nadenislamarre I’ll give a try in my R PiB+....
Good job! Many bug fixes implemented...

was some bug fix implemented in Nintendo 64 Emulator? due to start freezing after some minutes playing...

I’m curious to test it! I’ll do it as soon as I return home.

Have a Nice day!

nadenislamarre Thanks for provide RC1 of tests ....

As you observed, i noted too in Rpi3 the low performance of RA , and even in "Fast Forward / Rewind" has issues of performance ...

The actual stable 5.18 has an "recent" RA (1.7.4) and not have this problem, so, i believe the issue is about other thing and not only Retroarch Version ...

luizthiago

escalisa For me, now, N64 is running well like older versions ...all fine about it ...I'm having only RA performance problems ....

nadenislamarre

@escalisa yes, luiz did several tests and for him, rpi3 is perfect now on all emulators (at least, as best as it has ever been.)

escalisa

nadenislamarre ,

You are right, it seems it is as best as it has ever been... I'm now running it in full speed (overclocked at 1.500MHz).

I had some issue regarding Sound when opted for Jack or Auto instead of HDMI...

I realized that, when playing on Dreamcast emulator, the audio does not work if I choose for jack or Auto instead of HDMI. And for this emulator the sound is always too higher than the others (when considering HDMI sound).

Maybe it is a known issue from the old version (5.18), by the way, I just realized it now.

Another thing is that, now, once my RPI3 B+ is set to update automatically, I'm receiving a message to update to version 5.18 (but I'm with 5.19 intalled)... I know that it is becouse it is a different version than we have in the server... so I just turn the automatic update off to keep 5.19 intalled and not downgrade it to 5.18...

Let me know if would you like to me to do some specific test in order to help you to turn Batocera even better!

Best Regards!

It’s the final version?

nadenislamarre

@DnevnoySwet did 5.18 worked ? not 100% of the computer are solved.
@Ariosto95 if nobody found a big regression compared to 5.18, yes.

DnevnoySwet

nadenislamarre 5.18 x86 работал еще лучше 5.18 x64

redqueen

Works for me, have it testested for a short time, with SNES, NES and GBC (Rpi 3 B+).

luizthiago

redqueen Maybe, if you can, try the "fast forward" option in RA for Snes and too for psx emu ...you see the performance of fast forward is worse than the official 5.18 ...it good for comparative versions ....

redqueen

luizthiago I don't use psx emu, but I see what you mean.

I have another problem: It shows me the yellow bolt in the upper right after some time playing. Don't know why.

The version 5.19 beta for 64bits was the best already released my congratulations, I have a video card gtx 1050ti does not output audio in the hdmi output I joined the shortcut Alt + Cotrl + F4 I select the model of my card and the volume simply does not it works already on the onboard board everything works normally
Can you tell me if there is anything I can do for the audio to run through the hdmi output

Paulska

redqueen I think that means your power supply is not producing enough current.

redqueen

Paulska Yes I think the same. I have the official 5,1 V DC, 2,5 A PSU. Will buy another with 3,1 A this week and try.

I realized that in the test version 5.19 PI3 in the kodi the controls and keyboards is not configured and using a usb ps2 control I can not configure right because of the error speech not triggering the left and down, I performed the tests in 2 different controls, I decided to restore kodi to version of 5.18 I just changed the kodi folder to the old version

marcussouza

I've updated to the latest version and all my controls are fine, except that the HOTKEY + START and every shortcut is not working anymore in my Xbox One S bluetooth controller. In my 360 wireless controller it's all fine.

This are the inputs of my Xbox One S controller today:

You can compare to my previous post in this topic https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/forum/d/1144-joystick-configured-out-of-the-box/38

edit: With the select button I was able to use the shortcuts. But would be nice to be able to use the Xbox Logo Button to do this (Home button)

As to this note...
"support for nvidia proprietary driver (to be enabled manually in recalbox-boot.conf)"
...what should be edited into the conf. My installation only shows a single line referring to the internal storage? Thanks in advance, this is amazing work.

edit: found my answer
add nvidia-driver=true in recalbox-boot.conf
