Hello!

I'm having trouble with my current setup:

RPi 3B+
Recalbox 8.0.2 Electron
2x 8BitDo SN30 Pro wireless
2x 8BitDo USB adapter

I can successfully pair the SN30s to the adapters (one to each of them), but Recalbox has a hard time recognizing the USB adapters. Sometimes, it will recognize them as "8bitdo adapter", sometimes as "XBox 360 controller", regardless of what mode I wake the SN30s up to. I tried with Start+X and Start+B, but both are not really working well. Currently, my best guess is to physically disconnect the USB adapters, reconnect them and then hope. But maybe there's a better solution?

Thank you!

By the way: amazing support, @davidb2111! Thank you very much!!

Hello!

Just a brief update, as I solved it by simply removing everything from my GPIO ports, and wiring my arcade buttons to a

Zero Delay Arcade USB Encoder

– which then connects to the RPi's USB ports.

All good now! Thank you, and keep it up!

The factory reset didn't change it for some reason, but I figured it out:

Changing the audio option via left/right made the system crash, 'entering' it via A and then changing it in the submenu worked!

All good now – may this help future users looking to solve the same problem, should it occur ever again.

Hi @alvin!

So it worked before you change the Audio Output to HDMI and now you changed it back and it didn't work anymore ?

It worked perfectly on the audio jack at my home setup (HDMI computer screen, audio-jack connected speakers). I then went on a weekend trip, taking the RPi with me. There, we only had a TV with HDMI (and audio over HDMI). Trying to change the audio option to HDMI was tricky already, as the frontend crashed once we tried to change the option. Somehow, we got it working by changing the option "to the left", which somehow, after a couple of reboots, worked.

2 What sort of "HDMI device" did you use "for audio output". A TV, an AV-Receiver or somethig else ?

It's a HP computer (office) screen.

The HDMI-Cabel is now in the right Port of the Raspberry Pi4 (the one next to the USB-Power Supply ?)

Yes, next to the power supply.

What happend if you set
audio.device=auto ?

I set it in

/recalbox/share/system/recalbox.conf

, and it seems to get overwritten after reboot, back to

audio.device=alsa_card.platform-3f902000.hdmi:hdmi-output-0

... which is a bit odd?

(I do run

mount -o remount,rw /

before.)

Thank you!

Hello!

I used a HDMI device for audio output on the weekend, and now I'm back to my audio jack setup for my Raspberry Pi 4 running Recalbox 8.2. Unfortunately, I can't change the audio option anymore:

The Recalbox frontend crashes when I hit left or right here, trying to change the option. (Even when 'blindly' doing this with HDMI disconnected.)

I also tried ssh'ing onto the device, changing (after making it writable) recabox.conf to

# ------------ C - Audio ------------ #
## Set the audio device (auto, hdmi, jack)
## was before: audio.device=alsa_card.platform-3f902000.hdmi:hdmi-output-0
audio.device=jack
## Set system volume (0..100)
audio.volume=58
## Enable or disable system sounds in ES (0,1)
audio.bgmusic=1

and also trying to change it via the web interface. All to no luck, all games crash upon booting.

Any advice would be fantastic, thank you!

Thank you! Is there also a Mac-compatible recommendation? (I can boot up a Windows machine, but macOS would be easier.) Thank you!

Hello!

I'm using Recalbox 8.0 Electron.

Currently, my game lists show the rom file names on the left – but these are often cryptic. I'd like to display the (scraped) game titles instead. Is that possible?

Thank you!
Fabian

Thanks!

But just for clarification – what is a romset?

Hello!

I'm trying to get CPS2 (and 3) games to run on Recalbox 8.0-Electron on a RPi 3.

Unfortunately, these instructions

https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/8238/cps1-and-cps2

link to the moved documentation and has only non-working links.

How does the romset building process (which I need to follow?) work?

Thanks!

Hello!

How do I remove the 'splash video' shown on startup of Recalbox 8.0 Electron?

Thanks
