Enjoy!!!!

Hello

Playing Zelda Ocarina of time 1.1 USA versión in the latest version of Recalbox overclocked 1345 using RICE and I've been hours and hours and hours playing with no bugs or issues GREAT!!!

BTW, I always wanted to play this game and I may say is the best game I've ever played. No matter any xbox one 360 or whatever game. This is the foundation of every 3D rpg game.

Did you try to disable the rewind setting? I had issues with some PCENGINE-CD because it was enabled. They were not running for ex Ginga Fukai @bichi

Youo can check the solution here https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/7481/yellow-writing-when-loading-rom/16

If you see yellow squares at the bottom then this means that Retroarch isn't loading a font.

You likely don't need to delete anything, just navigate to your Retroarch Config here: /recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/retroarchcustom.cfg

Then add this line to the Config: video_font_path = /storage/assets/xmb/retroactive/font.ttf

hello @rockaddicted

• Concerning the video volume. Yes I'm a computer Science engineer and i used to a developer. Per your suggestion, I downloaded the source code from git and I was doing reverse engineering. I see that the logic lives in S02Splash located at etc/init.d. I see that there is no volume switch either omxplayer nor ffplay. Adding the switch " --vol -yourvalue" to the line omx_opt="--adev both --no-keys --layer=10000 --aspect-mode=fill" will help to increase or reduce the volume (that's for rpis for other systems it's in another code block as it uses ffplay and the switch has to be -volume) . A new menu item in ES could be developed to read that switch and modify it.

• Concerning the video. I'm quite surprised about the answer (btw I didn't want to be mean) However Recalbox project enables and leverages the community to modify the theme but it seems that doesn't enable us to modify the video. I'm sorry but I don't understand.

• Concerning avoid deleting the video. Checking how recalbox deploys when it is installed or updated, it's needed a script to avoid smashing custom videos for checking the video size and date and if it's different than the default one, do not smash it.

• BTW If I want to contribute to the project, how can I do it? My Cpp knowledge is quite rusty and I'm better C# and Java developer. I also see that there is a lot of Python that I have no knowledge but I can learn.

THX

BTW, This is the code snippet of the file.

#code snippet code
do_omx_start ()
{
# odroid xu4 has not omxplayer, make it run this code make it flash
if [[ ! -f $video || ! -f /usr/bin/omxplayer ]]; then
return
fi

# Initialize dbus session

OMXPLAYER_DBUS_ADDR="/tmp/omxplayerdbus.root"
OMXPLAYER_DBUS_PID="/tmp/omxplayerdbus.root.pid"
exec 5> "$OMXPLAYER_DBUS_ADDR"
exec 6> "$OMXPLAYER_DBUS_PID"
dbus-daemon --fork --print-address 5 --print-pid 6 --session
until [ -s "$OMXPLAYER_DBUS_ADDR" ]; do
    echo "waiting for dbus address to appear" >&2
    sleep .2
done
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=`cat $OMXPLAYER_DBUS_ADDR`
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID=`cat $OMXPLAYER_DBUS_PID`
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID

# Launch the video
omx_fnt="--font=/usr/share/fonts/dejavu/DejaVuSans-BoldOblique.ttf"
omx_opt="--adev both --no-keys --layer=10000 --aspect-mode=fill"
omx_srt="--no-ghost-box --lines=1 --align=left $omx_fnt --font-size=20 --subtitles=/recalbox/system/resources/splash/recalboxintro.srt"
/usr/bin/omxplayer.bin $omx_opt $omx_srt $video &
PID=$!

@Shuu second option worked for me.

@azvarel THX SO MUCH. The issue was because of the rewind setting.... AFter disabling it, it worked. I can't believe it.

@martymcfly7 it's an awesome new!!! It's working only for rpi 0-3. I hope recalbox team can compile and use it in the distro.

@Substring I'm having issues with the overclock settings

Overclocked as the following parameter doesn't launch emulationstation (all my previous versions of recalbox worked fine with these settings)

Overclock

gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=512

avoid_safe_mode=1

kernel=zImage

NOOBS Auto-generated Settings:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
arm_freq=1345
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=575
force_turbo=0
over_voltage=4
over_voltage_sdram_p=6
over_voltage_sdram_i=4
over_voltage_sdram_c=4
gpu_freq=500
sdram_schmoo=0x02000020
v3d_freq=500
h264_freq=333
gpu_mem=256

Overclocked as follows, works fine but after playing dreamcast for 5 minutes and coming back to emulationstation crashes

It also crash after getting into netplay and doing hash configuration.

Overclock

gpu_mem_256=128
gpu_mem_512=256
gpu_mem_1024=512

I'm wondering if emulationstation update is too heavy...

@Bkg2k awesome!!!!!

@martymcfly7 it's an awesome new!!! It's working only for rpi 0-3. I hope recalbox team can compile and use it in the distro.

@Shuu second option worked for me.

@kelv it seems that I had the ini file open in the terminal and it was not properly saved. You can resolve it

Hello

I would like to edit /recalbox/share/system/configs/ppsspp/PSP/SYSTEM/ppsspp.ini and everytime that I edit it seems to be overwritten by /recalbox/share_init/system/configs/ppsspp/PSP/SYSTEM/ppsspp.ini

The only way that I saw to overite it is to change /recalbox/share_init/system/configs/ppsspp/PSP/SYSTEM/ppsspp.ini

but it make no sense to me because checking the source code the generation in Recalboxfiles.py and ppssppGenerator.py

seems that the file is created from scratch using the init share_one when there is no file

Am I right?

thx
I'm using REcalbox 6.1.1

Hello

After saving recalbox.conf vía Web Manager 2.2.3 at Recalbox 6.1.1. using rpi3b+, the sucessfull message has a typo. It states "El archivo a sido guardado." instead of saying "El archivo ha sido guardado."

Please, Can you fix it?

thx

@Bkg2k I have a question Please, is it possible to b*mp Scummvm to the lastest version 2.1.1 in order to have better performance on Blade runner? https://www.scummvm.org/news/20200131/

As far as I sse in gitlab the version that you are adding is 2.1.0

Thx!!!

Thanks for all the work!!! Eager to isntall the new version of Recalbox.

@Scavy thx ️

@Scavy thx, sure I won't. BTW, do you know if you are keeping rice filter in mupenplus in the next release? For me it's important as 3'm playing ocarina of time and in 6.1.1 and 3b+ is working awesome I don't want to use glide.

Thx
