Hey there,

It's awesome to hear that you have Recalbox running smoothly on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a VGA666 and RGB setup on a CRT monitor. It's a unique and nostalgic gaming experience! Now, regarding your question about achieving the same setup on a PC with an AMD card, here's some information.

Recalbox is primarily designed for single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi, and it may not have official support for running directly on a PC with an AMD card. However, that doesn't necessarily mean it's impossible to achieve a similar setup.

To explore the possibilities, you could consider using a PC emulator or virtual machine with an operating system that supports Recalbox. For instance, you could install a lightweight Linux distribution, such as RetroArch, Lakka, or Batocera, on your PC and configure it to emulate the same gaming experience as Recalbox. These distributions often have better compatibility with PC hardware, including AMD graphics cards.

Another option is to look into specialized front-end software like EmulationStation or RetroPie, which can be installed on a PC running Windows or Linux. These front-ends allow you to organize and launch your emulated games while providing a user-friendly interface. While they may not offer the same plug-and-play experience as Recalbox on a Raspberry Pi, they can still provide a similar gaming environment.

I recommend exploring forums and communities dedicated to retro gaming enthusiasts, as they might have more specific knowledge and experience with running Recalbox-like setups on PCs with AMD cards. Sharing your question there could yield valuable insights and possible solutions.

I hope this information helps you in your quest to recreate the Recalbox experience on a PC with an AMD card. Good luck, and enjoy your retro gaming adventures!

First of all, thank you for the feedback

The problem is generally with the resolution and colour depth. Max800x600 256 colours.

Although the i915 integrated graphics card driver should fit, it is not initialised.

For testing I have tested with Ubuntu and Debian. I can get the graphics card to work under both systems.

The type of graphics chip set is that of the Intel jasperlake.

Is there an update in progress ?

Kind regards
Don

Merci de votre réponse
Mais l’idée serait.. de rajouter l’option soit dans la configuration de recalbox genre (start recalbox in 90°) on / off
ou switch game in 90° on /off
Bon je ne sais pas si cela est possible…
Il y tellement de personnes qui essaye toussent de bricoler une Façon de faire fonctionner le 90° que je pense qu il serait judicieux de rajouter cette option.
Cela renforcerait la puissance de recalbox par rapport au autre distribe (batocera ).

@martyn22 Recalbox comes standard with the default setting of 4/3. To switch to full screen, go to "game options" > "screen options" and change the resolution to 16/9. This solves the problem.

If it's already set to that aspect ratio, make sure the aspect ratio IN ADVANCED CORE SETTINGS is 16/9. (advanced settings > advanced emulator settings > choose emulator and check).

If you're using recalbox on a smart TV, check your TV's display settings. This varies from TV to TV.

@pitch64 oui c dommage, je suis sur que quelqu’un de calé un peu pourrait nous faire un script de détection au démarrage pour afficher tout ça correctement. Perso j’ai essayé mais pas réussi. Mes skills Linux sont plutôt orientés serveur.

@redfive hello, comme je dis plus haut, j’ai laissé tombé et fini par installer EmuDeck qui déploie également Emulation Station entre autres.

Donc pas de boot spécifique mais directement dans SteamOS.

Avec quelques manips, tu peux même afficher tes jeux directement dans la librairie du mode gaming de SteamOS.

@zing Merci pour cette réponse. Oui c'est vraiment une option de niche. Ca aurait été un simple "luxe" pour moi permettant de booter un peu plus vite qu'avec la carte SD.

Merci à l'équipe !

@infiltraitor

are you using overlays?

I don't use it, although I think it's nice, I prefer to only display the game on the screen, and in a few cases it affects emulation (however rare), I prefer to avoid it.

@digitalumberjack said in Issue starting any PSX games on Recalbox x86:

@infiltraitor
START -> ADVANCED SETTINGS -> ADVANCED EMULATOR CONFIGURATION

You sir have solved my concern in a mater of minutes. Thank you for your support and expertise.

@retrognm See if this helps:

@zing
I just updated Recalbox to 7.2.2 and the USB WiFi adapter is working! Hopefully this will help someone else who is having the same issue. Thanks for your help!

@rollbrett
Hallo rollbrett,

vielen Dank für Deine Ausführungen.

Wenn du die RetroArch Cores verwendest ist es immer der gleiche weg:
RetroArch öffnen -> Einstellungen -> Video

Genau da liegt aber mein Problem. Den Weg dahin kenn ich, aber egal was ich hier einstelle das Bild verändert sich nicht. Am Rasperry geht das aber am Laptop tut sich einfach nix.

Ich bin mir nicht sicher ob ich es richtig verstanden habe, aber die Auflösung kannst du so verändern:
https://recalbox.gitbook.io/documentation/tutorials/video/display-configuration/configure-an-external-display-x86-x86_64

Das hier ist für die Auflösung der Benutzeroberfläche aber nicht für die Spiele oder?

Danke und Gruß Lyrion

bonjour, avez vous fait le test de désactiver l'"UEFI"
et le "secure boot".

vous mettre en boot "legacy" ou "Launch CSM"

cela résoudra peut être votre problème 🙂
