Hm, everything seems ok until the crash, doesn't it?

I found scummvm error... this core is not included in my addon, so you downloaded from retroarch buildbot with "update cores" option in menu, well, that core is not working in rasperries...
I have copy the one compiled by escalade and uploaded to my repo, you can download from here (with my mame2010 working experimental core):
libretro-part3.tar.gz

It run for me, but I didn't test any game yet...

Quote from kidhazy

I used script.gamestarter-v2.1.0-OLE.zip

I just checked /storage/.config and the directories and files appear to be there. (Though there mainly config files)

I'll look at your 2.1.1 version to see if the logfile gives any hints. Where will it write the logfile to?

Thanks.

Edit: oops, the 2.1.1 URL got a 404 error.

Try again, now it is public pre-release.
The log will be in /storage/.config/gamestarter.log

Did you download the right addon version for your SO?
Retroarch, emulationstation and advancedlanuncher files are in /storage/.config/ check if they are there...
In the next release I will include a log file to debug, you can check it out: script.gamestarter-v2.1.1-OLE.zip

Quote from BlockABoots

To be fair it also does it if i just load RetroArch up on its own so i dont think its anything to do with your add-on directly!

but it can be related with my retroarch compiled binary... I need to check with escalades build to compare,bu I am on holidays!!! XD

Quote from escalade

You don't need any games, when you start the scummvm core without any ROM you are supposed to get the scummvm menu.

I see...

sensenmann, about scummvm, I want to try by myself but I don't know which is the game file format needed to use, I have some old scummvm games from my old psp emu but rertoarch didn't recognize them...

BlockABoots, when I have some free time I have to spend some time in LE8 in order to test the addon well...

Quote from bornagainpenguin

So to make sure I'm getting this right...my bios files go to this directory:

Code

/storage/emulators/bios

The question I have is do I unzip the bios files or not?

yes
GitHub - libretro/Lakka: Deprecated. Use https://github.com/lakkatv/Lakka-LibreELEC instead

It works here, no crash. Not a good comparison though, as I'm running a recent git version where it might have been fixed.

Now I see what these Lakka variables are for. They are being put in the default retroarch.cfg as playlist_names and playlist_cores, so you won't be asked what core to use for each game.

Thanks for the clue... There are some bad paths in my retroarch.cfg so that can be the error, I replace them and it seems to work ok.

hansolo77 you can replace your retroarch.cfg file for the one included in my github retroarch package:
retroarch.tar.gz

if you have your own customized config file you can edit it manually and exec find & replace with any text/code editor and change
"storage/emulators/retroarch/cores/" for "storage/.config/retroarch/cores/" in playlist_cores, near the end of the file.

Sevren68 you can try to launch it using ssh in order to see the output log and discover what is failing (in my next update I will include a log text file for debugging). Also you can try to download it using retroarch settings menu, "add content" option or something similar...

Quote from escalade

Not at home atm, but can test tonight. I don't use RetroArch as a frontend so not familiar with the playlists feature. Mind detailing how to reproduce?

In retroarch xmb menu, the latest option in the right is "add content" or "add folder", you select a romset folder (eg nes) and it scans that folder, then a new menu item will appear in the right with the icon of the system and the list of games. When you select one game you have to choose the default emulator for that game, then it should launch the game but it crashes... If you can launch the game the problem is with my compilation...

thanks!

Escalade, we have found a bug in my addon's Retroarch 1.3.6, after creating a playlist if you try to launch a game, after selecting the core it crashes with segmentation fault... LibreELEC

can you, or anyone with this build, try this?, just to know if the bug is from retroarch's or from my compilation.

thanks is advance!

Quote from hansolo77

I posted over on the RetroArch forums about it. The solution that worked for me was to go in after building a playlist and configure the playlist to use a specific core rather than have it display compatible ones on loading a new game. Not sure what caused it, because this is a fresh/clean install. But.. it worked and that's good enough for me!

Yeah, I don't know why but the segmentation fault comes when choosing a core for a game from the list... I tried in my compilation for LE8alpha and also happens, but in Retroarch 1.3.4 it doesn't...

I see the workaround they give you in libretro forums and it seem to work (settings > playlist and manually associate the playlist(s) with a core) what I wonder is: is that a 1.3.6 bug or just an issue of my compilation's??

