Salut toto, les mix d'images ne sont pas disponible pour l'instant car il y a un problème de copyright et je dois éditer chaque mix un à un. Donc dès que j'aurai une minute je modifierai le lien et ajouterai les mix pour UXS. Désolé du délais je comprend la déception.

Hi @deletedaccount , I returned to Recalbox after a year or even more. Found your fantastic themen and wonder, if you could already take a few hours and modify your UXS MIX, so the community and I could use it. It looks really great.
If not, don't hassle. You did a really great job so far. Thx!

Thx for your answere. I would offer my time to try things out, but my skills on linux are not the best. I already struggle to open xrandr...

@susan33 , many thanks for your hard work on the port! I'm currently checking, if this is finally an option to switch my cabinets and bartops from GameEx to Recalbox.

Right now, I have some questions:

• I spent 2 hours to figure out how to change resolutions on the x64 version. It's running on a laptop with an external 16001200 Eizo screen attached via VGA. I can't get ES into a higher resolution than the standard 720p and the libretro cores also render with a 720p hight. Is there any way to have everything rendered nativly in 16001200 pixels 4:3 aspect ratio? Using global videomode "DMT 51 VGA" did nothing. And I can't find the config.txt file on the x64 build.

• I noticed that the libretro cores do not show any overlay (Retro / Scanlines). Are they somehow missing or is it my fault?

• While running Windows as OS on the laptop, I can switch off the internal screen and only use the external monitor by pressing Fn+F8 keys (usual laptop hotkeys). With Recalbox as OS, this button combo is not working and I had no luck switching off the internal display by messing around in the linux guts. Any idea? Maybe this belongs to the ACPI system?

• Next I need to try is rom compatibility under MAME2010. Thats one of my major goals to have the 0.139 romset up and running smoothly, before Recalbox would be able to take over the crown from my classical MAME/GameEx cabinet setup.

Thanks for any help in advance and keep up your fantactic work!
I will also consider ditching the old Core2Duo laptops in favor of XU4s, if Mame2010 would run nicely.
Expect my donation soon.

I also see this error message very often on my fresh installed PI3 with 4.0beta3. Never had this before.

I do it this way. I notices, that my Wifi connectivity to the network and internet instantly goes down, once the BT dongle is in place. The Wifi component often cant connect to the router, reports a IPV6 ip address and other issues in Recalbox. If connection is established to the router, the transferrates are nearly 0 KB/s. If you plug out the BT dungle, everything is back to normal. Anyone else notices this behaviour? Was not the case on Rpi2 with Wifi + BT dongles in place. Only on Rpi3 with integrated Wifi and external BT dongle. Thx; Dan

The new Theme is fantastic!!! Also the first theme, where I love the sliding animations between menus. I found the Atari 7800 Sub-Theme in GIT by myself, since it was not included in the b3 update.   Question: Is anyone already working on a VEXTREX sub-theme?   Greetings, Dan

Hi,   have the correct BIOS for LYNX in place, but no rom will work. 4-5 seconds blackscreen, then back to Emulationstation. Roms are fine and tested on PC, Region of ROMS is USA/EUROPE. Any ideas? Is LYNX working with you?   Thx, Duglim

Hi, sorry for writing english. Read your post with google translate. What I did in my NES Recalbox was wiring the LED to GPIO Pins for 3.3V and Ground. Including a 150 Ohm resistor in the circuit. So the LED is ON/OFF if the Pi is ON/OFF. For powering the Pi ON/OFF I wired the AC adaptor cable through the NES power button. Just cut the red wire inside the Micro USB cable and let it go through thw power switch. Done. Maybe this is an idea.   Greetings, Duglim

It#s a duplicate of this request, but it's a good one. http://blog.recalbox.com/forums/topic/sync-game-savesstates-to-dropbox-or-similar/ +1 for the cloud backup from me.

