Yes, Recalbox 9.1 and controllers are big problems, lots of people complaining

Bon, et bien perso maintenant je passe par FTP, pas d'erreurs du genre.

Et puis avec filezilla j'ai le comparateur de dossier, c'est utile.

@Dragonslore

PS2/PS3/Gamecube have complex architecture, so probably could just do 2D games

Saturn could run full speed I guess.

Dreamcast could run upscaled.

Emulation for 3D games have their full potential with upscaling. This overcomes the small problem you sometimes get with emulation (bug, latency, etc...)

If it's just to play Native Resolution, better play on original hardware...

PS1 have amazing game catalogue and even R3+ can run fell full speed with resolution enhancement. Better invest in SD Card Memory

As you use Pi3 this could be usefull also :

@Yuor85

J'ai ajouté ton souci sur un gros topic Gitlab

https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox/-/issues/2275

La configuration des manettes c'est vraiment l'enfer sur Recalbox dès que tu sors un peu des clous (dès que tu fais plus de 1 joueur avec une manette Xbox 360 en vrai ).

Il faut vraiment que les dev s'y penchent en priorité, honnêtement c'est le gros point noir de Recalbox, c'est dommage...

@Antoine-Hivet

Ca va te faire mal mais la seule chose à faire c'est restaurer les paramètres d'usine

A moins qu'un paramètre existe pour éviter d'accéder aux fonctionnalité "Hot Key" et/ou "u menu de Retroarch, je vois pas.

Screenshot fonctionne pas ? (essaye sur PS1) (Hotkey + L1)

adam0509

Maybe same problem as here :

https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/30319/configuration-n64-glide/6?_=1697275006817

adam0509

Ok solved it

This concern is for the PowerA Xbox One Controller

It is labeled PowerA Xbox One Series X Controller in the config for some reason (?)

Button configuration on windows :

1 = A
2 = B
3 = X
4 = Y
5 = LB
6 = RB
7 = Select
8 = Start
9 = L3
10 = R3
11 = Xbox Guide
12 = Share

Button configuration on Linux/Recalbox :

0 = A
1 = B
2 = X
3 = Y
4 = LB
5 = RB
6 = Select
7 = Start
8 = L3
9 = R3
10 = Xbox Guide
11 = Share

This is the correct configuration to add to InputAutoCfg.ini :

[PowerA Xbox Series X Controller]
A Button=button(0)
AnalogDeadzone=4096,4096
AnalogPeak=32768,32768
B Button=button(2)
C Button D=axis(4+) button(1)
C Button L=axis(3-) button(3)
C Button R=axis(3+) 
C Button U=axis(4-) 
DPad D=hat(0 Down)
DPad L=hat(0 Left)
DPad R=hat(0 Right)
DPad U=hat(0 Up)
L Trig=button(4)
Mempak switch=button(11)
R Trig=button(5)
Rumblepak switch=button(12)
Start=button(7)
X Axis=axis(0-,0+) axis(0+,0-)
Y Axis=axis(1-,1+) axis(1+,1-)
Z Trig=axis(2+)
mouse=False
plugged=True
plugin=2

Juste un truc si vous avez des clignotements blanc sur Goldeneye 007 N64 (et sur des hacks en particulier genre CS MAPS ou Kokorico) :

Mettre ce paramètre à 0 :
fb_hires = 0

[GOLDENEYE]
lodmode = 1
filtering = 1
fb_smart = 1
fb_hires = 0

Et si vous preferez le plein écran :

aspect = 1

@Damião

Tu lis mes messages de travers décidement...

Je pense simplement que c'est relié au problème de base, c'est peut-être pas le cas. En tout cas j'essaye de donner des pistes.

De toute façon je vais ouvrir un issue Gitlab

adam0509

@Pitch64 Effectivement ça marche... encore un truc pas très intuitif...

@Olivier59113 je sais plus mais perso j'ai réussi à y faire tourner Swat...

This will work both for DOSBOX and DOSBOX PURE

Dosbox Pure will help you running the game without a Keyboard (and also use Save States)

Dosbox (normal)

Grab that config file :

# This is the configurationfile for DOSBox 0.74. (Please use the latest version of DOSBox)
# Lines starting with a # are commentlines and are ignored by DOSBox.
# They are used to (briefly) document the effect of each option.

