LibreELEC-RR 9.x [ Emulationstation | Retroarch | Pegasus | DolphinQT | Moonlight | Chrome | Spotify ]

    Again Retroarch starts libretro-dolphin while Emulationstation starts Dolphin standalone.

    libretro-dolphin =! Dolphin

    What is the output of aplay -L upload it.

    What is the content of your asound.conf

    What is the content of your advanced.conf

    If the you enter the correct output device the sound works for all emulators beside some edge cases like citra & nvidia cards...

    I have installed LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-RR-201847-b559485-Beta16.img.gz on a Samsung EVO 32GB MicroSD and running it on a Wechip V5 S905X based device.

    It boots fine and kodi works fine

    I have a Genuine Sony PS4 Bluetooth Controller and that is paired fine with LE. I also have a usb keyboard plugged in

    When I start Emulationstation it finds the ROMS and lists the platforms correctly. I have a snes rom, a sinclair rom and a c64 rom installed for testing.

    In Emulationstation both the keyboard and PS4 Controller work fine.

    When I launch any of the roms it fires up retroarch and runs the rom correctly, the music/sound is working fine.

    However both the usb keyboard and ps4 controller dont work inside retroarch.

    Please let me know what needs to be done to get the controller+keyboard working inside retroarch

    Also please let me know where should I put the ATARI5200 BIOS files. I put them in the /storage/roms/bios folder but it still says "Atari800/OS Emulation Halted"

    Thanks

    You have to start the atari800/5200 and set it to 5200 in it's core options. Start again & it should work.

    Can you disconnect your controller and run retroarch just with the kb connected to see if it this works? From my experience not input is recognized at all if the controller cfg file is wrong mapped. Can you state your detailed model number of the controller?

    Any chance of including parsec for s905? They have a build for raspberry pi, it should work with s905, right?

    Thanks for your work!

    Well I've only found a binary for RPi3 so maybe this one works too on other platforms but without the source code I can't compile it for AML based systems.

    5schatten It seems you can enable GCN 1.0 and 1.1 cards support in the amdgpu driver:

    AMDGPU vs. Radeon DRM Driver Performance On Linux 4.15 - Phoronix

    AMDGPU+RADV Linux Gaming On GCN 1.0/1.1, 25-Way Warhammer II GPU Benchmarks - Phoronix

    If it's easy to do it would be great to test that, because it means Vulkan support for these cards and maybe fixed audio issues!

    Unfortunately I can't do new tests on AMD GPU hardware until Christmas.

    Worth a try!

    Ok, my mistake i did not understand that, thnks for clearing that up.

    See attachments for output of aplay -L and the 2 config files. I renamed .conf to .txt so i can upload them here.

    [UPDATE]: i reverted the changes made in asound.conf and advanced.conf to set audio autoconfig.

    when i do in terminal:

    Command: #systemctl stop kodi

    Command: #pactl list short sinks:

    Result: 1 librespot_sink module-null-sink.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED

    Command #pactl load-module module-udev-detect:

    Result: 18 (dont know what this means)

    Command: #pactl list short sinks

    Result:

    1 librespot_sink module-null-sink.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz SUSPENDED

    2 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.iec958-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz IDLE

    (So i guess the audio device (Pulse ?) is released by kodi now or something)

    Command: dolphin.start

    When i manualy start dolphin and set it to "Pulse" as the Audio Backend, it now starts the game with sound. When i set it to ALSA it crashes again.

    When i set it to pulse without the steps mentioned above dolphin crashes... so maby kodi doesnt release the sound device or something.

    some logging from kodi.log:

    Please just enter the stuff I mention ;) At default the emulators & frontends use ALSA so it doesn't matter what PulseAudio detects or not. You can however set PulseAudio as backend in the advanced.conf Kodi normally lists ALSA devices & only uses PA for Bluetooth stuff.

    Well you want use your iec958:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 aka S/PDIF as sound output? Not HDMI or something?

