hi all,

ok looking in my DEFAULT es_systems.cfg from niabi's 1.7 install, the first 4 systems are (and I have made some comments with ### around them):

<systemList>

<system>

<name>fba</name>

<fullname>Final Burn Alpha</fullname>

<path>/storage/roms/fba</path>

<extension>.ZIP .iso .ISO</extension> ### should have .zip in there are well ###

<command>/usr/bin/retroarch -L /tmp/cores/fbalpha_libretro.so %ROM%</command>

<platform>fba</platform>

<theme>arcade</theme> ### shouldn't this be fba instead of arcade? ###

</system>

<system>

<name>neogeo</name>

<fullname>NEO・GEO</fullname>

<path>/storage/roms/neogeo</path>

<extension>.ZIP .iso .ISO</extension> ### should also have .zip in here ###

<command>/usr/bin/retroarch -L /tmp/cores/fbalpha_libretro.so %ROM%</command>

<platform>neogeo</platform>

<theme>neogeo</theme>

</system>

<system>

<name>mame</name>

<fullname>MAME</fullname>

<path>/storage/roms/mame</path>

<extension>.zip .ZIP .chd .CHD .7z .7Z</extension>

<command>/usr/bin/retroarch -L /tmp/cores/mame2003_libretro.so %ROM%</command>

<platform>mame</platform>

<theme>mame</theme>

</system>

<system>

<path>/storage/roms/mame-advmame</path>

<extension>.zip .ZIP .chd .CHD .7z .7Z</extension>

<command>/usr/bin/advmame.sh %ROM%</command>

<platform>mame</platform>

### missing <theme>mame</theme> ? ###

</system>

Es_systems.cfg is basically made for the systems I play and "support" directly, I know this might sound bad, but since this started as more or less a personal project I hardly ever needed to add other systems.

However I have no problem adding a es_systems.cfg with all the options available if someone makes it.

Now the reason they are 2 mame entries there is because one is for AdvanceMAME and one is for the MAME included in Retroarch

Hello niabi.

I took some time to do further test on this compilation problem.

So I did some tests on 2 other linux machine (ubuntu 16), and I reproduced the problem on both machines.

Code

make[1]: Entering directory '/SX05RE/build.Sx05RE-WeTek_Core.arm-1.8.2/retroarch-assets-40866a8'
make[1]: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/SX05RE/build.Sx05RE-WeTek_Core.arm-1.8.2/retroarch-assets-40866a8'
Makefile:9: recipe for target 'release' failed

If I modify back to

Code

PKG_URL="https://github.com/libretro/$PKG_NAME/archive/$PKG_VERSION.tar.gz"

and comment PKG_GIT_URL it works ...

... but I can't do that for every libreto package (problem is the same for all libreto packages)

So at this moment I'm stuck

Last (weird) thing : I remodified the package.mk file for assets, commented PKG_URL line, et reactivated the PKG_GIT_URL line, saved ... and then it worked for that package.mk !

I really don't understand what happen

I will take a look at this, but at the moment I will not be home for a few days so I can't do anything until u get back.

Quote from Danfozzy85

I'm too looking for help! Exactly the same screen. Got all my roms setup as described in the 1st post.

Es can't find your roms, if you are using a USB make sure you have the file sx05reroms. And make sure the roms are inside a su folder for each system (e.g. NES, SNES)

Quote from gizmomelb

yes. I am a noob, but I know how use SSH and winscp and vi and none of those methods worked.

I have since found an ext2/3/4 driver for windows - but I haven't had time to try it as yet (need to reboot to install).

I just thought it odd I could not edit the smb.conf file to add the roms folder - especially after niabi said they were going to add the roms folder to the auto shares back on page 5.

That was for the older version, when the new libreelec got released I redid everything from scratch and I forgot to add the smb.conf (specially since I never use samba) but it will be added on the next update.

Quote from gizmomelb

thanks you so much niabi for maintaining this build - but I am a total noob and have some issues sorry.

