Hi all!
Since all custom themes on Raspberry Pi are optimized for 720p it makes sense to force the system to run in 720p.
But what happens when my RGBDual arrives and I want to use it? Does the plug and play method still work or does the forced 720p interfere with it and I have to tinker to make it work? It would be great if someone could shed some light on this.
@olivierdroid92 thanks for the info. Glad to hear that this will be fixed in a future release 
Hi all
I'm running the latest Version (8.0) on a Raspberry Pi 4 and noticed that my favourite shader, namely crt-pi doesn't work anymore. I checked the forum and found a thread with a suggested fix:
Downloading shaders.tar.xz from /share_int/, unzipping it and moving all files to /share/shaders/
Well I did that and the crt-pi shader still doesn't work. All files are complete and where they belong. I restarted the system and also tried it on a completely fresh system. No luck.
Is there anything I can do or does someone know what's the problem with the shader?
I really would like to use the shader again 
@glascoyote-0 You have to click on the green button that says "Code" and then you can click on "download ZIP" on the menu that opens. I couldn't find it at first too.
@fagnerpc I have yet to try it out on my system, but from what I have seen here and on youtube I think your theme looks great! Great work!
@myst Thank you for your answer!
When I force Emulationstation to run in 720p, will I still be able to switch to CRT mode via my RGB-Pi cable or the RGBDual? Or does the "forced resolution" interfere with this?
Sadly this doesn't help. I already looked in the documentation and this is the place where I read that the buttons are switched.
It doesn't say how this can be fixed for some systems. As I said I can change the buttons in the Playstation, Mastersystem and Dreamcast retroarch Menu, but on NES, Megadrive and SNES this doens't work.
Would it be possible to use the 1080p version of the theme on a Raspberry Pi 4 with more than 1GB RAM? For example on a Pi 4 with 2GB? Or would I still have to use the 720p version? If this would work, I would think about buying the 2GB Version! I love the next pixel theme and since I want to emulate PSP, forcing the Pi to run in 720p isn't an option for me.
I did a little more testing and actually the remapping works on some systems.
The systems it works on are Playstation 1, Dreamcast and Mastersystem.
But on NES, SNES, and Mega Drive/Genesis the button remapping doesn't work.
Why?
Hi all!
I recently upgraded to a Pi4 and invested in a Mayflash Dolphin Bar to finally play lightgun shooter! This has been a dream of mine for a long time. Shooting with the Wiimote works as it should, but is boring without a "gun case". So I bought a Speedlink Mr. Smith . It has a Nunchuk integrated, I thought that would be pretty handy. But it isn't...
When I insert the Wiimote the Trigger stops working and I can't shoot with it anymore. Now I have to shoot by pressing the "A" Button on the Wiimote or by pressing the bottom of the pistol grip (I think this is the "Z" Button)
I searched in the Recalbox documentation and found out that the "A" and "B" buttons on the Wiimote get reversed if a Nunchuk is connected which explains my problem. Why does this happen?
I tried to remap the buttons in the Retroarch menu (Settings -> Input-> Port 1 Controls) but even after saving, it doesn't work.
Is there any way to remap the buttons and make the Wiimote act "normal" again? It's a shame that I can't use this cool controller
Is it possible to use the "next pixel mix" (images and videos) for the standard "next-theme" that comes with recalbox? Or does it only work with the next pixel theme?
Das Problem hatte ich anfangs auch.
Es gibt die Möglichkeit "threaded video" auf "true" zu stellen. Standardmäßig ist das ausgeschaltet, da es scheinbar zu Abstürzen mit manchen Emulatoren/cores führen kann.
Dazu musst du im Ordner in dem deine Gameboy Roms liegen eine Textdatei erstellen die folgendes enthält:
video_threaded = true
Die Datei nennst du dann in ".retroarch.cfg" um (ohne die Anführungszeichen aber mit dem Punkt am Anfang) und dann sollten die Spiele flüssiger laufen.
Es kann wie gesagt zu Abstürzen führen, und die Latenz kann auch darunter leiden.
Wenn du das ganze rückgängig machen möchtest, einfach die Datei wieder löschen
Hallo alle miteinander!
Da im internationalen Hilfe Bereich tote Hose ist, versuche ich es hier mal. Hätte ich wahrscheinlich von Anfang an tun sollen.
Nach 3 Jahren Abstinenz habe ich beschlossen meine Recalbox auf den neusten Stand zu bringen und sie wieder zu nutzen.
