RetroELEC Kodi+Wayland+Emulationstation+RetroArch (x86/XU4/RPi)

    I am using version 7.95.1 on my HTPC Asrock Beebox N3150 with integrated RTL8723AE Wifi Chip.
    I have massive problems with my wireless internet connection and connecting to my NAS.
    Sometimes it doesn't even show any avaible wifi networks, on other days I can connect, but it's really slow, or I get time out errors.
    Any idea what I can do about it?
    I have heard, this might be a linux related driver problem...

    how can i use the scraper from sselph ?
    I believe that scraper has a option to add metadata to a dir (amiga and psx) because each rom is in a different folder because of multiple dics

    thanks in advance
    and i really love your build m8!

    Edit : I dit found a workaround but then i need to change the xml by hand and change to <folders>, but still leave one <game> otherwiste it won't work at all

    It's CLI only and no special automation in my build, so you'll have to check the doc on sselph github.

    For anyone interested:

    I managed to compile the latest reicast for RPi2, could someone test the binary I've uploaded on my gdrive?

    escalade

    Ok thanks
    Reicast core on generic works perfect, i added gb and gbc to your system list and i am busy with dosbox and scummvm now
    Iinstalled the mq7 skin, it works like a charm, but i had to use advanced launcher to run chrome and emulationstation
    Tried other theme's for ES but the one that comes with the package is the best i think

    Hi, I have tried it on rpi3 with the following result:

    Emulator runs fine. I managed to run Crazi Taxi (Very playable) and Cannon Spike (not playable, too much graphical glitches and defects). I didn't manage to run Armada and Atari Anniversary (probably not yet on compatibility list


    For the controller config I have used this py script:

    reicast-emulator/reicast-joyconfig.py at master · reicast/reicast-emulator · GitHub
    and generated config stored in /storage/.config/reicast/keyboard.cfg (of course you can use any name you want)
    and then pointed in /storage/.config/reicast/emu.cfg to the proper controller config:

    [input]
    evdev_device_id_1 = 2
    evdev_device_id_2 = -1
    evdev_device_id_3 = -1
    evdev_device_id_4 = -1
    evdev_mapping_1 = /storage/.config/reicast/keyboard.cfg
    joystick_device_id = -1

    where evdev_device_id_1 points to your game controller in /dev/input/eventX
    and evdev_mapping_1 points to stored controller mapping
    the reicast-joyconfig script helps you to identify proper eventX

    ./reicast-joyconfig.py
    0: Љ Mini keyboard (/dev/input/event0, usb-3f980000.usb-1.2/input0)
    1: Љ Mini keyboard (/dev/input/event1, usb-3f980000.usb-1.2/input1)
    2: PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (/dev/input/event2, b8:27:eb:7b:56:53)
    3: PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller (/dev/input/event3, b8:27:eb:7b:56:53)
    Please enter the device id: Traceback (most recent call last):


    I have also created the necessary directory tree structure:
    /storage/.local/share/reicast/
    /storage/.local/share/reicast/data

    and placed dreamcast bios files to /storage/.local/share/reicast/data :
    dc_boot.bin dc_flash.bin

    Good work Escalade

    Edit : found the problem : sound volume was set to the minimum... But I did not change it myself ?

    This is issue with the game controller.
    Sometimes the analog sticks are stuck in the position which decrease the volume to minimum. So you can either increase it back with controller and then turn off/on controller to reset the position or configure mapping in the way to disable volume controll by analog stick.

    Wow, that makes sense ! Thanks !

    does anyone succeed with the picodrive emulator for MEGADRIVE/SEGACD/MEGA/CD on RPI2/3?
    Any rom/image file I test I just see the black screen. I use latest picodrive_libretro.

    Hi Escalade,

    I have try your reicast bin.

    Do you think it's possible to change default bios directory to the bios general directory instead of /storage/.local/share/reicast/data/ (i did not found if there is a possibility to change it in emu.cfg) ?
    So I put dc bios in /storage/.local/share/reicast/data/

    I add this entry in es_systems.cfg :

    Code
    <system>
                <name>dreamcast</name>
                <fullname>Dreamcast</fullname>
                <path>/storage/roms/dreamcast</path>
                <extension>.cdi .gdi</extension>
                <command>/storage/reicast.rpi2.bin %ROM%</command>
                <platform>dreamcast</platform>
        </system>

    I also add (try to) my xbox360 controller mapping :
    evdev_mapping_1 = <path to mapping file>.cfg

    but it seems to be rewritten at each start of the emulator so I do a chattr +i on emu.cfg so controller OK.

    Marvel vs capcom 2 start but is not playable the sound is crackling and fps is low (to compare reicast in retropie allow to play mvc2 just some 2D glitch to note).

    I'll check If there are specifics parameters used in the retropie reicast config as I haven't change anything in this run.

    See you.

    Sure, a symlink would do the job.

    I've uploaded "amiberry-sdl2.bin", which is a new fork of uae4arm that uses sdl2. Could someone take it for a spin and let me know how it works?

    I'd say you give up quick, but sure use whatever works for you :) Maybe your card is an older geforce 6 or 7 series? I removed the nvidia legacy drivers from recent builds to save some space didn't think anyone used those. If I include them them the generic build is at a full 512MB. As for the wireless issue, surely there are hints in the system log. LibreELEC uses connman and so should support most wireless configurations.


    New build 20161115:

    Code
    - Added back nvidia legacy drivers (this will probably need to go to make room for other things as I've maxed out 512MB for generic at this point)
- Enable SMB2 and SMB3 support for the kernel CIFS module
- Updated kernel to 4.8.7
- Updates to glupen64-libretro, retroarch-joypad-autoconfig, libretro-database, snes9x2010-libretro, scummvm-libretro, mgba-libretro, mesa and retroarch
- Fixed an issue with nmon

    Is it possible to add nvidia legacy again? Or at least dig up the old version that had nvidia legacy? Built an older pc for retro-gaming for my cousin who just took his PhD and wanted to give him something he can enjoy :)

    Big thanks for your effort into this project by the way!

    Quote from escalade


    Legacy is included, perhaps your GPU needs the 304.xx series?

    could very well be so, i believe it's an old nvidia 9400 card. Would it be possible to include that, or do you have some older version somewhere?

    getting xorg failed to start when trying to boot from usb.


    Also, i have another pc running your build fine, but how do i use the scummvm emulator and dosbox?

    Bios in bios folder, then test it. Bcracers works fine with plus_gx for Sega CD, pico for 32x not so much... ill play around with it some more...

    es_systems.cfg

    Definitely do not buy the Wintel. Wireless and bluetooth is not working, there's random crashes and the BIOS is very buggy. If you want a cheap device, the Tronsmart Ara X5 Plus works good. It has minor issues as well but wifi/BT works and it's a lot more stable than the Wintel.

    If you want a real upgrade, get a NUC.
