Guys, I am relatively new to recalbox and am just trying out the emulators. So far most seem okay but I have had an issue with the odyssey2 one. I have a pi3 with Xbox 360 controller and a USB keyboard. I have just upgraded to 4.0.2 to solve the black screen issue. I have the o2rom.bin bios file. I can get games to load and start but have no input from then on with keyboard or joystick. Games running are satellite attack and cosmic conflict. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Update I found that the hotkey to escape works. And I can type into the highest score field. But cannot move or fire! Makes for very short games!!!!!

@supernature2k hi! I have just built one of these. They look fabulous. I'm intreagued as to how you got the on off switch to work with the pi? You should upload a tutorial. Yours looks great against the other consoles

@Substring wonders of a dremel. Allows a bit of heat to float away from the pi. I'll monitor the temp as I go and will fit a mini fan if needed. Good thing is it still functions as a 4 port hub. Although I forget how many times I dismantled it to shave some more plastic off of the cable holes I had cut

@Substring aha pictures. No worries when I get round to it. The wife calls it the 'stupid plastic toy'

@Substring just upgraded to 4.0.2 and works a treat. This stuff keeps you guys on your toes

@DjLeChuck sweet thanks for that!

Re: Problem when leaving a game and entering another game after upgrade

Guys. I was wondering if the bug in this thread was resolved? I have just loaded 4.0.1 on my new build and this happens to me when dropping in and out of games. I lose the picture but get sound. The only way to fix it is a reboot. I'm using a pi3 via hdmi in an LCD tv. In the U.K. So pal. Funny thing is it never happens on every game change. Seems to be less prone if you swap systems.

Apologies if this is already solved somewhere

Hi all, I have just finished constructing my pi3 recalbox fitted inside a Sega USB hub - as per the many tutorials on the web - it's neat and recalbox looks good on it. What a great little os. I have tried retropie, lakka and running the emulators on windows. So far for ease of use - that the Xbox controller is plug and play - recalbox is top of the tree. All I need to do now is try all the emulators and see how they compare! Great job done by the community!

I take it if I ask a question then I should start a thread if I can't find a solution already posted on the forum?
