I got a 5 inch hdmi monitor with resolution of 800x480 for a project and tried to run recalbox on it.

At first, the screen was all messed up, since the Pi coudnt find the proper resolution. So I found online how to change the screen resolution via config.txt.

So I held shift and via noobs edited the config.txt with this parameters:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1 (not sure why they asked to do this command, but I did it anyway)
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=87
hdmi_cvt= 800 480 60 6 0 0 0

And the result was this:

The problem happens when I tried to start any game from any emulator from any console.

It doesnt keep the same resolution. It looks like this:

So... where else do I need to go to config the resolution? Where else I have to check ? And how?

Thanks for helping!

thanks. I posted the same issue there, but no one replied yet. Probably this is happening only here

Universal XML Scrapper is making me crazy!

Sometimes it works. But most of the time the program just downloads all the images and makes a blank gamelist.xml.

I dont know what to do to fix this. To make things worse, my computers oftens takes a long time for this scraps to complete. More than one hour for SNES and Genesis alone.

estou tendo um problema.. quando faço scrap ele baixa as imagens e coloca no diretorio dentro da pasta de roms do sistema, mas deixa um gamelist.xml vazio na pasta. ele por algum motivo não está gerando o gamelist.xml!!!

@substring @paradadf may I ask another question? Its impossible to me to copy the ROMS from my PC to the recalbox using the network. My network isnt stable enough apparently to copy the games. They keep showing errors and telling me to try again and copy again and again. Im trying to copy a single PSX game for about an hour and this piece of s**t keeps failing to copy. What other possibilities I have to transfer tthe games to the SD CARD? I know theres a way to insert a full USB KEY but other than that, what can I do to copy the games to the SD CARD (right now im trying an 64gb sd card.

@Substring is it possible to have recalbox on a small 16gb card and use a usb key with all the roms????? I didnt know that

@Substring yes. Batocera uses recalbox, but in my opinion there is nothing better than recalbox 4.0. Not even 4.1 comes closer so far

These guys dont sell the system per-se, but use it to advertise their store. Thats the main reason why I want to make a clean copy of recalbox for myself. I hate this poluted theme and all the advertise that goes within.

Im trying to make a good, clean, recalbox 128gb iso without ads and with nice themes. Still reading all the manuals and tutorials for scrapping though.

Thank you for your help!

Here is the video showing what I meant. But now Im beginning to understand what you told me. Thanks a lot for your patience @substring I will try to make subfolders and see how it looks like !

@Substring sorry. I feel like a complete idiot. I still doesnt understand. Maybe we are talking about different things?

If youre talking about Scraping the act of write description and add box art and screenshots to a game, this I understand how to do.

Im talking about add an entire system, exactly on the main screen (white bar).

I know I can add multiple arcade systems because I have just played a recalbox version with this exact same configuration. I can record a movie and upload to youttube to show what I mean.

Apparently this is pretty basic stuf and im struggling like hell to make this happen. I feel bad for myself lol.

Let me record a video to show what im talking about

@substring wait wait wait hold on...

For mame games for example: I wanted to make a "konami games" so I make a Konami folder inside Mame folder and put the roms on it? What about the image logo? Where can I find those? I wanted to have the konami logo passing by just like Super nintendo, MAME, Neogeo has logos too! But I cant find where the system store these pngs or jpegs.
