Hello from Germany!

Inspired by @Colonel69 's design, I created a little Recalbox based on a oneninedesign case myself.

Please note that I cannot recommend this build. I had to remove some GPIO pins (and even had to cut into the black plastics that is holding the pins o_O).

Otherwise, the case looks great and I only hope that my soldering skills were good enough that the resistor (LED) and cables will stick to the switch (which is momentary, btw).

Thanks for the great software!

Hello and thank you for your reply!

What I do not understand is: How do I install on the built-in HDD when I cannot boot from USB?

Hello!

A friend of mine just gave me an old PC (Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ with GeForce 9800 GT). Sadly the Motherboard, an Asus M2A-VM, isn't able to boot from USB (no, an BIOS-Update isn't available).

Is there any possibility to install Recalbox on this machine? There are two HDDs and a DVD-drive installed, Windows 7 worked like a charm...

Dude, RTFM, please!

@paradadf : Thanks for your help, as I experience some weird things myself (lol, meaning the recalbox).

Could you give an example how to implement such a delay, i.e. having to press the momentary button for let's say 1/2 second to turn the recalbox on/off?

Great stuff!

12 mm momentary switch with integrated LED (blue), 3,3 V 15 mA, I myself used a 62 Ohm resistor for less brightness.

Hallo!

Ich habe auch schon festgestellt, dass man die Spiele im neogeo-Ordner nicht direkt mit Boardmitteln der Recalbox scrapen kann. Ich gehe hier immer wie folgt vor:

1. Kopieren/Verschieben der Spiele in "fba_libretro", nicht "neogeo".
2. Scrapen der Spiele über die Recalbox.
3. Verschieben der Spiele und deren Artwork/Bilder (Ordner "downloaded_images" o.s.ä.) in den "neogeo"-Ordner.
4. Beenden der Emulation Station z.B. mittels "F4" (Tastatur an der Recalbox) oder über ein Terminal mittels "/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop".
5. Kopieren/Anhängen der relevanten Einträge der gameslist.xml von "fba_libretro" in die von "neogeo".
6. Starten der Emulation Station z.B. über das Terminal mittels "/etc/init.d/S31emulationstation start".

Ist sicherlich etwas umständlich, funktioniert aber. Und wenn man alle NeoGeos in einem Abwasch macht, auch schnell vonstatten.

FYI: Just tested Power LED and momentary switch with unmodified

system.power.switch=PIN56PUSH

The LED goes on at system start, switches off when the screen goes blank at boot-up, then goes on and stays that way. Switches off again at shutdown.

Only difference when using the

system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET

script is that the Power LED flashes three(?) times after pressing the Power button.

Hallo!

Gehäuse hat einen Abnehmer gefunden, vielen Dank!
