Thanks.
I could that do anyway in the past.
Does this that the web manager BIOS management is removed?

Hi
Earlier, I could check my BIOS files if there are missing or some with wrong checksum as well as the installed with the correct checksum.
Now, I can't find this settings in the webmanager. Was it removed, or did I oversee something (new)?
Kind regards
Roman
Perfect - worked!
Thanks
Thanks.
Is there a way to get the "missing" games quick afterwards - without new installation and without searching the ROMs elsewhere?
Hi
I've just updated my Recalbox from v7.0.1 to v7.1.1 - update worked fine.
But what I wonder; is an update within a major version (actually 7.x.x) really the same as a new installation from scratch?
In the release notes of v7.1.0 you can read:
"... Add 4 MAME games from the '80"
As expected, I didn't get this 4 MAME games through the update (at least in the MAME folder)? If I would do a fresh install - I would get it.
Am I wrong? If not; are there even more diffenrences between an update and a new install? Is that described somewhere?
Thanks a lot - Recalbox is great!

Roman
Hi there
I've really not as much knowledge as much others here. But what I notice is, that MAME often raises questions. So do I have questions.
I very often read that Mame 0.78 is very old and somehow "outdated". I don't know. But if so, why does the Recalbox team stay on this "outdated" version? There may be for sure a reason, right?
In the Readme.txt file the the roms\mame folder one can read:
Recalbox is using libretro mame2003 as default core. So, compatible roms must come from a 0.78 mame romset
Are also included in Recalbox:
- libretro core mame2000: 0.37b5 mame romset
- libretro core mame2010 (not available on rpi0/1): 0.139 mame romset
- libretro core mame2015 0.160 mame romset
- librerto core mame 0.219 mame romset
- standalone emulator advancemame: 0.106 mame romset
So, if you want to use a core different of the default one, you must edit your recalbox.conf file following instructions of this page:
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/recalbox.conf-%28EN%29
But, for a beginner, that makes not everything clear at all, because the provided link how to change to a different core doesn't work anymore - probably due to the rebuild of the Wiki pages.
I know so far, that I can edit the recalbox.conf file to do this job. Probably I have to insert a statement like mame.core= but which value I have to assign for e.g. Mame 0.219 is not clear. As well as if I need to add further statements.
I researched really a lot how to alter the default Mame core - and did find only fragments of the whole part. I just don't know if I get any advantages at all if I use a newer Mame version? All together is somehow confusing.
Is anyone willing to clearify this Mame issue - not only for me, but for other beginners - and maybe in a language beginners can understand?
Regards
Roman
Thanks a lot.
Didn't even see, that there exists a separated tutorial aside to the documantion...
Hi
As I see, the Wiki pages have moved. But have they moved all?
For example, in the old Wiki, there was a detailed desciption how to connect Arcade controlls and buttons to the GPIO of the Raspberry.
Where ever I search in the new Wiki, the best I can find is this:
Where is this description gone?
Regards
Thanks for clarification.
It's a bit confusing, since this BIOS was regarded as correct all the days before...
Since I couldn't edit my previous post anymore, here an additional information.
The new BIOS check feature of Recalbox 7 itself doesn't complain about this "scph101.bin" file.
So it seams (for me) to be quite sure; this could/must be a bug.
Hello
Eventually, I got all BIOS files for Recalbox 7.0.1 - my BIOS library is 100 complet. But all of a sudden, I noticed that Recalbox complains on one, single BIOS - just since today!? The last time I checked the BIOS section, I sure all BIOS very complet and with correct MD5 checksum.
Look at my screenshot; it shows the MD5 checksum file of my "scph101.bin" file which I copied to the Recalbox. I've double checked it several times. The BIOS "scph101.bin" which I copied to the bios folder has for sure the same MD5 as requested - nevertheless Recalbox complains about the checksum???
I noticed that Recalbox displays every BIOS checksum in lower letters, except this one. Could it be, that Recalbox compairs the MD5 somehwo case sesitive?

