Sup Devs, how are you doing? First of all, thanks for your hard work on Recalbox.

Let me explain why i'm asking this: Got a new little brother (adoption) at my parents house(yaaaay), and now i have 2 brothers. They are aged 10 and 13.

They like retrogaming a lot with Recalbox and whenever i travel to my parents' house, i go with my Rpi. However, they dislike when they have to share in-game saves and save states. Thus, my request: Make user sessions on EmulationStation, and isolate the following aspects to each user:

• In-game saves and save states
• Themes (maybe)
• Retroachievements credentials

Other aspects like network/wi-fi configuration, ROMs and controller config should be fine if they remain shared.

@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.

@shs2002 Just for double-checking, have you set system.timezone=Asia/Seoul on your recalbox.conf file?

Cheers.

@rato_de_moco Se você quer ajuda com o Batocera é melhor pedir no fórum do Batocera...

@alerson-jorge Sim, a quantidade de RAM eu notei, e foi o que usei como base pra constatar que não era um Raspberry(já que você não falou que plataforma estava usando)

Dê mais detalhes sobre o seu processador, placa-mãe e memória. Podem ser drivers faltando.

@robson-jose Jogo Diablo, Gauntlet e THPS2 com frequência no RPI e não tive problemas com saves do videogame(memory card).

Sugiro você trocar de cartão de memória.

@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

Poderia dar mais detalhes do seu hardware? Instalou o Recalbox versão pra PC?

Imagino que seja isto já que você tem mais de 1GB de RAM disponível.

Abraço!

@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

@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.

@voljega What a good day to see the rain...

...the rain of topics of people asking for pi4 support. kek

@sorento Entendeu bem.

Infelizmente há uma discrepância entre os drivers de controles oficiais do PS3 e seus clones(Gasia, Shanwan) e por conta disto, é melhor deixar tal funcionalidade desabilitada através de patch(significa: o software foi modificado para que isto fique permanentemente desabilitado).

@jrbaka , Not only you but to everyone who still posts on this thread, maybe it's time to follow Screech tips that are posted on UXS Github: https://github.com/Universal-Rom-Tools/Universal-XML-Scraper

Hi guys (and girls), After a lot's of health problem I cannot continue to work on UXS. We just corrected the recent error and it will work now

But Seriously, I think you can easily migrate to Skraper ( https://www.skraper.net/ ) better support and much more nice code ^^

Thank you very much all of you for your support,

Sincerly,

Screech.

This software isn't maintained anymore, and the owner already expressed his feelings about it so, try to use Skraper instead as suggested by him

If you still uses UXS and you are facing a problem, you are on your own...

I'm now a 3B+ user, and i can say this release is awesome. Everything runs clean and smooth, MegaPI case working with latching on/off switch, and found a performance gain on some N64 games. Yay. Only minor issues i had:

• ES crashes if you try to pair a bluetooth device with Wifi disabled. It was a honest mistake right after trying to pair a device on a fresh image install. Maybe a warning that wifi needs to be enable when you try to pair through ES would do the trick
• When using 2 usb Xbox 360 gamepads, and turning on a 3rd PS3 bluetooth controller(already paired), the PS3 controller gets recognized as player 3(and the controller index lights indicate so), but as soon as i select a game, it gets remaped/reindexed as player 1.
• If I configure ES to use static gamelist.xml only to improve load performance(and since i add romsets once), ES will crash.

I can provide further logs if needed

@bloodsurfer Good catch. Couldn't find that thread with the keywords i was using.

Anyway, having this integrated with recalbox.conf could be a good feature to have

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.

@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

@bkg2k said in [Theme] Clean Retro:

@nwildner gpu_mem_1024=384 is the default value in latest beta version, and will be in the next release.

Yeah, i saw that on Gitlab

Since the theme creators can't post things here due to copyright issues, and i don't really think they want abandon the 1080p resolution on their theme, guess i'll have to stick with other themes.

@tarraske @nico-irano @sheyk90

Found a good solution to all problems with this theme. Every time i tried to exit a game, a black screen happend(and ES got killed). If i set gpu_mem_1024=384 or lower, white artifacts started to happen instead of loading background/system title/ whatever images.

If gpu_mem_1024=512 was set, EmulationStation would be killed by Linux Out of Memory management, since there was not RAM enough

Solution to make this theme work:

• Set gpu_mem_1024=448 on /boot/config.txt (64+128+256)
• Set overclocking to 1300 inside EmulationStation (i have a MEGApi case and this, a working fan)
• Reclaim some extra memory by disabling web manager, recalbox api and Samba share. DON'T do this if you are using a system where you are putting roms or tinkering constantly. Edit /recalbox/share/system/recalbox.conf with the following parameters: system.samba.enabled=0, system.api.enabled=0 and system.manager.enabled=0
• Set static gamelists through the interface. Again, you should have a good rom list aready working cause new games will not be dinamically included.

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.
