Einstellungen wie zum Beispiel auf der recalbox.conf werden auch auf dem externen USB Stick gespeichert. Das kann dann unterschiedlich zu der recalbox.conf auf der SD Karte sein. Wenn du aber immer mit dem USB Stick bootest sollte das kein Problem sein. Einmal alles über den USB Stick einstellen.
Die recalbox.conf ist einmal zu finden auf der SD Karte unter /share/system, und auf dem USB Stick dann halt unter recalbox/system.

Was du auch machen könntest ist die recalbox.conf von der SD Karte einfach auf den USB Stick in den system Ordner zu kopieren und zu ersetzen, dann sollte alles übernommen sein.

Sowas wie themes, gamelists und andere Sachen werden übrigens auch auf der SD und auf dem USB jeweils zu finden sein. Also hier wenn du magst auch so halten dass es auf beiden gleich ist.

Does somebody have experience with handheld builds? I have seen this video:

Will recalbox work on it? They usually work with retropie, but i don't like retropie. So before buying something like that i want to know if everything will work fine with recalbox (screen, speakers, battery, volume wheel, buttons etc.)

@unik314r thanks for the info. I also thought of glueing a button in the inside, so the "switch" then just bounces back.
But i think i stay with the switch. I just really enjoy that satisfying click sound and feel of using that original switch.
Then i'll just have to shut down switching 3 times or using the menu command. At least i get no shut downs anymore when i plug in something to usb etc.

@unik314r but i have a power switch, not a button. My Reset trigger is a momentary button. for power i use a switch (i build my raspberry into a snes case)
and i use the system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET that was commented in the recalbox.conf.

And by the way, how and where can i find this script? And can i simply edit it?

@supernature2k so i got the new update.
Can you explain me how exactly the new power switch works? Reset button is i guess like 3 seconds of pressing down to reboot.
But i don't know exactly how the power switch works to turn off.
Turning on is simple, just switch it to on.
But turning off it seems i have to switch 3 times, but sometimes it does not work.
Is there a specific period of time i have to wait for the 3 times switching?

Thank you for that theme. I use the original one cause i didn't like the version 3.
Perfekt fit for my CRT TV and big game pictures

@supernature2k ok thanks i'll wait then. I tried to implement (i'm a noob xD) the script but it didn't seem to run, so i don't know yet if it works

@supernature2k i still get the power button triggered with pluging something into usb or audio jack and it shuts down. This only happens when the system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET script is enabled. So i was wondering if there is a new script for power and reset function since the new update

@supernature2k so i got the new update, but nothing changed. Or is it coming in the next update?
I didn't change the recalbox config, is there a new default one?

@supernature2k
couldn't get the script to work on startup. It just didn't do anything for me. I used this tutorial step by step https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-your-own-startup-script-(EN)

@supernature2k how do i implement that? I've never done that. Is here a tutorial for that in the forums?
And i'm curious about the network commands. Does power/reset only work if my wlan or lan is connected to my network?

@lackyluuk well, if i turn off the shutdown and reset scripts provided by the recalbox config, that issue dissappears. But i still want to use these buttons so i just have to wait and see if the next update can fix it

@supernature2k does this fix on/off switches too? Or just the momentary button (in my case reset)?

so i bought the cables, and unfortunately they didn't help. Bought one 1 meter long one and one cheap and short . Even used both together, no luck.
And even without using any hub, plugging in something into the original usb ports of the pi also triggers a shutdown.
Hell even when i plug another device (tried my ps4) to the power supply extension they both share, it shuts down xD

for the hub i couldn't find a fitting power supply, but i think it wouldn't change anything anyway.

Thanks for the help anyway, i'll have to avoid this issue by plugging in before booting and just live with that.
Even if its not recalbox related, maybe they can solve this some day. I mean only the shutdown command comes from recalbox, it's just the signals that are interfered with that current pike. Ignoring micro short signals (maybe) could help.

@lackyluuk it's powered by the usb. I think it has a port for a seperate power supply but can't find any fitting cable for that. I try to find out what type of cable i need and if the usb extension doesn't fix this i hope that i can find the cable to buy.

@lackyluuk ok i try to connect an usb extension cable between my usb hub and the pi (because the hub is already glued into place), i hope that works, thanks,

But what if i enable higher current for the usb outputs? wouldn't that avoid the sudden pike, because the needed current is there? I saw somewhere a function to enable it in the config file.

EDIT: Ok unfortunately the max_usb_current=1 command didn't change a thing. so i just buy one usb extension for between the hub and the pi. I report back after trying

well if they are really working on it right now, that would be so great. This would make my build almost perfect. I'm looking forward to it, especially now that the updates are more frequent

@lackyluuk ah ok.
I disabled the power and reset button function, and the shutdown problem dissappears. But after activating again the same issue

@lackyluuk so your custom script did work without this issue? Or is it just luck that it doesn't happen on your n64?
I don't have any experience in writing scripts like that, so i just used the predefined function

Hi,
i have a little problem with my custom snes. The on/off switch and the momentary resetbutton both work fine, but almost always (sometime it works) if i plug in something to the USB Port, LAN Port or audio jack, recalbox shuts down or resets (as if i pressed the button, but i didn't).

My hard-and software:

Raspberry Pi model:
3 B
Recalbox version (build) :
17.11.10
Hardware (Micro SD, Power Supply, etc.):
USB Hub, Snes controller to usb Adapter , micro SD Extension cable, Audiojack extension cable,
HDMI extension cable, LAN extension cable, Power supply 5V with 3.1 A max
Controller(s): SNES Controllers

So i basically build my pi 3 into the snes case, using an usb hub and extension cables for everything but the power supply. I soldered the corresponding pins from the snes to usb adapter to the board of the original snes controller ports. Now original snes controllers work, and even the power LED works .
Plugging Controllers into the snes ports works without problems, but if i want to plug in a usb controller, headphones, LAN cable or if i even just touch one of the mentioned ports with a needle, recalbox thinks (i think) that the GPIO pins were set to reset or power off and then shuts down or reboots.
I think that plugging something in causes a voltage peak vor a very short moment which sets the pins to 1, but thats just me assuming.
I can avoid the problem, if i plug in USB, LAN, headphones or anything else before i start the console. So booting up with everything plugged in works fine and doesn't make any problems, it only happens if i plug something in while recalbox is all booted up. So i can avoid this problem doing that, everything is fine and i could live with that
(because USB Controllers/Keyboards/Sticks are the only things i would plug in more often. LAN and Audio Jack for CRT TV, if i were to use them more often, would just be always plugged in before booting). But it's still a little bit annoying.

The only thing i changed in the recalbox config was uncommenting the line "system.power.switch=PIN356ONOFFRESET".

After rebooting every other commented lines dissappeared and the PIN356ONOFFRESET line duplicated for whatever reason: https://puu.sh/yjPmz/13593f5fd3.png
But i think thats normal since it works like it should

I already tried to seperate the gpio cables from all the extension cables to make sure they dont touch each other. But it didn't help even with a reasonable distance between them. So i don't think that this was the problem, isolating the pins i used didn't help either.

So if anybody can help me with that i would be grateful, thanks in advance.
