Yep, I figured out it's only in 4.0. Can I suggest the wiki manual be updated since it says 3.3.x but it mentions features only in 4.0? Would love to run 4.0.0 but as long as it has bugs with 8BitDo Bluetooth controllers I will be sticking to 3.3. Thanks for the replies!

"Updates games list" missing
Hello, sorry if this is the wrong place to post but it seems like hardly anyone looks at the English troubleshooting forum. The manual on the wiki, under adding your games, says:
To refresh the game library, go to the Menu, then Games Settings then Update Games Lists
However, this "Update games lists" option does not appear anywhere under Games Settings for me. I am using 3.3 beta 17. Can someone please help me understand this? I'm looking for this setting because I seem to have a problem where Recalbox only sees the ROMs I add for one system at a time. I have currently added ROMs for the NES and SNES. All are in the proper directories and have the proper file extensions. However, I can't get Recalbox to "see" both the NES and SNES games at the same time. If it sees the SNES games, it shows no games at all for the NES, and vice versa.

Copying ROMs without wifi
Is there a way to copy my ROMs over to Recalbox without Recalbox being connected to my network?

RE: "Hold a button on your device"
Update: I installed 3.3 instead and was able to complete configuration of the controllers. It definitely seems like this is a 4.0 issue.

RE: Disabling screensaver/sleep?
Hello Acris, There does not appear to be any way to do that in Emulation Station menu. I can change the amount of time before the screensaver goes on up to 30 minutes, but not disable it completely. Perhaps it is not even really the screensaver which is the problem. The real problem seems to be that after a period of inactivity the system will stop polling for inputs from the Bluetooth controllers, even though they supposedly remain connected, and become unresponsive.

Disabling screensaver/sleep?
Is there a way to completely disable screensaver in Recalbox? After a certain period of time in screensaver, Recalbox on my RPi2 will stop responding to inputs from my Bluetooth controllers (8BitDo NES30's) even though they still -seem- to be connected (blue lights stay on). At that point, I have to pull the plug on my RPi and then plug it in again to reboot the system to get it responding again.

RE: "Hold a button on your device"
Update: I installed 3.3 instead and the controllers now both pair and allow me to configure them properly, it seems. Appears to be a 4.0 issue?

"Hold a button on your device"
I am trying to set up my 8bitdo NES30 controllers on Recalbox 4.0 via Bluetooth. They pair just fine using the instructions on the Wiki, but when I try to actually configure inputs, it says "Hold a button on your device," and none of the buttons on the controllers produce any result. Can someone please help? Thanks.

RE: Make Kodi go away?
What is this portion of the config file supposed to look like? If it's corrupt, how do I fix it? If I delete it, will recalbox autogenerate a new default one?

RE: Make Kodi go away?
Update: Made all of the changes mentioned above with Notepadd++, saved the edited conf file again, reconfigured the input on my wireless 360 controller. The LED around the Xbox button on the controller continues to blink constantly instead of fixing in the player 1 position. The Xbox button no longer starts Kodi, but pressing the X (blue) button on the system menu results in a prompt asking if I want to start Kodi. The answer is always going to be NO. Isn't there any way I can get Kodi out of my life forever? Also noticing strange sound issues in some SNES games (notably Looney Tunes B-Ball, one of my favorites); tried switching which SNES emulator is used in the conf file from pocketsnes to Snes9x (I have played this game in Snes9x before with no such problems) but it makes no difference... I am suspicious this line in the conf file is not doing anything either.

RE: Make Kodi go away?
Neko, Well, I have been using WordPad to make edits to the conf file all along, since I immediately noticed that NotePad can't pa**e the line breaks and makes the whole thing one big wad of text. Rockaddicted, Thanks for this tip. Can you elaborate by what you mean about my controller number? Currently I just have the one wireless 360 controller I am using, so do I just put a 1?

RE: Make Kodi go away?
Elkstreme, If you're talking about the enable_xbox_drv section of the file, I've removed the ; and changed the variable to 1.
------------ D - XBOX Controllers ------------ # ## Xbox controllers are already supported, but xboxdrv can solve some compatibility issues ## Disable this if you use ps3 controllers enable_xbox_drv=1 ## set the amount of controllers to use with xboxdrv ;xboxdrv_nb_controls=2
Retroboy, Trying to avoid having to do things through ssh if possible because as I mentioned in my other thread the ins and outs of it are a mystery to me. I have installed Notepad++ and will try it that way, but why should it make a difference what editor I use to change the variables? Why will Recalbox pay attention to changes made with one editor and not another? The changes to the conf file are definitely saved when I have edited it with Notepad or WordPad, they just don't appear to actually have any effect.

How to add new themes?
Would it be possible for anyone to walk me through the process of installing new EmulationStation themes? I would specifically like to use the theme made by Hurtaut available for download on this page: http://aloshi.com/emulationstation#themes (Although probably without the Retropie splash screen, as that just wouldn't be quite accurate.) The mini how-to on editing themes here frankly tells me, as a new user who is not accustomed to working with the terminal commands on a RPi, nothing. I have a complete theme downloaded (the one linked above); isn't there a way to just drop it in and go? Thanks for any light anybody can shed on this.

Make Kodi go away?
Hello all. I am enjoying Recalbox a great deal for game emulation. However, I have no use whatsoever for Kodi/XMBC, as I use a different solution already for streaming. Is there a way I can, for lack of a better way to put it... make Kodi go away? Forever? I don't want to switch from EmulationStation to Kodi. Ever. And it keeps happening accidentally, which is extremely frustrating. Usually when I hit the Xbox button on the Xbox 360 wireless controller I use. I have edited relevant files in the recalbox.conf file as follows:
------------ A - Kodi ----------- # ## Show or hide kodi in emulationstation enable_kodi=0 ## Start kodi at launch ;kodi_at_start=0 ## set x button shortcut (enabled by default) kodi_by_xbutton=0
But they appear to make no difference. Pressing the Xbox button still kicks me over from EmulationStation to Kodi. I am sure Kodi is great at what it does, if you need it. But I don't. How can I ensure I never have to look at it while I am trying to play games again? Thanks in advance for your help!
