Sx05RE v1.8.6 Emulationstation+Lakka+Kodi

Quote from Asxetos

Well, it's looking good. I adjusted mine to boot straight into kodi.
I think you should also modify it without the autostart.sh script (for problematic monitors like mine).
The advantage is that the user has the possibility to adjust resolution-refresh from kodi first, and then emulationstation displays also ok.

Here is the device files,

Ps
take a look at this, i think it needs the corrections i made so standalone ppsspp compiles ok .

Thanks for this top-quality work...

As more people test it I think we can come to better solutions, since on my device kodi is not needed at all i figured it would work for all.

Thank you for sharing the ppsspp package! I am working on getting advmame to compile as well, I added it on the new version but as binary, I think it looks way better than fba but I am having a terrible time making a package so that it compiles, maybe you can look at it?

Edit: oh I see what you did, you fixed the package, I thought you made it compiles from source [emoji14]

Thanks again

Sorry forgot, alex's libreelec binary addons repo doesn't work, perhaps change it to kzaqs?

Yeah I will do that. I am actually trying to port everything to the kszaqs build, I am grateful to have found AlexELEC because it motivated me to create this, but I think he is to focused on getting other things working more than a better libreelec as a whole.

Hi Niabi,

Your work is very interesting! Thanks for it.

It's very close to what I'm looking for. I'm using Kodi regularly and I have a separate Retropie setup.

I'm searching the better way to merge them on s905 and your build fullfill that. Personally I prefer start on kodi and then change to ES.

Is it difficult to modify the boot order?

A few posts back I explained how to do this, you just need to modify the autostart.sh script via ssh or samba share.

I changed the remote.conf but the "OK" button doesnt work. Other buttons on the remote work properly. When using kszaq's libreelec it does work. I have a nexbox a95x s905x btw.

EDIT: Nvm figured it out nyself i just downloaded keymap editor from the repo and remapped my key. Now i will try installing it to internal

Glad you got it working

@ Niabi

Could you please take a look at this: EmulationStation compile error ?

I managed to correct many compile errors before this, but now i am stuck .
It must be a math library link problem but how?

Any advise is wellcome...

That is a problem I was having with Kszaqs build, which I assume that is what you are using.

you need to add the -lm option to the compiler, I made a patch for it. see attached.

Btw that is not the only problem you are going to have

After many hours trying to fix all the compiling errors and issues I successfully ported everything to the Kszaq v8 build, it all compiles and it seems to work, except emulationstation, which has a problem with a PNG library (or freeimage, can't remember) plus all the emulators don't have any sound, I assume its because v8 handles the sound differently or something.

I was going to try to install them manually and see if its something on my compile options or if its something on the build itself, but I was very tired to keep going (I did spent more than 8 hours or so fixing all the compiling errors since I was doing it all on trial and error)

You are mainly interested in the games part of the project. For me the Kodi part comes first.
So i thought i can try to "add" to Kszaq's kodi build instead of the other way around .

If it is freeimage you are having issues with, try this : , i run into the same problem and i adjusted your patch. Freeimage compilation was then successful.

Thanks for the emulationstation patch will try it asap.

Yeah I found out about the -std=gnu++98 for freeimage, as I said it compiles and all, but emulationstation complains about something either a PNG thing or a freeimage thing (can't remember exactly what) and it doesn't run.

And I totally understand your point, most people seem to want Kodi, but for that you might want to try and use the add-on made by pinguy in the freaktab forum ([LibreELEC] Bolt Ons! AceStream & EmulationStation + RetroArch/Libretro for S905/S905X devices! - FreakTab.com) it will probably be easier for you in the long run, since you can just install it over any LibreELEC build

But if you do manage to get all of the changes working on the Kzsaq build, please do share!

Edit: actually I can see the same problem on the Add-on I posted, you can see the error there, it seems to be something on LE 8

There is a saying here, "We want the pie untouched, AND the dog with a full stomach" which is at least hard to accomplish.

Your patch is a no-go, still the same errors. I also tried the -lm flag (in different parts of the code, and also unsuccessfully). I wonder if it should go in a higher level (libreelec config files).

I'll just keep trying... (and take a look at the addon you pointed). Thanks!

Edit. At least Jokerz addon is working. Some corrections needed, but games play...

hmm I'll see if I changed anything else on the code and I will post it.

here is the problem I changed the emulationstation back to the retropie branch

PKG_NAME="emulationstation"
PKG_VERSION="b851f91"
PKG_REV="1"
PKG_ARCH="any"
PKG_LICENSE="GPL"
PKG_SITE="https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation"
PKG_URL="https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/archive/$PKG_VERSION.tar.gz"
PKG_SOURCE_DIR="EmulationStation*"
PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET="toolchain systemd SDL2 boost freetype curl cmake:host freeimage eigen vlc libpng"

I think we need to put this option on libpng

-DPNG_ARM_NEON_OPT=0

edit: attached is a patch for freeimage that will fix the problem with ES

now we just need to fix the audio

Quote from Asxetos

And perhaps attach the new patch?...

oh it seems the edit doesn't attach the files,but here it is
