It’s well known the bluetooth on rpi sucks and just can’t handle audio over a certain bitrate. Lots of threads about this before.

Never used BT audio +RPi, but I've read the audio jack is crap too. Btw I guess you can get rid of this patch LibreELEC.tv/pulseaudio-0900.03-eliminates-lags-after-bluetooth-packet-loss.patch at le82 · escalade/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

IMHO it doesn't really do what it should if you compare it to LibreELEC.tv/pulseaudio-0900.03-eliminates-lags-after-bluetooth-packet-loss.patch at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub & it looks like pulseaudio v12.2 is already patched.

@Cael

Do you use your Wifi while you play music over BT? Can you disable it & try again?

it doesnt show in ES, (it tells me there's No Systems when launched) so wondering How amiberry's installed if its not included by default.

If the /storage/roms/amiga  directory is empty Amiga won't be listed in ES. So place your games in there and make sure the file extension is one of these: .fs-uae .adf .adz .zip

I rebased my fork & updated pulseaudio to v12.2 so you can try BT audio and report if there's any improvement.

Make sure your bios file is a valid one & located in /storage/roms/bios

I can only guess why the saturn file is missing but I suspect you need a correct bin & cue file to make it work.

Loading ISOs

Beetle Saturn needs a cue-sheet that points to an image file, usually an .iso/.bin file. If you have e.g. foo.iso, you should create a foo.cue, and fill this in:

Code

FILE "foo.iso" BINARY   TRACK 01 MODE1/2352      INDEX 01 00:00:00

After that, you can load the foo.cue file as a ROM. Note that this is a dirty hack and will not work on all games. Ideally, make sure to use rips that have cue-sheets.

If foo is a multiple-disk game, you should have .cue files for each one, e.g. foo (Disc 1).cue, foo (Disc 2).cue, foo (Disc 3).cue.To take advantage of Beetle's Disk Control feature for disk swapping, an index file should be made.

Open a text file and enter your game's .cue files on it, like this:

Code

foo (Disc 1).cue
foo (Disc 2).cue
foo (Disc 3).cue

Save as foo.m3u and use this file in place of each disk's individual cue sheet.

I haven't tried to play music over BT since the overall antenna config of my Pi3 is crap. Bluez v5.50 is up-to-date but the LE9.0 pulseaudio server is quite dated, maybe I'll give a recent version a try. But IMHO I have no clue why it stutters. Does music with lower bitrate play fine?

Amiberry is not a libretro-core so you have to start it with ES.

As far as I can tell it is complete otherwise it wouldn't make sense to remove the WX gui. They vastly improved it in the last months and since some commit has broken the game list in WX for me last year and it's finally working again with the QT gui so I'm glad to have it. Anyway considering the size & compile time of a MAME2016 core I wouldn't really care about QT

Yep I missed it or well let's say I thought it refers to some X11 or Kodi stuff But I'm still having problems with this script because CEA 31 sets refresh rate & resolution. My RPi is connected to a HD ready display so I would need CEA 19 (720p@50Hz) instead. Forcing resolution & refresh rates leaves me with a blank screen in this case. I experienced the same with the uae4arm script at first.

Thx for the hint about the core specific config -> I will check this out.

SN30 Pro and yea its on 1.26, it works Fine in Android Mode (Start+B), thi sis just the first to give me any prob in Windows/XInput (Start+X)

1. For what do you need Xinput?

2. Does your SN30 PRO work in Xinput with other Kodi versions?

Anyway this is more likely a 8bitdo firmware related problem.

Quote from escalade

I will switch back to original Dolphin it does perform better than the libretro core. I use a DS4 and it auto configured no idea about original wiimote.

Check out these commits & you should be able to build the latest Dolphin with QT support.

