Official recalbox 4.0.0 beta thread

[voljega]

@roxkaddicted je critique pas le passage en ro qui va clairement dans le bon sens.   C'est juste que pour des gens qui ne connaissent pas grand chose à l'informatique, la manipulation de certains fichiers devient du coup extrèmement compliquée... La partition se remet toute seule en RO au reboot au moins ou il faut faire l'opération inverse ?   <p style="text-align: center;">en fait l'idéal dans l'avenir serait peu-être de masquer toutes ces opérations et l'accès aux trois principaux fichiers de conf (conf.txt, recabox.conf, es_systems.cfg) derrière recalbox-manager qui se chargerait tout seul de modifier les droits des partitions et les fichiers ? a minimiserait les erreurs et les connaissances à acquérir</p>

@voljega et oui on a bien conscience que le passage en RO va "bloquer" certaines personnes ayant leurs habitudes sous la 3.3.0. Mais on part du principe que 95% des gens utilisant recalbox n'ont pas vraiment besoin de faire des modifs en SSH pour utiliser, configurer le système. Donc que ça passera de façon transparente pour beaucoup. Pour les autres il faudra qu'ils modifient leurs habitudes, et prennent le réflexe de passer en RW avant d'éditer des fichiers. Après bientôt il y aura les tutos, et wikis qui vont bien aller pour accompagner et guider tout le monde. Donc pareil ça se devrait également bien se passer. Pour répondre à ta question, oui le passage en RO au reboot est automatique. Sinon bien entendu rien n'est figé et il n'est pas impossible qu'à l'avenir, dans les prochaines versions, des solutions soient trouvées pour faciliter les choses (faire des diff entre les fichiers de conf présents dans /recalbox/share/ et /recalbox/share_init/ pour les mises à jours, intégration de plus de fichiers de conf au recalbox-manager, etc...). Mais chaque choses en son temps

Hey peoples, firstable, thx to make dream become true. The child inside me bless you. Well, i've a few questions about the new recalboxOS. It's about screen compatibility. For some reason, there's some screen (hdmi) who need drivers to work. Is it possible now to install external driver on the recalBox ? I bought last week ago, a 7inch LCD screen on amazon, a waveshare screen. It work  in HDMI with  my computer or my PS3, but he doesn't work on my Pi2. I read on their wiki that i need to install some drivers. How could do that ?

Looks like now, the .sav file is been storage in the same folder as the rom, but for some reason the .state file is storage in the new savefile folder

Weird save + savestates files must be in the same folder /recalbox/share/saves/system_name

It has to be fixed in the second beta.

If you are talking about rolling back to gpsp core by default, nope sorry we'll keep mgba as default core. But you are now able to define your prefered core very easily, so it is not a big deal. About your problem with pcengine cd games, I'll take a look this evening. I didn't test it... But we didn't update this core between 3.3.0 beta 17 et 4.0.0, So I don't really understand the problem without practice my own tests

[rockaddicted]

@Yeton, Hello, hummm for a specific hardware support, you should open an issue on recalbox's github. Describe the situation, and give more informations as possible (screen ref, link to the driver, etc...)

[daniel-panizo-montano]

@rockaddicted  Looks like we don't understand each other XD.  The default core saves where it should, but the gpsp core saves in the same folder of the rom. I was not talking about changing the default core, as you say,  i can change the core easily. I was thinking in fix the location to save in "/saves/gba" as well with the gpsp core. If  you can test my PcEngineCD problem i would really appreciate that ^^. (English is not my native language, so sorry if i not express myself properly. It would be a lot worse if i try to do it in french :P)

[rockaddicted]

@Dragda haha no problem english is not my native language too, and I didn't really listen during school ... so ... So in recalbox 4.0.0, when you save a game using the default core (mgba) files are created in /recalbox/share/saves/gba, BUT when you do the same thing once forced gpsp as gba core, the save files are created in /recalbox/share/roms/gba/ ?

[daniel-panizo-montano]

@rockaddicted   That's it.

[rockaddicted]

@Dragda, fine I'll look these points, I'll do my feedback here

[grefusa]

Hello! Thanks for the new version but I have a few problems. Since I updated I can't copy the roms directly to the sd card on linux. It says I don't have permitions to write in this folder. I tried by network and Windows doesn't detect my recalbox and with linux, I can see on the begining but after copy a few megas it dissappear and I can't copy anything else for a while.   Anyone with a solution?   Thanks!

Salut et merçi pour la maj ! Juste une question on peut mettre a jour directement a patir de la beta 17 ou on est obligé de refaire un instal ?

[voljega]

Install obligatoire

Hi, Thanks for the new version. I've updated and here are a few problems:

• Turned ON the WIFI connection and the system freezes. Using Edimax EW-7811Un Wireless N Nano USB 150Mbps.
• Swicht to another language and when the system restart It's freezes on the loading screen.
• I'm a Mac user and I can’t copy the roms directly to the sd, "share" partition is not mounted when I put my sd card on my computer. On v3.3.0-beta17 this works fine.

Thanks!

• Turned ON the WIFI connection and the system freezes. Using Edimax EW-7811Un Wireless N Nano USB 150Mbps.

Hi :D. For me, i have no problemes with the wifi but you have a long waiting time of "freezes" juste after turned ON Wifi. Time for the recalbox to join your wifi... I made the test with an other dongle but i can try with my edimax next time

• Swicht to another language and when the system restart It’s freezes on the loading screen.

Can you give us the language you want use. maybe they have a problem with this language.

• I’m a Mac user and I can’t copy the roms directly to the sd, « share » partition is not mounted when I put my sd card on my computer. On v3.3.0-beta17 this works fine.

That strange... I can make a test in my mac after... do you have try to access to your recalbox with a ping ? https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Identify-your-recalbox's-IP-on-your-network-(EN)#with-apple-osx Or try connect with winscp ? https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Network-access-with-WinSCP-(EN)

[rockaddicted]

Before, in recalbox 3.3.0, the share partition was on FAT32, but in 4.0.0, we are in ext4. So if you are a macuser, you must add a sotfware to allow you to mount ext4 partition (sorry no details to give you.... but I know it is possible)

[robnmish]

Is there anyplace that we can go to see release/change notes on the nightly updates? This morning the update showed that there were added emulators just wondering what was exactly added?  Haveing no issues yet with last nights build but i have not tested all the systems yet.

[androsyn]

Pour ma part je rencontre un problème assez embêtant. Quand je passe le stockage d'interne a externe, la configuration de la recalbox se remet a zéro et peu importe les changement que je fait ( changement de langage, sortie audio etc..) aucun paramètres  n'est pris en compte mais ceux ci sont bien dans le recalbox.conf qui est dans mon disque dur externe. le disque dur est bien en RW si quelqu'un aurait une solution Merci

[styletwo-wan]

I cannot edit the WiFi SSID and HOSTNAME in 4.0.  I can enter the edit mode, but get no response when typing any characters (except the arrow keys).  I have no problem with this in 3.3.  Any help ?

[marcos-clatablera]

<span style="line-height: 1.5;">@reivaax Thanks for the info!</span> Finally works the wifi connection, just need to wait a bit more The language with the problem to switch is Spanish. @rockaddicted OSXFUSE and Fuse-EXT2 are the solution to mount an ext4 image on mac. Thanks!

[daniel-panizo-montano]

@Marcos Clatablera  I have the last version in Spanish, and no problem with that.
