      Hi,

      With the magic of such an open source project, everyone can participate to improve Recalbox.

      @lmerckx is currently working on a dosbox update and we'd be happy to let you test and have your feedback.

      The goal of this new version:

      • Joystick deadzones are now configurable
      • IPX is enabled to allow network play

      Here is how to test it (not available yet for Odroid C2):

      1. First of all make a backup of your SD card or USB key
      2. Edit recalbox.conf and set updates.type to: https://review-316-wip-bu-ednj25-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com
      3. Reboot and upgrade

      • For deadzones: new properties are available in the configuration file (to be tested)
      circularinput: enable translation of circular input to square output. Try enabling this if your left analog stick can only move in a circle.
      
      deadzone: the percentage of motion to ignore. 100 turns the stick into a digital one.
      
      • There is a procedure for IPX here: https://www.dedoimedo.com/games/reviving/dosbox_multiplayer.html

      P.S. @voljega you're really welcome here 😉

      We're waiting for your feedback 🙂

        Je comprend bien que le clavier virtuel n'est pas encore compris dans cet update ?

              I'll try to test this this weekend.

              If I have some spare time, I may try to implement universal mapper (as described there : https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/12135/iip-generation-of-custom-mapper-for-dosbox ) to go along @lmerckx modifications in a next release
