Gamestarter: Retrogaming add-ons (RPi/Generic)

i've tried setting the locale in the /storage/.profile which now looks like this:

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8

Typing locale now gives me these results:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Unfortunately, i still get the same error when starting emulationstation

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

That didn't work...tried it also...There is an addon in Libreelec repo just for that called Locale

I can confirm that after installing the locale addon and changing it to en_US.UTF-8 on the addon's settings, emulationstation now runs normally.

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!

Hi,

I can confirm that this beta works on generic and Rpi 3.

Thanks.

Glad it worked for you too..also doesn't have to be en_US.UTF-8 only...mine worked on en_GB.UTF-8

I cant even install locale from libreelec repo.

It just says installation failed.

other libreelec repo addons allow me to install (chrome for example) just locale gives me installation failed

Thanks

Already tried that, it's the first thing I tried.

I'll open new thread, see if anyone responds.

Try this service.locale

hi guys.

what kind of machine do i need to use play! (ps2) and dolphin(gamecube) emulators?

i've tried on a nuc (Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-5010U CPU @ 2.10GHz), with 4GB memory.

play! - games are unplayable

gamecube - there is an annoying freeze every 30-40 seconds.

tried the same games on a friends yoga380 (i5, 8 gb ram). dolphin runs ok (no freezes at all), play! is still laggy.

other cores (atari800, snes, ppsspp etc ) work fine.

also, what's more important for the emulation (cpu/gpu/mem)?

yes of course. On LE 9.0.2 ES work fine.

After update to 9.2 I have this error.

Just tried mine tonight just in case after updating to 9.2 yesterday and it's working fine..I m on version 8.201.1...Rpi2

Try to force update all addons and rename the ES userdata folder and try again after a restart..

\\LIBREELEC\Storage\.kodi\userdata\addon_data\game.emulationstation

Also since LE9.1.xx ES needs Locale addon to work from LE repo..set Locale to your location example en_GB>UTF-8
