      @zing said in WiFi on recalbox 4.1 is very unstable:

      @alfajackal This is probably the case, the compatibility list warns that these dongles have this problem.

      I know! Because I added that! 😉

      So literally I warned myself! Unfortunately I don’t have a time machine... 😂

    • RE: Mapping GPIO poru Game-Hat

      Tried this exactly as you wrote but with the current stable build on a Pi3b. What happens is this: https://i.imgur.com/KJeZjIa.jpg

      Here is my config:

      ## GPIO Controllers
      ## enable controllers on GPIO with mk_arcarde_joystick_rpi (0,1)
      controllers.gpio.enabled=1
      ## mk_gpio arguments, map=1 for one controller, map=1,2 for 2 (map=1,map=1,2)
      #controllers.gpio.args=map=1,2
      controllers.gpio.args=map=5 gpio=5,4,14,22,13,18,21,16,6,20,26,12,-1

    • RE: recalbox-config.sh cannot pass the 2nd parameter for custom GPIO mapping to mk_arcade_joystick_rpi.ko

      @cheungbx Thanks for your description! Tried that with 4.4.13-v7and always receive a segmentation fault after this:

      # rmmod mk_arcade_joystick_rpi
      # insmod /lib/modules/4.4.13-v7/extra/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi.ko map=4 gpio=5,4,14,22,13,18,21,16,6,20,26,12,18
      

      Have a Pi 3b.

      Any ideas?

    • RE: No Controller in any game - emustation is fine

      @voljega

      I actually took this tool from adafruit: https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame/blob/master/README.md

      With this you can easily remap your GPIOs to a virtual keyboard without resoldering it. I don't know any other way to do that. If I try to configure my controller without "retrogame" and with controllers.gpio.enabled I am not able to use every button.

      I think this is the reason why retrogame does not work:

      Beside keyboard as a gamepad is not supported in recalbox, most emulators won't work

      But in the meantime I figured out, that I had to to the follwing. Now the buttons start, x and y work, but not the whole set. I also opened an issue on github as that place may be a bit more specific for a possible solution.

      Anyway. Here is how the GPIOs are connected to my buttons:

      A 	> 21
      B 	> 16
      Start 	> 13
      Select 	> 18
      Right 	> 22
      Down 	> 05
      Up 	> 04
      Left 	> 14
      X	> 20
      Y	> 26
      

      Here is also an example config from Adafruit Tools retrogame: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame/master/configs/retrogame.cfg.zero
      If you could provide me any other "HowTo" that enables me to use all of my buttons in recalbox without rewiring it, I would really appreciate it.

      By the way: In retropie everything works like a charm. But I don't want to use it! 🙂

    • RE: No Controller in any game - emustation is fine

      @voljega

      Yes, I configured it in ES.
      No, I didn't activate GPIO in recalbox.conf. If I set controllers.gpio.enabled to 1it does not work because the system then will double press a button (keyboard and Controller) so I am unable to configure the controller correct in ES.

      Due to this french instruction it also says "deactivate GPIO" in recalbox.conf: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Touches-du-clavier-via-GPIO-(FR) Or did I translate it wrong?

    • No Controller in any game - emustation is fine

      Hey all!

      I have a GameBoy Zero (with Rpi3b) and buttons soldered to the GPIOs. I remapped them with adafruit retrogame to my keyboard.

      Everything works very well in emulationstation! But after launching a game, doesn’t matter which one, I am not able to use the controller.

      What am I doing wrong??

    • RE: WiFi on recalbox 4.1 is very unstable

      Okay, changed wifi.region from US to DE; it already was enabled.

      But I think I figured out the issue: It must be my Anker keyboard and mouse! It seems that these two (!) dongles newly make some problems (as already mentioned, it was never a problem in previous versions). After disconnecting the dongles the wifi is stable.

      @zing said in WiFi on recalbox 4.1 is very unstable:

      @alfajackal Sorry, try all of the procedures that have been suggested in this topic:
      https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/16393/wifi-is-not-working-on-pi-3b-or-pi-3b

      Have you tried on more than one different wi-fi (eg, a friend's house)?

      Thanks for your reply and providing me this thread, I also read before.

      I am able to connect to my WiFi and two other different WiFi’s. None of the mentioned things in the other post applies except of „wifi.region=DE“. The connection is still unstable and breaks for e.g. when transferring ROMs.
      I will try setting the region to DE later.

    • RE: WiFi on recalbox 4.1 is very unstable

      @zing I have a RPi2 with the Latest image from https://archive.recalbox.com/

      Unfortunately I did not find any proper solution when searching for WiFi in the forum. That is why I opened this thread.

      Before I switched to the latest release I had an old 4.0.0 installed and everything ran very well with my Edimax Wifi dongle.

    • RE: Can't use scraper with ethernet connection

      Which version do you have installed? The latest one has some issues with the scraping - it simply doesn't work. Wait for an update...
