This is working fine Thanks!

Well from my past experience scraper is not really suitable for large iso's because it uses file hashs to identify them. Also start to rename your roms to common names like this Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (v1.00).iso Anyway I would get UXS spent some time to set it up and use it to scrape games.

And since the legacy API of gamedb is down Legacy API down · Issue #244 · sselph/scraper · GitHub Legacy API Shutdown - TheGamesDb.net any service that relies on this API won't work until this is fixed.

Thanks i will try this later tonight.

This great😁

One question: what location do i need to put my python scripts?

I assume /usr/bin is read only.

Well good question I never tried to run any python scripts... you can try to run them like a any other command /full/path/command.py and you'll see if it works. Otherwise maybe something like python /full/path/command.py will work

5schatten i'm trying to start a dolphin game from my kodi skin (aeon nox silvo).

I tried this ----> sh /usr/bin/dolphin.start /storage/roms/wii/MarioKartwii.wbfs from the CLI and the game is starting.

But when i'm putting this line in my skin for i.e submenu the game wouldn't start.

But /usr/bin/frontend-emulationstation.py from skin is starting fine

What is the difference between starting ES or dolphin game trough costum skins?

Am i'm using a wrong command or is it just not possible starting dolphin games direct from skin?

Thanks!

You need to adopt this Python script for your needs LibreELEC.tv/frontend-emulationstation.py at libreelec-9.0-rr · 5schatten/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub since Kodi is probably not able to start shell scripts.

About this RR_AUTOCONFIG_SOUND=false, yes I disabled autoconfig before edit the asound.conf. And I wasnt using any kind of headphones, external speakers or the HDMI output on the notebook, I was just using the internal speakers.

Well I have no clue how the internal speakers are attached to the output device so that's probably the reason why it did not work.

Quote from Drarkklain

Error on speaker-test: surround21, surround41, surround50.

No sound on speaker-test: all the hdmi ones.

All the other ones worked on Kodi and on speaker-test but they didnt on ES, it's unbelieveable.

After all this, I tried to change for PulseAudio in the "advanced.conf", then it worked on ES, but on Kodi I needed to keep in the default option.

When I was using the version beta15a I didnt have this problem, do you know any reason for this problem to happen?

Thank you!

Well all in all it's up to the user to chose the correct audio output. You've disabled the autoconfig and set RR_AUTOCONFIG_SOUND=false before you've manually edited the asound.conf file? If PulseAudio works it's fine since it supports more features anyway and it doesn't matter what you select in Kodi if you don't use the autoconfig.
But again you use some kind of speakers if you don't use HDMI sound output? External speakers connected to an audio jack or internal speakers of your notebook?

5schatten in installed latest build and i noticed that the scraper in ES can't find games anymore.

any chance to fix this?

Thanks!

Scraper no longer working · Issue #516 · RetroPie/EmulationStation · GitHub

You can use Releases · Universal-Rom-Tools/Universal-XML-Scraper · GitHub to scrape or Scraper · RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup Wiki · GitHub the latter is included in my build & scraper -scrape_all should work fine. I use UXS myself and it also works fine if you set the correct paths. My config looks like this for example:

Quote from Drarkklain

Output device in Kodi is "ASLA: Default (HDA Intel PCH ALC269VC Analog)"

I think I'm making some mistake, i see no reason for it isn't working.

I've added two examples to the FAQ, have you tried any other device in Kodi too? sysdefault:CARD=PCH for example works for RPi but normally you have to chose something else for Generic builds. If you've tried systems beside your notebook did you use external speakers what was your output device?

Anyway you can try to switch to PulseAudio in the advanced.conf what might detects the correct audio device then.

You could also use trial & error:

this works for me & outputs some pink noise on every channel of my 5.1 (5+1=6) system.

speaker-test -D hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 -c 6

So you could replace these vars with appropriate ones of your setup and try until you find a working one.

Well what is your actual output device in Kodi? Of course you have to chose the correct one first.If it didn't work on any platform I hardly believe that you've entered the correct device.

For example if you use a HDMI output you probably have to set hdmi:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 or probably front:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 for an audio jack.

Great libreelec build. Thanks!

Would you consider add ePSXe into Generic build? That would be awesome.

Since ePSXe is proprietary & closed source it won't happen. I have no clue in what environment it's build and have no intentions to fix this by building compat libs all the time.

Build RC4 | 201901-c30d584 is online for Generic

• updated to latest LE9.0 upstream
• updated Nvidia driver to Long Lived Branch Version: 410.93
• updated several libretro-cores
• updated dolphin & citra
• updated vice to v3.3
• reworked PrBoom / TyrQuake / 2048 / MrBoom for ES -> delete your es_systems.cfg before you update
• added emulation RAM disk template to spare some SSD/SD card wear & tear
• completely reworked mupen64plus standalone -> superseeded by m64p -> delete your old mupen64plus config dir before you update!
• added mupen64plus-ui-console -> <command>/usr/bin/m64p-cli.start %ROM%</command>
• added initial first run settings -> delete your old advanced.conf before you update!