    You have to start the atari800/5200 and set it to 5200 in it's core options. Start again & it should work.

    Thanks for the quick response

    1. Yes I have setup 5200 in the core options for the particular game. It still says no os rom. Will dig further and report back

    2. Once retroarch starts, i switched off the ps4 controller, then kbd starts working and I could go into the quick menu and change controller 1 to retropad-analog or kempston or vice and then turn on the controller again and then both kbd and controller work.

    The model number of the Sony Controller is CUH-ZCT2E

    Yes: S/DPIF

    Problem solved, i had to add this in asound.conf:


    pcm.!default {

    type plug

    slave.pcm {

    @func getenv

    vars [ ALSAPCM ]

    # Device name can be found using the command 'aplay -L'

    default "sysdefault:CARD=PCH"

    }

    }

    Thnx for your suport !!!

    Have you all bios files? Atari - 5200 (Atari800) - Libretro Docs

    Well I guess Sony made some changes so your controller is slightly diffrent & not recognized correctly. Can you reboot your system, log into a terminal & enter dmesg | paste then upload the link? I can try to check if they changed the vendor or product id.

    Well sysdedault is normally the analog output so makes no sense if you use the S/PDIF because that would normally be the 3,5mm audio jack.

    Code
    sysdefault:CARD=PCH
HDA Intel PCH, ALC892 Analog
    You use this? S/PDIF

    61oyWAGm4uL._SX342_.jpg

    Or this? 3,5mm audio jack (3,5mm Klinkenstecker)

    Here is the dmesg output

    Here is contents of bios directory

    EDIT : I found a /storage/.atari800.cfg file. I opened it and edited the following line and added the BIOS files there. I have only shown the lines that I edited. Atari5200 emulator works after that

    So you've got a PS4 slim & the matching controller? Thats what your system detects:

    Code
    [   62.754667@0] hid-generic 0005:054C:09CC.0003: unknown main item tag 0x0
[   62.756256@0] input: Wireless Controller as /devices/c11084c0.serial/tty/ttyS1/hci0/hci0:11/0005:054C:09CC.0003/input/input7
[   62.761057@0] hid-generic 0005:054C:09CC.0003: input,hidraw2: BLUETOOTH HID v1.00 Gamepad [Wireless Controller] on 10:d0:7a:af:3a:07

    So Retroarch would look for a controller with the input_vendor_id = "1356" & input_product_id = "2508"

    sony-playstation4-dualshock4v2-controller.cfg

    sony-playstation4-dualshock4v2-wired-crystal-controller.cfg

    https://github.com/libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig/blob/master/udev/sony_playstation4_dualshock4_500-million_limited_edition

    I have no clue why your controller is not working the because there are already 3 config files with matching IDs. Maybe it's because the name differs :/

    So you could try to add a file Sony-PS4-DS4v2-Controller.cfg to \\phoenix\Configfiles\retroarch\autoconfig with this content hastebin which is basically this one sony-playstation4-dualshock4v2-controller.cfg with different input_device name.

    You can also try this: Dualshock 4 crazy-fast, repeating controls - Lakka - Libretro Forums then you need something like WinSCP and delete the files in /tmp/autoconfig before you create your config file.

    Quote

    The AMDGPU support for GCN 1.0/1.1 remains experimental but with recent kernels can be easily enabled via the radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 kernel command-line switches for GCN 1.0 GPUs or radeon.cik_support=0 amdgpu.cik_support=1 for GCN 1.1 GPUs.

    and good news KMS is fixed in retroarch!

    I'll include the patch then :thumbup:

    To change the command line you have to enter

    Code
    mount -o remount,rw /flash

    and then edit this file nano /flash/syslinux.cfg there should be a line like this:

    Code
    APPEND boot=UUID=5BCA-2C2F disk=UUID=921055bd-701b-44db-8b13-81e926d61283  quiet tty initrd=/edid.cpio drm.edid_firmware=edid/edid.bin video=HDMI-A-1:D

    and there you have to add your commands.
