Gamestarter: Retrogaming add-ons (RPi/Generic)

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

    Code
    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:

    Unfortunately, i still get the same error when starting emulationstation

    Code
    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

    Hi,


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


    Thanks.

    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.

    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

    Are you on RPI?

    Quote from Mario77

    Not sure then sorry...on my rpi it just installed and worked...try to force update Libreelec repo and try again.

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


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


    Thanks

    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)?

    Hello,


    I have migrate my librelec to 9.2 on rpi4.

    Retroarch work fine.

    But emulationstation don't work ...

    I have this log :

    Code
    lvl2:     EmulationStation - v2.0.1a, built Jan 24 2017 - 15:30:02

    lvl2:     Creating surface...

    lvl0:     Error creating SDL window!

        Could not create GLES window surface

    lvl0:     Renderer failed to initialize!

    lvl0:     Window failed to initialize!

    Any idea ?


    Regards


    Are you running LE on 4k resolution?

    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..

    Code
    \\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
