Salut Outlaw77230!
Question bête tu as essayé déjà de remplacer ton ISO de jeu par un .cue et un .bin, en restant avec le core et les paramètres de base? Avec moi les iso de jeux nec cd ont jamais marchés et j'ai dû tout convertir à ce format... Pour la conversion y'a un tuto sur le fofo, tu as juste besoin de monter en disque virtuel via daemon tools lite en prenant soin de bien choisir le fichier .cue qui va avec ton ISO, puis d'utiliser imgburn pour créer les fichiers vue et bin.
Test et dit nous si ça marche désormais pour toi et si oui ba faudra tout convertir...

Édit: voilà le lien du tuto

Oui Acris! En effet, mon téléphone s'est éteint alors que je finissait de le taper et de le modifier... Mais bon là c'est bon, enjoy!

PS: le téléphone c'est parce que le PC a cramé hier soir suite aux orages...

Bonjours à tous!
Je voulais ici aider la communauté des possesseurs de C2 qui pourraient rencontrer certains problèmes, en donnant les solutions que j'ai pu trouver ici et là. Merci à Substring, Paradadf, Regalia et aux autres qui se reconnaîtront!
Voici une liste de soucis que vous pourrez rencontrer à l'heure actuel, et le moyen de le régler... Enjoy!

-Les jeux Méga CD ne se lancent pas, retour au menu après un écran noir: Pas de crainte, le core de base pose soucis, il suffit d'aller dans "menu principal", puis "paramètres avancés", "configuration de l'emulateur", et sur Sega CD changer l'emulateur "default" par celui "libretro" puis le core par "genesisplusgx".

-Plus de son dans les jeux ou le menu:
Il s'agis ici d'un soucis avec la norme CEC et le HDMI suite à la baisse du son sur le téléviseur. Pour corriger le problème il suffit d'aller dans "option du son", puis de choisir pour la sortie audio "Odroid -HDMI" au lieu de "auto".

-Le Sega 32x a disparue: Il va falloir prendre son mal en patience, suite à un soucis sur le core avec cette release, le core a été momentanément désactivé, il va falloir attendre la prochaine release.

Et voilà! En espérant aider ceux qui pourraient rencontrer ces soucis, n'hésitez pas à me le dire si il y a besoin de modifications ou d'ajouts.

Heu les gars! Joie et bonne humeur, on est là pour aider à résoudre un problème...

Bref on reviens sur le problème de base... Pour mémoire, j'avais déjà eu un problème similaire il y a longtemps, avec une carte mémoire foireuse et un adaptateur plus très frais. Je pense que l'un des 2 pose ici problème dans ton cas. Avant de passer par la case Etcher, je te conseille de passer par un premier programme pour tester ta carte, sdformatter, installe le programme, choisis ta carte SD et va dans les options. Dedans, tu as format size adjustement, tu le passe sur On, et tu formate le tout. Regarde à nouveau si tu as une partition bizarre qui a été créé ou pas. Si tout est bon, c'est que ta carte avait un soucis et que la taille réel de la carte ne correspondait pas au théorique, d'où tes soucis. Si tu as encore des problèmes après ça il y a des chances que ça soit ton adaptateur micro sd vers USB ou vers SD normal qui est pas correct. Remplace le simplement pour faire le test (perso j'en avait 3 mais yen a que 1 qui m'a pas posé de problème, les autres étaient trop vieux). Test d'abord la carte, puis ton adaptateur, et reviens ici pour nous donner le résultat!

PS: pour ceux que ça intéresse dans mon cas la carte micro sd acheté sur le net n'avait en réalité pas la bonne taille, y'a des p'tits malin qui boost faussement la taille des cartes pour les vendre plus cher, heureusement sdformatter à permis à la carte de retrouver sa taille réel, car avant ce bidouillage causait pas mal de soucis. J'ai ensuite enchaîné avec un adaptateur foireux qui m'empêchait de graver correctement avec etcher mon image, et créait d'étranges partitions... Un changement ou deux plus tard de l'adaptateur, puis plus de soucis. Apparemment les vieux adaptateurs ne supportent pas les vitesses des cartes actuelles et ne parviennent pas à suivre, d'où les problèmes lors de l'écriture...

Petite question: Je suppose que "recalbox" est aussi le nom de ta clé USB, non?
Quand la clé était branché avant le reboot, ta clé etait reconnu puisque tu as eu le nom "recalbox" qui est apparu dans le menu...

