Anyone else using Recalbox?
MaseMan:
So I recently pulled the trigger and bought a Raspberry Pi 3 kit, and have it hooked up to my living room TV. So far so good. I downloaded Recalbox, and install was pretty simple.
Overall I like the setup, but I'm having a couple issues.
1) NES games are cropped a bit on the edges, for some reason. I can't find any setting to fix this.
2) I tried using a PS3 controller at first. Connecting via a Bluetooth dongle worked fine, but I experienced noticeable input lag with both NES and SNES games. Bad enough that platform games are unplayable. I switched to an old USB controller I had lying around, and no input lag at all. It seems like there should be a way to use wireless controllers with this setup, but I haven't figured it out yet.
I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else is using Recalbox and if there are solutions to the issues above.

Pi3's has built in Bluetooth, have you tried to use the on board blutooth instead? Usually its the other way around meaning the onboard has lag but you should at least give it a shot.

I thought the on board Bluetooth doesn't work with Recalbox? If it does, I can give it a shot.

Im not sure it it will work or not. You can also try using retropi instead. I never had issues with cropping or input lag.

I've got Recalbox working great with IPAC Ultimate. 2 joysticks, a bunch of arcade buttons and a trackball. Only issue I have run into is problems with arcade games that run on libretro. I cannot figure out how to change button mapping. I need to use a USB keyboard "shift" button to insert a coin and "return" for player one start. Can anyone help an old guy out?
