Thanks, will give it a try.

I'm fiddeling around with recalbox for a few days now. I'm so blown away how convenient this system is, regarding it's complexity/functionality. Those guys are doing outstandig work. I'm really impressed :-)

Ok, thanks again. So not so trivial I

I probalby will setup up recalbox on a new micro SD Card, so I'm able to recover all already made settings. Most importantly for me are my favourites, since the ROM lists on some Emulators are pretty long and I only interested in maybe 30-50 of them. So going through the emulator ROM lists and marking the interesting roms as favourite was the most time consuming part.

For instance using dual display on boot is not even officially supported on recalbox so...

You probably got me wrong. I'm not trying to boot 2 displays at the same time, only either one. If the TFT is used a HDMI connector is used to connect the Pi HDMI connector with the TFT display. When playing on the TV i remove this connector and plug the TV cable into the Pi directly.

I assumed if global.videomode=default is set Pi/Recalbox and the display device will figure something out. Well in fact this was never an issue (resolution/display problems).

@voljega said in Boot problems, get stuck on loading screen ... sometimes:

MiniCake TV

Ok,thanks. Wasn't curious about that :-/

What would be the best way to backup all my custom settings of this system and restore it on an official recalbox version (if possible at all)?

Backup all gamelist.xml from all ROM folders and the recalbox.conf?

I just realized that there are two different intro videos in the resources/splash folder and one of the two videos is with those opening doors and one isn't ... so no overlay here and explaining why sometimes they are there and sometimes not :-)

Hi,

Im' using Recalbox (TMCTV 32GB image) on a Raspberry Pi 3+, which is build in a handheld console with a 5'' TFT screen which is having a 800x480 resolution. I also use the system as a mobile retro console for my 48'' 4K display. Both connect via HDMI.

After playing with some setting I'm experiencing that Recalbox is getting stuck while booting, when playing on TV or TFT. Sometime I have to retry the boot process 3-5 times and usually it will work. Has anybody a clue why this is?

Attached is the image it get's stuck. What I also recognized is, that there is a overlay over the intro video (those vertically opening doors). This overlay sometimes is not present and sometimes is. Maybe this has something to do with this issue?

Another querstion regarding the game/rendering resolution. For some consoles/games e.g. Nintendo 64 it is suggested to keep the setting low due to the demanding requierements of those consoles/games. I'm not quite sure where to do it.
In the recalbox.conf there is this global default parameter:

global.videomode=CEA 4 HDMI //720p mode

I changed this to 1080p (global.videomode=CEA 5 HDMI) and was expecting a worse performance e.g. on Tony Hawk's 2 but couldn't spot any difference. So is this setting just the HDMI output setting and not the rendering setting for the emulator? If so, where can I set the rendering resolution for emulators? I looked thru the retroarch menu's but couldn't find this setting, as well a in the advanced emulator configuration in the recalbox GUI.

Thanks for your help, Tem :-)

Thanks a lot :-)

Will try later.

Thanks, so you say I simply can replace it? Isn't this file being generated new on every boot up?
What happens if the the file contains entrys which are not in the file structure?

Hi,

I'm having issues with my current Recalbox system and I'm not sure what the problem is yet. Maybe it is software related, since I testes a lot with the recalbox configs possibilities, but also it can be a hardware (overheating) issue.

For further testing I would like to save my hard work, setting my favourite games for my favourite emulators.

So for further problem analysis I simply would like to reflash the 32GB image I flashed previously and which was running quite good for some time. With this step I'll loose my favourite lists. I couldn't find any topic in this forum explaining if it is possible to backup/restore those settings. So here I am asking you :-)

Thanks Tem

1550Mhz?

Wohl eher 1375Mhz im Extreme mode?

Ich heiße Tem und beschäftige mich seit kurzem mit Emulatoren :-)

Recalbox gefällt mir richtig gut.
