@Zing Thanks for the info but this is not RA specific. The issue appears to be happening at a lower level since Dolphin is also impacted.
BTW...I just built a Pi4 using the latest image and the same controllers and the issue does not exist. Each controller maps to its respective player correctly. So, it appears that this is an x86 specific issue.
John
I'll preface this by saying that I believe this an an underlying OS issue and I see the same behavior on Ubuntu Desktop, Batocera x86 and Retropie x86 on a few different PC hardware (generic, Lenovo, HP, etc.).
Recalbox 7.1.1 x86 on a Asus Chromebox CN65
I'm having an issue with trying to use 4 genuine PS3 controllers via BT on an x86 build (using the Bluez driver although I tried all 3). I am able to connect/register each without issue.
When I power on 1 controller and launch a 4 player game (Gamecube Mario Kart Double Dash in this case), the led indicator says it is P1 and everything works as expected (mapped to P1).
When I power on a 2 controllers and launch the same game, the led indicator says it is P2 and everything works as expected (P1 mapped to P1, P2 mapped to P2).
When I power 3 controllers and launch the same game, the led indicator says it is P3 and everything works as expected (P1 mapped to P1, P2 mapped to P2, P3 mapped to P3).
When I power on 4 controllers and launch the same game, the led indicator says it is P4, however, P1 is now P2 in-game (LED still says P1), P2 is now P3 in-game (LED still says P2), P3 is now P4 in-game (LED still says P3) and P4 is now P1 in game (LED still says P4).
Also, I have to use the P4 controller to exit the game (select+start) since it is now P1. The controller that has LED1 lit will not work as it is technically P2 now.
FYI...I see the exact same issue is 4 player games in Retroarch (i.e. Mame TMNT). The 4th controller takes ownership of P1.
As far as I can tell, everything looks correct in /dev/input. Check the timestamps of the 'js#' entries as I powered on the controllers 1 minute apart.

Any chance that there is someone else out there that has 4 OEM PS3 Sixaxis controllers to see if you can replicate the issue. Is there anything else I can provide to help troubleshoot the issue?
TIA,
John
Has this been removed in the recent release? When I try to configure input for a new device, I hold down a key on the KB and it is not recognized.
I understand that Recalbox has a default KB mapping but I like to use my own mapping for KB as I have been using it for a long time and very familiar with it.
Thanks,
John
I'd like this also as I think it would work best with the Next Pixel theme media mixes.
Same issue for me on HP Elitedesk 800 G1 (USFF):
lspci -vnn | grep -i net

Etehrnet works as expected. WiFi never connects.

