@dieseldave87 The purchase/sale/distribution of the already assembled Recalbox system is illegal, as it goes against the license to use Recalbox, ROMs and BIOS. Apart from the fact that the system is distributed for free by the Recalbox team, and whoever sells it unfairly profits.
Therefore, the forum does not support this type of image, if you want support as it is, you will need to contact whoever created this image.

In addition, the forum does not support outdated versions, as many errors are errors that have already been fixed over time.

As already said by Alvin, If you want support on the forum, download and install the latest official version:
https://download.recalbox.com/

As this is a third-party modified version, which goes against the forum's support rules, I'll block this topic.

@coolcat64

I do not have the NesPi4 case.

So your problem has no direct relation to this one, you should open a new thread.

It seems like the problem is intermittent for me

I don't believe it's a Recalbox bug, it seems to be a problem exclusively for you, as I don't see reports from other users.

but I would need to have some bread crumbs for what to investigate.

Use the latest official version, and the default theme and then check if it happens again, if it happens, open a new thread with as much information as possible.
Also test with another joystick if possible, intermittent errors can be caused by some bad hardware contact for example (I'm not saying this is the case, but it's a possibility).

@modigazzi please, do not ask the same thing twice.

Sometimes it happened, try again after few time probably it will work smoothly.

The xu4 kernel won't happen before months. I started working on it, there are too many changes involved regarding emulators and kodi

@alcartur ok, i.ve been searching a little more, it's gonna be much more complex than just adding a device id in an existing driver (which is what i had hoped so far ...)

Root has a percentage of free space reserved.

Login as root via ssh
Password is recalboxroot

Run df -h
If it shows the size for "Available" as being "0" and "Use" as 100%, but "Used" is < "Size"...

Run dumpe2fs /dev/mmcblk0p3 | grep -i reserved
This will prove the space is reserved.

Now that space was reserved for the root user so to reclaim that space, run
tune2fs -m 0 /dev/mmcblk0p3

Now the root user can run out of space and there are some possible problematic issues that could occur, but you can use your full capacity.

Warning: This should only be performed by power users who are not afraid of the command line and understand the commands they are running.

@Maxime-Allard-Valade thanks for your help!!

@paradadf
Hello, thanks for your information.
The machine is basically a stand up arcade machine. Which has been built from scratch using a timber frame construction, 19" ASUS LCD screen, joy sticks, Raspberry Pi3, speakers etc. The Recalbox software was pre-installed onto a SD card and had a few thousand games uploaded. To be honest I wasn't aware of it being illegal to sell something with Recalbox on it. The person was a private seller and built it for himself but no longer used it hence the sale, I do apologise if I've caused any issues by purchasing it.. I'm just intending on using it for personal use and as for the seller he was a random person on Gumtree here in Australia and he delivered it to me which from what I can see it is the only one he sold and doesn't have any more as I just did a search and couldn't find any.

I'll send a mail to the owner, like i did for the owner of mini emu...