Bizarre, c'est aussi ce qui vient de m'arriver ce week-end, avec un disque dure branché en usb sur mon C2, avec recalbox en 18.04.20.
Disque dur plus pris en compte sous recalbox, heureusement j'ai pu le récupérer sur le pc, mais obligé de passer par la case formatage.
Déjà, il n’était parfois pas pris systématiquement en compte après démarrage, mais au bout de 2-3 fois plus rien...

Hi!
Upgraded from 18.03.30 to 18.04.20 on Odroid C2, also did a fresh install but both has the sega 32X disappeared on the menu (and yes, i do have the romsinstalled on the correct folder), it's also not there on the core selection menu of the emulators.
In fact, the folder is not event there on the install (i still have it because i have my roms stored on an external hdd.
Can we hope to have this patched for the next release? The mega CD is also broken with the pre-installed core, have to manually swap it to genesisplusgx to fix the problem and be able to launch a game...
It would be also great to have the psx and n64 fixed, the lakka cores for those work like a charm on the C2 (you can see the video i created for another topic here:
https://youtu.be/hKv1HhCOmYI ). Like i say in this topic (https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/13595/odroid-c2-psx-stuttering-choppy-and-sega-cd-iso-issue/31 ) the cores used on lakka are perfect on the C2, here's the info on them:

Do you think it would be possible to have them on Recalbox? Substring said that he's quite close to lakka's developpers... Picodrive would work like a charm for the 32x games. What's strange is that recalbox also use PCSX ReARMed, maybe it's a compilation problem... I remember Lakka having the same problem on PSX with the core at launch, but it has been long fixed since then.
Thanks guys!

PS: I'll soon post a video of how it runs on the C2 actually, it's really choppy like regalia said, so you can see for yourself.
Hope to see

A way to fix the mega CD problem is changing the preset core to Genesisplusgx. But if the sound probleprappear, there's only one solution for that: complete reinstallation of recalbox on the card...

@substring
Hi!
Just so you know, on recalbox 18.03.30 for odroid C2, the Sega 32x strangely disappeared from all menu, seems like it has been removed.
There's also a problem with the basic core for the mega CD, which can be resolved by using the Genesisplusgx core. There's also a topic with me and regalia about the c2 version, and how it may be fixed for both 32x and ps1, and even n64, as other cores on Lanka work best for these (picodrive for 32x, pcsx rearmed on ps1 and mupen64plus opengl for n64). As you say you are close to the Lanka programmers, do you think it would be possible to implement those from Lakka in recalbox with their consent? That would be just perfect!
Thanks for all your hard work man!

Ps: I'll install the new update and see if there is any change for the c2 and let you know...

@paradadf
Hello Paradadf!
i now encountered another bug on the lattest release for the C2: The sound keep staying at 0% in the sound options of the menu, no problem with the music still...
So now i have no sound with the games!
Can you tell me if you have a way to get the older 18.03.18 release on the C2? For that's the only way for me to actually have sound and play all the games including mega cd...

@paradadf
Hi! Thanks, i really hope that the C2 get upgraded soon, it really is needed...
So you can see the differences, i uploaded this video, showing the cores on lakka running:
https://youtu.be/hKv1HhCOmYI
I didn't run the mega cd, as the core runs fine for me, and that the actual problem reside with the current version of Recalbox (like the fact that the 32x was removed).
For more infos about the cores, see at 10:55 for PS1, 14:40 for Sega 32X and 21:32 for N64, each time i swap console... Here's what you can see written down:

For references, games played are Castlevania SOTN, Final Fantasy 8 and Megaman X8 for PS1, Knuckles Chaotix for 32X, and Zelda Ocarina of time on N64...
I'll soon (tomorrow) upload another one with the same games on Recalbox, so you can see the problem for yourself. By the way can you pinpoint me to the people actually in charge of the C2 release? So i can give them my version on Mega which works fime for the Mega CD? Thanks!

@regalia
That's great news! So we now have a confirmation that the current image is broken for the mega cd system, along with the 32x being removed and the problem with the PS1 and N64.
I really hope Recalbox got fixed on the C2 for these, so it would be the ultimate machine seeing how it would be complete and running at 100%.
Other news is that i finished creating a video via my Hauppauge recorder of how Lakka works on the C2 with these emulators, with all the infos that you can find about the cores on it (finally found how to see it).
I'll upload later today on Youtube and post the link here, for those who want, along with the infos.
I'll later post another video with the current Recalbox for these emulators, so you can see the problem for yourself...
I'll let you know!
Bye!

