Installing Recalbox on GPiCase

- Recalbox looks amazing, it appears much more polished and clean than RetroPie and we be perfect if you're planning on giving this to someone who is non-technical. It looks as if it's a straight up appliance and not a Linux based OS because it's polished. Also, with RetroPie just scrolling through my list of games was causing a crash and during the copy operation. This thing hasn't crashed once... (knock on wood) -- Let me know what you guys think!
thanks a lot Maverick!!! You `ve saved my GPI!!!
You are welcome! ;-)
Thank you!
I used the program WinSCP.
Worked fine.
Definitely helps, still learning more about Linux every day :-)
“Dad”
“Go upstairs”
😂😢
haha
Oops. You answered my question at the very end!!
:-)
I can't install Recalbox on mine and I can't configure Retropie without a keyboard, would I have a 16gb image to display Recalbox?
You may be able to find a working image somewhere online. I do not provide images or ROMs, sorry. You could also potentially install the image onto the SD card, and before putting the card in the Pi, turn on the SSH functionality. Then, you'd be able to remote in from your normal PC and configure it that way.
does recalbox have safe shutdown? do we need to install it manually?
During the installation it automatically installs a script that allows you to just shut it off and it will shutdown gracefully. However, I'm not of any scripts to safely shutdown in a low power situation.
I just got the Retroflag GPI yesterday and lagging quite a bit on every system I use. I downloaded the Recal image and I even have fresh batteries in it. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Please help!
I would attempt John Doe's suggestion. Let me know how it is :-)
Magnetically shield the speaker cabling.
Great idea!
Does this one have the safe shut down deal on it like the other version you showed us?
Yes it does
Just got the gpi case and its awesome. I tried retro pie but cant connect to the wifi at all. So im using recalbox.
Yeah, I did the same on mine.
@@MavericksArcade Its weird it wont connect I am not sure why it wont on retropie I could try tinkering with it some more to try to get it to work cause on recalbox the emulation for gba is horrible.
Does GBA works better on Recallbox? Because all of my GBA games on my GPI case doesnt start it keep exiting (neither theres a BIOS) thanks!
I guess, if better means it doesn't exit back to the main screen :-) I was able to play without a problem, it was a little slow, but worked :-)
is there any other way to copy games to device ?
It is really difficult to send a 600 megabyte game to the device with this method.
If you were running Linux, or maybe a virtual box of Linux then you could copy the files straight onto the SD card.
@@MavericksArcade really thank you so much. excellent.
I tried to install Recalbox with Raspberry Pi Imager, sadly none of my buttons are working. I can get the lights to flash when I press START + DLeft, but still, no buttons are working. Is there anything I can do?
Batocera has an image specifically for gpi case. used belena etcher and it worked perfect for me
awesome!
I had to get the version specifically for the case to have the right drivers :-/
Are safely shutdown script are automatically installed too??
yup :-)
Cannot get the controller to map properly, it wont allow you to skip past keys, and you have to manually shut it down. pile of crap recalbox setup
I had this problem when I tried to install Recalbox directly. However, I then tried the one specifically setup for the GPICase and that resolved my issues, including the safe shutdown scripts.
