Recalbox 7.0 RPi3B+ several problems

[n4rcotic]

Hello,

i'd like to report the following problems that occured with a clean install of RecalBox7.0 on my RaspberryPi3B+:

• Boot-Videos seem to be a bit zoomed in/cut off at the top & bottom
• Share partition won't show up when i connect the SD-card via USB-adaptor to my PC (Win10)
• C64-Games take a looooong time to load
• Video-Snaps do not play (well i saw them play just once, now even if i reboot the whole system they won't play)

Think i will test a new and fresh install again..

Ok, so i tested a new installation, at least the first two problems

• Boot-Videos seem to be a bit zoomed in/cut off at the top & bottom
• Share partition won't show up when i connect the SD-card via USB-adaptor to my PC (Win10)

still remaining. Regarding the first one it seems that others also have this problem. I would appreciate any help what i have to do to use the sd-card on my pc to access the share-folder.

I haven't seen any other user reporting this type of problem, possibly the problem is specific, can you test it on another computer?
Or, can you test it, open disk management on windows 10, and check if the SHARE partition isn't showing up there? If so, you can try to assign a letter to this partition so that it appears in Explorer.

Assigning a letter to the share-partition via windows 10 disk management was the solution! It does work now, thank you very much!!!

@Zing
i totally forgot to ask: will the share-partition be deleted in case of a new installation?

@n4rcotic I think if you watch this video you will have your answer (I recommend activating the subtitles): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skeULeTu7p8&list=PL2oNQ0AT7fx2ExiSNrfHUzga5GnogI4sh&index=23

Thank you very much for your help, i'm sorry it took so long. I tested everything proposed in the Post you mentioned, but it didn't really help. I also changed the values mentioned by Ian to 1920x1080, but that also didn't solve that the boot videos never really fit the screen (i'm using an LG 4K TV btw).

I also gather some problems that i still have with RB 7.0, will be finished in two or three days and add them right here.

@n4rcotic I recommend you wait a few days, soon the new version of Recalbox will be released, with several bugs fixed, it is more worth waiting and testing the new version ...
