Hi@all,is it possible to use this addon also with a ASRock Beebox N3150 wie LIBREElec?
Or have I install something different to be able to play PSX, SNES .... Roms with my XBOX 360 Controller on my Beebox?Sorry, but this is the first time, I'm trying to get an Emu working with LE.
Thanks for help!
This is just for pi. You can try escalade's awesome custom build:
LibreELEC
well i did step 2 and 3 already but i didnt overclock my pi 3 yet.I saw youtube videos of people playing psx and n64 totally smooth on retropie/recalbox. Is this not possible with that addon?
If yes, why?What are good overclocked settings for the pi3. i have 3 small coolers attached to it.
I run PSX in my Pi2 very smooth even before I overclock it a little.
In theory, performance should be the same in retropie, recalbox, lakka and gamestarter, since all of them use same emulator/cores, the only difference is the version of the core used, sometimes one distro updates its core and the other distro takes some weeks or months ot update it (recalbox). Sometimes gamestarter cores are ahead retropie's XD... So if you are experiencing performance issues you must take a look to your power supply, sd card and overclocking.
I recommend starting over here: Overclocking · RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup Wiki · GitHub
The error message seems clear enough, did you copy over the latest libfreeimage.so.3? What does "ldd -r /storage/.kodi/addons/script.gamestarter/lib/libfreeimage.so.3" tell you?
I tried to compile your fork but it always gives me an error about "readline". During the process it creates the libfreeimage file so I copy/paste it in my installlation with alpha 10 and ES works. I really get lost with all this libs issues...
About compiling, I can make emulationstation package without making whole image but when trying to make retroarch it gives me the same error as when making image.
1. try to overclock your pi.
2. if you are using Advanced(Emulator)Launcher, you can use context menu to change the arguments of each system. For PSX there is only one core. For n64 tehre are 2 cores but the selected one is the most optimized.
3. try following these steps: IARL Configuration · Issue #31 · bite-your-idols/Gamestarter-Pi · GitHub
Yes my tree is up to date with the latest alpha. "Doesn't work" is not a proper error report. Do you mean that you compiled ES with my tree and tried using it elsewhere? Or did you boot the latest build and get the same kernel panic as the rest (read the last posts)?
I've uploaded a new cleanly built 20161225 for the RPi, please test. No changes other than rebasing my commits on latest alpha10.
Until alpha 9 I included in my gamestarter addon an emulationstation binary from your build from some months ago. In latest alpha 10 it stop working due to this error:
storage/.kodi/addons/script.gamestarter/resources/bin/emulationstation: symbol lookup error: /storage/.kodi/addons/script.gamestarter/lib/libfreeimage.so.3: undefined symbol: png_init_filter_functions_neon
So I compiled a new emulationstation using your fork but it still gives me the same error when trying in LE 8 alpha 10...
one question, is your fork up to date with main LE?
Emulationstation stop working in new alpha 10 so I compiled a new version using your fork but it also does not work.
I am trying to use your build to test/update ESand LE8alpha 10 but it gives me panic error.
I see there is a very useful feature in this new web interface: local or browser playback.
I select the Local tab in top right menu, select a simple mp3 file but it does not sound in browser.
I am using LibreELEC 8 alpha 10 in a raspberry Pi and chrome and edge in a Windows 10 powered PC.
does anyone make it work in Pi's LibreELEC?
thanks in advance!
It looks like there was a recent commit to libreelec settings related to this. Fingers crossed it gets into the next build.
new alpha10 change:
I tries and i works ok with my 8bitdo controller but using Dualshock 3 this issue still happens:
- when "enable standby" option is active, screensaver doesn't works. It tries to start but kodi screen reactivates adn screensaver never starts.
yesterday Amazon Prime released in a lot of countries, including mine (Spain), I have a premium account but since in this addon only can select UK/USA/GERMANY/JAPAN it always give me this error:
ERROR: [Amazon VOD] Cannot complete request. (prs.norights.invalidgeoip)
So I can't make it run in my Pi with LE8 latest alpha release...
any workaround?
Hi there
I managed to get it working on my RPI2. It was actually very easy.
I also installed internet archive ROM launcher. I am having some issues with setting up the addon. I ran through the setup guide but whenever I launch a ROM the system says "working" and then stops without lancing the rom.
IARL is a little tricky sometimes, I rally don't know exactly how to make it work.
If you have followed this https://github.com/bite-your-idols/Gamestarter-Pi/issues/31]"guide" and read this instructions, only thing I can tell you is o take a look to the logs and contact creator in kodi forums or github (I think he is not over here yet.)