I'll update/add some new stuff to the FAQ soon.

Thank you very much just installed this build and audio work fine now.

But i still have issue with dolphin that i can't set backend en the adapter and GC controller through the dolphin ui.

This isn't working for me either.

Are these settings applayble in the dolphin-emu.ini? or maybe in some other config files?

Thanks!

Check out section IX. Configuring a Custom xorg.conf in my FAQ.

Well ES & Pegasus are just a frontends so once you quit an emulator you fall back to them. Retroarch is a frontend and a framework for all libretro cores. If you map the exit button input_exit_emulator = "ralt" to a free button on your keyboard / joystick / gamepad / whatever RA will instantly quit and either return to ES / P-FE or to kodi if you've started RA directly.

Controllers like the Sony PlayStation3 DualShock3 can utilize the "PS" button sony-playstation3-dualshock3-controller-usb.cfg#l29 to open the menu for example.

My "special" key on my gamepad opens the RA menu and if I want to stop it I'll return to ES. Anyway it's not possible to deal with all emulators without a keyboard so I've also a Rii Mini i8+ in reach.

Hi there, this is my first post. I wanted to complement you on the work done for LE 9.0 RR. I just installed it for the first time about a week ago as a Christmas vacation project. Thus far it's working quite well on both a standard dual core x86 PC and an ASUS chromebox CN60, so hats off to 5schatten and other contributors!

I've been trying to optimize the user experience and one thing I haven't been able to overcome is the exiting of games back into ES using the joystick. I can exit properly into RA using whatever hotkey I set up within RA itself. From there I can quit RA and that sends me back into ES. It gets the job done but I know I can do better.

I can also exit straight into ES using the keyboard right Alt key (AltGR) but the goal is to be keyboard free. This is the exact functionality I'm looking for but just need it via joysticks. This also provides me hope it should be possible...

A couple other notes:

• I have select and start operating nicely within ES itself. I've also changed the RA hotkey to something other than start+select but that didn't help.
• I'm using Sony dual shock controllers, standard PS1 controller, and even a Logitech Dual Shock clone. Behavior is identical between them.
• I'm running the RR-201851-1acbb17 (Generic.x86_64) version.
• Options within es_input.cfg are pretty minimal. Select and hotkeyenable can be configured there but it didn't seem to help. Although the keyboard hotkey: <input name="hotkeyenable" type="key" id="27" value="1" /> is operational. Both my hotkeyenable and select are id="8" for the joystick. Removing select didn't make any difference either.

A lot of my research on the subject turns up Retropie configurations but unfortunately not much on ES as a standalone (with just RA and no Retropie).

Any advice is much appreciated including a confirmation that someone/anyone actually has this working in their setup to confirm it's at least possible.

Well I'm not sure if I got your point but if you want to use libretro cores without a keyboard you can. You need either a gamepad with analog stick buttons then you have to press both of them the same time to open the retroarch menu. Otherwise it's probably possible to map the exit button to anonther button which isn't used by any game.

I use 8bitdo SF30 Pro controllers & can map these buttons as I like

AFAIK you can't map button combinations to the exit button so for example pressing select+start to exit RA won't work. If you use gamepads/joysticks that have no "spare" buttons you're probably out of luck.

And something similar for S912 is?

...not available. Maybe in the future if someone supplies me with a S912 device and once it's GPU cores are supported by mainline kernel drivers. But I guess until this happens there are plenty of cheap replacements available so it won't make any sense to spend time on this.

This build should bring back the audio system to life! Marciano  Samui

Uploading a new generic build with kernel 4.19.13 but working Docker/PCSX2... ofc not for Nvidia users I have to deal with that later. Will take some time since I'm powered by a wodden modem ISP german Telekom but maybe it'll finish this year

Hi

Great build,

But I can 't use directly from zack morris (IAGL) addon to launch retroarch without other frontend.

Well "The Internet Archive Game Launcher (IAGL) will launch Games from the Internet using Kodi" something like this is not supported by me.

Anyway there is a Wiki 1. Setup · zach-morris/plugin.program.iagl Wiki · GitHub so follow these steps to set this up

Well looks like the Linux Kernel devs screwed up the ALSA audio system in a certain way. 143591.html and need to fix this first. So I'll try to build a "compat" build with kernel 4.19.x again & upload this. It will probably screw up Docker again so no more PCSX2 but better sacrifice one emulator than the whole sound system for now.
