I have just tested the RPi3 image.
One little thing i notcied at the beginning in EmulationStation Menu:
When i choose a system and while in the game selection screen on the bottom it says, that i can switch between Systems with L- and R-Button.
But this does not work. Nothing happens, when you press L- or R-Button in the game selection screen.
Instead when you are in the top level system selection, you can switch between systems with L- and R-Button.
Also i got a sudden crash (black screen) when i was in ES Menu switching between the Systems with the L-Button (i pressed the button several times and suddenly the screen turned black).

nadenislamarre hi, sorry for replying without a bug report, but could you please give us the list of changes for this update?
And if you allow me, could I give a suggestion? Wouldn’t be interesting to fix all the last beta-test and also release posts on top? I think that this would lure more ppl to test the new versions and to have more feedbacks about the updates under development.

Thank you again for the attention and for Batocera 🙂

Hi,

I detect this bugs/problems in x64 build (https://batocera-linux.xorhub.com/upgrades/x86_64/beta/last/). It's a Fresh Install.

My hardware:
Intel NUC NUC7PJYH
Intel Pentium Silver J5005
8Gb DDR4 2400Mhz in dual channel (2x4Gb)
Intel GPU UHD 605
Intel Wireless-AC 9462 + Bluetooth
HDMI output
500Gb Sata 3 Mechanic Hard Disk
8bitdo sf30 pro gamepad, connected with USB. (I still have to test the bluetooth connection)

1) The ppsspp emulator always starts with x4 in texture resolution. If we save a new global configuration, it always starts with the same configuration even if you change it. On the other hand, if you save the configuration for a specific game, it does.

2) bsnes emulator does start when load a snes rom. When starts a rom, black screen and return to Emulationstation screen.

So far I've seen this. With my use of it, I have not seen anything serious that is failing. The network works correctly, the graphics card has the right performance, and the emulationstation update is a real treat. If I detect more things, I will post them here.

If anyone wants me to do a specific test of something with this NUC tell me, I'll try it.

I have a couple of questions:
1) Is it possible to upgrade from 5.23 to 5.24 beta without formatting the hard drive?

2) when will the stable version be released?

PS: I really appreciate this new addition:
" * x86_64: support for recent UEFI-only motherboards, including Apple MacBook Pro "

Now i was able to try batocera on a Jumper Ezbook X4 (a x64 notebook), but mouse trackpad and enter key doesn't work..

1) Yeah, you can edit batocera.conf (on windows \batocera\share\system\batocera.conf) and change the line update.type=stable to update.type=beta. Then upgrade normally. As with all upgrades, there's always a risk of breaking something. Always backup.

2) Only developers know's the answer.

Regards,

nadenislamarre

@lopapa no. i don't know. for now, i would say, around 5 november.

1) The ppsspp emulator always starts with x4 in texture resolution. => normal, this is now an es configuration. you can edit in games > advanced > psp and choose teh value

I didn't mean for you to indicate a release date for version 5.24. I'm apologizing if it's been misunderstood. With all that you have already done you already deserve heaven!

1) Now I have seen how to change the resolution of the ppsspp emulator thanks to your instructions. It works perfectly, thank you very much!

2) I'm focusing on the American Rom of Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World, decompressed (sfc format) for loading. First of all, I change the default emulator settings for that rom to libretro - bsnes. When loading the rom, the commented, black screen and return to the emulationstation menu.
I've done the same test with the American Super Mario Kart rom to discard. Same problem. Tomorrow I will do a clean installation of the beta version, since I have just updated the unstable versions.

2) bsnes emulator does start when load a snes rom => i don't know. but some people tested it successfully.
