[4.1-Unstable] Bug reports

@Substring said in [4.1-Unstable] Bug reports:

That's rather surprising. But I don't believe it. You should turn the pad on AFTER recalbox starts loading ES, not before (yeah, that's a change since 4.0)

I don't have such behaviour. A few people reported it. I just own some shanwans, no genuine, and the led does work.

I'm going to film the process that I do to pair the 8bitdo controller and turn off the recalbox and when it pairs again it gets lost, I take advantage and I also do the dualshock 3 for you to see.

@paradadf
I will give an updated there in the psp spreadsheet has many games that "fart" in rpi3

[Substring]

@azvarel Yesterday i talked with someone on IRC whose BT data was not saved, which is very surprising as no one reported that after more than a month of unstable. Can you check if you have an archive in ~/bluetooth/ ?

regarding PPSSPP : there are SO MANY possible tweaks inside the emulator that you should really experiment with them and report best settings.

for example : multithread is not activated by default, whereas it gives a major speed boost (but the team says it's still experimental and can lead to bugs)

[azvarel]

@Substring has a bluetooth.tar file

[Substring]

@azvarel Should know what's inside to be sure

I ran more tests with version 4.1

1. HDD loading is much faster

2. WiiU PRO controller works perfectly.

3. games that use the emulator picodrive (mastersystem / megadrive / gamegear) is not opening zip files (all my romset is .zip and it worked in version 4.0.2)

4. When leaving any game, do not return to the emulationstation screen, it is on the black screen that has the recalbox logo underneath and freezes, I have to turn off rpi3 (this was not happening in version 4.0.2)

5. When entering the emulator the icons of the retroarch options are appearing a black square.

[Substring]

@azvarel run tar -tvf ~/bluetooth/bluetooth.tar the output will be much clearer for me/ Please

Unexpected nehaviour, nothing's been done on that side

2. WiiU PRO controller works perfectly.

Great !

3. games that use the emulator picodrive (mastersystem / megadrive / gamegear) is not opening zip files (all my romset is .zip and it worked in version 4.0.2)

I'm surprised ...

any game with any emulator ? I don't have such behaviour. Are you running an upgrade from 4.0.2 or a 4.1 .img ?

5. When entering the emulator the icons of the retroarch options are appearing a black square.

You're in the xmb menu, not the rgui. You should download assets from the UI. But you're not supposed to have xmb, but rgui. Are you running the latest unstable without custom configs ?

[azvarel]

@Substring

Continuing the tests,
For some reason of initialization, something was missing, the megadrive / mastersystem / gamegear games came back to work, this after having restarted the recalbox several times.

The freeze on leaving the game still remains

I downloaded the latest stable version of github and downloaded the root and boot files at https://archive.recalbox.com/updates/v1.0/unstable/ and replace them

I will do the installation unstable by downloading directly through the recalbox and post the results.

[Substring]

@azvarel why the heck do you bother with noobs ? Either make a recalbox integrated update, or just burn a .img

[azvarel]

@Substring

D**n! I downloaded version 4.0.1, updated to version 4.0.2, modified recalbox.conf to download version 4.1 unstable, and the error of the black screen when leaving the game persists.

I changed global.videomode=CEA 4 HDMI with global.videomode=default and yet the error still persists.

Solved!

1. Controller SNES30
The problem of not handling the 8bitdo snes30 pairing still persists!

[Substring]

@azvarel your tar should contain a folder which name is the mac address of your SNES30 right under var/lib/bluetooth/B8:27:EB:7A:6C:7C/

But that's not the case ... wtf ... it is supposed to save the folder when pairing succeeded, and when recalbox is shutting down

where is you /recalbox/share located ? SD ? USB ? LAN ?

USB

1. Timezone
Problem at timezone, by default comes Europe/France when changing by America/Noronha by the Manager or by the own recalbox.conf the schedule in the emulators continue Europe/France

2. Why are emulators in alphabetical order, not by system order?
Why did version 4.1 not continue the same way as version 4.0? Would not it be interesting to implement this in Manager for the user to arrange the order they want?

Ex.

Nintendo - Super Nintendo - Nintendo 64 - GameBoy - GameBoy Advance

And not like this:

GameBoy - GameBoy Advance - Nintendo - Nintendo 64 - Super Nintendo

Should I open issue in github?

[azvarel]

Dreamcast

I tested Marvel vs Capcom 2 game in .cdi file game opens, good gameplay, but no sound, just like Ikaruga in .gdi file, is also without sound.

That's right?

[azvarel]

@Substring

Dreamcast emulator can not see the advanced settings to see the core, when entering the game does not have the option to enter the emulator

PSP the games that work are mini games like Zuma, Tetris, games like Burnout Legends, Ultimate Ghosts'n Ghoulsts, God of War has precarious gameplay

[Raphael Bueno Hatencia]

stop emulation station via web 2.0 not working?

[Substring]

@azvarel

1. emulators are in alphabetical order following the same order as in the roms folder. That's because the es_systems.cfg is now automatically generated depending on the arch it's built.
2. timzone : this issue was once reported in 4.0. But errr ... no one ever complained about that
3. dreamcast sound etc ... : most probably a dump problem, my ikaruga does have sound, music etc ... but most of times inputs die after the first ingame movie (not the launch of the spaceship, the one after a few monster waves)
4. i don't understand anything to what you say regarding andvanced settings to the core. Reicast is a standalone, not a libretro core
5. as i said PSP emulation can be erratic. For example soul calibur broken destiny runs rather fine with almost 60fps all the time once the emulator tweaked.

@Raphael-Bueno-Hatencia the last time I tried it it was working
