@ian57 I guess great minds think alike. I do have a suggestion for that script but I will make it in gitlab

Can you search your mupen64 ini file?
/recalbox/share/system/configs/mupen64/mupen64plus.ini I know it LONG but what I am looking for is the SaveType listed under Donkey Kong 64. There will be Multiple entries in your file so you can do the following

log in via SSH:
nano /recalbox/share/system/configs/mupen64/mupen64plus.ini
hit CTRL + w (search)
type Donkey Kong 64 and hit enter
check under the entry and make sure SaveType is "Eeprom 16KB"
hit CTRL + w again and the nenter for the next instance.
Check that each version of the rom has the seave type listed as Eeprom 16KB (if one is wrong change it)

This sometimes happens the save file is set to 4KB or 8KB

The alternative is to replace your ini file with a known good one. Some older ini files had it listed wrong. Not sure if this is the case but its worth looking into. It would absolutely cause this behavior.

The TFT screen on the OGST is very bright (especially at night) so I wanted to be able to turn it off since my gameing box is in the bedroom.

Here are the commands to do just that:

#Turn the backlight ON
echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/fb_ili9340/bl_power

#Turn the backlight OFF
echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/fb_ili9340/bl_power

I have written a script that does this for you.

#!/bin/bash

filename='/sys/class/backlight/fb_ili9340/bl_power'
read -r state<$filename

if [ "$state" = "0" ]; then
        echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/fb_ili9340/bl_power
else
        echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/fb_ili9340/bl_power
fi

to use the script do the following.

Log in to your recalbox via SSH
then use these commands

cd
nano backlight
#copy paste the script into this new document
ctrl+x then y #this will exit and save the document
chmod +x backlight #make the script executable

To use the script simply type ./backlight to toggle the TFT backlight on and off

I am hoping backlight control can be built in to the next version.

FOR DEVELOPERS

This is the command to turn off all backlights if you want to include a universal backlight control in the next version

# Turn off backlight
echo 1 | tee /sys/class/backlight/*/bl_power

# Turn on backlight
echo 0 | tee /sys/class/backlight/*/bl_power

I have an ODroid xu4 with recalbox 7.2.2. I have been completely unable to get mupen64plus-next to run any game correctly. Not even Zelda games. It starts out with a totally black screen and then normally a large colored block with a large black Block in it. I can hear the audio but the video is totally busted. This is not the only problem I've had with this new update but it is the one that I'm trying to resolve right now. Has anybody run into this and come up with a resolution,?

7.0 UPDATE

The folders already exist in 7.0 (as promised) and the rest of the instructions are still valid.

Multiple games (like zelda 64 games) ran well on the XU4 on 6.11 however on 7.0 they are laggy (video and audio skips) this is the same for lots of games and speaks to a larger issue with performance on the XU4. The hardware is plenty powerful but 7.0 seems to have issues.

Recalbox 7 release notes say it supports the OGST case but I am not sure how to enable it. Is this still a manual process?

This is the old way

Not sure if that still applies.

@lecureuil38 I have the file name correct, please see images (link to discord)

basically ES does not see the dc_flash.bin file in the bios/dc/ folder even though its there. Should not even matter if the MD5 is correct, it should at least see the file.

I am guessing this is because something is looking in the wrong place (perhaps its looking for DC instead of dc) But that may not be the case. I do not know.

The English translation is

Recalbox 7.0 is released

it actually means

This is the Recalbox 7.0 Release event.
