Only systems with roms are available.

ace310 · August 24, 2017 at 8:02 AM

Sorry, but this maybe already answered but can't find it.

Does this build support Chrome on Rpi 3? I tried it, but can't find the Chrome App anywhere. Am I missing something?

Thanks.

Thanks for notifying me, a fixed build 20170824 is uploaded

You need to follow the naming convention in the roms folder.

ace310

No, it's not possible either as Chrome does not exist for ARM. You can however run Chromium or other open source browsers through Docker.

Np thx for building so fast... Will test tonight.

Just a few question :

- i don't know if it's already asked but can i switch my Official Libreelec 8.0.2 installation to this one without erase my disk ?

I have a dual boot with win 7 in my hard drive on a Zotac ZBOX ID91 and don't want to do it again.

- I prefer to use Aeon for skin, it's old but i don't really like estuary, how i can add the emulationstation link to it ?

- I see in the Github that emulestation have this core :

Display Spoiler

Code

Out of the box Emulationstation will look for roms in /storage/roms/(amiga|c64|mame|fba|gba|dreamcast|n64|psx|psp|saturn|snes|nes|nds). BIOS files should be put in /storage/roms/bios. Configured input controllers are DS4 (bluetooth) and keyboard. Configuration is in /storage/.config/emulationstation.

Can i add other core like in the batoceralinux or recalbox ?

**escalade** · August 24, 2017 at 3:51 PM

1. Yes.

2. Create a shortcut that runs /usr/bin/emulationstation.sh

3. Yes, but you'll need to configure Emulationstation manually. Install RetroArch cores into /tmp/cores.

Is there a possibility that you add Citra to your build?

Thought so. Thanks.

Quote from BlaBla1973

Update my system to : 20170823 generic

Emulatorstation won't start..

error log:

emulationstation: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2-2.0.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I get the same error on Version devel-20170824 generic.

~~Where's the file meant to be?~~

EDIT: on the 20170824 system I found:

/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so (** Link to /usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0)
/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0 (** Link to /usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.6.0)
/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.6.0

On an old 20170530 system I find:

/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so (** Link to /usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.1)

/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.4.1

/usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.1 (** Link to /usr/lib/libSDL2-2.0.so.0.4.1)

It looks like 20170824 is missing the libSDL2-2.0.so.1 link ??

Cheers.

BlaBla1973 · August 25, 2017 at 9:37 AM

After 20170823 i downgrade to 20170820(?) , then i upgraded to 20170824... No problem with emulationstation ..

**escalade** · August 25, 2017 at 10:00 AM

BlaBla1973

Probably not as it requires Qt5 which is quite large. You can run it in Docker.

kidhazy

Sounds like you haven't updated properly, 20170824 is fixed I have tested here and confirmed by BlaBla1973

Killerdog · August 25, 2017 at 2:26 PM

Hi,

i make a new install into my Zotac XBOX ID-91 (Haswell proc) because when i try tu update with your build, it say my partition is to small.

so i make a new usb key with LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20170824.img.gz (that is not haswell optimisez) and after setup my system put the LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2-devel-20170824.tar in Storage/Update for updating to haswell optimised build, but Emulationstation is not loading.

chrome is working good.

Spotify is working (i need to change audio output).

I hade some core but i see you group some video game system :

ex: Genesis that's open .mdx .md .smd .gen .bin .cue .iso .sms .gg .sg .zip

all this extention correspond to Genesis, Sega CD, Master System and GameGear curiously you don't had 32x for Sega32x

is that's correct ?

this is my own es_systems.cfg after hading some core and category:

but emulestation don't load

**escalade** · August 25, 2017 at 2:42 PM

Read the first post.

Killerdog · August 25, 2017 at 2:45 PM

i have this in /var/logs/emulationstation.log

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::runtime_error'

what(): locale::facet::_S_create_c_locale name not valid

Aborted (core dumped)

sorry i don't understand

Edit : i remove Locale extention and now it start to launch with a short black screen and return to kodi.

now i have :

ConfigPath /storage/.config/emulationstation

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

in /var/logs/emulationstation.log

**escalade** · August 25, 2017 at 4:09 PM

You don't need locale extension my build has locales already set up. The build is working as confirmed by others, do a clean install.

Killerdog · August 25, 2017 at 4:43 PM

ok, so how can i do a clean install with the tar file ?

**escalade** · August 25, 2017 at 5:32 PM

Never mind, I can reproduce here now. I was mistakenly running the regular version not the haswell I'll do a clean build.
