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

[PapaTriman]

@substring ok

So i used to install it on a bartop. I usually use retropie on it, with gpio controllers.
I activate the gpio driver on recalbox.conf but non mapping possible on Émulation Station.

Are there any change in the gpio connexions?

(Sorry for the Bad english level )

[Substring]

@papatriman yep, major upgrade on the gpio driver, but it's supposed to work as before. I'll take a look in the next days. Don't forget ypur support archive please

I did the remapping of the Controller again (this time i was able to map L3 correctly by navigating up and repeat until the right button was recognized), and now control in Games is possible!

Did also test Wifi, but with no success.
I enabled Wifi first, then went to WIFI SSID and there is no WIFI recognized.
When i go to "Manual Input", then the window with the letters seems to be cut. You can not see every letter.
Here a Picture:

I was able to enter the SSID and password anyway (if you move the cursor to the hidden area, you still know which letter is currently highlighted, because it is shown below).

But it did not connect. Maybe the Wifi-Card from the NUC is not recognized/compatible.

Did a bit more testing with different systems.
So far most is working fine (tested GB, NDS, Gamecube, PSP).

But with PSX i have following problem:
With Libretro Cores MEDNAFEN_PSX and MEDNAFEN_PSX_HW, when i try to increase resolution to for example to 2x (in RetroArch Quick Menu under Options, Internal GPU resolution), and then resume, the game crashes and exits to EmulationStation Menu.

@joinski thank you for all that testing ! Was this working before ?

[joinski]

@substring
Yes, it was working before (in Version 18.07.13) without problems.

@Substring bon y'a beaucoup de mieux sur la GPD Win :

• l'image s'affiche et je peux naviguer dans ES sans problème mais c'est pivoté à 90° (enfin c'est le sens natif de l'écran)
• le gamepad intégré est bien reconnu et déjà mappé (au moins start, select, pad, a et b)
• le clavier n'est pas reconnu bizarrement
• quelquesoit le système, il y a retour au menu dès que j'essaye de lancer un jeu (testé que les jeux intégrés)
• plus chiant ma clé ethernet USB pluggable qui était parfaitement reconnue avant ne l'est plus du tout maintenant
• je peux pas me connecter en wifi car le clavier virtuel n'est affiché qu'à moitié (alors que les menus start et select sont affichés en entier)
• donc pas de wifi, pas d'ethernet, ça va être chaud pour la suite des opérations.... j'vais essayer avec parangon ExtFS

EDIT :
an ajoutant xrandr -o right dans /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc j'ai bien l'image qui bascule correctement par contre elle est en bas à gauche et je ne vois que le 1/5ème supérieur...

pas trop moyen d'aller plus loin pour l'instant, ptet qu'il faut forcer le 720p dans xinitrc mais alors j'en sais foutre rien comment faire

@voljega lets follow the instructions and keep this thread in english please.

@Substring

I tested with the joystick snes30 8bitdo, XBOX 360 with receiver and the only problem I noticed is that it does not work on kodi 17

@substring I tell you a fresh report : https://file.ac/oJYDOq7Jgr4/ maybe it can help

[0x77696e]

@Substring but WTH, why all is working after rebooting ES.....

[Substring]

@voljega you must remap controls, there were some changes that made remapping mandatory. I'll try to circumvent this, as the change is mistly important to kodi

[Substring]

@azvarel which pad doesn't work ? So far i've tested with a x360 copy and a 8bitdo nes30, both working fine

[Substring]

@0x77696e i haven't had time to dig through your problem for now

[azvarel]

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

which pad doesn't work ? So far i've tested with a x360 copy and a 8bitdo nes30, both working fine

the two joysticks (x360 and snes30) do not work only in kodi, ES and retroarch work perfectly fine

[Substring]

@azvarel try renaming ~/.kodi just to see then launch again kodi. Have ypu remapped ypur pads ?

[Gaetan]

@Substring En éteignant Recalbox, je reste coincé sur l'écran noir avec le petit logo en bas au milieu avec la ref de la version. Je suis obligé de débrancher à l'arrache car je n'ai plus accès au webmanager.

[voljega]

@substring unless it prevents emulators to display, I have no problem at all with controls ?

[Substring]

@gaetan is ypur share on your sd card ?

[Substring]

@voljega configgen crashes if pads are not remapped ad there are some new values stored + normalized buttons order between sdl2, retroarch and the joypad plugin for kodi
