Is it possible to permanently pair a bluetooth keyboard maybe somewhere in the config file?

Has anyone successfully made a Berry boot image of Recalbox?  I'm trying to do it myself but no luck so far.

I might try formatting it differently and see if that helps.  Think it was NTFS but not sure.  Most games are pre-scraped and I had the same on the other drive.  I'll have a mess about and see what works quickest

Pretty sure the drive is working.  It did the same when I was using a different external hard drive.  It's my guess it's doing some extra task when shutting down (e.g. saving scrapes or updating ROM profiles) but would be interested to find out why it takes so long.

Hello all,   I am the proud owner of a 314GB PiDrive which is working lovely.  I have a lot of ROMs on the drive and noticed, as one would expect, the boot times to increase the more you have.  However, rebooting takes an absolute age especially if I add my full collection of NES and Spectrum ROMs.   With about 2000 ROMs it's taking a good 5 - 10 minutes to reboot and wondering if there is any way to speed this up.  Unplugging the power doesn't appear to cause any issues but I'd rather not resort to this.   Any suggestions?

Works great.  I've been playing with various tools (including the batch files I created many moons ago) and like the simplicity of this one.

I'm able to get both games to load fine on Recalbox v4.0 beta 2, however, when you start playing the game the 'board' is in the wrong place and the game doesn't render correctly.  Ironically the original Mario Party for the N64 works fine. Has anyone else managed to get Mario Party 2 & 3 to work correctly?

That explains why it was working previously.  I've been putting my ROMs in sub-folders and using a bare minimum of BIOS files. Many thanks!

I usually use FBA on Recalbox and very happy with the performance.  There are quite a few ROMs which don't work but that hasn't bothered me. However, with exception of 'Track 'n Field' none of the MAME ROMs are working, NEOGEO is extremely hit and miss, and SCUMMVM doesn't even show on Recalbox main screen even when there is a valid file in the directory (Curse of Monkey Island).  I've got the right BIOS files (according to the web interface) so wondering if anyone has any advice on getting MAME, SCUMMVM, and NEOGEO to work.  Are there some additional BIOS files I need to obtain or general advice which may help?   Cheers.

You can overclock via the configuration (hold shift when booting) and there are many examples out there where the cpu_free can be increased a little and the sdram freq upped to 500.  These settings work well. If I remember correctly there is a config file somewhere where you can predefine an overclock setting ( currently set as 'none')  I'll have a play and tell you what works well setting wise and where the configuration file is.

I have replicated this issue using a Western Digital 1TB drive.  This is my experience. 1)  Sometimes it wouldn't look at the drive for the ROMs and reverted to the SD card. 2)  The drive became corrupted and couldn't be read by my PC (used a 'chkdsk' to resolve).  I think this was caused by Kodi to be honest. 3)  Kodi experienced serious issues with addons when using the drive 'before' installing addons.  It's best to do all the Kodi stuff on the SD card so it copies it to the drive. What I did like is the settings for Kodi and Recalbox are stored on the external drive so I can move it between Raspberry Pis  and have the same settings.   I haven't tried any other eternal hard drive, however, I am hoping to have one of those PiDrives and will test with that.  I feel it will work a lot better.

I think the issue is to do with where the system saves/looks for the system config file.  On the SD card there is now a separate partition for 'boot' and this is where it's failing.  I think all that needs to be done is to move/create the folders into the same image and it will work. Will continue investigating.