Please check your script and add the creation of the playlists folder, without it I was unable to scan my romsets, also after the database update.
I had to manually add this folder.If I try to scan my mame2003 or Fba romsets folders, retroarch freeze. Scanning all the other platform working fine. I have to understand why. I'll try to compile a new commit for RA and mame2003 core to see if the issue remain.
EDIT: I compiled But nothing. It freeze when I try to scan directly for retroarch gui a full romsets of mame2003 and fbalpha. Strange issue. It appens also to you?
Oh! what a strange issues about folders and playlists... I need to try bioth and will post results. Thank you very much for your report.
I haven't tested alpha9 for this bug. Did it fix it for you guys?
Still happens
Thx for the replay.
AEL does't support Jarvis? I Remember Yes jarvis, no krypton. But maybe I Remember wrong.About libretro cores: have you compiled it from the source code or they are grabbed from other build/release?
yes, it works in jarvis and krypton but it doesn't in previous ones, and gamestarter should work in openelec 6 and 5.
About cores, some are compiles by me, some from lakka and retroarch, some from escalade's build XD
Hi bite_your_idols,
I installed your last build (never done before). Nice job, really!!!
A little question. Which release of Advanced Launcher are you using? The old and deprecated one or Advanced Emulator Launcher -now on 0.9.4 - (GitHub - Wintermute0110/plugin.program.advanced.emulator.launcher: Emulator frontend and launcher for Kodi)? After installing Gamestarter I continue to see only my old Advanced Launcher addon 2.5.8.
in LibreELEC 8 version Advanced Emulator Launcher is included. Version for LibreELEC 7 and previous OpenElec versions comes with old advanced launcher since AEL is not compatible with kodi versions older than 16.
I was thinking about this solution but I'm not a bash expert so I decided to do it this way. At the begining I as was not able to understande how did you manage to invoke certain scripts. It works but maybe i will find some time to do it your way. I'm aware that i made it in a bit improper way.
dont worry, I am not an expert neither. If ot works, it is ok XD
about log, yes, everytime addon is launched log start over.
DONE:
I have changed /storage/.kodi/userdata/addon_data/plugin.program.advanced.launcher/launchers.xml Scummvm launcher toCode<application>/storage/.kodi/addons/script.gamestarter/resources/bin/scummvm.sh</application>

scummvm-1.9.0-raspberrypi.tar.gz
and unpacked to /storage/scummvm withCodecd /storage tar -xzf scummvm-1.9.0-raspberrypi.tar.gz
added from regular raspbianCodelibjpeg.so.62, libpng12.so.0
libraries into scumm lib folder (attached to the post). There is also libSDL2-2.0.so.0 library but scumm is hardlinked aginst this sdl2lib added to archive.Also you should edit /storage/scummvm/scummvm.sh to allow parsing arguments to main executable:
CoderPi3:~ # cat /storage/scummvm/scummvm.sh #!/bin/sh LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./lib ./scummvm $1
You have to use keyboard to quit this scummvm version. There is no bind to popup menu using joystick or i don't know any
I know that 99,99% of Gamestarter users will not need that but my son will not manage to save a game with RetroArch while he plays PuttPutt. He will certainly find S key on keyboard to save or L to load. Also now it is possible to play Secret of Monkey Island 2 - in liberetro port there is no way to pass copy protection screen
congrats! and thanks for sharing your work.
I can see you could edit gamestarter.start and pass gamestarter.sh scummvm parameter instead of creating both scummvm.sh and scummvm.start. You just need to include another clause in case:
"scummvm") echo '::Gamestarter:: -> launch SCUMMVM' >> $LOG_FILE
echo Starting up scumm >> $LOG_FILE
cd /storage/scummvm/
./scummvm.sh --joystick
;;with that is is so easy to include it as an optional addon installation and could be selected as default scummvm launcher from settings just as amiga one.
anyways, good work!!
I guess i will try to unpack raspbian deb and add scummvm files on my own. I guess i will only have to edit scummvm.sh inside script directory.
I think you will be missing raspbian libs in libreelec, but you can grab them also. If you finally make it run, please let me know and I could include it in gamestarter...
i'm sorry, gamestarter just includes libretro cores... if you want advanced emulation based on libreelec take a look to: LibreELEC
I have updated form 2.5.8 and AFAIR there were initail setup. Anyway there is no problem if i leave SNES, but problem exists on ScummVM and N64. BTW: scummvm liberetro port is useless - i can't find any way to open onscreen keyboard (and my usb does not work) so no copy protection, no saves in certain games etc....
In scummvm core it can happen, you're right, but in Glupen64 everything should run fine...
Please, comment in the github issue you opened in order to close it.
