I'd love to see these included

Hi all,

Great job Recalbox team on the new Christmas Beta. Seems to be running great so far but I am having an issue where the Scraper is not creating or modifying the gamelist.xml when Scraping. I have manually tried updating the Games List but no metadata is shown for these games. Manually Scraping a single game also doesn't add the metadata.

Seems like an issue in this Beta? I've tried rebuilding the SD card 3 times with the same results. Not system specific - using Screenscraper as the Scraper.

Any workaround known?

Many thanks!

:EDIT: Just noted the post above mine - looks like the same issue?

@rockaddicted Thanks for the reply. Keep up the great work - hopefully this issue will be sorted one day

Hey guys,

I'm assuming this should be reported as a bug but seems the font is slightly 'italic' on some titles?

See the 'E ON' on BLAZE ON
See the 'G STAR' on BLAZING STAR
No issues on the BLOMBY CAR

I think it's been like it for a while but never really noticed until using a small screen - then I noticed it looks like that on a 1080p TV too!

Had the same problem, thankfully was only using a test SD card and not my fully configured one.

@Substring Thanks for the help! I created a custom mode without the aspect ratio, seems to have done the trick! Font looks horrible but I could probably modify the theme for larger font to fix that.

So my config.txt has this:
hdmi_cvt=480 320 60
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_drive=2

It will take a 1080p/720p signal but it looks 'tall' hence trying to set a custom resolution/aspect ratio.

@Substring I understand but in custom CVT I need to define an aspect ratio?
aspect ratio 1=4:3, 2=14:9, 3=16:9, 4=5:4, 5=16:10, 6=15:9 are the only options, no 3:2?

@Substring It's not the emulators that are a problem now it's the UI. I have read through the video config but don't see a way to force my resolution? None of the HDMI modes or the CVT mode has the right resolution/aspect ratio options? Perhaps I am understanding it wrong...

This is the display I am using: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Newest-3-5-LCD-USB-Touch-Screen-Display-HDMI-1920x1080-LCD-Display-Audio-for-Raspberry-Pi/32770598031.html

@Substring Thanks! I did look at that but seems you have to define a ratio? There is no 3:2. The screen is HDMI

Changing the RetroArch config to 3:2 ratio the games look fine, just struggling with the UI looking right now. I wouldn't mind black bars at the top and the bottom but the 'tall' stretch is bugging me!

Hey guys,

Is there anyway to make the UI and the games run in 3:2 ratio? I have a 480x320 display which everything looks 'tall' on.

I've looked through the possible config.txt settings but not able to find that resolution.

I have already set:
framebuffer_width=480
framebuffer_height=320

but doesn't seem to make a difference?

Thanks!

@RustyMG it's off by default on the Pi1/zero build but have tried toggling on and off.
