Gamestarter: Retrogaming add-ons (RPi/Generic)

Hi All.

I'm currently testing LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-9.1.501 and installed latest RetroArch & EmulationStation available in Gamestarter repo. Similar to previous poster, neither RA or ES would launch. I updated RA to game.retroarch-9.178.15.zip as suggested and now RA working fine.

Still unable to get ES to launch. Any help with this? Thanks.

Check your ES "es_systems.cfg" in Userdata\addon_data\game.emulationstation and make sure that <path>matches the location of your roms folder</path>

otherwise check your ES_log.txt and see what s going on or post it here maybe someone can help you.

Hi there,

Quick question, does the generic build include the dolphin emulator/core

Thanks

Rob

Cheers that answered my question

Thank you very much.

As above a few post emulationstation is also not working for me on le9. 1.501 generic.

Both retroarch and emulationstation booted me back to kodi on launch.

Updating retroarch to 9.178.15 fixed the retroarch issue but emulationstation does not launch, just boots back straight to kodi.

Thanks

Same here Emulationstation not launching

error is

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'
  what():  locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid
Aborted

yes, it seems emulationstation is reaching the end of its way in gamestarter repo...

on the other hand, I am trying to make retroarch work in RPi4... here is the latest addon beta:

game.retroarch-9.178.15-4.zip

This beta must work in Rpi 2, 3 and 4... (also Generic devices) but I didn't test it by myself yet...

Testing is needed ( or ... RPi4 needed XD )!!!

enjoy!

So does that mean there will be no more emulationstation in your repo?

Thanks

OK,

Thanks for letting me know

You need to set LANG=en_US.UTF-8 when launching Emulationstation, I believe that should fix the runtime error.

Do you have any idea where do we have to edit?

Or is it something you set during compiling..thanks

It's an environment variable. I set it in the systemd service that I run ES from, don't know how it's launched in this addon.

Thanks...we'll wait for bite_your_idols perhaps this can be done too.
