@myst Thanks once again!

is there any chance to do a (even) light(er) version? still having issues sometimes when i exit games, rating graphics and backgrounds have to reload and this takes time. sometimes there are glitches (white boxes instead of rating graphics for example while loading)
on the other hand, i don‘t unterstand why this even happens at all in technical point of view... because holding some static graphics in ram can‘t be such a big deal for the pi?!
maybe it‘s an issue of emulationstation? hope in this case it will be fixed in next version of recalbox.
currently i can‘t test in latest february beta, cause preparing for vacation. i‘ll check in about 2 weeks :)

Google translator loses a lot of information for non-french speakers like me, but I don't want to start another "international thread discussion" here...

Without completely understanding the whole discussion I want to participate and tell you my experience:
8Bitdo SF30 Pro controller works fine in switch-mode (Start + Y) on xmas-beta and Pi3 B+' internal bluetooth here.
I use Start+Y, because in this mode the controller shuts down as soon I shut down recalbox. - Like also Sony DualShock 4 controller does by default.
Also 8Bitdo G. Bros adapter works perfectly in switch-mode.
In conclusion: No issues here. And I guess there will also be no issues in Android mode (like @Scavy said)

I just have troubles with these 2 recent 8Bitdo controllers (in ANY mode) with latest recalbox stable + CSR-based bt dongle + Pi3 B.
But that's another story :) Anyway, this is just the main reason why I'm really looking forward for the final Pi3 B+ version, where I dont't need the bt dongle anymore. Beside 5G wifi and maybe a bit more performance. Not so into having more emulators, just looking for support for the better hardware :)

@myst great, thanks!!! :)

@myst
I‘ve reduced systems already, going for quality instead of quantity. I‘m on 21 now and 720p is ok so far.
Further I changed switching between systems from „slide“ to „instant“ in recalbox ui settings. Sliding seems to cost much performance, even in default next theme, in instand mode it‘s quite smooth.

@myst said in Next Pixel theme:

@lhari84

compressed 1080p backgrounds for performance optimization on Pi3
(because quality still looks better than 720p version and images are smaller)

Memory footprint is a matter of resolution not compression, compressing an image may just lead to more time injecting it into graphics GPU but of course you'll save some disk space.

You're right, file size seems not to matter at all. Switched to 720p again and Emulationsstation seems to run smoother.

@abunille Thanks, solution 1.) works great!

@abunille Seems to work, thanks. Now I have another problem:
No matter what I change (tried all regions, etc.), Skraper will not find some games at all. It's only a few, so it would be no problem at all adding metadata in gamelist.xml for those manually, BUT:
I'd like to have same picture style for all games (screenshot + system,...) and it seems it's not possible to download the png-files at screenscraper.fr directly, even not with registered account and even though these graphics seem to exist there for missing games! Any ideas?

@bkg2k Hi, is there any option to scrape (skrape) only games that haven't any metadata yet?

Example:
Skraper is finished but some games have not been detected. So I want to do another run for missing games ONLY with changed program settings.

In Emulationstation Scraper this setting exists, unfortunately could not find it in Skraper.

Thanks!

@harko Thanks for info, sounds good. I will try it by uncommenting in recalbox.conf next time I do a fresh installation (instead of using Retroflag's script)

@harko

PS : with the new Christmas Beta, Superpi Case's swithes are working fine natively, without Retroflag scripts ;-)

Really? I had to install the script as usual to get it working... (https://github.com/RetroFlag/retroflag-picase)
