I know we already have Moonlight built-in on Recalbox, but this piece of software would also be awesome to have(if possible, of course).

For those who are unaware of the situation, Valve has recently killed Steam Link, their little hardware to steam PC games to your TV.

What nobody expected is that Valve would release a binary client that will replace Steam Link: Steam Link now in BETA on Raspberry Pi. They have even created a Raspberry specific forum.

I don't have the knowledge to implement this, but I will test the same way I did with Moonlight features

@gumafada
Lembre-se que aqui não é um fórum do BATOCERA. É um fórum do Recalbox. Busque no Google pelo site adequado.

@sevenx Yup.

It is how the default Steam app behaves: It open using big picture mode.

It is working, with 2 controllers paired both can navigate at the menus, however, I've faced some lag while browsing through the games, but that is another problem. Maybe i will need to buy a 5GHz Wireless NIC to my pc(Rpi3 is cabled to the router). But if i reduce quality to 720p and 30fps at the configuration, gameplay goes smooth.

I can even play PSX2 games that are not theoretically optimized to use the Nvidia streaming protocol.

And this is a big point to Recalbox: It recognized and added this psx2 bat i have on Windows as a game inside Moonlight menu

@rateixeira90 Fizeste instalação do zero ou pegaste uma imagem pronta da internet?

OK. Gotta get this thing working so, i've made a custom.sh for this.

1 - Create the /recalbox/share/system/custom.sh script
2 - Enable executable bit with chmod +x /recalbox/share/system/custom.sh
3 - vi /recalbox/share/system/custom.sh and paste the following contents on it:

#!/bin/bash
recallog "Custom.sh to handle cec-client tv standby"
case "$1" in
        stop)
                recallog "Turn off the TV"
                echo standby 0 | cec-client -s -d 1 &
        ;;
        *)
                recallog "Do nothing. custom.sh will only execute during shutdown"
esac
exit $?

@Bkg2k , @paradadf . What do you think of a specific daemon to deal with this and read a recalbox.conf parameter(something like global.video.autooff=1) ? I think i could do it

@dam Existe uma forma, mas requer que você primeiro dê boot por cartão passando um parâmetro program_usb_boot_mode=1 no /boot/config.txt. Feito isto, no próximo boot a OTP será escrita e o boot por usb será habilitado para sempre

NOTA: Este procedimento escreve permanentemente na OTP, e tal alteração não pode ser desfeita. Uma vez habilitado o boot por USB, o rpi3 não irá mais bootar por cartão.

@atilarox E pra complementar o que o @Zing já falou, quanto as boxarts, o scraper interno do Recalbox foi desabilitado por conta de problemas.

Sugiro que você use alguma solução externa de download de dados de jogos como o Skraper

@rateixeira90 Show de bola.

Este é o motivo porque evitamos dar suporte a imagens customizadas da internet aqui neste fórum. É muito difícil adivinhar quais são as modificações "por debaixo do capô".

Que bom que conseguiste encontrar a solução

Hi.

First of all: I know Recalbox devs are busy doing a great work voluntarily, and they can bluntly say NO to my request. No problem .

However, I would like to suggest a feature that could be very useful on cases like the 6.0 release where a fresh install is needed: Upload saves to Dropbox as a daemon.

There is a script called dropbox_uploader.sh that uses Dropbox access tokens to send files from Cli that could be used or used as reference. The feature i envision is something like having a dropbox.user=userofdropbox and dropbox.token=myAuthToken inside the recalbox.conf and all the magic of saving all content inside /recalbox/share/saves is done without further user interaction.

I know there are other options like hosting your games/saves on a samba share at home. Sending saves to Dropbox(and it could be Google Drive too) would be flexible enough for those who have their Recalboxes online with no other hosts/nas at home.

@picolo Hola amigo. Yo no hablo espanol, mas penso que você entenderá minhas instruções em Português:

Crie um arquivo m3u com a lista dos jogos. Exemplo: Strider Hiryuu (1992)(Capcom).m3u dentro do diretório(carpeta) de ROMs com a lista de arquivos/discos:

/Strider Hiryuu (1992)(Capcom)/Strider Hiryuu (1992)(Capcom)(Disk 1 of 3)(System).dim
/Strider Hiryuu (1992)(Capcom)/Strider Hiryuu (1992)(Capcom)(Disk 2 of 3)(Disk A).dim

Crie o diretório(carpeta) Strider Hiryuu (1992)(Capcom) dentro do diretório de ROMs do Sharp X68000, e coloque os discos dentro.

@franckdf Jovem.

Devido a grande quantidade de ROMs que você tem, eu sugeriria a utilização de gamelists estáticas.

Edita o teu recalbox.conf e seta o parâmetro emulationstation.gamelistonly=0

Isto fará com que apenas jogos que fazem parte de uma gamelist sejam exibidos pra você, e acelera bastante o processo de inicialização do Recalbox, especialmente em sistemas com muitos jogos.

@shs2002 Since you have cross-posted exactly this very question at the Odroid forums, have you at least tried the solution suggested by rooted user?

hwclock -w

By Free for non-commercial use, are you limited to licenses(MIT, Apache, 3-Clause BSD, etc) ?

I would suggest liberation sans, but they are far from covering all languages you have quoted. Here is the list of supported characters - http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/font/liberation_sans/list.htm - Using the search on your browser you will not find chinese or greek references for example.

Maybe Google Noto Sans? - https://github.com/googlei18n/noto-fonts/ . It's licensed OFL 1.1 and it have normal and condensed variations - https://www.google.com/get/noto/

@roboto , o outro detalhe é que, o Recalbox vem com o DosBOX, software que permite a emulação e execução de softwares mais antigos do sistema operacional DOS.

Ainda não há uma versão do Wine disponível para o Recalbox e placas ARM permitindo a emulação de softwares de Windows.

@icefox Hi.

I'm trying to make a "the very best of consoles" list of games to put on the bartop i'm making so, friends will not take to much time to select a game when they come to my house. Today, i have a 32GB card with plenty of ROMs and a MEGApi case, and i see that they lose too much time browsing for games they've never played. On my arcade, i want a single list to make things easy.

I'm thinking in the following solution: Mark ALL GAMES as favorite, and force Recalbox to stay inside the favorite gamelist with the following parameters:

### Select a system to show on boot (use rom directory name) (string)
emulationstation.selectedsystem=favorites
### Show the gamelist of the first or selected system on boot (0,1)
emulationstation.bootongamelist=1
### Disable system view ES will boot and show ONLY the first or selected system (0,1)
emulationstation.hidesystemview=1

As soon as i get some time, i'll test this solution with a spare sdcard i have.

Cheers

This theme is great.

I've tested it all night long (while not playing Thunder Force IV, of course ) and it's beautiful and responsive.

The only thing i can suggest as an improvement is: A smaller font inside gamelists.
