Cool, thanks for the feedback. My NUC D54250WYK runs OK except for some games (Tekken for example) that run a bit slow. God of War played OK though. Dolphin actually seems to run smoother, so guess the older 32-bit code base of PCSX2 isn't very well optimized or the PS2 is just harder to emulate. Would be interested to hear feedback from those with more powerful Intel CPUs, contemplating getting a NUC7 or maybe even the older Skull Canyon if I can find it at a decent price.

I noticed that I got an "illegal instruction" when trying to run PCSX2 on my Cherry Trail Tronsmart Ara X5. I'm installing PCSX2 from the archlinuxcn repo, I'm guessing they built their package optimized for a higher CPU. This could be remedied by rebuilding the package, but I don't feel like maintaining that.

OpenELEC: Linux distribution

LibreELEC: fork of OpenELEC

OpenVPN: VPN software included in both distributions

You could do that too and put it into /storage/.config/sysctl.d/ipv6.conf to have it set each boot.

Add ipv6.disable=1 to /flash/cmdline.txt.

Indeed, fixed kodifreeze uploading soon.

You should have read the release notes. Remove your old /storage/.config/samba.conf and reboot.

Fixed

20170907:

packages/oem: add pcsx2 helper files
emulationstation: add ps2 in es_systems.cfg and create romdir
packages/oem: stop kodi completely (but in the bg) in kodifreeze.sh to free up m
emory
busybox: make it possible to specify mount options for /storage during init
libnfs: update to 3ba2a2c
SDL2: update to f315493
pulseaudio: update to 11.0
kodi: Fix keyboard input for international keyboard layouts/keymaps when using plain Linux input layer (e.g. LibreELEC on Raspberry Pi): - allow input of unicode characters - map mode key ('Alt Gr') to right Alt key - fix euro currency sign
btrfs-progs-system: update to 4.12.1
samba: ensure new properties are populated on upgrade

PCSX2 is here The intel-core-avx build has been updated with an actual working version and the Generic image should be up soon as well. If you are updating to this build run the following in a terminal to update Emulationstation:

cp /usr/config/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg /storage/.config/emulationstation

Then put bios scph39001.bin (USA/NTSC) in your /storage/roms/bios and roms in /storage/roms/ps2. You can change bios and plugins by manually running /usr/bin/pcsx2.sh to get the GUI and configure from there. There's also the possibility to ALT+TAB while inside a game.

As always, a keyboard is handy to use emulators. The DS4v1 is autodetected and works (even rumble), although I couldn't get a second one working properly (also tested onepad-legacy). See my comment on a similar issue on their github. If anyone manages to fix it let me know. Probably not an issue with other gamecontrollers.

My community build has Linux 4.12 (better support for the Cherry Trail SoC), Mesa 17.2 and is compiler optimized using -O2. You could optimize it more by using -march=silvermont but I don't offer builds with that option. In general, Cherry Trail has not been a high priority for Intel and thus the older "stable" kernels are behind when it comes to support.

Not yet. 20170907 for intel-core-avx is out though. Put your roms in /storage/roms/ps2 and bios files in in /storage/roms/bios then you're all set (scph39001.bin USA is the default). Also you need to edit /storage/.config/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg or copy the default one from /usr/config/emulationstation.

Note that the Docker addon is a requirement, and first time launching a PS2 game will take some time as my container will be downloaded in the background.

Coming very soon to an Emulationstation near you

I see the problem, Kodi needs to be rebuilt after the last libnfs bump. In the meantime you can hack it like this:

mkdir -p /storage/.kodi/addons/hack/lib ; ln -s /usr/lib/libnfs.so.11 /storage/.kodi/addons/hack/lib/libnfs.so.8 ; systemctl restart kodi

You have of course read the instructions on the first page?

And why would you need to mount it?

how_to:update_libreelec [LibreELEC]

The tar file is obsolete with LibreELEC as you can upgrade with the image file.

20170902:

ppsspp-libretro: update to fcf95be
libnfs: update to df94ae9
mesa: update to 909f2b6 (17.2-rc6)
qemu: update to 2.10.0
exfat-utilities: properly remove fuse dependency from configure scripts
cmake: update to 3.9.1
libgcrypt: update to 1.8.1
linux: update to 4.12.10

Both builds are cleanly built. Nothing earth shattering, ppsspp has been synced with upstream I believe.

Indeed, I played around with it before: emulationstation: switch to retropie version · escalade/LibreELEC.tv@2057100 · GitHub

I ultimately decided against it as it added like 40-50 MB to the image with the added ffmpeg2 dependency. Now that we have Zstd compression I might reconsider, although I don't see video previews as a killer feature. It's cool and all, but at the end of the day I'm not sure the added size is worth it for a distro like LibreELEC.

I've uploaded a build with the Dolphin issue fixed. Can't reproduce the TS issue, DVD ISO playing fine here.
