    @RustyMG

    Got a Retrobat setup, as well as Recalbox, but I much prefer Recalbox - it just....works!

    Started off in 1984 with a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, moved across to a C64 & then onto the Amiga, having a PC engine very briefly inbetween.
    I was involved in the Amiga scene & was a member of a few cracking crews, and also done music demo's, which unfortunately there arent many left. Im known as SMURPHOID on the Kestra Amiga demo database.
    If you search for "Access - Symbolia - Amiga Demo" you can see a lot of my graphic animations despite the comments left, & I think one of my music demos is still there if you look for "Access - Accessive Music Vol. 2" (I also did the graphics on the loading screen, and, thats how the song was spelt!

    Over the years, Ive owned, hmm:
    Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48k "dead flesh" keyboard, Commodore 64, Amiga A500, Amiga A1200, CD32, PC Engine, PS1, PS2, PSP, Nintendo DS, Dreamcast, Wii, XBox 360, Xbox One-X, Pi2, Pi3, Pi4, Pi Zero 2w, & a gaming PC

    • [ Recalbox 7.0+] overlays

      Hi all,
      In addition to the themes I've created for ARRM ( https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/11850/soft-arrm-another-recalbox-roms-manager/168 downwards), I've been working on a few "old / retro look" bezels in Photoshop.
      I mean, if I'm playing an old Atari 2600 game, or a ZX Spectrum game etc, a "period looking" bezel would be perfect, and that's been my aim.

      I've uploaded a few pics of my work in progress so far, and once Im happy with them in Photoshop, I will work out the config files for each.

      There are a few more, but, you get the point.
      All will be available to anyone who wants them 😊 👍

    • RE: RustyMG's overlay pack

      @michael-lajoie Hiya,
      I'm working on the config files just now (so Recalbox knows where on screen the emulator displays the game image, and how much to resize it).

      Will hopefully have this done in a few days, as I have done the hard work with the images!

    • RustyMG's overlay pack

      Hello all!
      Well, I must be the unluckiest man alive.

      I lost my usb stick with the bezels I was working on as shown on here a few months back, and the backup drive failed, meaning I lost a lot of work.

      Well, now I have finally finished my bezel collection.
      All the below are in 1080p although when I finish the config files it will assume the user is running at 720p, as 1080p overlays is a bit of a strain on a Pi Zero, Pi2 and Pi3 (Recalbox automatically resizes them to 720p).

      I have been to so many clip art sites, PNG repositories, retro forums, I have lost track of the sources for the ones I havent created myself.
      So, although I have amended, adjusted, changed or added to every single overlay I found online, some beyond recognition, if anyone recognises the source, please do not hesitate to let me know, so that I can give them the credit. I know a few are heavily modified versions from OrionsAngel.

      Also, if anyone wants a zip file of these, just let me know and I will put up a download link.

      Mods - I see the next release will include overlays. If you wish to include any of my work, feel free and I can forward on the files.

      Now for my terrible attempts in French and Spanish......

      Bonjour à tous!
      Eh bien, je dois être l'homme le plus malchanceux vivant.

      J'ai perdu ma clé USB avec les lunettes sur lesquelles je travaillais, comme indiqué ici il y a quelques mois, et le lecteur de sauvegarde a échoué, ce qui signifie que j'ai perdu beaucoup de travail.

      Eh bien, maintenant j'ai enfin terminé ma collection de lunettes.
      Tous les éléments ci-dessous sont en 1080p, bien que lorsque je termine les fichiers de configuration, il suppose que l'utilisateur fonctionne à 720p, car les superpositions 1080p sont un peu contraignantes pour un Pi Zero, Pi2 et Pi3 (Recalbox les redimensionne automatiquement à 720p).

      J'ai visité tellement de sites d'images clipart, de référentiels PNG, de forums rétro, j'ai perdu la trace des sources de celles que je n'ai pas créées moi-même.
      Donc, bien que j'aie amendé, ajusté, changé ou ajouté à chaque superposition que j'ai trouvée en ligne, certaines au-delà de la reconnaissance, si quelqu'un reconnaît la source, n'hésitez pas à me le faire savoir, afin que je puisse lui donner le crédit. Je sais que quelques-unes sont des versions fortement modifiées d'OrionsAngel.

      De plus, si quelqu'un veut un fichier zip de ceux-ci, faites-le moi savoir et je mettrai un lien de téléchargement.

      Mods - Je vois que la prochaine version inclura des superpositions. Si vous souhaitez inclure l'un de mes travaux, n'hésitez pas et je peux transmettre les fichiers.

      ¡Hola a todos!
      Bueno, debo ser el hombre vivo más desafortunado.

      Perdí mi memoria USB con los biseles en los que estaba trabajando como se muestra aquí hace unos meses, y la unidad de respaldo falló, lo que significa que perdí mucho trabajo.

      Bueno, ahora finalmente he terminado mi colección de bisel.
      Todos los siguientes están en 1080p, aunque cuando termine los archivos de configuración, asumirá que el usuario está ejecutando a 720p, ya que las superposiciones de 1080p son un poco exigentes en Pi Zero, Pi2 y Pi3 (Recalbox los redimensiona automáticamente a 720p).

