Hello

soluce by Bkg2k : https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/18829/6-1-et-manettes-gamecon/21

Hi acris, thanks for the quick help.

I followed the instructions of that thread, and now it works as always!

These are the posts that I followed (I used Google translator to help me with the French )

For those who want / can test:

• Get the recalbox_settings file here: > https://mega.nz/#!zNwXRSoQ!1y50jVuEF7rDZrRSC74zJCe7ZIaLJWiBpNPQJUjj4Oc
• Mount the partition in writing: mount -o remount,rw /
• Copy it to /usr/bin . To do this:
• If you are on linux: scp recalbox_settings root@recalbox.local:/usr/bin/
• If you are on Windows, copy it to \\recalbox\share , then connect to SSH, and type:
  cp /recalbox/share/recalbox_settings /usr/bin
  Restart your recalbox, and the GPIO mapping settings will be taken into account again

Paaarfait !!!
Everything is working now!
I specify for those who will try the manipulation, that it must first:

• mount your root partition in writing (attention !!!)
• back up your old file for security
• copy the new file provided by @ Bkg2k
• give the right to this new file
• reboot the recalbox

I do not specify how to do it, because that will not pose problems to those who know how to do, and will spare those who do not know to make a (big) co ** erie. For those here: be patient, the recalbox team is working hard to provide a fix as soon as possible!
Thank you again @ Bkg2k , do not hesitate if you need more tests!

The right file permissions are set with this command:
chmod 755 /usr/bin/recalbox_settings

Some years ago I saw this post: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=36505
I liked the project very much and I wanted to make a version of it.

I was able to get a broken SNES (no living console was hurt in this process) and other materials and I have a "1.0 version" of the project.

Some basic highlights:

• I setup a recalbox build with gamecon to connect real SNES controllers
• I used an HDMI cable extension and a SD card extension to have both cables and SD card plugged in the back of the console
• The power button (safely) shuts down de console
• The reset button exits games
• I preferred the Sega Megadrive colors (not Genesis) more than the SNES ones, so an amateur paint job was done
• I want to move the Pi board to an end, so that I can have a 1.1 version, where I can put a modified SNES cart where I can put USB inputs and maybe some DB9s, that way I can plug a keyboard or extra controllers.

I put some pictures of the process (I have more) and the "final" product:

Hope you like it!

Hi everyone,
Last week I updated recalbox to the 6.1 version.

My main gamepad is a SNES one, wired to the GPIO ports and configured with gamecon.
The configuration worked fine in the 6.0 version, but after the update, the controller is not detected in emulation station, and it is not listed when I put these commands in the shell:
cat /proc/bus/input/devices
ls /dev/input/js*

What can I try in order to solve this?

@paradadf said in Cannot upgrade version after a few months:

@rodri hi... it seems you‘ve missed our announcements and the fact that you can‘t upgrade from anything before version 6.0 (which is the current latest release). So you‘ll have to do a clean instsllation.

I thought something like that might have been the issue. Thanks!

@dam said in Cannot upgrade version after a few months:

Try to a new install, because the upgrade don´t work online.

Choose your hardware:

https://archive.recalbox.com/

Remember to backup your roms before to install a new version on sdcard to put again after.

Yes, thanks for the reminder, I have both the roms and the theme to backup. I was trying to avoid that, because everything is on the same SD card.

Hello everyone,

I have been looking for a solution to the issue I am having, but none seems to appear.
I have the 18.07.13 version and I cannot update it.

I found out how to run some scripts to know what the problem is:
bash -x /recalbox/scripts/upgrade/recalbox-upgrade.sh canupgrade

+ COMMAND=canupgrade
+ [[ -z canupgrade ]]
+ BINDIR=/recalbox/scripts/upgrade/
+ SYSTEMSETTINGS='python /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/settings/recalboxSettings.pyc'
+ RECALBOX_SYSTEM_DIR=/recalbox/share/system
++ cat /recalbox/recalbox.version
+ INSTALLED_VERSION=18.07.13
++ cat /recalbox/recalbox.arch
+ ARCH=rpi3
++ python /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/settings/recalboxSettings.pyc -command load -key updates.type
+ UPGRADETYPE=stable
+ SERVICE_URL=https://recaleur-archive-prod.recalbox.com:9443
++ /recalbox/scripts/upgrade//../system/uuid.sh --uuid-file /recalbox/share/system/uuid

+ '[' canupgrade == canupgrade ']'
+ [[ stable == \s\t\a\b\l\e ]]
+ /recalbox/scripts/upgrade//recalbox-canupgrade.sh --from-version 18.07.13 --service-url https://recaleur-archive-prod.recalbox.com:9443 --arch rpi3 --uuid eecaedf4-1b47-42cf-9343-d43ff68c3319
curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host 'recaleur-archive-prod.recalbox.com'
+ exit 6

If I try to enter the site http://recaleur-archive-prod.recalbox.com/ is not available.

I saw that some people ran into the same trouble before. But I wonder if something changed between versions or if I have a bad configuration.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
