We’re proud to present you our new Clean Retro theme. It’s been a long time we’ve wanted to make a clean theme so you could browse your collection in style! With the new theme customizer functionality, you can now choose between 5 different system views. Choose the help menu icons depending on the controller you’re using. Choose the system logos according to your country. Beautiful splash screen intro video is included. Non distractive overlays for all systems are included. A custom system list that organize all your systems is included. A custom mix image to scrape your games in high definition. New audio tracks have been added. We also remastered all audio tracks to have consistent audio level between system change. The theme is also fully compatible with any screens like CRT and smaller screens.

Hi, I've tried connecting my PS3 controller on my Odroid XU4 and it doesn't work. After I do a bluetooth device scan it find the controller but once I click on it, it doesn't connect. It gives me the error message when it can't connect to a bluetooth controller.

I tried resetting the controller with the small button on the back.

I tried going in the RB manager and change the bluetooth driver and it does the same thing.

I've done my tests with a USB bluetooth controller that works with RB on x86 laptops.

I've asked my friend who have a XU4 and he tried with a generic, dualshock 4, SN30 Pro and a switch pro controller and they all didn't worked. He tried on the Odroid 4.0 bluetooth module 3.

Thanks for helping me.

Sorry for the late reply and update about the theme.

I can confirm that the latest Recalbox version have bring back an old issue where the theme backgrounds are loaded without limits until it fills the ram and shows white. On previous versions where it was fixed it was only loading previous and next systems. Maybe 3-5 I don't know. But we were able to use high resolution 1080p backgrounds. We're in 2019 and

• putting the system in 720p
• turning off samba, api and manager

are not solutions. By the way I tried 55 systems with 65kb image files and this issue still persist.

Someone at Recalbox have to fix this issue. I understand that the RPI3B+ is limited in term of ram but this is an issue that has been fixed in the past. My old backup image works flawlessly with 1080p high resolution backgrounds.

People here are also asking for the theme, just check the latest replies. It's not only me that's asking for it.

Thanks for reading me and hope this will be fixed anytime soon!

Hi, I've installed the latest version from scratch (not updated). I've copied my games backup in corresponding folders.

I'm currently creating a custom theme and I'm getting lot of crashes

• While rebooting emulation station (refresh gamelist)
• While browsing the systems list
• While browsing the games list
• Using my RB after it was open for few hours and let there

The crash brings the black RB screen with the RB logo at bottom.

The crash are really random, can happen at any time.

I've checked and the VRAM and it never goes over 250mb from what I remember. It doesn't seem related to this.

Is this a known issue? Thanks for help!

Don't forget to credit me in your readme because you have used my logos with the white border. It took me a lot of time to make all of these... And why not make your own?

I did further searches and found out the confirmation that my bluetooth dongle is compatible per your compatibility sheet https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Compatibility-(EN)

IOGEAR Bluetooth 4.0 USB Micro Adapter (GBU521)

I really think there's just an issue on the XU4 handling bluetooth connections through the menu. I know it can be done manually with this method https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Connect-bluetooth-controller-manually-(EN)

But it my opinion this manual "not user friendly" method isn't the Recalbox way. It more looks like a Retropie kind of workaround. I know Recalbox is really reputed for having things done directly from the menu and easily.

I think a lot of Odroid users like me would appreciate a lot a fix for this

Thanks!

Best theme in my opinion!!! Congratulations

On SNES system, i try the EU version, console on main menu looks ok, but the gamepad on the top of the screen is appearing with the US version. Can you fix it?

Thanks!

Hi makination,

It's a known issue. When importing the svg in Photoshop the buttons of the EU controller dissapear. I didn't found a way. We currently are replacing all controller SVG on this theme and this should fix the issue

Added the issue to Gitlab. Hope this get resolved in the next update!

Backgrounds are 50% darkness now, you can read words better.

Never update our theme. Please delete this file. The theme here is outdated as we can't write the team name in it. It's now on our Github. Do a Google search you guys should find it. The theme work 100% perfectly with our official version.

AGAIN, never update someone else's work because after people will come on our Discord and tell us it's not working.

Thanks for your comprehension!

Hi I'm using the Odroid XU4 with the latest version of Recalbox running on a clean install.

The power button is correctly wired to the XU4 but doesn't work in Recalbox menu or in game. One strange thing though is that the button works in Kodi.

Any ideas? Thanks!

@freemanqc said in Problème de mapping sur Mame:

Cela me parait très étrange

Il n'y a rien d'étrange, c'est comme çà que fonctionne MAME : après avoir lancé pour la première fois un jeu tu es censé faire son mapping. Certains des cores MAME ont fait plus ou moins d'effort pour que le mapping par défaut de certains jeux soit décent, mais ce n'est pas le cas de tous, et probablement pas de mame2015 qui est l'un des moins maintenus.