Habe das System frisch aufgesetzt und einzig und allein meine Roms und Saves übernommen. Die Bios Dateien habe ich mir neu besorgt.
Dazu habe ich mir auch ein MegaPi Case besorgt. Anfangs lief alles wunderbar, auch wenn ich den Safe Shutdown und den Reboot mittels PIN356ONOFFRESET in der recalbox.conf nicht zum Laufen bekommen habe. Wenn ich den Reboot Button kurz drücke, macht die Konsole einen Hard Reset, statt zB das Spiel neuzustarten oder das System.
Irgendwann fing meine Box dann zusätzlich noch an von selbst herunterzufahren. Inklusive der Bildschirmmeldung "don't shut off Recalbox". Leider erkenne ich kein Muster. Manchmal geht länger alles gut, dann fährt sie plötzlich schon 2 Minuten nach dem Start herunter. Teilweise wenn ich im Hauptmenü bin, teilweise im Spiel. Während ich die Medien vom Scrapen übertragen habe, hat sie sich mehrfach verabschiedet.
Ich weiß leider keine Lösung für die 2 Provleme. Eigentlich habe ich alles richtig und nach Anleitung gemacht.
Ich habe einen Raspberry Pi 3B und die neueste Recalbox Version 6.1.1 Dragonblaze
Meine recalbox.conf sieht wie folgt aus:

## NeoGeo emulator
## You can use pifba or a libretro core (fba2x,libretro)
neogeo.emulator=libretro
## If you set libretro as neogeo.emulator, the line below sets the retroarch core (fbneo, mame2000)
neogeo.core=fbneo
## N64 emulator is configured to display a screen with a 640x480 resolution (native n64 resolution)
## So you must use one of these video modes (DMT 4 HDMI,CEA 1 HDMI).
## If your screen is not compatible with one of these video modes, please check the recalbox's wiki.
n64.videomode=DMT 4 HDMI
## If you are using a CRT screen, please change the setting above with this one :
# n64.videomode=default
## Dreamcast emulator
## Like N64, such a CPU intensive emulator needs a small resolution
## Consider DMT 4 HDMI (640*480) or DMT 9 HDMI (800*600). If you have a black screen on dreamcast, try DMT 9 HDMI here
dreamcast.videomode=DMT 4 HDMI
## Demo screensaver parameters
## Include or exclude a particular system from the demo screensaver

Hello everyone!
I recently set up my Recalbox (Raspberry Pi 3B) wich I didn't use for about 3 years, and installed the newest version 6.1.1
Also I bought the Megapi-Case from Retroflag.
At first everything ran well, although I never got the safe shutdown and the reset to work (using the PIN356ONOFFRESET option). Every time I press the reset button, the system just hard resets, instead of resetting the current game.
The safe shutdown option is turned on inside the case.
Also after some time my Recalbox started to randomly shutdown itself (a proper shutdown with the warning "don't turn off system") I can't see any pattern. Sometimes it happens after 2 or 3 Minutes, sometimes it takes longer. It doesn't matter if I am ingame or in the menu.
I installed everything correctly and I don't know what to do. I just want to finally play my retro games again, without having to worry how long it will be ubtil I get interrupted
It would be great if anybody could help me!
Edit: I would upload my recalbox.conf but I don't know how
Super!
Edit: @lackyluuk Oh man. Wie unhöflich von mir. Ich kann und werde natürlich selbst mal nach meinen Tippfehlern suchen. Das meinte ich mit meiner Konzentration und meinem Kopf ... Kaum zu gebrauchen ... 
@lackyluuk that what @screech said! "Das was Screech gesagt hat"
Ich habe eigentlich gar keine Ahnung wie die ganze Github-Sache funktioniert. Ich hab die XML einfach mit Notepad++ geöffnet, losgelegt und @paradadf dann mein "Exemplar" geschickt.
Einfach einen Fehler korrigieren wenn du einen gefunden hast
Meine Konzentration lässt in letzter Zeit etwas zu wünschen übrig. Daher kann es gut sein dass ich was übersehen habe. Und manche Dinge waren auch nicht ganz zu verstehen, weil das Englisch noch nicht hunder pro ist. Ich hoffe ich habe den Sinn von allem so weit eingefangen
@screech So you do speak a few word's of german 
Then let's hope @lackyluuk won't find a mistake
