Testers wanted: major system upgrade (Pi3b+, KODI 17 and much more ...)

@wally007uk you need to remap your controller

Hi all,

My pads are recognized, but when i launch a game, they are no longer ...

I've tryed to reinstal, but it's always the same .

[Gaetan]

@franc-boisier Did you remap your controller ?

[Franc-Boisier]

@gaetan Yes, of course .

Hello. Yesterday I installed the beta version of Recalbox, following the instructions. After some time of use, it happened strange - after clicking on "Update Game List" EmulationStation is closed. After that, I checked the file system, and it turned out that there were errors on the root partition (probably because when Recalbox hung during the transfer of games through Recalbox Manager, I turned off the RP3 from the socket). After fsck -fy, the file system errors were fixed, and I decided to install the update (root.tar.xz) again. But the problem with closing the EmultationStation was not solved. Can I solve this problem without reinstalling Recalbox?

[VoSed]

Maybe I need to unzip/untar root.tar.xz to root directory?

@sumofoneinteger I'm seeing the exact same behaviour (from a freshly built image on a Pi3b+). It looks like hashlib is not working properly with Python 2.7. I'm trying to figure out why and will post a merge request if I succeed.

[Michael Baudino]

@Substring Not sure if it's the best place to post it but I had to make some changes to be able to build the image from scratch. I submitted this merge request against your branch.

[VoSed]

Not helped

Also if I choose "Reboot" in ES, ES just close

Hello,

I downloaded and installed the beta2 image on a fresh SD, mapped my Xbox 360 pad (wired) and configured the wifi.
Couple of observations :

• the wifi connection is unstable. Sometimes it can't connect to my box (freebox) and sometimes it "loose" the connectivity : it's kinda frozen and then unfreeze after 10 or 20 seconds. (my wifi connection was working fine with pi3)
• the wired connection via ethernet is stable
• via the windows 10 file explorer, when I try to access \recalbox (or directly the ip \192.168.0.44), the folder list is empty. It doesn't show me the share & roms folders
• I can access http://recalbox via my browser but I can upload only small files into the rom folders, so when I try to upload big roms via a sftp connection (client = WinSCP), the upload fails randomly (sftp error, bad packet), both in ethernet and wifi connection.
• Clock speed : it shows 1200 MHz and not 1400 MHz as expected
• Memory : it shows a total of 495 MB instead of 1 GB of RAM

Next round : I'll test some emulators.

@substring Hello substring, i'm just trying to install the recalbox on my raspberry Pi 3 B+ for 15 days without success...i'm desesperate !!!
I discovered your tutorial but i've got a problem, the We transfer Pi3/cm3/pi3b+ img link is no more availlable, and after reading all the posts of the 15 last days i access, i did not find the link. Is is possible to reactivate it. i found differents files types of recalbox 4.000 beta 6 but each time i expand files and copy them on the sd card, the start screen of the rpi3pb+ stay rainbow colored...So perhaps with image files it will work... Thank you for your answer
Cedrick

@cedrickm Find the beta here : https://mab.to/iNoBCIih0
Then flash it on your sd with Echter or Win32DiskImager , not just copy it.

[Franc-Boisier]

@franc-boisier I tried again yesterday, but nothing works, someone has an idea?

[OyyoDams]

Direct download links updated on 1st post

[Suriv]

@oyyodams

Thanks for the info.

Will it be notified when the image is updated?

[Franc-Boisier]

@suriv

Recalbox warns you when an update is available. However, it is true that it would be nice to know the version of the proposed image ...

[CedrickM]

@gaetan Thank you so much for your answer Gaetan, it is the first time for 2 weeks i manage to see the screen of recalbox on my RPi3B+ !!. Just two questions. As i 'm working with 3B+ version, is it possible to update the recalbox version to the last one ( normally i've readen it doesn't work...).Why when i strictly follow the recalbox tutorial (unpack the 4.000 beta 6 version) and copy the extracted files in the root of my sd card, it doesn't work). Because they say copy and no flash. That's why i've asked for help to obtain an image file. In the image you gave me, which version of recalbox it is ? I thank you for your answers and your patience, i'm novice as you can see, but i want to understand my mistakes.
Cedrick M.

[Gaetan]

@cedrickm No problem
Yes, you can update your Recalbox to the last version following thos instruction :

You need to edit your recalbox.conf and set updates.type to:

and then reboot