@paradadf
for the resolution, i frankly don't know, i only know that on the N64, it's core provided, otherwhise you can choose 4:3 resolution (320x240) or 19:9 resolution (640x360).
I tried the default and the glupen along with a third one (a variant of glupen i think), but they are nowhere near as great as the one on lakka.
For the Sega 32x, all roms and bios match the ones on the wiki, but it doesn't run well, about 1/2, 1/3 of speed lowered...
As for the Sega Mega CD, as i said it works perfectly for me, using my older recalbox upgraded to the current one. But with the image of the lattest recalbox, it's just like regalia, it doesn't work... So it definitively is not a problem of bios or roms...
Finally, you forgot to mention the PS1, it's really slow and choppy on recalbox, while it works prefectly on lakka. I think it's pcsx rearmed for both, so i wonder why it never worked correctly on recalbox.
If you need, i can send you the image i'm using for my c2 with lakka, and the one i'm using on recalbox, maybe you can check both to see what's the problem, and permutate from one to another (don't know if that would work).
I can also put a video if you want on youtube so you can see how well these work on lakka, and another with the recalbox to see the differences...
I'm awaiting some news from regalia, i'll let you know if there is more infos...
The thing is since it's original release on the C2, we didn't saw much more improvement of recalbox, unlike any other plateform, so it's a bit frustrating...

@paradadf
Don't know how to check that on Lakka, i can see a list of cores and that's all, here's what i found that is related:
-nintendo 64 (mupen64plus)
-nintendo 64 (parallel n64)
-playstation (pcsx rearmed)
-sega dreamcast (redream)
-sega dreamcast (reicast)
-sega ms/md/cd/32x (picodrive)

If you need i can make a video of how it turns on Lakka and all infos that it shows... And also make one for recalbox, so you can compare...

As for the last release, i think that there definitively is a problem with 32x and mega cd, as i tried a new installation from scratch and mega cd doesn't turn as well as previously and 32x completely disappeared...

Let me know how i can be of help ^_^

PS: their ppsspp port isn't working nearly as good as yours (crashed each time i tried soulcalibur psp), and i didn't manage to find how to make some of my roms on snes or nec to be recognized...

@paradadf
Hello Paradadf!
I just noticed thanks to regalia that the sega 32x emulator disappeared from the last version of recalbox on the C2, do you have any news concerning that problem?
As for the sega cd problem of regalia, i send him various things to test what works for me, but it doesn't work for him too, so it's neither the bios nor the rom... I uploaded for him the image of my current updated version that does work with mega cd...
We'll see how this works and let you know.
By the way, i gave a try to Lakka after creating the image from my current recalbox (also for backup), to check how some other emulators works with the C2, and i can say that the Sega 32x, the PS1 and the N64 run perfectly at 100%, with the same bios i used on recalbox. These ones are really problematic actually (the 32x and ps1 run really slow on recalbox, while the N64 run almost good, but not perfectly, the lakka runs way better).
Can we hope to get a new release soon with a fix for the C2 for these emulators?
Maybe use the same emulators used in Lakka? And see the 32x make his return?
Many thanks in advance for your answer!

@regalia
As far as I know there wasn't, all c2 are the same, unlike pi3b and pi3b+...
I'm not a fan of batocera, but I will soon give it a try, just like lakka, to see if the psx works better and why... Maybe to see for the 32x too...
The last think possible is that I did upgrade from the first c2 release till now, but the actual version should be the same as your one... What I can do last is upload an image of my current SD card, if you wanna give it a try I can do that tomorrow...

@regalia
Hi! Are you sure it booted on the USB stick? Did you see only 2 games in the Sega CD folder? Did you have access to the 32x game and emulator I put in there for test? And what about the other ones? Be sure it started via the usb stick... On the menu, try selecting the USB stick by its name, and if that don't work try "any external storage"... For with the file I gave you as the starting device, we have the exact same configuration, recalbox version, ISO and Rom...
Did you see any difference with your current version on the menu, just to be sure you started via the USB, as mine is horizontal not vertical, with the Xbox buttons showing on the bottom left of the screen...

Edit: Last possible scenario, if it's not a booting selection problem and you ARE starting via the usb, maybe there is a problem with your SD card installation of recalbox, try downloading again the file and install all over again...

@regalia
Link send to your email, check it! In case you need help for using the USB stick, look at this post:
