ANNOUNCING RECALBOX FOR THE ROCKPRO64 - ALPHA RELEASE - Mrfixit2001 - 10-18-2018 ANNOUNCING RECALBOX FOR THE ROCKPRO64 - ALPHA RELEASE After many efforts with much teamwork, collaboration, and testing, we are very excited to provide the ALPHA release of RECALBOX for the ROCKPRO64 board! -- The download is located under this repository's releases -- https://github.com/mrfixit2001/recalbox_rockpro64/releases Details on the ROCKPRO64 SoC can be found here: https://www.pine64.org/?page_id=61454 For those of you unfamiliar with Recalbox: https://www.recalbox.com/ "Recalbox offers a wide selection of consoles and game systems. From the very first arcade systems to the NES, the MEGADRIVE, 32-bit platforms (such as the Playstation) and even Nintendo64. With Kodi already included, Recalbox also serves as a Media Center. By connecting it to your home network, you will be able to stream videos from any compatible devices (NAS, PC, External HDD, etc.)." Please do keep in mind that this is a ALPHA release, which means you should still EXPECT some things not to work quite right. We have done a LOT of testing on our own to try and resolve as many issues as we can before this release, but now you get to help! (Lucky you!) So if/when you do find things that don't work right, please use the link in github to report the issue. When reporting issues:
Lastly, please remember this is a community build, and just something I've worked on in my free time. There's no pressure at all, but if you appreciate the work then feel free to send me a buck on Paypal: mrfixit2001 at gmail. Special thanks go out to Kwiboo from LibreELEC, Substring at Recalbox, and LukasZ at Pine64 for their efforts in testing and feedback!
RE: ANNOUNCING RECALBOX FOR THE ROCKPRO64 - ALPHA RELEASE - jja2000 - 10-20-2018 So what's the difference with Lakka? RE: ANNOUNCING RECALBOX FOR THE ROCKPRO64 - ALPHA RELEASE - Mrfixit2001 - 10-20-2018 Recalbox is a highly customized (and improved) version of Emulationstation, which supports all the same emulators as retropie, maybe a bit more, including both libretro cores and non libretro cores. It also has built in KODI for media playback. Plus, this release also has a custom kernel and the updated KODI v18. Lakka is strictly retroarch (libretro) emulators. Overall this release should provide a more stable, more optimized, and more feauture rich experience. Not speaking ill of lakka, it's a great build! Just think recalbox is a more robust solution. RE: ANNOUNCING RECALBOX FOR THE ROCKPRO64 - ALPHA RELEASE - Pitcrawler - 10-27-2018 Thank you! This is precisely what I bought a RockPro64 for. From what I've tried so far it works very well. RE: ANNOUNCING RECALBOX FOR THE ROCKPRO64 - ALPHA RELEASE - Pitcrawler - 10-29-2018 I do have an issue to report. I was so close to having it just as I wanted it but this one seems to be a showstopper for me right now. I know that the audio jack doesn't work on Linux right now, only HDMI audio. I have my RockPro64 connected to a monitor, so I'm using a HDMI to VGA adapter which also splits off the HDMI audio to a 3.5mm jack. Connected to that jack I have a set of speakers. The issue is that within Recalbox the HDMI audio is either turned off or at 100% volume, with no in-between. The volume control does not work at all. It remains at 0% no matter what I try to change it to, but the actual volume output is always 100%. So now I can't have sound through those speakers because it's too loud. The speakers themselves have no in-built volume control. I tried looking at the config files and amixer, but there seems to be noting there either. If you go into Kodi, that does have its own volume control that works just fine. It's just on Recalbox/Emulationstation where it doesn't work.

Can you confirm that if you plug directly to an HDMI tv with sound if the audio settings work for you? Want to check that they work correctly without your adapter as well. RE: ANNOUNCING RECALBOX FOR THE ROCKPRO64 - ALPHA RELEASE - Pitcrawler - 10-30-2018 I tried it in a TV and it does the same thing. I did manage to find a battery-powered speaker that I can use for now that does have its own volume control. RE: ANNOUNCING RECALBOX FOR THE ROCKPRO64 - ALPHA RELEASE - Mrfixit2001 - 10-30-2018 Thank you for testing and providing feedback. Will investigate. RE: ANNOUNCING RECALBOX FOR THE ROCKPRO64 - ALPHA RELEASE - Pitcrawler - 11-01-2018 I did find another very strange bug and I'm not sure how it happened. I copied some more roms to the board then I went to try and play them. Now suddenly none of my controls work within the emulators. They were previously working. They work fine in emulationstation. I just had a possible idea though. I may have put the controller back into a different USB slot and somehow retroarch now can't find it. Nothing else was changed as far as I know.
