@breakbob nevermind , found all in Virtual System menu

Great work, salut!
I have it installed but I can't see other menus for stuff like ARCADE, PINBALL, ect. I don't have these folders in my ROMs folder either (basically all "auto-" stuff) . how to create these custom folders ?

Hello. It there any music player for Emulation Station?
I love the idea of Recalbox supporting .mod .xm .it modules but I noticed not all of them are playing in the ES background? I would love to have control what is playable or not. I'm not really big fan of Kodi, rarely using it. Some arcade Recalbox Jukebox playing even mp3 would be an awesome addition

@Zing Thank you, I did everything, plugged RPI to different monitor and I had picture, then I plugged original arcade game which came with the cabinet and still had grey screen but sound was coming from the game. I found some horror stories of people damaging their screen with wrong PCB HDMI converter, which was sending wrong signal, resetting their display, etc. then I noticed I also bought wrong one, that's why bottom of the ES menu was cutting off in the first place! So while I was looking for replacement monitor on eBay I ordered correct converter suitable for my Arcade1Up display. I connected today and...
It worked! Display is sharp as supposed to be, all in great 4:3 ratio!
I literally went down on my knees and kissed my cabinet, hahaha!
Glad I didn't tell my wife (since she paid for my arcade cabinet) but I promised to myself to be careful and read everything twice before making a decision - and stop tinkering with Arcades and just enjoy playing it!
Thank you again for listening and replying

Thanks @Zing I read the guide and change the values in config.txt with no effect so I changed them to default. Then I added overscan_scale=1, changed ratio of my screen to 4:3, rebooted it
and disaster happened. Im ended up with grey screen after each reboot. So I disconnected RPi ,connected my laptop via VGA cable and still have grey screen. Im using HDMI converter pcb board so I thought I possibly fried it? So then I disconnected the board, connected original game which came with Arcade 1Up machine and I have game sound but still have grey screen! It it even possible to damage LCD screen by switching resolution on pcb board? If my wife find out I broke Arcade 1Up machine she will kill me. I'm already panicking
What shall I do?

@Zing hah.my screen resolution doesn't allow to see it and I can't adjust it , found anyway - many thanks!

Hello, I forgot what was a hotkey for quick game search (New feature in this version) I mapped new joypads and I can't remember now. Was it L shoulder and X or something?

PS. I also don't want use external USB for storing my Roms, I will be using 4 usb ports for controllers,mouse and keyboard

I installed my 64gb Recalbox image on 128gb SD card.
Trying to expand SHARE partition under GPart isn't possible because it's an ExFat partition and GPart not reading it. Left with unallocated 64gb space which I formatted as Ex4 under Gpart but I can't merge into ExFat SHARE partition. Same happens under Windows - Partition Tool see extra 64gb but it's not possible to merge into this SHARE ExFat partition because it's 98% or 63gb full. Do I need to format SD card in MSDOS , create .iso file and burn 64GB image onto it again? Or just format SHARE partition on 128gb as DOS, copy all folders from spare 64gb SD card onto it? Gonna take lot of time
Did anyone successfully expanded RECALBOX SD card please?

@Zing Just update, I couldn't get successful connection to Skraper (Server overload) so I ran my Skyscraper on Vectrex by choosing only game logos and after games update, all my missing games from Atari, MAME,NES, VECTREX appeared again, with game screenshots! So bizarre! But I'm gonna make a backup now and try Skraper after weekend when traffic easy off a bit
Have a good weekend !

@Zing yeah, I definitely try this approach. I will back up my stuff first many thanks again !

Thanks @Zing . Not liking my Skyscraper but
Skraper looks impressive! My guess is I can just pop in my SD card with Recalbox into my laptop and Skraper will defect all system and scrape without overwriting existing ones? Or shall I get clean USB stick and scrape all stuff there. I'm not fussed about videos m, just in-game screenshots

Help! I had some systems without game screenshot(MSX1, MSX2) so I decided to run Skyscraper again this time by selection 3D case rather than In-game screenshot. The missing systems screenshot were updated but to my horror Skyscraper wiped off some gameslist completely! NES, MAME, ATARI800XL, VECTREX doesn't show any games at all or just 1 game now
Games are still there, main screen shows correct number but when clicking on these systems there's nothing. I haven't check gameslist file but I run different scraper options on VECTREX over and over again - still showing only 1 out of 67 games

I'm not sure but there's no way to update from 6 to 7
I've seen others having connection errors with Recalbox 6 recently but they could still transfer files between pi and pc. I just was fed up, my pc could still ssh to PI but my Mac acces was denied, and I mainly operate on Macbook.

@acris YES.Thank you and looking forward to it !
Happy New Year!

@acris thank you, that's wicked news but is update available now?
When I'm choosing UPDATES from a main menu I have CHECK UPDATES ON and UPDATE TYPE (STABLE or CUSTOM) and nothing else to choose like START UPDATE , am I missing something there? how do I start update?

@robgolbh2 yes mate, I had the same problem with my older Recalbox versions, not sure why, but I still could get access via ssh and transfer files but I got fed up at the end and installed new Recalbox 7.1.1 , connection is great and then I find out I can transfer all my roms by putting SD card into my computer! So do yourself a favour, get another SD card, install new Recalbox there and then you can transfer stuff from old Recalbox to a new one. It's the only way

Evening all and Happy New Year!!
I'm enjoying freshly installed Reloaded Recalbox V 7.1.1 so far, finding it very user friendly and slowly completing my arcade games collection plus Atari 800, Amiga 600/1200 Whdload, Amstrad, ZX, etc. but when it comes to PC/DOS It's a bit of pain because in order to launch a game Recalbox takes me to DOSBOX environment and there I have to mount a game every time I want to play. Is there a script where I can use without launching it from command prompt, like in a proper arcade mode?
I'm using Recalbox 7.1.1 running on RPI 3B, DOS on DOSBOX version is 5.0 I believe. Any help is appreciated