Hi, I couldn't resist on building an NES Recalbox with the new Raspberry Pi 3 in it. The cartridge slot is still intact and paired with 2 8bitdo NES30 controllers, it's a nice package I think. Power LED and Power switch are working, for sure.   Also features 2 external USB ports for charging the controllers or KODI media. Many thanks for supporting the Pi3 so quickly. Once the integrated bluetooth is supported, I can also get rid of the USB BT adapter. Greetings to all, Duglim

Wow, thank you for this excellent explaination. Now I can understand the situation. Maybe Pi2 or ODroid4 will bring the needed boost. I was just curious, because on my Mame cabinet the latest Mame runs excellent with full set (clones filteres out) and it's an old Core2Duo 2,2 GHz. Thx, Duglim

Speaking of romsets and MAME versions... Just for curiosity. What is the issue with lots of arcade roms not working in Recalbox? Is it just the pure processing power of the Pi or is there something else missing to make a full romset work -let's say- like on windows. I see many games crashing or going back to ES. Duglim

Hi Acris, exatly what I mean. NOT combining the emulators, but combining the Gamelists in the Frontend. I also thought that the new 4.0 feature of per game emulator settings may open a way to achieve this without massive coding. Greetz, Duglim

It's in the works right now. No date yet, but the devs made some progress recently, I heard.

Hi, some Arcade games run via FBAlibretro, others run via Mame2003, so you have to setup both systems and add all the working games to the two systems. In the end, you will have 2 separate systems in Recalbox to play Arcade games, which makes sense from emulation point of view, but not from players view. I wonder if there is a chance to combine both systems into one new list/system called "Arcade" in Recalbox. I do NOT mean combining the folders or gamelist.xml files, since it will be a mess with the different romset versions, but simply reading both systems and showing a combined Arcade list in alphabethical order in the Recalbox frontend. It would bring Arcade games to the focus instead of the emulation system. Greetings, Duglim

Maybe already discussed, but I didn't find it. So just ignore/delete, if duplicate. It could be cool to not only see a picture and metadata of games, but also a videoclip previewing the gameplay. E.g. xxx.com has these clips for nearly every game out there in 320x240 and 640x480 as MP4 files. I imagine this as a really cool and helpful addition to the menu, if the theme would show a games picture and/or the gameplay video. It encourages to test more unknown games, if the preview video looks cool. Greetings, Duglim

I searched, but did not find anything about this. Are there plans to add an "Attract Mode" as a screensaver? Spec ideas: - After X minutes idling in menu, Recalbox starts a game automatically to "attract" players. - Every Y minutes the game changes - Pressing the Start or A button will end attract mode and stay in this game - Pressing any other button will end attract mode and return to menu - You can choose what games the attract mode should play -- Random from all games -- Random from particular systems -- Random from favorites If this was already considered any denied, just relete my idea. Greetings, Duglim

Sure, I know. I have a backup and on my Laptop there is a copy of the recalbox share folder incl. all Roms, Bios, Scrapings and Settings. So I can install a fresh SD, attach it to the network and then copy over just this one folder. It's even easier since in 4.0 the scrapings are inside of the roms folders. But the copy process itself takes ages, last time about 10-12 hours. Had another tought: If Noobs would not create the EXT4 partition with maximum size of the SD card, but leave a few MB unused, it may be possible to clone and restore an SD image. Most SD cards differ in a few MB capacity, thatswhy restoring an image fails if the new SD card is just a little bit smaller. Learned this the hard way after setting up a perfect Recalbox on a 32GB Samsung mSD and trying to clone it to SanDisc or Toshiba mSD with also 32GB. They were a few sectors smaller. Need to try, if I could restore the image to a 64GB mSD. Greetings, Duglim

I wonder the same. I setup 2 Recalboxes with beta 4.0 last weekend and it took me ages to copy over 20 gigs of roms and scraping data each time. I tried to create an SD card image of the first Recalbox, but the second SD card had a different manufaturer, so it was not exactly identical and the image could not be transferred. Accessing the share or roms folder from Windows via SD card slot would be cool. Will an EXT4 driver for windows help? Thx, Dan

Picture of the finished project The charger next to the PSX is for the two controllers.   Greetings, Duglim
