Hello,
sry for my question, but is it right that recalbox 4.1 will be available as a port for the odroid xu4?
i ask because i am using the unofficial recalbox 4.0 Image from http://recalbox.remix.free.fr/ on my recalbox xu4 and there are a few Bugs, like the display restarts after 5-10 minutes after boot and some cores are laggy.
I think recalbox is the best retro-gaming system and the odroid xu4 has enough power to become a good retro-maschine.

thx and regards

snes und nes, aber ist auch eigentlich egal, die frage ist lässt sich das ändern.
Das man roms auf NTSC Patchen kann weiss ich, falls du darauf anspielen möchtest ^^

Hi,
is it possible to set the resolution of the GPI Case Display to a 50hz one to avoid screen tearing on PAL roms.

Levingard

Hallo,
kann man die Auflösung vom GPI Case auf eine 50hz ändern, sonst hab ich nur Tearing und ruckeln bei den PAL roms.

Levingard

now i've tested several Options.
I set global Videomode to CEA 4 HDMI - no schange
in the mupen64 config i changed the Resolution to 1440x1080. It's 4:3 but the screen is not centered, it's on the left screen side.
The Options are correctly set to force 4:3 But with the 1920x1080 Resolution it's still streched.
When i use the libreto core it's centered and 4:3 but this core is significant slower.
So what can i do now?

Hi,
i am using the latest stable 6.0 on an odroid xu4.
All is working fine but the N64. Every time i start a game, it is streched to full screen.
I use the Standard core and Standard Settings.
I want to play the games in native 4:3, so what to do?

Levingard

@Substring Sorry i forgot to write that i´m using an odroid xu4 so this videomode Settings will not work.

Hi i am from Germany so i Play PAL roms, so i set the Video Setting in the config to 1920x1080@50hz. Console Games like SNES or Megadrive Games now run perfectly, but Handhelds like GB, GBC, GBA and PSP need 60hz.

So my Question:
Is it possible to auto change the resolution to 1920x1080@60hz e.g. when the GBC or PSP emulator is loading, and to 1920x1080@50hz e.g. when SNES or NES emulator is loading? Or will I have to edit the config each time i start a handheld or console game?

@Bloodsurfer hast du auch einen Odroid XU4 oder hast du das auf dem Raspberry gemacht?
Bin echt ratlos, habe auch schon neu installiert, aber gleiches Ergebnis!

@gaetan

@levingard change back " count -lt 27 ]]; to count -lt 20 ]];
And your your sleep 27 by sleep 7 or maybe sleep 07 it will do the job :)

i have changed it to but the same problem. ES is still shown up before the intro ends, and then ES has no sounds.

Hello,

i have the following problem. i have a 26 sec. long recalbox intro.
(yes WITH recalbox branding! i don NOT want to rebrand recalbox!)

I am using the actual version for Odroid XU4!

Here is my s02splash:

#!/bin/bash

selectVideo() {
IFS='
'
videoList=($(find /recalbox/system/resources/splash -name *.mp4))
videoNumber=${#videoList[*]}
video=${videoList[$((RANDOM%videoNumber))]}
echo "${video}"
}
video="`selectVideo`"

do_ffmpeg_start () {
if ! `which ffplay >/dev/null` || [[ ! -f $video ]] ; then
return
fi

 ffplay_srt="subtitles=/recalbox/system/resources/splash/recalboxintro.srt:force_style='FontName=/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf,Fontsize=10'"
ffplay $ffplay_opts -vf "$ffplay_srt" "$video" >/dev/null 2>&1 &
PID=$!
count=0

while [[ ! -f "/tmp/emulationstation.ready" && ! -e "/var/run/kodi.msg" && $count -lt 200 ]]; do
sleep 0.1
((count++))
done
do_ffmpeg_stop $PID
show_logo

do_ffmpeg_stop () {
kill -9 $1
}

}

wait_for_fb () {
# on some sytems, fb0 is not immediatly loaded, so, keep a chance by waiting a bit
N=0
while ! test -e /dev/fb0 -o $N -gt 15
do
sleep 1
let N++
done
}

show_logo() {
wait_for_fb
test -e /dev/fb0 && fbv -f -i /recalbox/system/resources/splash/logo-version.png
}

case "$1" in
start)
if [[ `cat /recalbox/recalbox.arch` == "rpi"* ]] ; then
    ( do_omx_start ; show_logo ) &
else
    ( wait_for_fb ; do_ffmpeg_start ) &
fi
;;
stop)
;;
restart|reload)
;;
*)
esac

exit $?

I did changes here:

while [[ ! -f "/tmp/emulationstation.ready" && ! -e "/var/run/kodi.msg" && $count -lt 27 ]]; do

and here:

# Finish with a one second fade out.
sleep 27

Both did not work. The video stops after 7 sec. and boots ES. When i delete this video, the splash.PNG normal loads and then ES. Videos up to 5 sec. are working without a problem!

can someone tell me how change the setting so the video will be fully played?

sincerely:

Thomas