Hi
Today, I noticed that I can't save states in Prboom (Doom) anymore? I get a yellow message in the left, lower corner "core does not support save states".
Some weeks ago this was working for sure. I think I'm crazy. What the hell did I do wrong?
Regards
Roman
Update: Sorry, I'm really getting old; it was Wolfenstein where I could save states...
I would like to delete this post, but it's too late.
Sorry again, my fault.
Supplement / clarification:
When I say that you get Recalbox running on a Pimoroni Picade with my provided procedure, then I mean that:
Although you can (after appending my procedure above) configure the controlls in the Recalbox menu without problems, the hotkey button for example does for unknown reasons not work in all emulators (maybe somebody in this forum can imagine why?), even there are no other USB-Controllers connected.
But since many non-MAME games anyway need often more then the few Arcade buttons, I play them with an additional controller, like the Xbox360 USB controller.
If you want to be sure your Arcade cabinet controlls / buttons are fully supported (including the Hotkey button) in all emulators, you can alternatively connect your controlls directly to the GPIO pins of your Pi but leave the Picade PCB connected and use it only for volume control purposes.

Hi
Two years ago I bought the Pimoroni Picade (1st version) Arcade cabinet. It's slighty bigger than the current, 2nd version, has a 800x600 pixel display and a Pimoroni Picade PCB extension board - and I got Recalbox running without any troubles.
A few weeks ago I replaced it with the Pimoroni Picade (2nd version) Arcade cabinet. It's slightly smaller than the old, 1st version, has a 1024x768 pixel display and a new Picade X Hat extension board - and I didn't get it running at all!
The reason why Recalbox on the new Picade does not work is because the "Picade X Hat" extension board needs to have a driver installed. That's no problem with RetroPie, but it's NOT an easy thing with Recalbox, if it is even possible.
So I thougth I simply order the old Picade PCB and replace the new Picade X Hat. But I learned that even with the Picade PCB installed, I didn't get Recalbox running, because I didn't get the controlls (joystick and buttons) configured.
So I contacted the friendly guys from Pimoroni; and they had the solution for me - and for everyone else!:
It's the firmware of the Picade PCB which is now (obviousely) newer then the firmware shipped with the PCB 2 years ago. But Pimoroni provides the previous firmware on it's Github channel.
As soon I flashed the firmware "picade_original.hex" to my Picade PCB, all troubles vanished. Now it's again possible to configure the joystick and controlls/buttons within the Recalbox configuration dialog wizard.
The Picade PCB is an Arduino compatible board and fully corresponds to an Arduino Leonardo (ATmega32U4 AVR). The provided firmware is in Intel Hex format (*.hex) and can be flashed with "avrdude" quite easily. You will need a avrdude supported programmer (like the AVRISPmkII). I'm not sure if it's possible to flash a *.hex file within the Arduino IDE to the board.
The guy from Pimoroni additionally mentioned that the other provided firmware "picade_gamepad.hex" should work as well, because this firmware emulates a standard gamepad. I've never tried out this solution, but if anybody does, let me know how it works!
I hope I could describe the way to get Recalbox running on a (every!) Picade. Excuse me bad english, it's not my native language.
If anybode needs additional help, please contact me.

Well, I've now a general procedure to get Recalbox running on a Pimoroni Picade.
Because I think this could be a valueable information, I decided to finish this thread and to open a new and fresh one. So nobody has to read through all the posts in this thread to come to the solution.
Hi
This how-to explains quite exact, how to add a Power-Button to the Raspi:
https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN)
I've read the article two or three times, but one thing I do not understand:
Can I use exactly a momentary switch as a Start/Stop-Button and a Power-LED - nothing more, nothing less and nothing else?
For me, it seems, that as soon I want to use a Power-LED, I have to use a latching switch for Start/Stop-Button, right?
@voljega said in Keyboard config: cannot hit "OK"?:
...
And anyway I will support only 6 buttons + start +select + hotkey, no more than that.
...
To understand you right; I can now configure the joystick and 7 buttons: A, B, X, Y, START, SELECT, HOTKEY - no more. I'm slightly confused that you write "...6 buttons + start +select + hotkey" that's all in all 9 buttons (joystick not countet)?
Will find out now the shortest, easiest possible procedure (for appleying the Pimoroni PCB) und post it here for you / all users respectively.
If there emerge additional questions or issues, I hope I can count on your valueable hints.
Thank you so far.
Sorry, sometimes you are so absorbed in a problem that you overlook the simplest things. Maybe this has happened to you at some point - that does not always have anything to do with laziness.
Anyway, thank you for the hint.
