Cheers thanks

I have complied a x86_64 dev build from master, using docker and the generic config which built and installed fine.

I`m wondering when the next stable is released can I upgrade to it, or do I need to reinstall the stable image when released ?

Reason being is that I have tried the Christmas beta , but the target box has no ethernet access whereas the dev build (built 9th Jan) has working ethernet. So I cant investigate/report issues with the Christmas build.

Thanks.

@felipeadms said in How to convert changes made in recalbox to .IMG?:

@paradadf I understand, but even then I would like to know how to compile the changes made to a ".img" file image. Do you know how to do that?

@felipeadms

You could shrink your created image if your handy with linux by mounting the image as loopback, resizing it, then truncating it.

@strodown Many thanks for the image. Would you mind explaining how you compiled the image ? Did you add the nvidia buildroot to the build then build it via the recallbox docker ? If so l would like to compile an image for the nvidia legacy blob to test it on a old pc I have. Cheers.

Apologies, xrandr options should be -- (double hyphen, not single dash)

@scottaii

Possibly, but I`m not sure. You could try editing .xinitrc with:

xrandr —output LVDS1 —off --output HDMI-1 --auto

(The --auto option will turn the specified output on if it is off and set the preferred (maximum) resolution, assuming HDMI-1 is your external hdmi reported by xrandr, it may be HDMI-0 or another value.)

In the unlikely event it does not auto detect the external display resolution you could set it by:

xrandr —output LVDS1 —off --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080

Or force 720p:

xrandr —output LVDS1 —off --output HDMI-1 --mode 1366x768

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xrandr is a good resource to find out more about xrandr. Hope it helps :)

Hello Scott, are you using the default emulator and core for n64 ? (should be if you have not changed it) I personally have no issues with the stock autoconfiguated setup. Is your laptop display resolution the same as your hdmi TV screen (ie 1080p) ?

default emulator/core:
n64.core=glide64mk2
n64.emulator=mupen64plus

You can check this in the via the main menu > advanced > advanced emulator configuration
or in /recalbox/share/system/recalbox.conf if accessing the the file system via ssh/scp

My [ Video-General] section of mupen64plus.cfg from /recalbox/share/system/configs/mupen64/mupen64plus.cfg looks like this:

[Video-General]

Fullscreen = False
# Width of output window or fullscreen width
ScreenWidth = 1920
# Height of output window or fullscreen height
ScreenHeight = 1080
# If true, use correct aspect ratio, if false, stretch to fullscreen
AspectRatio = True
# If true, activate the SDL_GL_SWAP_CONTROL attribute
VerticalSync = False
# Rotate screen contents: 0=0 degree, 1=90 degree, 2 = 180 degree, 3=270 degree
Rotate = 0

@usman_tahir880

did you stop ES from root terminal from your laptop ?

/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop

then xrandr to list your displays

@usman_tahir880

As @Zing has mentioned you will need to kill emulation station first, here is another thread which might help:

@seba-carp

Hello sebra-carp , sorry but I don`t speak spanish, but looking at your post @ZING referred you here.

Have you tried ?
xrandr -s 1280x720
