Sure, i wait too until LE9 is in final release stage to upgrade. I m too old yet to play around with alpha/beta releases...had my time with since the first xmbc on the first XBox.
BUT there is room/demand for SX05RE, cause without it, there is no Emulationstation, with its cool skins and video preview. And there are people outside, like four friends of mine, which dont need Kodi and boot only your great Sx05RE releases to play vintage games. So please keep up your fantastic work! We love it here in Germany! -
I have a strange behaviour when my box is in standby. The box is connected to my Onkyo Amplifier and the Onkyo to my TV (all 4k - hdmi) my satellite receiver is direct connect to tv like my ps4. So if the 905x box is in standby, my TV shows me that no equipment is connected via hdmi CEC, the list is empty. I have picture on TV from my sat receiver but no sound over the Onkyo. BUT in that moment i fire the 905x box up, sound is coming and all equipment is showing up on my hdmi selection and on the cec menu on my sony tv. It feels like the 905 box behave like a Master in the line of connected equipment. Someone the same behaviour or a solution?!
thx

so.. after I made the changes listed above I can FINALLY see MAME roms ie: adding .zip to the extension list for both MAME entries in es_systems.cfg
I cannot see anything for FBA, or NEOGEO and there aren't even any extries for arcade, CPS1, CPS2, CPS3 in the es_systems.cfg file - can someone please help me out with the commands etc. needed on S905 to launch the, (plenty of info for raspberrypi - but those scripts don't help me at all).
Then it would appear the last issue I have is my joystick not being detected/ responding once I start a game - the joypad works fine changing menus and selecting games etc. in ES, but once I boot a game.. the joystick does nothing and I have to power my media box off to exit the game.
I am using a PS4 joypad connected via USB cable.
Thank you.
es_systems.cfg.zip here is my es_systems.cfg - maybe you can some lines copy and paste to make yours work ... or you take this and change only the path to the roms. Hope thats helps.
Greetz,
J.

I think that the video I tried to play is SDR
(I'm sorry... it is in italian)
Spazio colore: YUV
Croma subsampling : 4:2:0
Profondità bit : 8 bit
Bit/(pixel*frame) : 0.052I don't find the way to check it on my TV (Philips 55put6101). My tv doesn´t support HDR.
That your TV dont support HDR, could be the solution. Cause, like Kzaq writes in the first post, 4k and HDR is experimentel in the Kodi builds.

thanks for the reply ssc_jarod - I have like 200 files in each folder - fba, cps1, cps2, cps3, mame, arcade etc. none of those systems show up in ES. other systems like megadrive, nes, snes etc. do and they also have files in them.
Have you checked the es_systems.cfg? And if the system has the correct path? Here is a demo snipped of mine config so i remember here on work at the moment
:<systemList>
<system>
<name>dreamcast</name>
<fullname>Sega Dreamcast</fullname>
<path>/var/media/usb/roms/dreamcast</path> <- i have my roms on a usb drive (normaly here stays "/storage/roms/dreamcast")
<extension>.cdi .gdi</extension> <- have you all extensions correct here (e.g. mame there must be .zip)
<command>here stays the commando to start the roms</command> <- this command must at your current config correct filled
<platform>dreamcast</platform>
<theme>dreamcast</theme>
</system>
</systemList>
Hope this helps a little. Greetz, J.
PS: if this is your error, here is site that makes you the config, but you must also enter the correct <command> to start the roms!

the samba.conf.sample file is empty, so I copied the /etc/samba/smb.conf file to /storage/.config/samba.conf and edited it to remove picons and share the roms folder instead.
edit 1: I still cannot see the roms folder shared, the picons folder is still shared. testparm does not exist in the s905x build, it might exist in retropie.
edit2: forgetting smb for a moment - using WINSCP I've copied some roms (in their system folder) to the roms folder (which also contains the BIOS folder - correct?) and after ES reboots I can see the games and start them.
Problem - I connected my PS4 joypad and configured the buttons for ES, but when I select a game and it boots.. the joypad doesn't appear to be recognised from inside the game - as no button presses at all do anything, I have to physically power off the system as I cannot play or exit the game. Can someone please direct me to a good configuring ES for noobs, as youtube and google aren't revelaing anything much helpful to me as yet. Thank you.
EDIT3: I have /roms/arcade/, /cps1, cps2, cps3, fba, various mame folders and also /roms/neogeo/ folders but I cannot see any of these systems listed when I run ES. How can I get fba and mame to work please?
Hi,
can only repeat to your Edit3 point: If there are no roms in a folder e.g. your MAME Folder, than it will not apear in ES. You must min. 1 Game .zip in Mame Folder, than it will appear in ES. Tipp from me. Some old Arcade games wont work with Mame core, like 1941, 1942, ... For this games, you must use the arcade core. At the moment i am in work for change the configuration of Retroarch, that he uses for this games the arcade core.