First, unless I made a mistake you seem to use the old version ?
In latest 0.2 version conf.conf params for sets should be :
fba_libretro =
mame2010 =
mame2003 =not fbaSet, mame2010Set and mame2003Set like you have ?
Ooops...the link at the top of this thread still points to v0.1 and that is what I downloaded. I'll start over. 
TY for the other answers.
John
Some observations/questions...
I am using the FBA 0.2.97.44 DAT. My conf is as follows:
exportDir = E:\Downloads\BestArcade-0.1\BestArcade\MySet
fbaSet = Z:\ROMS\Arcade\FBA\FB Alpha 0.2.97.44 non-merged\roms
mame2010Set = Z:\ROMS\Arcade\MAME\MAME_2010_full_nonmerged_romsets\roms
mame2003Set = Z:\ROMS\Arcade\MAME\MAME_2003-Plus_Reference_Set_2018\roms
keepLevel=0
keepNotTested=0
exclusionType = STRICT
genreSubFolders=1
Do the CSVs in the data folder ever get refreshed? I noticed that the all have dates from July 2018.
If a ROM scores 3 for every emulator, does it use FBA as the default? (the question below is related)
64street has the same score (3) for all sets. It was copied only to the FBA folder.
Possible errors
ERROR 64street should be exported for mame2003
ERROR 64street should be exported for mame2010
If I set 'keepNotTested=1', the tool will keep a copy of the rom for the emulators that were not tested even if the other emulator has a score of '3'. Is this expected or could we put some more control around this (i.e. if one emulator has a high score do not copy to the other emulator folders)?
Great tool...thank you for creating it.
Request: Is it possible to only create CSVs without copying ROMs? I want to have the lists of best core per rom but plan on creating my own collections based on genre and will move ROMs manually.
Thanks
What does it do or control? (see bold below)
I'm particularly interested in MAME and FBA as they are the only ones that use 'arcade' for platform. All other systems have a 1-to-1 relationship between 'name', 'platform' and 'theme'.
<system>
<fullname>FinalBurn Alpha</fullname>
<name>fba_libretro</name>
<path>/recalbox/share/roms/fba_libretro</path>
<extension>.zip .ZIP .fba .FBA .7z .7Z</extension>
<command>python /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/emulatorlauncher.pyc %CONTROLLERSCONFIG% -system %SYSTEM% -rom %ROM% -emulator %EMULATOR% -core %CORE% -ratio %RATIO% %NETPLAY%</command>
<platform>arcade</platform>
<theme>fba_libretro</theme>
<emulators>
<emulator name="libretro">
<cores>
<core>fbalpha</core>
</cores>
</emulator>
</emulators>
</system>
@barbudreadmon You convinced me. I'm making this way more complicated than needs be. The reason I initially went down this path is because I was finding ROMs that ran much better on current MAME than on mame2003(+) or FBA. One that jumps to mind is Dragonball Z (dbz). Even on x64 emulation was slow even though it is listed as 'working'.
On current MAME it seemed to run full speed. That being said, maybe I was hallucinating...I'll check again.
@barbudreadmon Thanks for your response and I apologize...I should have been more specific. This would be an x64 system: HP EliteDesk G1 Mini (https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04266271 - core i7, 8GB, Intel HD 4600). This device runs Atomiswave/Naomi (Batocera) and CHD games flawlessly.
I would stick with Batocera but I prefer the stability and support that come with Recalbox. I also know that lr-reicast is in the pipeline.
My main question is about configuration (cfg files, etc.). Will I run into snags there? Are there updates in lr-mame that are not captured in the RA or lr-mame2003 cfgs?
John
I REALLY want to use current MAME.
If I put the root in RW and replaced the mame2003_libretro.so with the mame_libretro.so (and rename it) from buildbot, how well or bad would it work? Of course I would use ROMS from MAME 2.08 (current).
I plan on trying this anyway but figured I would ask.
John
Hi all.
I have just recently acquired a GRS bartop arcade and it has a USB encoder. I haven't taken it out yet to look at it but let's assume it is an iPAC.
What is the preferred method in Recalbox for connecting arcade sticks/buttons, GPIO or USB encoder?
Thx,
John

The issue with SNES .zip files being extracted into the rom folder and remaining there (as .sfc) still exists. This causes an issue as the next time the scraper is run, you get duplicate entries in your gamelist.
Workaround is to use uncompressed (.sfc) files.

@secamfr said in Recalbox 6 RC1 disponible !:
@johnodon Hello, all my atari 5200 roms run fine on RPI3/RC1, i use .bin instead .a52, can you test it with a rom in .bin ?
Do the roms need to be in native .bin format?
I renamed one of the .a52 roms to .bin and this time I just get a black screen (.a52 would come back to ES). When I exit out (hotkey+start), I still see the two errors shown above (first from stderr and second from stdout).
Maybe this is an x64 issue only?
V6.0RC1 x64
Atari 5200 roms are not launching (.a52 file format...also tested .zip)...returns to ES. I'm pretty certain that A5200 was working fine in the last beta but can't say for certain.
BIOS is not an issue. I have green check box for EVERY bios.
Here is the support file from a freshly imaged flash drive (no addons or config changes): https://file.ac/92wwlbYhqlY/
Please let me know if there is something else I can provide.

Seems that the Desmume core is missing...
I changed the default core to MelonDS and it works as expected.

I manually added the latest nightly Libretro Desmume core to /usr/lib/libretro (had to rename it to desmume_libretro.so as the new naming convention is desmume2015_libretro.so) and it is working as expected.
