ANNOUNCING *BETA* RELEASE OF RECALBOX FOR THE ROCK64

[Gaëtan]

The first post is saying that the beetle-psx as been added.
So is it possible to change the resolution and have something better, close to pc result ?

@Gaëtan - first and most importantly, welcome to the community!
i would always recommend the pine store for purchases, but admittedly Amazon also has some good deals
As for beetle-psx, it's a retroarch core so explore the in-game menu a bit and there are some resolution settings, but the optimal resolution for these emulators is 720p and so we have set that as the max for retroarch.

Thank you for your reply ! I'll see to pouchase one soon. 
Than, for psx graphics it should be better than on pi3 ? 
Could you tell if there will be new beta update soon ? 
Also  I'm really curious about the performance on dc and psp emulation comparing to Rpi3.
I saw 4do emulator  so the 3do is supported ? 
Sorry to bother you with questions, I'm more and more interested in that board

What game would you like to see tested? if I have it I will fire it up and report back.

On DC, it would be good to test Dead Or Alive that is really borderline on pi3b and b+ and daytona usa. 
On psp you could try tekken 6 and wipeout  with default settings and pspx2. If you have other games you could test it too

Hi guys...

Unfortunately with the starting of the school my time to play (I mean not playing to video games  ) with the board has been dramatically reduced...

So now I discovered there are two releases on MrFixit Github page and I am quite confused:

• recalbox_rock64_betav2.img.xz 267 MB
  
• recalbox_rockbox.img.xz 267 MB
  

Which are the difference? I don't use Kodi (I deactivated it )since the moment I use OSMC in another board, is the Rockbox version lighter?

Thanks!

While they use the same chipset Rockbox is not rock64 so if you have a rock64 you should use the image labeled rock64 to avoid incompatibilities...

[Danielsan]

Oh my... What a dumb... I was convinced that Rockbox was like a software mediaplayer...
Got it, I'll stick with Recalbox for Rock64...

Tekken 6 is unplayable - 20fps or so, even with an overclock. Don't have the other games on hand.

[edit] with some tweaks and 1xPSP as well as Frameskip=1 its playable

Here is a screenshot of Tekken 6 running on a pi3B overclocked at 1300mhz.
All ppsspp setting by default, except it's 2xPSP
