4.0-rc2 images are available for testing.

BuZz

I posted this earlier (it was 4.0 beta1 then), but missed a couple of things in the new image generation that needed to be fixed, so I had to take it down. Hopefully all major problems are sorted now.

@BuZz

Just to let you know, you accidentally used the old link for 4.0-beta1 instead of the new 4.0-beta2 link.
I don't know if this was intentional, but I just wanted to bring this to your attention.

@RetroPieNerd the link is correct

BuZz

Might be cached, or you checked before I fixed it - I'll reload the forum just in case :-)

@BuZz

Thanks.

Sweet! Can't wait to give it a try

eddyman1us

Does it support the gasia/shanwan ps3 controller ?
I can help with that if needed.

glennlake

@BuZz OK... I downloaded 4 beta 2 for pi3 and put it on a 64gig sd card. For a quick test I install centipede for Atari 2600 and using my logitech f310(the only controller I have) and it looks good. Will keep you posted. :-]

BuZz

@eddyman1us no changes since rp 3.8. driver needs installing from drivers section. I don't have this controller to test though

What does the new splashscreen look like? (I will be away from the pi for a couple more days)

glennlake

@lilbud The splash screen is clean and simple and the first time it boots(actually the second time) all you see is the retropie folder with config files. I very smooth setup! Your folders don't show until your games are installed.

@BuZz Update. I went into the raspi-config file and set up my location(as i'm in the colonies:-)) and nothing changed there. I think that is controlled by raspian but it's good to know it still works.

glennlake

@BuZz I just installed kodi from retropie and it works like a charm! I am able to control it using my logitech f310. So far, so good.

BuZz

There is a new firmware/kernel out - Please can people sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade on the new image also and give the new kernel a test.

herb_fargus

@BuZz I'll give that a go as well. To anyone else there are some users reporting inconsistencies with multiple xbox360 controllers if anyone else can help verify that issue that would be good so we can get a fix upstream if it really is a kernel or firmware based issue

orbitall2k

There is no longer supported to VideoPac Odyssey 2 ?

glennlake

@BuZz OK... I've upgraded the kernel and firmware and no glitches yet. Is there a list of things you would like us to try? I'm not that big gamer and I don't do much, but I would be willing to test different configurations. I just thought of something. Could you make up a list similar to the list for reporting trouble on this forum? Maybe a testing report to fill out? Forgive me if you have something like this on the wiki as it just came to me.

@orbitall2k said in 4.0-beta2 images are available for testing.:

There is no longer supported to VideoPac Odyssey 2 ?

It's available from optional packages

BuZz

@glennlake I don't think we do have a checklist or anything. People all have different uses, so hopefully if people just do what they normally do, any issues will be noticed.

I am interested if the new kernel update makes any difference to those with trouble with 2x 360 controllers and xboxdrv.