Quote from Sevren68

EDIT2: bummer, Quake no longer works (i backed it up before deleting the ports folder) .. just wondering if i should run Gamemaker pi ports again ? (might mess everything up ... but i'll give it go)

After copying back quake folder and quake sh file you have to give this last file permissions... you can do it over FTP (right click and select all execution/reading permissions) or over SSH (chmod 755). Try it.

By the way, a kodi forums user is continuing Advanced Launcher work, is making a fork of this addon and adding some improvements... I will stay tuned...

I think the easiest way is:
- Install Gamemaker pi ports from Gamestarter addon settings.
- Then delete the games (/storage/emulators/roms/ports/) and everything inside /storage/lib and /storage/lib_off folders.
- Download this zip and uzip it: emulationstation_OE6.7z
- paste the two files in /storage/lib
- restart and say your prayers... XD

Then, emulationstation should work.

Quote from Sevren68

Apologies for this silly question ... it doesent bother me too much, but

"Emulation Station" launcher does not work in OpenELEC 6.0.3 .... Gamestarter just Crashes and returns to Kodi

"Retroarch" launcher works fine ... (but is not as "noob friendly" as Emultation Station)

Sure, ES worked fine when i was using LibreELEC (but it went back to OpenELEC Isengard 15.2 .. because i like running a Skin that's broken in Kodi 16)

Just wondering ... why ?

Thanks

ES is not officially working in gamestarter under OpeneELEC 6 and previous, just OE7/LE7 and above... but, some rapberry pi user told me a workaround (in spanish)...
Raspberry Pi • View topic - Gamestarter: addon para retrograming en Kodi

basically, you have to download the missiing library libstdc++6_6.1.1-1+rpi1_armhf.deb, unzip and paste both files into /storage/lib folder. For this you need the hacklib addon that is installed with GameMaker Pi ports, but you can install it alone from here: GitHub - bite-your-idols/script.hacklib: Toggle on/off additional OpenELEC libs using hacklib script with an addon.

it is a little tricky, thats why I dont included in addon updates, but I can tell you it works.

good luck!

Quote from hansolo77

I posted on GitHub that the playlist for Game Boy didn't work anymore. I then said Nevermind because it was doing it with others as well. Since I've reinstalled everything fresh, the problem should be fixed, but it's not. If I ssh into my Pi and run RetroArch directly, I can see the debug log output. Every time I try to launch a game from ANY playlist, RetroArch crashes with a "segmentation fault." If I load a core first, then load the ROM into it, they play fine. It's as if the playlists aren't set up right. I don't know if I should post this over at the RetroArch forums or not. Since this is using a customized version of RetroArch...

I need to replicate this because last time I used a playlist it worked ok...

Quote from Sevren68

yeah, it was a bit like "Groundhog Day"

"Groundhog Day" bug fixed and uploaded to github.

sorry for the mistake...

By the way, the latest retroarch undo/redo savestates feature is awesome!!

thanks, I saw that in github yesterday, when I come back home I will fix it.

Sevren68, can you please test this?:
-install from zip again your OS addon version
- before launch it exec this ssh command:

sh /storage/.kodi/addons/script.gamestarter/resources/bin/install.sh

Paste here the output


Thanks.

New addon version release!

- RetroArch 1.3.6
- CaveStory, Quake and Doom libretro ports included.
- mame2003-libretro core update including Hiscores and config file for in-core settings menu.
- New crt-pi shader for retroarch.

enjoy!

Hi thanks for this nice addon,

I have installed everything according to online howto. But i cant start retroarch; entering the following:

Code

systemctl stop kodi
/storage/.kodi/addons/script.gamestarter/resources/bin/retroarch -c /storage/.config/retroarch/retroarch.cfg --menu

gives out:

Code

/storage/.kodi/addons/script.gamestarter/resources/bin/retroarch: error while loading shared libraries: libavcodec.so.57: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

using putty shows there is indeed no such directory

Code

LibreELEC:~/.kodi/addons # ls
advanced-launcher-2.5.8          metadata.themoviedb.org
metadata.album.universal         metadata.tvdb.com
metadata.artists.universal       packages
metadata.common.imdb.com         script.gamestarter
metadata.common.musicbrainz.org

Then i tried using EmulationStation (ES). ES started and i could use my DualShock3 and under nes see the game super mario bros3 but couldnt start it . Any suggestion what went wrong. I tried this for three times, even reseting the whole system didnt help. I am using the latest libreelec 7.02. (Linux: Kernel 4.4.13)on Raspberry Pi2.

did you download the correct addon verision (OLE not LE8alpha) ?