      He estado en tantos sitios de imágenes prediseñadas, repositorios PNG, foros retro, he perdido la pista de las fuentes de los que no he creado yo mismo.
      Entonces, aunque he modificado, ajustado, cambiado o agregado a cada superposición que encontré en línea, algunas más allá del reconocimiento, si alguien reconoce la fuente, no dude en hacérmelo saber para que pueda darles el crédito. Sé que algunas son versiones muy modificadas de OrionsAngel.

      Además, si alguien quiere un archivo zip de estos, hágamelo saber y pondré un enlace de descarga.

      Mods: veo que la próxima versión incluirá superposiciones. Si desea incluir alguno de mis trabajos, siéntase libre y puedo reenviar los archivos.

    • RE: Scraper not working on 6.0

      If you download ARRM and simply click on the system you want to check, it will instantly show you the rom name, the name you will see on screen, tbe description, and image file used.
      Its then a simple matter of either re-scraping (thru ARRM), or clicking on the image box at the right and selecting an existing image to 're link' to the game.

      Honestly, ARRM has been a game changer.
      It has so many options I don't understand why anyone would even use a built in scraper!

    • RE: Compatibilité Sinden Lightgun

      @Bkg2k Bonjour à tous,
      J'espère que mon français est correct....

      Je viens de parler à Andy Sinden, qui fait une démonstration de son matériel à Play Expo Blackpool.

      Il connaît Recalbox, et c'est sur la liste "à faire".

      Il a déclaré que deux personnes l'avaient déjà contacté à ce sujet.

      Dit que c'est tout à fait différent, et qu'il devrait désassembler le code et "regarder" pour voir ce qui doit être fait.

      Il veut que son arme légère fonctionne sur « tout », alors il veut le faire.

    • RE: Cannot copy roms over to Recalbox folder using Network Share.

      @fretman https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/22742/file-transfer-roms-directly-to-microsd-card-it-works

      You need to "add" the partition, but it takes literally seconds.
      Your looking for, more than likely, the largest unassigned partition.
      Where he says "Go to disk management", just search for "diskmgmt" in the windows search box - that's it.

    • RE: is it possible to get latest beta img

      @Zing Yes, got to agree with Zing.
      If it's made available, before you know it there are copies for sale on ebay, and as its a pre release, with lots of bugs still to be resolved, people pay for it, and think Recalbox is rubbish, or complain on here that stuff doesn't work.

      @denys06 Salut,
      Je suis écossais et ne parle pas très bien le français.

      J'espère rencontrer Andy Sinden, en personne, samedi.

      Je lui poserai des questions sur Recalbox si je peux.

    • RE: Unable to update to unstable version

      @digitalumberjack
      Erm, when the server went down and the unstable release a lot of us require went with it, do you not think that if the above message was conveyed, people may have been a bit more understanding?
      Granted, I'm not saying we the users demand an explanation for everything - that's just ludicrous, but when something as major as a server goes, even a brief explanation as to what was going on in the background would have helped.....

    • RE: Recalbox on multiple PCs?

      @powering if you boot via a usb stick, it means you do not need to worry about ANY driver issues.

      You need to copy your bios, overlay, and roms folders etc over to the new storage device, but thats just a simple "drag and drop" on a PC.

      Im not on here a lot.
      Join the Discord channel where Im always about if you need any more help.

    • RE: Recalbox on multiple PCs?

      @powering hi, you cant do that.
      On expanding and creating its files on 1st bootup, it installs the graphics card driver, network driver etc for that specific PC and its specific hardware.

      Easiest thing to do is what I did for someone.

      Get 2 cheap 16gb usb sticks off Amazon, 1 for each PC.
      Install Recalbox as normal on each.

      Now just boot Recalbox, and in the settings, point it to your portable HD.
      Job done.
      Can now just plug the HD into whatever of the 2 PCs you wish to use Recalbox on.

      @wattaman hi, its nothing to do with how powerful the hardware is tbh.
      Recalbox, like Batocera and Retropie can only run on Linux based systems.
      Below is the only supported hardware:

      Why not simply select the "hide empty systems" in the settings with just a few button presses?
      It will then not show any system that does not have any ROMs / game files present.

    • RE: RustyMG's overlay pack

      Hi all,
      Finally, I have got round to posting my 1080p bezel set.
      All the above are included in the zip file, which can be downloaded from : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NqxOZNAEqZcj6uGxTKrrgK9K10dAPQzz?usp=sharing

      To use this bezel set, simply unzip the contents into the overlay folder in your Recalbox setup, and ensure Recalbox is set to display in 1080p (you can do this by editing the recalbox.config file in the /recalbox/system folder). Thats it - you are ready to go!

      I have created many of these overlays myself in Photoshop, and for the rest, have taken the best image I could find for each system, and modified (in some cases, almost beyond recognition) them until I was happy with how they looked.

      I am more than happy to credit ANYONE whose image I have based my work on, and if you are one of these people, please contact me via here, or the Discord channel.

      The people I know I need to thank are Krakerman, OrionsAngel, and Duimon.

      My Sega32x, Atomiswave and Naomi overlays were automatically scraped via ARRM from www.screenscraper.fr

      PLEASE LEAVE A THANK YOU IF YOU USE

      And leave a message here if you find any issues / bugs in the cfg files.
