Hi Retroboy! I have been to that page but I really don't find that very readable . If I take a topic for example "Add shaders to Retroarch" and I go into that folder there is nothing to read. But on this blog you posted some shots and than I understand what you are building and how its coming along. But most off all I am just looking forward to get my hands on it and hope to hear something about a release date. I really love Recalbox and think you are nearing perfection. I hope in the next update to get MSX and C64 to be actual playable with the controller. And the reason that I check this site daily was because on 23 mars you hoped to get him out within the week and I really wanted to be on it from day one you release it to the public. Now that you say that it will only come out when all issues are closed I feel that it can still takes months...? I will stop coming back here and check in once a month, its a bit frustrating waiting for something that is not coming. I thought it was further along. Thanks for all your work!

I'm hoping for some news too! I come here daily to hope to hear about 3.3.0 but no luck so far... The tag from Retroboy ; RecalboxOS v3.3.0 (mouaha) is bugging the hell out off me

ok,thanks for the reply. I will try again tomorow. The games work in FBA so the roms and folder names must be correct.

Hey Nick, Thank you very much for your work! it makes life a lot easier. Ik have tried it with Nes and it works perfectly!! I ran out off time to try the rest but I noticed that FBA didn't find anything... I still have to try FBA Libreto. Does this scraper work for FBA?

Hi, I've completely formatted my card and did a fresh install. When I then inserted all Snes roms without the scraped data, the boot-time was 20 seconds! I then inserted all other roms I have and that seems to be too much... I have all mame, fba, fba libreto, snes, megadrive, nes, mastersytem and all gameboys complete. And that seems to be too much. The boot-time is again over 2 minutes. And I haven't even begun on scrapped data... I know these are a crazy ammount off numbers off roms and off course I don't need them all. The reason to have them playable is because I think it's fun when a friend is arround and he remembers a specific game from the past, is't nice to be able to play it directly. The only workable solution for me is now to make 2 sd-cards. One with everything on it to play with friends. And a smaller one with selected roms I play allot. If anybody has a better sollution I'm all ears!!

Hi! Welcome to the recalbox family! I don't know what program you used to burn your recalbox image. I use ApplePi Baker for OSX and there is an option to make a complete backup of your sd-card. Be aware that it makes large backups. If you have a 32 Gb card, it will make a 32 Gb file nomatter if your card is only 10% full. But it's safe and it works!

Hey, It worked! I managed to backup my snes scrapped data. You're advice was so helpfull! I had to learn quite a bit: SSH is new for me and I have never worked with Linux before, so all the commands are new. But I copied the snes folder to share and now I have backuped all covers. I also backuped the snes gamelist so that should be safe. After this weekend I will erase my sd card completely and see if I can get faster boot-times.

Hey! One more question: Where does Recalbox save the scraped data? Can I backup those too? If I backup my roms,bios and savefiles and then format my card I must scrape snes again I'm afraid. And for future formats, when I want a fresh install, it would be nice if all scraped data could be backuped!

Ok! I will definitily try that! 10 seconds boot-time is amazing, i will also try other sdcards. Now that I know how fast it can be to boot into Recalbox I will not stop untill I get that! And now i will start the hunt for all other rom-scrapings. Thank you very much for thinking along with me!!

Hey Nickdj, I find your information very useful! I will make subfolders, I think i will keep my favorite roms in the main folder and all the rest in a subfolder. i was looking for such a solution, thanks for the tip. On the topic off boot-time: I have a Pi2 with an normal install of Recalbox on a Sandisk Extreme 32 GB class 10 card. Nothing on usb or anything like that. The only thing I have done after install is adding a lot off roms and I have scrapped the Snes roms. May I ask; you have also several thousands roms installed and scrapped more then me it sounds. From power-on till the sound starts, what is your boot-time? Mine is 2 minutes and 5 seconds. I really would like to scrape all my other roms, but not at the expence off adding more minutes... It kind off kills the buzz a bit for me, to play a quick game. (like Super Punch out for example

hey that is very intresting! If I understand you correct, you seperate your favorite roms from the rest. But how do you play one of those other games if you feel like it? Do you have to move it back to the original folder? Or is it possible from within EmulationStation to browse in differend folders?

Ok! Thanks for the tip! I have only the complete set off snes games scraped, but if it will boot faster then I will remove the scraped information.

Hello, I'm realy enjoying Recalbox!! Thanks to the maker of this wonderfull program! I have a little question: When I first installed Recalbox it booted realy fast, but now I have put a few thousands games on it and now it takes well over 2 minutes to boot. Does Recalbox check every game or every console on boot? And if so, can that be turned off? It would be ideal if I could manualy give the order to check for new roms, but keep the boot-time to a minimum. Thanks in advance!