About your recent KMS updates. You basically exported the KMS stuff to a kms_on/off function and call it if needed even when you're not using a libretro core? But what about the 50Hz stuff located in retroarch.start? Doesn't this interferre with NTSC games? Well personally I would'nt mind that because I'm a european and rely on PAL stuff but what about the rest of the world? Afaik NTSC games won't run perfect at 50Hz?

Cael

Wel what kind of 8bitdo controllers? You've updated them to the latest firmware? I use SN30 & SF30 PRO controllers myself and both work flawlessly. I also use the latest SDL2 lib with updated gamecontrollerdb and a recent version of GitHub - libretro/retroarch-joypad-autoconfig: RetroArch joypad autoconfig files so that shouldn't be a problem.

Have you tried Start+B or Start+Y? I use these because Xinput is crap for Unix systems.

I haven't changed anything particular to docker since I have no built in Docker support. And since you've updated from escalades LE8.2 build what I neither recommend or can support I can't really help you.

If you need Docker just use the Kodi Docker Add-on. Anyway it it reboots in failsafe mode grab the log and upload it.

New builds are online!

• updated kernel to 4.17.10 & 4.14.58
• updated mesa to v18.1.5 & vulkan-loader to v1.1.81
• switched Herdingers Emulationstation fork to Retropie fork v2.8-DEV
• updated Retroarch dependencies (core-info, assets, joypad-autoconfig...)
• updated libretro-cores to latest versions
• added libretro-dolphin / removed libretro-dolphin-launcher
• updated Dolphin to r5.0-8490 & added refresh rate adjustment to start script for PAL60 games
• replaced mame-2003 by mame2003-plus / replaced mame2014 by mame2016 -> you need a recent romset!

Check out the features post for details.

Well I replaced my DS3 controllers by 2 8Bitdo SF30 PRO controllers because DS3 and bluetooth didn't really work reliable for me. But feel free to give it a try.

Maybe it improved over time and/or bluez is now able to work flawless with them.

You've enabled Bluetooth in LibreELEC settings? LibreELEC Settings [LibreELEC.wiki]

Your NUC comes with an internal Intel® Wireless-AC 3165 card that should work out of the box.

I said delete & apply the update again. Escalade uses different start scripts and usually es_systems won't be update too.

Anyway look at my first post how to get some logs. If you know how to get it retroarch.log would be the thing I would check out first.

Btw did you read the FAQ and have installed all asset files?

husk123

Sorry my glass sphere is off for maintenance so I can only guess what's wrong. Delete the es_systems.cfg located in Configfiles/Emulationstation and apply the update again. Then at least PPSSPP should work again because the recent version won't work in KMS mode.

About "WII" I guess you mean Dolphin does not start. Well without logs I have no clue what's wrong.

Last but not least ALT+ESC closes Fluxbox windows so yeah it works. At least for me. And others. So what is still running after you hit ALT+ESC?

It should work fine if you update a Milhouse LE 9.0 build. Reverting or updating LE 8.2 builds can also work but I experienced some weird bugs like not reachable repos.

blob810

I uploaded a new build, it's in the 1.12.3 subfolder

thx I'll give it a try `

Update escalade

Works for me either with or without lua on RPi so your build should be fine too. So what's the deal about the video previews? I know someone asked for it in the past but is it worth the hassle?

You ditched Dolphin in favor of libretro-Dolphin -> does RA automatically map wiimotes then? I've tested it with Mario Kart DoubleDash but have no clue how to proper set up inputs for wii.

It's mainly a "cosmetic" thing. So not a high priority for me. I'm not the greates script writer so I just thought someone has a hint how to handle this.

I'll give it a try later. Currently I'm struggling to build ES-retropie, to be specific the vlc dependency, for RPi since the lua package is missing. Is this still a thing for RPi projects? The lua package was removed years ago remove package: 'lua', moving to unofficial · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv@b62af51 · GitHub

Scraper works fine -> also for FB-alpha!

UPDATE:

I removed the lua stuff and it builds fine for RPi.
