    • Virtual Keyboard

      I'd love to add a new feature to the recalbox manager (webserver). It's supposed to be similar to the virtual game pad. I'd like to have a virtual keyboard. As recalbox requires a keyboard from time to time and I don't want to place my keyboard next to my recalbox it would be great if I could just take my smartphone, open the manager and type a few letters.

      How about including Skyscraper. It's written for linux and combines many game DBs/websites.

      @Zing, I wan't mainly arguing but asking, what else I could do. Well, finally I found skyscraper that did the job for me.

    • RE: Netflix via Kodi

      Hey, hope you understand English. Because I don't speak any French.

      Check out SuperRepo. It is a repository containing a huge load of add-ons for Kodi. Also a few netflix add-ons. Check this link on how to install it and use it. Again: you need to speak English (or Dutch)...

    • RE: Stellt euch vor

      Ja ok. Ich denke, ich könnte mich hier auch mal vorstellen.

      Ich bin ein Informatik-Student und semiprofessioneller Musiker aus Deutschland.

      Wie ich zu Recalbox gekommen bin: Wir (WG) hatten erst Lakka (retroarch als OS) auf dem Pi. Das war schon ganz nice, hätte aber hier und da smoother sein können. Also haben wir weiter gesucht und sind auf Retropi gestoßen. Das war für mich gleich raus, als die lustigen ASCII Dialoge aufgegangen sind. Ihh bäh. Also wollten wir zurück auf Lakka wechseln. Da habe ich plötzlich beim Googlen Recalbox[1] gefunden. Also mal ausprobieren, dachten wir. Der Pi musste je eh platt gemacht werden. Und heiliger. Was eine UX. "Just works"-Software. Habe mich sofort verliebt. Endgeil.

      Warum Retrogaming? Oft, so finde ich, trifft auf Retrogames zu, dass sie sich, da sie mit schlechterer Grafik und weniger Rechenwumms auskommen müssen, mehr auf die wichtigen Dinge wie Charaktere, Gameplay, Storytelling etc. konzentrieren.

      Was kann ich?
      Ich bin top in Python und WebDev (JS, CSS, HTML). Von C/C++ und (Sys-)Adminkram bin ich weniger begeistert. Ich werde versuchen meine Fähigkeiten in dieses Projekt einzubringen, da meine Zeit hier gut aufgehoben ist, wie ich finde. Ich habe damit auch bereits begonnen: https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/3482/virtual-keyboard/8

      So viel zu mir. Ich bin sehr gespannt, wohin sich dieses jetzt schon mega geile Projekt entwickeln wird.

      [1] Kann mir jemand erklären, wie es zu diesem Namen kam?

    • Wiki is hard to navigate

      Hi,

      I just translated a few sentences in the wiki. I had to notice that it's quite hard to find a translated version of a specific page. Here is an of example what happened to me: I translated a whole page from EN to DE. I wanted to replace the links with DE pages (if existing). But I missed the existence of one page and started to translate it (even though a translation already existed).

      If you look a Wikipedia there is a link list in the side bar linking all translated versions of the page you're viewing. I think something like that would be a great feature for such a huge multi-language wiki as recalbox has. Maybe an external wiki could help as the GitHub wiki does not seem to have built-in option for that.

      Just an idea.

      Why is this marked as solved? This really sucks (no offense to the devs) and it should be fixed or an alternative should be proposed. Or is there really NOTHING that can be done about this?
