        For all of you who have your games on an USB device or hdd. Then you need to change the settings on /media/usb0/recalbox/system/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg.
        usb0 depends on your system. could also be usb1 ect. just try it out which one fits for you

        So for people who have their games on an USB / hdd device try edit

        /media/usbXY/recalbox/system/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg and replace

        <string name="UpdateServer" value="recalbox.com" /> with
        <string name="UpdateServer" value="archive.recalbox.com" />

        edit: looks like this not really works. after reboot the es_settings.cfg is back to default for me.

          For people who are uneasy at editing the file, juste paste this in SSH : /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop && sed -i "s+recalbox\.com+archive\.recalbox\.com+g" ~/.emulationstation/es_settings.cfg && /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start

            Thanks for your help! this actually worked. After editing the cfg with vi it was changed back to default after a reboot. Your comand line parameter actually worked!

              @Ares2502 That's because ES rewrites the values, so we need to shut it down before modifying the file 🙂

                  How do you shut it down before modifying this file from the "share" folder...connecting from a PC? Thanks for your help on this...
