches et des essais dans tous les sens, ça fonctionne parfaitement. Comme je suis sûr que je ne suis pas le seul, voici mes deux fichiers !
Bonne journée à tous.

NeoGeo emulator You can use pifba or a libretro core (fba2x,libretro)

neogeo.emulator=libretro

If you set libretro as neogeo.emulator, the line below sets the retroarch core (fba,imame4all)

neogeo.core=fba

N64 emulator is configured to display a screen with a 640x480 resolution (native n64 resolution) So you must use one of these video modes (DMT 4 HDMI,CEA 1 HDMI). If your screen is not compatible with one of these video modes, please check the recalbox's wiki.

##n64.videomode=CEA 1 HDMI
n64.videomode=CEA 4 HDMI

If you are using a CRT screen, please change the setting above with this one : n64.videomode=default Dreamcast emulator Like N64, such a CPU intensive emulator needs a small resolution Consider DMT 4 HDMI (640480) or DMT 9 HDMI (800600). If you have a black screen on dreamcast, try DMT 9 HDMI here

dreamcast.videomode=DMT 4 HDMI

Bon, toujours le même problème : pas moyen d'utiliser xrandr.
Il y a un truc que je ne pige pas. Il est écrit : "'dans votre terminal ssh taper a la suite. xrandr"
Pourtant ce n'est pas un terminal ssh que j'obtiens avec f4 puis ctrl alt f2.
Est-ce que ça ne pourrait pas être la raison pour laquelle je n'obtiens pas de réponse de xrandr ?

Trouvé: SPDIF était OFF, la video Putty m'a bien aidé ;-)

Résolu

Et là j'ai assez attendu? :D

Bon ben ben je trouve pas, du coup je suis parti sur l'idée d'un interrupteur sur l'alimentation de l'écran, je n'ai pas encore testé mais ça devrait le faire...

@lesqual63 Hello, rgb-pi est super simple d'autant plus qu'il a modifié une recalbox 4.1 (du coup pas de mise à jour hein!!!)
Mais elle est bien faite pour l'avoir testée... tu burnes l'image, tu mets des roms et hop tu joues sur la tv en vrai RGB, l'image est magique :D... les résolutions sont adaptées pour la plupart des jeux. il a fait un gros taf de config... il faudrait reprendre tout ça dans RB, mais le manque de temps m'en empêche.

Essaye de reflasher ta SD. Si ca ne fonctionne toujours pas, essaye avec une autre SD.

I have managed to get sound working, although the volume is high and cannot be changed from the Recalbox GUI. But too much sound is better than no sound ;-)

What I did was this:

Remounted root as writable:

mount -o remount,rw /

Add env var for nano to work:

export TERM=xterm

Created a .asoundrc file:

nano ~/.asoundrc

with the following contents:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi:0,3"
}
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}

Saved the above file and rebooted from the GUI.

I still didn’t have sound and figured I might need another approach, like directly editing the conf file. Before doing that I went one more time to the GUI and tried selecting each audio output. Lo and behold now hw:0,7 worked!

To see if the settings would stick I rebooted. Sound still worked.

For grins I ssh’d back in and tool a look at ~/.asoundrc. To my surprise it was different than the file that I created. It now contained the hw:0,7 settings that must have come from my audio change in the GUI. Here’s the current contents of ~/.asoundrc:

pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 7
}

ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}

Apparently the HDMI device 7 does work on my hardware as long as it’s set as the asla default? Strikes me as odd that I could not get this to work when calling aplay directly.

Anyway it appears that the real issue here is that the absence of a writable ~/.asoundrc file was the problem all along. Making the partition writable and creating this file has now allowed recalbox to be able to successfully write its own contents here and make sound work.

If I'm right about this and Recalbox needs to be able to create and write to the ~/.asoundrc file then this seems like a bug.

I guess I’m happy with this because I have sound. But it’s kind of a pain that the system volume slider is useless. It seems like the PC is now pumping out full volume, so I have to turn the TV sound bar way down when using recalbox.

It would be nice to be able to specify HDMI as the output and be able to control the volume. If anyone has ideas, please let me know. Otherwise I’ll just take what I have as a win.

So i got to the point where i needed to download the ftp clients i downloaded a couple such as filezilla and winSCP and I cant connect even after connecting wifi to recalbox. Im at a loss was trying to get this done for the holidays and play with family.

Any help is greatly appreciated

@martimallow there is a _readme.txt file inside ecery rom folder which explains the supported formats. n64 does not support zipped files (standalone at least, which is the default), so you’ll need to uncompress them.

Toujours pareil par contre j'ai un nouveau pb, impossible d'éteindre ou de redémarrer correctement:
ES se ferme puis j'ai une page noir avec un pointillé qui clignote en haut à gauche et fini par se figer mais le pc ne s’éteint pas... obligé de rester appuyé sur le bouton marche pour forcer l’arrêt...

Bref j'en ai marre, je sent que je vais tout supprimer et repartir de zéro mais ça me fait littéralement chi** de repasser des dizaines d'heures à transférer toutes mes Roms...

Hola Zing,

Gracias por tu respuesta, al final lo he solucionado de otra manera.

Resulta que no era problema del vídeo como yo creía, si no del audio.

Instale recalbox sobre un ordenador con tarjeta de sonido integrada, lo cual instalo los drivers de esta en su primer inicio. Al poner el ordenador mas tarde, conectado a la TV y cambiar la configuración del Audio para que saliera por el HMDI, era cuando dejaba de funcionar los emuladores que te comentaba.

Yo entiendo que habría algún conflicto con ambos drivers instalados, asi que desactive la tarjeta de sonido desde la BIOS de la placa base, para que el recalbox en su primer inicio detecte solo la salida de audio HDMI y no instale los drivers de la otra. Reinstale el recalbox y de esta menera se solventaron todos mis problemas :-)

@glockwizard ¡Hola!
No tengo un ODROID XU4, así que nunca tuve este problema, pero investigando al respecto, lo único que encontré sobre los problemas de HDMI en esta placa fue el enlace:
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Odroid-XU4-ignore-HDMI-CEC
No sé si ese es el problema, pero creo que puede estar relacionado ...
