      Hello

      I have received my Recalbox RGB Dual and it runs plug and play for consoles as expected (Raspberry Pi 5) . For arcade games (FBNeo), however, there is a problem with some games such as Dodonpachi that the image is cut off on the right.
      I was looking for solutions and came across this:
      https://wiki.recalbox.com/en/tutorials/video/crt/recalbox-on-crt-with-scart-dac
      Under “Advanced configuration” you can see a file structure where I should find the read only file modes.txt. The problem now is that my file structure does not look like this at all. I have 3 partitions (OVERLAY ,RECALBOX ,SHARE) and on the partition RECALBOX I don't see a system folder. Could it be that the file structure in the manual is no longer correct? I am using the image “Recalbox 9.2.3-Pulstar - Raspberry Pi 5 (2/4/8GB)”

      Am I on the right track? I wanted to create an “arcade_games.txt” file in the SHARE/system/configs/crt folder (yes, this folder exists in my system) and change the resolution there.

      If I want to create a MODE, what are all the numbers? From the example I can see that 1920 and 244 is the resolution, but what are the other numbers?
      1920 1 80 184 312 224 1 9 3 24 0 0 0 60 0 39001717 1

      I also don't understand why 1920 and 244 at all, shouldn't it be 320 and 244?
      I also see this resolution in the Retroarch video settings. Shouldn't that result in an extremely long but narrow image?

      Thanks

        I just saw that the wiki page was edited on Friday, but now I'm just more confused. It says:

        The default configuration of the display modes per system and per arcade game can be found in the folder /recalbox/system/configs/crt/ (system/configs/crt/ in the [SHARE] partition)

        and

        To override or replace these configurations, you just have to create the corresponding files in the /recalbox/share/system/configs/crt/ folder (system/configs/crt/ in the [SHARE] partition).

        So the read only and also the override files should be in the [SHARE] partition in the system/configs/crt/ folder. But unfortunately I don't have a modes.txt file there where I could see the available display modes.

          Hello,

          The file structure is not outdated.

          When you plug your Recalbox on your PC, you should be able to view 2 new drives: 1 names RECALBOX and one named SHARE.

          Drive RECALBOX corresponds to /boot
          Drive SHARE corresponds to /recalbox/share

          If the file doesn't exist, create it, it won't break your installation.

          Pi4 8gb / Pi5 4gb / Pi02W / OGS / PC
          Next release? Soon™