I tried to connect via smb from my windows box and I can see all the folders, but no ''roms'' folder.. so I putty into my system and try to edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file - but I cannot save it as it is read only. Ok, I'll sudo.. oh no I cannot sudo.

how can I change the smb.conf file so I can see the ''roms'' folder please?

my main PC is windows, so I cannot access the file system direct on the SD card. Thank you.

I must have forgotten to put it on the smb.conf when I moved to the new version, I will fix it on the next few days.

I am not sure you can access the smb.conf file from windows, sorry but in the meantime you can use a USB drive, create a roms folder on the root and put your roms there, separated by system also put an empty file called sx05reroms where the roms are located e.g. /roms/sx05reroms

It still should not give you any problem, I recently compiled it from scratch (had to for 1.8.2) with no problems. Why do you think that is the problem? Did you test it?

I have the same error when I try to compile with command:

make image PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm DISTRO=Sx05RE

Thanks for your response niabi.

I tried creating an oem package in wetek_core project, but it didn't work...

So, for the moment I put sx05repackage depedency in the kodi package...

Launched make again, and retroarch-sx05re started compiling ... but I have a new error !

Compilation stops because retroarch-assets folder is not cloned/downloaded , and so I get an error "no makefile" found for retroarch-assets

What could be the reason ???

In fact I don't have any message of cloning retroarch-assets-40866a8 whereas retroarch-sx05re-b724952 was cloned OK

maybe it's because retroarch-assets is in libreto package, which has not been donloaded because first compiled package in sx05re is retroarch-sx05re ???

any idea ?

Try cleaning all the the retroarch-assets-xxxx directory from the build and sources directories.

And other type of error when I try the S905_1GB:

The 1 GB version is not working properly, sorry.

if you want to compile it for 1GB revert this commit

init: decrease SYSTEM_TORAM_LIMIT to 768MB · shantigilbert/LibreELEC.tv@f2e3371 · GitHub

This is something on your end, not sure what it could be, maybe your roms are not in the correct format, compression, headers are missing, etc, etc.

After launching a SNES rom, go into the Retroarch menu, then manually run a NES rom see if it works, it could just be a problem with your ES configuration.

Quote from chuneault

After testing the new release.. SNES rom work find but NES (Nestopia Emulator) didn't work... do you test NES rom with 1.8.2 build??

could you elaborate? "didn't work" does not help us find a solution.

s905_noram work with all by box s905x with 1 gig of ram, Thanks

I am glad it did

Quote from chataigne73

Hello niabi

I fixed my problem with libcec, and now compilation went OK

But there's something strange : it seems only libreelec and kodi are built (no emulationstation, no retroarch ...), and my final image is only 110MB.

Did I miss something ? I used:

Code

make image PROJECT=WeTek_Core ARCH=arm DISTRO=Sx05RE

Edit : I checked and sx05re folder is here in my packages folder ... but it seems it is not compiled

You need to actually call the sx05re package from somewhere

like I did here:

LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at Sx05RE_8.2 · shantigilbert/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

Since there is no oem package for the Wetek_core maybe you could try recreating it, or just call the package from another package that does get build.

Also, could you post what did you fix to make it work ? so that I can implement it on my build.

Quote from chuneault

Yes I have change the DTB file. My box is x96 box s905x 1g.. I have tested with 2 different box and I have the same problem only with this new release!

Please try the s905_noram file I just uploaded.

Quote from chuneault

ok thanks.. your device have 2g of ram?

Yes

That error seems to be present on low RAM devices, I will try to compile a version with the -noram option, but don't expect it soon as my laptop is very crappy and it takes a long time to compile from scratch.

Quote from chuneault

I try the version 1.8.2 and always said no space left on device on boot... but 1.7 work very well!! Did you know why??

What device are you using ? did you put the correct DTB (it changed from 1.7 to 1.8)

Quote from chataigne73

Hello

If I understand well your project is only for s905 boxes ?

Because I have a s812 box (Wetek Core) which is in the project list of your code (projects/WeTek_Core). (this box is supported by libreelec team)

I tried to compile but have errors for libcec

thank you

At the moment, all my changes are only for S905(x) as its the only device I have. Some people have made it work on other devices, but I cannot test it at all, sorry

The reason those folders are there is because its a direct fork from Kszaq's build.
