@cyrus_troy hi. I assume you have tried to inser the sd card into a PC to see if you can copy and make a backup of the ROM files?

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.

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?

I've just opened a pull request because I think my modification could be of interest for others as well.
I still have to test it, though.

Hi, I'd like to adjust share/system/.kodi/userdata/recalbox.xml to my needs. This file defines the game pad button mapping to Kodi controls. I have 2 questions:

1. Will it be overwritten by recalbox?
2. How to find out the IDs of the controller buttons?

This might be interesting.

Ok. I made it work now completely (including start and select buttons) by setting global.inputdriver=sdl2 in the config. Thus, this thread can be closed.

Finally!

By manually updating /etc/udev/rules.d/99-joysticks-exotics.rules to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/recalbox/recalbox-buildroot/master/board/recalbox/fsoverlay/etc/udev/rules.d/99-joysticks-exotics.rules I could make it work!

EDIT 1: The only thing that still does not work is the hotkey. I bindend select to be the hotkey (because HOME+SOME BUTTONS have a controller internal binding). Any ideas what could be the problem here?

EDIT 2: I just noticed that the start button of the controller also does not work.

Update: I can make it work using the controller in keyboard mode. But

• I don't want to change the keyboard bindings (just in case I mess up things I'd like to be able to fallback to a keyboard).
• The hotkey does not work inside the SNES-Emulator.

Strange: The controller does only reconnect if starting it in pairing mode (i.e. HOME+A) but not on normal power up (i.e. only HOME).

Thanks for the hint. The gamepad is already in gamepad mode. But how do I enter the config menu when I disconnect the keyboard? I can disconnect it on the screen that tells me to long press any button on my gamepad. But still the gamepad isn't recognized. Interestingly the home button and the media control buttons on the gamepad (if long pressed) trigger the keyboard config to pop up...

Hi,

I'm trying to make my Ipega 9021 bluetooth controller work. But I simply won't. I've seen that support for it has been added with 4.0.0-b4 (I'm running 4.0.2). My Bluetooth dongle is the CSL - V4.0 USB nano. I can pair the controller with my recalbox. But it won't pair automatically wenn turning the controller off and on again and I can't configure the controller as it's not recognized...

Any Ideas?

PS: I've seen two other posts in this forum on this, but the didn't help me...

Vllt. liegt das an Mupen? Hast du die ROM mal auf deinem PC mit Mupen standalone getestet?

Wegen Übertaktung: Ich habe hier einen RPi1 B stehen und den auf 1GHz hochgetaktet. Er ist in einem Gehäuse, nicht zusätzlich gekühlt (weder aktiv noch passiv) und 24/7 am laufen. Dennoch wird das Ding selbst im Sommer nicht heißer als 50-60°C. Sollte also keine Probleme machen...

(Somewhat disappointing) Update: I will give up on the hardware keyboard support. This is due to the fact that the mapping from JavaScript key codes to lingo key codes (what uinput uses which is used by the server) is ridiculously hard (if not even impossible) to do.

So I will sadly have to stick to the touch/click keyboard.

Here is just the tip of the iceberg: JavaScript key codes depend on the keyboard layout of the client while lingo's key codes don't. The will stay the same no matter what the system's keyboard layout looks like. So at least I would have to ask the client to tell me it's keyboard layout an have to have a mapping for every possible layout.

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)...

@CaffeineFiend: It is actually possible to add the roms directly with the SD card put into your PC but it's not a trivial task. You have to mount the right partition to make it work. Using the browser or the network share in your file browser is the much easier and preferable way to do it.

@CaffeineFiend: Did you put the SD card into your PC and copied the roms there? Because I think that /recalbox/share is a different partition that is being mounted on boot of recalbox. You better copy them via the network if you didn't do so anyway.

Oh I love you guys .! Always trying to improve everything. Keep up the great work!