I have the same issue on my Sony 65“ 4K with 4K Receiver … take a look, if you Play 4K HDR, if your TV says its really playing HDR. Cause thats happened with all my 912 boxes. I got 2160p but no HDR and than the picture looks crappy. On my 905 boxes my TV says HDR and the crap in Dark areas are gone... but on 905 boxes its the only 100mbit Lan thats make 4K with high bitrate unlookable. I got a lot of buffering...

With the current state of LE (regardless 8.x, 9.x) for S912 (H96Pro+), I do NOT see any benefits in running it on such box, in comparison to properly tuned Android 7.1.2 ROM.
In fact - I've recently switched back to Android and it suits my needs perfectly fine.
Just bare in mind - this is a special case (my case): H96Pro+ (S912)...
the ever epic battle apple vs android vs M$ vs linux 😆 just kidding ... what suits someone, suits him 👍

Most probably the risk of bricking your device during Internal install vs. no risk when installed to external memory
There are plenty out there that read all the warnings, go ahead anyhow, and then complain "this build bricked my device".
Thankfully, we don't seem to see them too often now (whether that is because most heed the warnings and run from external, or the installtointernal process is evolving, remains to be seen) but the risk is still there when installing to internal
Ok, but to take away the install to internal cause of some noobs is not a solution for me. In a car you also dont limit the speed to 50 cause of some so called racers in prevent of n Accident. If i or someone take the risk of install to internal, is my decision and if there is a problem, i must live with that or find a solution. And if something goes wrong, you can always boot from SD.
Sorry but this decision to forbid it, tastes for me like the politic of Apple, Google or M$ on their devices. And who wants Android as base for Mediacenter really?!😉
-
Dear developers, please keep the 'niche feature' in your 'community builds'
yeah i agree with you. What point could speak against to a install to internal on official AND community builds?
-
I've already tried!
The USB ports don't work. It works only the USB port on the back (next to the power supply).
Obviously all USB ports work perfectly on Android (pre-installed).
Thats strange. Cause i installed Kodi+Emulationstation and i had 2 Ports working with an usb stick with retro gaming roms and on the other usb port (on back) i had the controller dongle for the xbox360 controller. Maybe there a different layouts of the MXQ pro 4k going round... Sorry that i cant help..

Hi guys,
unfortunately three USB port dosn't work on my "MXQ Pro 4k" (Amlogic S905W) with Librelec.
I've used the "gxl_p212_1g.dtb" file.
How can I extract the ".dtb" file from the android firmware?
Is there someone who can help me?
Thank you so much.
kszaqYou must take this: gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb Device tree - work for me on my mxq pro 4K

Release 1.8.2 · shantigilbert/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub
It works fine on my device as far as I can tell.
yeah i am so excited 😆 works on my 905x like charm ... you did a fantastic job 💪 ... so happy i found you and your release for kodi and EmulationStation... THANK YOU 🙏 and greetings from Germany to you wherever you are 😀
-
The source code is already up to date with Kszaq. I will try to upload a binary tonight. just need to properly test it.
Many many thanks
… have a day off today, so when its up, i test it! THANKS -
Try this one. Worked for me on my ultimate gt1.

As a workaround, copy all of your folders, using coreftplite or similar. Get your friend to make a basic installation of kodi, then overwrite the folders with your folders.
Bear in mind, if you have a library of your media, on say a NAS it will be wrong.
Your could try using clonezilla or similar over the LAN

Cause it must be on the machine installed, were i want to clone the hdd (here the flash) in that case on the 905 box ... so i think i go at my friends box from scratch and install the sx905re from sd card image to internal and make all other changes by coping some xmls for emustation and kodi.
But thx anyway for helping guys
