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

I understand better why, during my tests with the new Rpi 3 A + with the installation of my image recalbox beta of 08/18/18, the update of 12/11/18 was not made. Updates can not be done now?

Hi friends,

First of all, upgrade link is fixed. But that's not all! We've just released a new version of the beta, with some improvements:

• Many fixes on ES and less memory consumption
• Better handle of memory between GPU and CPU, so now PSP games should launch really better
• Zipped WHDL support
• Default resolution fix on mupen

There are still some work to do:

• Keyboard bug in ES
• Auto pad configuration
• Kodi b*mp
• etc.

We're working on it

Any news about these emultors problems on rpi3 version?

BLUEMSX - Returns to the menu
FMSX - Stop on a black screen
HATARI - Returns to the menu after error message

@oyyodams Is the bugfix about displaying folder scraping included ?

[OldGreg]

@oyyodams Thanks a lot to every developers !

[jorgemagana]

@oyyodams
Thanks a lot to all the Dev Team ! Hope you are in the good way to deliver final release !!

@OyyoDams
since the last release, ES always crash after the introductive video (black screen with the version of the release).
I've try with a direct upgrading (from ES) first, and then I reflash my SD card with the same result.

Any idea about that issue ?

Bonjour à tous !
Petit retour d'expérience sur PC. Je n'ai pas trouvé de lien de téléchargement direct pour la beta pour X86_64. Du coup j'ai téléchargé ici la dernière version stable :
https://archive.recalbox.com/v1/upgrade/x86_64/recalbox.img.xz?source=install
Le démarrage se passe bien. Ensuite, j'ai modifié comme suit le recalbox.conf :
updates.type=https://review-master-slwsz0-archive-review-prod.recalbox.com
Une mise à jour était alors proposée dans le menu update. Je l'ai lancée. Elle s'est téléchargée mais le problème est qu'au redémarrage, j'aboutis sur un écran noir au lieu d'arriver sur ES. La machine n'est pas visible sur le réseau donc je n'ai pas pu faire d'archive. Du coup j'ai redémarré avec le bouton reset et relancé en mode verbose. Voici ce qui s'affiche :

J'ai fait aussi une archive avant le reboot (sur la version stable donc) :

Si quelqu'un a une idée... ou un lien de téléchargement direct de la beta X86_64, je suis preneur. Merci d'avance !

that's came after coping my old bios and roms folders

I had an installation with the full beta image on 3B+..
Now, with the update, I made a new install and applied the update.
It seems, the scarper doesn't save any data (scraping works), there where no problems with the old image before applying the latest Update.
Is this a known problem or anything I can do, to make it work?

[chris256]

Bonjour à tous ! Quelqu’un a une piste pour mon problème un peu plus haut ? La version PC stable s’installe mais quand je passe à la beta, le boot n’arrive pas jusqu’au bout et j’ai un écran noir... je me suis planté dans la procédure de MAJ ? Il y aurait un lien direct vers l’image PC de la beta ? Merci d’avance !!

[Gaetan]

@chris256 le lien direct est dans la description, le premier post

[chris256]

@gaetan Merci pour ta réponse mais le lien direct semble mener à la version rpi3 uniquement et pas à la version X86 64 bit que je cherche. Je l’ai relu plusieurs fois mais je suis peut-être passé à côté ?

~~Hi,

I'm trying to upgrade from 1st beta but /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-upgrade.sh can't find the upgrade files, and I can't figure how to reconfigure the target URL (not proficient with script editing

EDIT from above: something must have happened, no change on my side but update is now downloading (from emulationstation GUI)...

Direct link for X86/64 (re)added on 1st post

[chris256]

@oyyodams Thanks for the link ! I'm going to test it right now.

@oyyodams Thanks for the link ! I'm going to test it right now.

So I tested. There is what I noticed so far :

• no sound through HDMI, whatever I choose in the sound menu
• when I select Quit/shutdown, I have 'Booting recalbox' but it does not stop. I stop then through the web manager.
  Too bad, it was almost good...

And when I do Launch script on the web manager to generate a support archive, the wheel keeps turning and nothing happens. Moreover, I loose network connection to Recalbox if I do this.

If anyone is OK to have a look at it, I copied the logs contents from the web interface to a text file. Here are the lines that may be relevant :

• in messages : input: HDA ATI HDMI HDMI/DP,pcm=3 as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.1/sound/card1/input5
• in es_log : lvl0: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements! - lvl0: VolumeControl::init() - Failed to find mixer elements!

On the good side, I tried one n64 game and it runs very fine... Thanks for the work anyway !!

[Ignus Fast]

Interestingly, this version fixed my issues with PSX games (glitching, poor frame rate), but N64 games no longer load at all, and I have the same HDMI audio issue previously mentioned.

In es log, I see the following, but N64 games (using both emulators) just drop right back to es.

Sorry, one last thing - about half the time, my USB keyboard won't come up when es starts up. That's also new to this version. The PS3 controller always works, though.
