Hola a todos.
Tengo un arcade de stick desde hace años que hice con un encoder Zero Delay (Dragonrise) y siempre funcionó bien hasta la versión 8 y 9 de Recalbox.
Ahora mismo solo funciona la palanca hacia arriba, el resto de direcciones y botones no funcionan.
¿Alguien sabe o le ha pasado lo mismo?, me parece muy raro que deje de funcionar de un día para otro.
Gracias de antemano.
Hi there,
I made a few years ago a DIY arcade stick with ZeroDelay encoder (DragonRise 1 player), it have been worked without any issue till Recalbox version 8.
With this version and latest version (9.0) only works "up direction" in stick , all the rest buttons doesn't work.
Does anyone knows why???, it's very strange because it worked without any issue in the past (now my 2 arcade sticks do't work.
Many thanks your support.
Thanks @GDEHON I've been able to access the mame menu following your instructions.
It's much more complicated now...
Thanks for your support, I really apreciate it.
How do I set the default core?.
Thanks mate!.
Hi there!,
I just made a fresh install in my rpi3 and the tab menu is not working for mame.
It used to work in previous versions, how can I access to the menu in order to remap buttons?
Many thanks for your support.
Finally I was able to test my recalbox in my CRT TV.
I had to use an old SD card with a Recalbox (version 4) that I wasn’t unable to update. With the new recalbox version I wasn’t unable to enter noobs and configure it. I set my Recalbox configuration to NTSC mode (my TV is PAL but it also works in NTSC), I followed the exact instructions from the forum.
It works but I had a few issues to solve:
-The audio had a very disgusting noise, I solved it configuring the audio output in “jack” mode.
-The screen was cropped and I mainly solved it activating the overscan option. I had a better screen but I still have some cropped borders. I don’t know how to adjust the screen to fit my TV.
-The image quality is not as good as the quality of my old PS2 console using the same type of connector, I tested the console to check the image quality and to compare it with the Recalbox. I think the problem is the cable I used with my Recalbox, it’s a cheap Chinese cable and I think is not very good. I’m going to make a new cable with good quality conectors and cable, I expect to get better image quality with this DIY cable.
I think the overall image quality is good, but I expect to improve it with a good cable as I said before ( @tifsmo I don't know why you get terrible image quality).
All I have to say is that you can use the Recalbox with an old CRT TV in order to get the retro style we had back in the 80’s and 90’s.
I think that a good improvement for the Recalbox system will be the possibility to select the image output (Jack or HDMI) in order to avoid the config.txt configuration. If you can select the audio output, why not the image???. I have Openelec with Kodi in another raspberry and you can select the image output.
Thanks to everybody for their support.
I don't know how to use WinSCP, can you give me a little more help?.
Thanks for your support.
Hi there,
I need to enter in noobs in Recalbox 17.12.02, I need to change the config.txt, I want to configure my recalbox to use it in a old CRT TV.
Before this version I was able to enter using a keyboard during boot (pressing shift), now during boot I'm unable to enter using "shift" with my keyboard.
Thanks for your support
I have installed a new version of recalbox and Im unable to enter noobs.
I have connected a wireless keyboard and pressing shift during booting doesn't open the edit menu.
How can I change the config txt to edit the crt configuration???
I received the jack adapter yesterday. I don't know if this weekend I would be able to test it.
I'll try to test my crt tv as soon as possible.
I'll be back soon.
I'll try to test my CRT as soon as possible, I don't know when this could be (expect 2-3 weeks at least), this TV isn't in my daily house.
I'll give you my feedback, count on it.
I was thinking on testing NTSC mode (my TV is compatible) all my roms are (U), as you might know, NTSC roms run faster than PAL (I suppose that's why @Substring tested NTSC).
I tried to connect my raspberry model B to my old CRT a few weeks ago, and it didn't work.
After googling a little bit I discovered that my cable wasn't compatible. Fortunately I had a 4 pin jack connector and after a few soldering I was able to fix the cable.
It also didn't work, I googled again and I discovered that I have to configure the config.txt file. I couldn't because I was in my village house and I didn't have internet and a proper computer to do it.
I've bought the following adapter in ebay to fix my old cable and have the proper pin connections:
The adapter is coming from China so it will nedd a few weeks to arrive.
I thought that connecting the raspberry via 3.5 jack connection I will have a video image like the classics arcade. With the feedback from "tifsmo" I'm worried if it's worthy all this effort.
Thanks for your support.
I'm trying to use my old crt tv with recalbox, I have a proper cable but I haven't modified the config.txt, I'll try to do it asap.
Hi there,
I've read the guide to connect Recalbox to a CRT TV via composite cable, and I don't understand the meaning of comment all lines begining with hdmi_:
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Connect-your-recalbox-to-a-CRT-with-composite-(EN)
Then edit the /boot/config.txt file and comment all lines begining with hdmi_, and add one of the sdtv_mode supported :
Can anyone explain to me what's the meaning of "comment all lines"?.
Thanks for your support.
Hi there,
This is Genaker from Spain, I've discovered recalbox some weeks ago and it's the best option I've tried for my raspberry pi.
I've been playing Thunderhoop, a nice spanish arcade game, and I've found that the game crashes if you die in stage 4. If you die from stage 4, the game goes to black and it never return back.
Does anybody played to his game too?, have you died in stage 4 (and crashed the game)?.
I'll thank any feedback to run this game properly.
Best regards.
I checked the default controls and I can go back to the menu using "hotkey+start" in my DS3 pad.
I can do all I need with my DS3 pad.
Thanks for your support.
Hi there,
I've just installed recalbox on my raspberry pi and it works flawlessly, there a few roms not working but I think Mame is working pretty well.
I would like to know if there is any android app to use my phone as a keyboard, mainly to use the "esc" key to cancel the game I'm playing and be able to go back to the menu (without having to switch off the raspberry).
Many thanks for yoyur support.
