@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 !!

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.

lvl2: Configure emulators command : -p1index 0 -p1guid 030000004c0500006802000011810000 -p1name "Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller" -p1nbaxes 6 -p1devicepath /dev/input/event14

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.

@ignus-fast Hi ! Are you using X86 version or RPI ? Because n64 runs fine for me on this version. About HDMI audio, what is your problem ? On my side I don’t have sound through HDMI...

[Ignus Fast]

I apologize for not being specific - this is the x86 version. I'm still running the previous version on my Pi because I don't have a backup of that drive yet - figured I'd experiment with the PC.

I see 6 available devices for audio - 2 chipset, and 4 HDMI. But none of them produce any sound, and all constantly reset the ES volume to 0.

I'll have to back up my Pi drive so I can get physical with it.

[chris256]

@ignus-fast Thank you for your feedback about audio. I have exactly the same issue as you do. Sorry I can’t help you but may be a developer will have a look at it. Have a nice day!

@toniosj @moguai I've just tested NAS access over wifi on the latest build, and I can confirm it works.

Here is my /boot/recalbox-boot.conf:

sharedevice=NETWORK

sharenetwork_smb1=SHARE@192.168.1.94:Games/recalbox:username=recalbox,password=******

[chris256]

@oyyodams @toniosj @moguai For those having problems, it may be related to the smb version. You could try adding vers=1.0 at the end of the line, for instance:

sharedevice=NETWORK
sharenetwork_smb1=SHARE@192.168.1.94:Games/recalbox:username=recalbox,password=******,vers=1.0

@chris256
Just because I'm interested using this feature in future:
Which SMB versions are supported? I've disabled SMB1 on my NAS for security reasons, is SMB2 or even SMB3 supported too?
Thanks

@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 ?

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

@OyyoDams
this is my issue with this last release (when I try to start ES from root) :

"#lv10: /recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/es_system.cfg files does not exist! [je confirme]
lv10: System "favorites" is missing name, path, extension, or command!
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost: : exception_detail: :clone_impl <boost: :exception_detail: :error_info_injector<boost: :property_tree: :ptree_bad_path> >'
what(): No such node (gamelist)

@lhari84 this might answer your question regarding samba versions. I haven’t tested it myself though.

@matthieu24 did you read the first post ?

@pkerga @OyyoDams @Bkg2k
That's a favorites issue.
I've deleted all the gamelist.xml contening favorites ( <favorites>true</favorites>) and the problem is solved.

But yet, I couldn't add any favorite. Adding a favorite on ES shows the symbol of favorites (the pad) AND the barred eye, and ES crashs when I want to restart.
