Found another bug: Gamecube & Wii refuse to load without my gamepad plugged in. Often when adding new stuff and no intent on actually playing anything at the moment? I might not have my gamepad plugged in and just using keyboard instead to test things out. Gamecube & Will? Nope, it auto-kicks me back to the main menu as soon as i select a game. The games only run when a pad is plugged in. I think this is the only system that does that.

I'm using the 64-bit Pc version of Recalbox also. Not sure if i mentioned that earlier.

@acris said in Recalbox Pc 64-bit version, games won't start with USB pad plugged in!:

Hello
you need to use D-Input mode
NOT X-Input mode
Check swith button.
check mode on your gamepad, and try again.

Wow. That worked. Thanks!

I used this pad just fine on my older 2018 Recalbox build. I guess the older Recalbox didn't care about D Vs X Input modes back then. And i had completely forgotten about that D-X slider switch.

Adding PS2 emulation is at a reflexion level actually 🙂

Finished! Ok so the damage wasn't nearly as bad as i thought. Out of 700'ish games between Mame and Final Burn sections, 48 didn't work. And then there was a lot of strange name altering and missing images that made it look a lot worse.

No special fixes. I just bite the bullet and put in the effort to fix everything. Besides redownloading stuff, i also moved some things from Final Burn to Mame section. Due to mame having multiple emulator versions (Mame 2003, 2010, etc) for increased compatibility. Final Burn Neo only had the (1) emu running, and no selectable alternatives.

As for all the naming problems and image issues, i just manually went into the gameslist.XML and what not, and fixed it by hand. It was all a huge pain in the butt since everything works/looks fine on my Pi3 build, and all my files were just a copy & paste of that. Whatever, i just put in the work.

Other than that, the 64-bit Pc version of Recalbox is running nicely. Only other issue is, for systems that require a bios? When selecting a game a warning ALWAYS pops up, saying i don't have the bios required, and asking me if i want to continue. Even though the games load Perfectly everytime. Seems to do this for all systems that require a bios of any kind. I have all my bios in the proper spot, which is why my games load fine.

@skullgrin the xu4 with fan doesn't have overheating problem, the one with heatsink yes. however some od batches had not very good quality where the unit would cease to work

the c2 is just not very interesting regaring its perfomance, it hasn't a difference big enough from a pi to justify choosing it over the raspbery

Did you check if the rewind setting is enable? If so pls disable it, there are some incompatibilites between PCE CD games and taht setting.

@skullgrin i know that ultimate ghouls'n'ghosts is pretty badly emulated for instance

@voljega Holy crap! So i tried everything again, using the same official tutorial as before to get USB drive working but, this time used an older 128GB USB drive i had. Loaded up the Bios and roms as before and....it works!! WTF. The other drive i was using was a brand new, from the package, 16GB USB. Followed the same directions and got nothing. But its working now with my 128GB. SEGA CD Bios and games boot up fine. I don't get it. I did everything the same as before. Oh well, at least its working now.
