@xtreemsurf Have you taken a look at the controls configuration menu? There you can set a controller for player 1, another for player 2, etc ...

I found a solution!!!

For anyone who also wants to use a 3 button Sega controller, there is an option in the Retroarch menu under Settings—>Input—>Menu Toggle Gamepad Combo. You can set it to Hold Start for 2 seconds to bring up the Retroarch menu.

I’m still waiting on my controllers to be delivered, but I would imagine that I’ll also need to edit the Recalbox controller config file to remove the Hotkey from my 3 button Sega controller.

Edit: I just tested this on another controller and it works perfectly! I set the “Hold Start for 2 Seconds” to return to menu option. I then edited the Emulation Station input config file and set the “Hotkey” button to a number higher than my controller had. I found that if I removed the Hotkey completely, Recalbox would then ask me to reconfigure the controller.

I hope this helps someone!

The method described on this page (https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-a-start-stop-button-to-your-recalbox-(EN)) has always worked up until this update. Is editing the Python scripts necessary? If so, is there a guide for this? Thanks again!

@acris

Thanks for the info! I'll look into this..,

@rockaddicted

Thanks for the advice! I'm looking for a budget card... either a GeoForce GT 710 or Radeon HD 6450. Does Recalbox tend to work better with an Nvidia card or an AMD card? Thanks again!

@ren-tokyo because storing your rom on usb stick or hdd makes it easier for a lot of reasons :

you can directly copy your rom on the stick by connecting it on your pc thus you can also scrape easily on your PC with UXML it's easier to save your whole setup you won't have to worry that much in case of trouble (hard reset or shutdown which tends to break the filesystem) even if your file system is broken, you can try to fix it on your pc and most of the time restore it, that's not possible with the sd, at least on windows you can also have several usb key and tell you recalbox to use the one it finds one boot, this allow you to separate your systems like you want (but you will have to do your configuration once with each key connected) if you have several pi with the same hardware and the same version of recalbox installed, you can use your key on each of them

Thanks!

@r041 said in Yellow writing when loading ROM...:

If you see yellow squares at the bottom then this means that Retroarch isn't loading a font.

You likely don't need to delete anything, just navigate to your Retroarch Config here: /recalbox/share/system/configs/retroarch/retroarchcustom.cfg

Then add this line to the Config: video_font_path = /storage/assets/xmb/retroactive/font.ttf

Thank you. It worked fo me

@azvarel

Very cool...thanks!

I had the best luck using an old Bluetooth dongle from about 2003. It works perfectly. I believe the internal Bluetooth only works once you upgrade to 4.1....which leads me to this...can anyone help with this?...

I JUST upgraded to 4.1 today. My external Bluetooth dongle has worked perfectly! I upgraded to 4.1, so I could use the internal Bluetooth with my Wii U Pro controllers. They paired just fine, but I have a TON of input lag and it even misses some button presses.

Is there a way to switch BACK to using the external Bluetooth dongle? Do I just plug it in to disable the internal Bluetooth? Thanks to anyone who can answer this...thanks!

@paradadf said in Using Hotkey from player 2, 3, or 4?:

Only P1 can use the HK and no, the NES controller simply doesn't have enough buttons, so you can't save any state with it.

Sorry to recall on a old thread, but i can´t find the solution for my problem and as recalbox is being used VERY often in Custom consoles i guess this should have an answer (or workaround)...

I´ve built a RaspberryPi3 inside a SNES. And i am using a SNES > USB converter to use the original USB ports. Both controllers are set and detected as USB gamepad 1 and 2. That's ok. But i´ve added some buttons on the SNES case to detect when they are used and act accordingly... So, i added a button on SNES RESET tied to GPIO (Joy1 any button)... And I´ve added 2 extra buttons on the SNES Cartridge slot that are pressed at the same time when the EJECT button is pressed. I´ve wired those GPIO Joy1 HK, and GPIO Joy1 - START. I thought that the Hotkeys are capture on any controller. But unfortunatelly after all this work, the SNES case buttons can´t work, because the hotkeys can only be captured on the first controller... Is there a way to change that ? It´s so limiting this way, for this kind of CaseMod projects... I want to reset the Roms using the SNES RESET button (not the controller). And to keep using the Eject too, if possible... It whould be PERFECT.

You're right...I only paid about $1 for the 12v fan, so it's not much of a loss. It actually spins fast enough to cool the system slightly, but not too fast but the fan is loud. It's a speed that's quiet enough I wouldn't mind leaving it running all the time. I'm considering connecting the fan to the 3.3 V LED pin, to make it turn on/off easily with the system. This would make it run even slower.