En fait c'est faux, ce n'est pas comme cela que fonctionne MAME. Faite moi confiance je connais très bien la version Windows de MAME.

Il est également faux de dire qu'après avoir lancé un jeu il faut en faire le mapping. Sous Mame on fait le mapping une seule fois et TOUS les jeux sont compatibles à moins qu'un fichier cfg précis pour un jeu soit créé et overide la config par défaut.

Certains core Mame on fait plus ou moins d'efforts pour le mapping? Mais qu'est-ce que je lis? Cette phrase ne fait aucun sens. Tel qu'expliqué plus haut le mapping est pour le core au complet et est effectué en branchant un clavier et en appuyant sur la touche TAB.

Mame 2015 est "moins maintenu"? C'est n'importe quoi... Plus la version de Mame est élevé plus les jeux sont patcher et stables. Par contre plus la version de Mame est élevé plus elle demande des ressources système. C'est d'ailleurs pourquoi la 0.78 a longtemps été préconisé pour les pi0 et pi1. Donc il y a une balance à trouver entre les specs et la version de ton set. Le but ici est de choisir le romset le plus récent possible selon l'année ou il est sortie vs les specs des PCs moyens à cette époque. Comme ça on est quasi assuré que les jeux vont rouler.

D'ailleurs dans la docu de retropie mame2015 est recommendé pour pour les Odroid XU4 et cela fait entièrement de sens vue les capacités du XU4.

Le problème ici semble être au niveau de retroarch qui est mal configuré. Je n'ai jamais altéré ou même ouvert le menu retroarch donc ca vient comme ça par défaut. Donc il y a 2 possiblités.

1. Retroarch a des fichiers de configs custom pour certains jeux selon le core pour une raison inexpliquable.

2. Les devs de Recalbox on testés des jeux et on enregistrés des configs custom avec retroarch lors du dev et n'ont pas prit soin de supprimer ces fichiers de config et ils override la config par défaut de Mame. Ensuite ils ont push cela dans l'image Recalbox.à

J'ai cherché mais je n'ai pas accès à ces dossiers. Je crois qu'il y a une partition OVERLAY protégé et je suspecte que ces fichiers seraient là.

Dans tous les cas le problème majeur est que dans le menu de Recalbox les boutons A et B doivent être inversés pour que la majorité des jeux Mame soient configurés comme il le faut. J'ai donc ouvert la config Mame globale et j'ai refait le mapping correctement et la plupart des jeux fonctionnent.

@barbudreadmon honnêtement tu aurais pu m'induire en erreur et me faire perdre beaucoup de temps. Par chance j'ai une bonne connaissance de Mame. Avant d'aider les autres assure toi de savoir de quoi tu parles.

Merci quand même!

Bonjour, j'utilise la dernière version de Recalbox pour une machine d'arcade sous Odroid XU4 et selon les jeux le mapping est bon ou pas.

Par exemple les contrôles sont inversé Bouton 2 / Bouton 1 pour Bubble Bobble et pour Aero Fighters 3 ils sont en ordre Bouton 1 et Bouton 2.

Cela me parait très étrange comme je n'ai rien touché au niveau configuration autre que de configurer mes joystick dans le menu principal.

J'utilise la version de mame2015 la plus à jour soit 0.169 et quasi tout les jeux de mon best set fonctionnent. Également tous les bios sont correctement installés.

Des idées? Merci!

Hi, I've managed to get Daphne working on my Odroid XU4.

The only problem is that there's a visual glitch with the ES menu flashing.

Video example : https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Vui1Les6tRm-zFJTn2AUKpmYN7goEBZ/view?usp=sharing

Is there any fix yet for this? Is this a known issue?

*It happens on any game.

Thanks!

Hi, as discussed on Discord, the "-1" splashscreen option in recalbox.conf doesn't work on Odroid XU4.

Thanks!

Hi! I use this software a lot and I would appreciate an update for Recalbox 6. Thanks

Done @FreemanQC

Thanks Acris, really appreciated!

@bkg2k said in [Theme] Clean Retro:

ES Always loaded all themes. This is not a "New" issue, it's a matter of total system count in only 1gb of memory. We already tried to adjust the CPU/GPU balance, but we can't do much more.

I understand how discouraging it must be to develop on the RPI3 B+, at least it works with the Recalbox theme. As an artist/designer there's no way I'll concede 1080p backgrounds. That being said, understanding the RPI3 limitations, I'll just abandon support for the RPI3.

Can a moderator edit this topic and write that this theme is compatible with the latest version of RB on Odroid XU4 only.

Otherwise when RB will be supported on the RPI4, the theme will work.

*Also as I said before the latest version of this theme is available on Github only. Please don't ask me for the link, forbidden here.

Thanks.

I just tried 65 systems with the theme on Odroid XU4 and it works flawlessly.

RPI3B+ needs a fix.
