    • RE: Odroid XU4 TFT Display - keine Anzeige

      @alvin https://wiki.recalbox.com/en/tutorials/video/tft/second-minitft-or-ogst-for-scraps-and-videos
      This is the wiki page for changing configuration to support OGST.

      With recalbox running, get at the page that lets you see and edit recalbox.conf. Stop EmulationStation, paste the contents from the bottom of that wiki page (the code parts) to the bottom of the configuration, Save it, restart the Recalbox.

      Relevant wiki link to web interface:
      https://wiki.recalbox.com/en/tutorials/system/access/recalbox-manager-web-interface

      When Electron 8 updated, my screen stopped working and the configuration file was LOTS shorter. Pasting the entirety of this code at the bottom of the configuration brought it back into service.

      @alvin Google has a translator plugin for Chrome, Brave and probably other similarly made browsers. I cannot get along on this forum without using the plugin to translate the entire page for me.

      It also will add a tooltip to selected text which translates the selection.

    • How to use scummvm via SSH?

      Document about command line interface shown here doesn't seem to apply to the Recalbox scummvm emulator: ScummVM

      Any/all syntax documented on this page results in "scummvm" via SSH always terminating with the same message: "Could not initialize SDL: No available video device!"

      It's indeed a mystery how it works as the scummvm emulator documentation page just offers no insights. I'd study how Recalbox invokes scummvm to play a ROM, but my best grep efforts from root on down haven't found any relevant information...

    • RE: Carte SD formatage impossible réinstalle recalbox

      @hasmodan Raspberry Pi Imager tends to work for me. It can download recalbox for you, erase the SD card, write the image, verify and eject.

      If this utility doesn't work for you, I'd look into a different SD card adapter for your computer. I was unable to load onto an eMMS flash unit using this utility until I dug an old (Insignia brand from Best Buy) memory card reader out of a drawer and plugged the eMMS adapter (which has a SD card edge) into the computer and then was able to flash a fresh Recalbox.

    • RE: Second screen (OGST, etc) videos on system selection

      @alvin Judging from scraped videos, they are 720x480 and 30 FPS with H.264 encoding (I assume legacy), and AVC1 (MPGA) for audio. Scraped videos in this format play on the OGST TFT screen during game selection.

      I looked at the Wiki article mentioned in my earlier question about how I customize and override the videos shown during system selection, and the only mention of videos on that wiki page was bootvideos, so this is what I have been attempting.

      Nowhere does a search for "system videos" match content in the wiki as it stands.

      Therefore my original question remains: How may I add to the videos shown when navigating to one system and the next? The faux FBI warning shown for certain consoles/computers is just tiring... 😧

    • RE: Second screen (OGST, etc) videos on system selection

      @unktehila said in Second screen (OGST, etc) videos on system selection:

      E.g., if I were to create a compatible video for the Apple 2 computer, would I make an apple2 directory under bootvideos? Or do I need to name the video to match the roms folder name of the associated system? In this case, apple2.mp4?

      Further information: I've put apple2.mp4 in bootvideos and also in bootvideos/apple2/ directories. Neither of these cause the video shown when the Apple ][ is selected in system select. Game videos are working as intended (as scraped).

      The format is 30 FPS 640x480, HEVC encoding. If the video must differ from this, I wish to know the CODEC(s) supported, resolution and frame rates as well. If I don't seem to understand how to name/place the bootvideo files for systems selection, please clarify, @Zing

    • RE: Second screen (OGST, etc) videos on system selection

      @zing Thanks, I see now boot videos are used in context, system selection and game selection. It seems a well-scraped game has an appropriate video added.

      My current /recalbox/share/bootvideos/ directory is empty. I don't see on that Wiki page what naming and/or directory structure is provided for systems.

      E.g., if I were to create a compatible video for the Apple 2 computer, would I make an apple2 directory under bootvideos? Or do I need to name the video to match the roms folder name of the associated system? In this case, apple2.mp4?

      I guess if you want a variety of boot videos to pick at random during system selection, folder organization probably is what is necessary.

    • Second screen (OGST, etc) videos on system selection

      I cannot find in the Wiki where one may change the videos shown on my OGST screen when selecting a system. I believe I can find certain videos more appropriate or interesting than the "FBI warning" video associated with various systems I have active.
