Hello I noticed that 8.1 is now released and there was a feature for GPi Case 2 support but there is no new image for GPi case 2. Will there be a standalone image for GPi case 2? Thanks.

Hi, I'm using GPi case 1 with Pi Zero 2 W on Recalbox 8.0.1. I find that almost all themes do not play the video in the game list. Only audio is played. The only theme that seems to play the video is GOA2 theme, the bundled GPiCase and NEXT themes don't play the video. I tried other themes and they behave the same. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

I found the problem, the .bin files were added in gamelist.xml. I checked from where I copied from, my external HDD, and it does NOT have these entries, so these must have been added by Recalbox.

So I have the new systems added and they show up in ES. But I have a problem with bin files showing up in the game list:

This is my new system:

<system uuid="9918b675-22c2-4448-8880-9870f801bf50" name="megadrive" fullname="Sega Megadrive MSU" platforms="megadrive">
  <descriptor path="%ROOT%/msu-md" theme="megadrive" extensions=".md .smd .68k .mdx .gen .7z .zip" icon="$F26b"/>
  <scraper screenscraper="1"/>
  <properties type="console" pad="mandatory" keyboard="no" mouse="no" lightgun="recommended" releasedate="1988-10" retroachievements="1"/>
  <emulatorList>
    <emulator name="libretro">
      <core name="genesisplusgx" priority="2" extensions=".68k .mdx .gen .md .smd .zip .7z" netplay="1" compatibility="high" speed="high"/>
    </emulator>
  </emulatorList>
</system>

You can see that I don't have the .bin extension, but .bin files (each game contains .md .cue and .bin) still shows up in the game list.
Any idea where I should look to remove .bin from game list?

@zing Thanks for the link, I did go through this but this didn't mention UUID at all, in fact it says only modify 3 of the fields:

So, to create a new system, the easiest way is to start from an existing system (and corresponding to the roms you want to include) and to modify only what is strictly necessary:

"fullname" : Allows to give the name of the new system.
"path" : Allows to indicate the directory containing the roms of the new system.
"theme" : Allows you to indicate which theme to use. It is necessary, beforehand, to create this new theme (logo, background, ...)

Especially this part All the other entries must not be modified. But I do have to change the UUID, in my case I just increased the Hex by 1 and that allowed it to show up in the system lists.

@bkg2k But how do you generate the UUID? Or it can be anything (that's not used)?

@zing Thank you! That explains why I couldn't find anything when I searched

I'm running Recalbox 8 on GPi Case 2 and trying to add couple of new systems, MSU-MD and SNES MSU1. I have this inside /recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation/systemlist.xml (I also tried naming this es_systems.cfg)

<system name="msu-md" fullname="Sega Genesis MSU" platforms="msu-md">
  <descriptor path="%ROOT%/msu-md" theme="megadrive" extensions=".md .smd .68k .bin .mdx .gen .7z .zip" icon="$F26b"/>
  <scraper screenscraper="1"/>
  <properties type="console" pad="mandatory" keyboard="no" mouse="no" lightgun="recommended" releasedate="1988-10" retroachievements="1"/>

    <emulator name="libretro">
      <core name="genesisplusgx" priority="2" extensions=".68k .mdx .bin .gen .md .smd .zip .7z" netplay="1" compatibility="high" speed="high"/>
    </emulator>
  </emulatorList>
</system>
<system name="snes-msu" fullname="Super NES MSU-1" platforms="snes">

    </emulator>
  </emulatorList>
</system>

They do not appear in EmulationStation. I copied from share_init from snes and megadrive but removed the uuid. Is it something wrong with the xml file?

PPSSPP appears to load in my GPi Case 2 running Recalbox 8. I can hear sound and it seems to respond to key presses, but only a black screen. I can press Hotkey+B, but only a mouse cursor appears at the top level corner. Any ideas?

@retroplayer88 I'm not sure if this is RC specific, but for RA, you have to close content first before you can save system wide config.