[sdl]
#       fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen. (Press ALT-Enter to go back)
#       fulldouble: Use double buffering in fullscreen. It can reduce screen flickering, but it can also result in a slow DOSBox.
#   fullresolution: What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 1024x768).
#                     Using your monitor's native resolution with aspect=true might give the best results.
#                     If you end up with small window on a large screen, try an output different from surface.
# windowresolution: Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
#                     (output=surface does not!)
#           output: What video system to use for output.
#                   Possible values: surface, overlay, opengl, openglnb, ddraw.
#         autolock: Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen. (Press CTRL-F10 to unlock)
#      sensitivity: Mouse sensitivity.
#      waitonerror: Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.
#         priority: Priority levels for dosbox. Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized.
#                     pause is only valid for the second entry.
#                   Possible values: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, pause.
#       mapperfile: File used to load/save the key/event mappings from. Resetmapper only works with the defaul value.
#     usescancodes: Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.

#           You can also let DOSBox guess the correct value by setting it to max.

# captures: Directory where things like wave, midi, screenshot get captured.
#  memsize: Amount of memory DOSBox has in megabytes.
#             This value is best left at its default to avoid problems with some games,
#             though few games might require a higher value.

#            Cycles can be set in 3 ways:
#              'auto'          tries to guess what a game needs.
#                              It usually works, but can fail for certain games.
#              'fixed #number' will set a fixed amount of cycles. This is what you usually need if 'auto' fails.
#                              (Example: fixed 4000).
#              'max'           will allocate as much cycles as your computer is able to handle.
#            
#            Possible values: auto, fixed, max.
#   cycleup: Amount of cycles to decrease/increase with keycombo.(CTRL-F11/CTRL-F12)

DOSBOX PURE :

The difficulty here is to have the correct ratio. You'll need to activate "Pixel Perfect" (or "Integer scale") on the Recalbox Setting menu first.

Also maybe you need to put 16/9 here, I'm not sure :

Then on Dosbox Pure, Just follow those parameters :

The game should run at full speed on a Raspberry Pi4

Pi5 may autorise rewind also (Pi4 can't handle it).

Please note that Dosbox Pure will also let you use save states... which is VERY useful in that game.

PM Me if you need save file

adam0509

Some of you may have try that interesting hack of Goldeneye 64 which let you play Counter-Strike maps on Goldeneye 64.

By default, you may have these annoying white flickering :

To resolve this, just go to this folder :

/recalbox/share/system/configs/mupen64

Then open this file :

Glide64mk2.ini

Find the GOLDENEYE config and change fb_hires to 0 instead of 1 like this :

[GOLDENEYE]
lodmode = 1
filtering = 1
fb_smart = 1
fb_hires = 0

Relaunch the emualtor and the problem will be solved.

Another method is to put the game on full screen, but I don't remember how to do that.

P.S : If you have trouble on your controller, you may need to use the defaut InputAutoCfg.ini found here (the defaut recalbox may not suit your config)

https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-input-sdl/blob/master/data/InputAutoCfg.ini

adam0509

is it the only way to modify recalbox.conf now ?

https://wiki.recalbox.com/en/tutorials/video/display-configuration/complete-video-configuration-guide

adam0509

Hi,

Recalbox is laggy on a 4k tv, even the SNES and NES

I try to change the resolution, normally here there is a resolution option (under Recalbox CRT)... why it's not here ??

adam0509

Juste une précision :

Pour les jeux FMV, choisir l'émulateur LIBRETRO YABASANSHIRO

adam0509

Perso j'ai aussi ajouté ça pour optimiser un peu, je sais pas si ça fait un gros changement :

optimize_texrect = 0
hires_buf_clear = 0
fb_read_alpha = 0
force_calc_sphere = 0
texture_correction = 0

Hello,

Je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais sur Mupen Glide MK2 l'ordre de mes manettes est modifié

Sur Recalbox :
1/ Manette Power A Xbox One
2/ Manette Xbox 360

Sur l'émulateur, c'est l'inverse

Pourtant c'est toujours la manette 1 qui peut revenir au menu Recalbox avec le Hotkey....

(Pas ce souci avec PARALLEL 64)

Recalbox 9.2.1
