@redm

the whole controller setup is bugged out.
for my kids it gets pretty frustrating.
I don't remember this being a problem with 6/7.x

my issue had been that if you have 2 controllers plugged in, controller 2 gets set to player one in most of the emulators all the time, and you can only use (special+start) on controller one.
kids get so frustrated playing a game with controller 2 and they cant exit game
also confused that ps3 controller shows them theyre player 1 but they are playing with player 2. and 3 and 4 have same issues.

other issues with dolphin also, need keyboard plugged in, to be able to (speical+start) exit.
sometimes if i remember correctly keyboard will set itself as player one.

i can deal with it but the kids get confused and frustrated when im not around.

@akharecal
from what ive read before, dolphin configuration resets itself after a restart.
can you confirm the settings stick?

@foly12
I've had similar issues, my issues that 8.0/8.0.1 has some problem allocating controllers properly, it seems to be random at times.

controller 1 in menu does not set to controller one in game. same goes for all controllers, it seems to be random.
Ive noticed if you have a keyboard plugged in, a lot of the times the keyboard gets set to player one ingame and games just wont play unless you press start on the controller that it thinks its player 1 (keyboard).

another issue is only 1 controller can use hotkeys, and sometimes with 4 players on my system this gets very frustrating.

I would suggest. go to config file through the webmanager and go right to the end, delete all "pad0/pad1/pad...." and restart the box within manager. (unplug keyboard and controllers)

if you are only playing with 1 controller,
what probably is happening is your keyboard gets set to player 1 and controller to player 2.
once recallbox starts, plug in your joystick only and see if that works (no keyboard).

I have PC version

its frustrating, and I've yet to have it acknowledged that the controller (port) mapping is completely out of wack in 8.0+

@zing
weirdly enough,

the last 2 times we played for about 2 hours each the fan did spin at speed to be able to hear it.
which is weird because for about a week we played on 8.0.1 and every time it was high. maybe it fixed itself. not sure what happened there.

@zing hey, how can this only be a manager Bug when my PC fan has never in all previous version[censored] 100%. It is so loud and for such a long period of time. My kids play the system every day for 1-2h. The fan has never been at 100% until this update.

I updated in the main menu to 8.0.1 and now 1 core is always stuck at 100%, in menu or in any emulator. 8.0.2 does not show up as an update yet.

Ive never had fan run at 100% before, even emulating gamecube

Lenovo mini PC

Ive noticed this since my cpu fan is going full speed for 5min and then takes a break for about 3min

@zing
not sure how to send private message.

but on the FAQ you posted,
the (hot keys dont work with dolphin)

there may be a related issue, where, controller one gets set to player 2, and controller 2 gets set to player 1 in dolphin.

also, when having a keyboard plugged in, and 2 controllers, hotkeys work on one of the 2 controllers (in gamecube/wii) and you can exit with one of the 2 controllers

I believe the main issue is that:
only controller 1 in recalbox can use the hotkeys in all games/emulators at least on the PC version.
4 controllers plugged in and configures only controller 1 can use hotkey on all emulators.

i think all 3 of these issues are related. I would start with fixing hotkeys capability to all controllers and see if that fixes everything else.

@bryanmist08
i think i figured it out.

issue 1.
for some reason in 8.0 only the 1st player can use the hot keys. (at least in pc version)

issue 2.
for some reason controller 1 in recalbox gets set to port 2 in dolphin emulator.
and controller 2 gets set as player 1. (at least in pc version)

you can only exit with the proper controller.

the way i avoid it is, I plugged in a keyboard, and now "select+start" exit on at least one of the controllers. if it doesn't, at least i can do "Alt+f4" on the keyboard to exit.

@scavy he mentioned that the provided roms dont work.
Im guessing something with the install process went screwy.

i would redownload the image, and extract it first before burning again. see if that helps. then start the system, let it finish the whole process. try the default games then.

unless you are trying to flash this to a ssd/usb. thats a different bag of worms.

@paulska nvm
this is for single edits only.
still awesome that it gives option to delete orphan games. (like removing eu from your library)

Thanks again for the work.

@adelcampo
thanks man ill try it out.

I use Skrapper but that doesn't check if image for a particular rom has already been scraped. It just deletes everything and starts over.

Does this version of yours check for previously scrapped games? or at least check if image is already there?
or is it per game scraping?
thanks

I have 2 issues

1. I deleted a bunch of roms (multiple country versions) but they are there after every reboot.
   if i do a "update games list" they all disappear and list is proper. Then i reboot they all show up again, when loading, error pops up "cant find filename"

2. No matter how hard i try I can not "hotkey + start" get out of the dolphin emulator running gamecube/wii. Have to turn off the system after my kids are done or plug in a keyboard and hit "Alt +F4" multiple times

Would there be any reason gamelists are reversing them selves to previous versions.
This is getting really frustrating for my little kids that like to play on this system.

and how can you exit wii/game cube

any help appreciated

@pitch64

ill try that, and also try other games, maybe the config for whole dreamcast digital/analog is swapped in the final version. So possibly a mistake on their part which im guessing they would like to revert.

@bkg2k

not sure if i should ask you this here but

the issue of
"Dreamcast no longer runs off the joystick, you have to use the D-pad. playing marvel vs capcom is unbearable for my kids"
is persistent in the final version while playing Marvel vs capcom

weird thing is that SMK vs Capcom the joystick works.

Fresh install of 8.0

sometimes when unplugging a controller and plugging it back, it doesn't work.
Once this happens, any new controller plugged in will not work and you have to restart.
This issue also persists sometimes when the bluetooth controller gets disconnected for a second.

second issue.

Dreamcast no longer runs off the joystick, you have to use the D-pad. playing marvel vs capcom is unbearable for my kids.

I did an update from 7.2.2 to 8.0 beta

Im not sure where to post bugs ive found in the beta version.

@robotrecords
so when you connected it with a network cable do you see an ip address in recalbox?
lobby for netplay works?
do you know how to login to your router to check if the router gave it an IP address?

and your only issue is you cant access it through the computer?

just need a couple more details before people can help you out.

Network Problem solved.
Incase someone else can not get access to the shared recalbox folder. Found solution online from
link text

Basically RUN>gpedit.msc>Administrative Templates>Network>Lanman Workstation>Enable insecure guest logons>enable.

I am now able to see the network share.

This had been killing me for a while with windows 10 LTSC. Hope this helps someone out.

@ian57

okay i think it has to do with my computer and windows 10.
dont have other windows 10 machines to try it out.
i tried on windows 8 on my laptop to join ````\\192.168.1.9`` the ip of the recalbox and it went in fine.

scraper thing i will still try to figure out.
