Removing Kodi is not an easy task, if you want to modify your own version without kodi I recommend you use the Lakka release, which already has Kodi removed, you will only need to add EmulationStation.

Honestly I am not sure what roms works best.

Pd. si hablas español (lo supongo por el ARG al final de tu nombre), mándame un mensaje privado.

Hi niabi! im new on this world and I decided to start by a x96 tv box with a s905x and your build work great!

I need to know how can find the /.emulationstation/themes mentioned above via samba in order to change the ES theme, the .emulationstaton folder does not appears in mi storage folder.

Also I need to know what mame or FBA roms packs do you recomend to run, I tried from MAME32 plus 0.83 but the games names appears with the rom file name, do you recomend the ver. MAME0.106, is this correct? (i asked before to start to downloading 69gb of data)

Again Niabi, thanks for your work and I be awaiting for a answer

The FBA romset should be the one for the latest FBA (not MAME).

if you can't find the themes folder on samba you could try the "root" folder then go to the emulatiostation and theme folder from there, I will check it for the next release.

minor issue:

I can get bluetooth controllers to connect but after powering them off and back on again, they will not auto reconnect (8bitdo SNES30 v4.0 firmware, Wii U Pro Controller, Gamestop brand analog controller). I have used other builds of LibreELEC (for my Pi 3 specifically the build by escalade) where these same controllers auto reconnected without issue. Is anyone else experiencing this? I tried looking into it a bit last night but couldn't find any definite reason yet. Thought I'd reach out just in case someone already has solved this. I'll keep looking.

unfortunately I don't own any bluetooth controller to test but I will see what I can find.

With my NEXBOX S905 MXQ Pro 4K I tried :

gxbb_p201.

gxbb_p200_1G_100M_RealtekWiFi,

gxbb_p200_1G_mxq_pro_4k.dtb,

gxbb_p200_1G_100M

These four dtb work on SD or USB and I can't see any difference. But only p201 allows the internal installation with no problem (do it twice).

The big problem is that LE is unstable (SD or internal), it crash/freeze after 1 minute, 1 hour or one week. It's so erratic, mostly on live stream or simply browsing the GUI.

All the versions (7, 8, testing...) behave the same. I only use wifi or usb tethering maybe there is a bug with network or hardware driver.

Android never crash like this with kodi. One big diff: it's lollipop kernel on android.

So, I'm back to android on this nexbox, but I keep an eye on LE !

Have you tried the temperature sensor disabled version? you are describing what happened to me when I used the regular version.

Quote from Doroteo

I mean, that I configured the emulation station parameters to show the neo geo console but without success , thanks a lot

you need to have the roms inside /storage/roms/neogeo/ and the correct bios needs to be in /storage/roms/bios/

Quote from perkz

Awesome build man!

I was wondering, is there anyone to also have the internet archive ROM launcher also be part of this build? Also to have a choice of what the system starts with (emulationstation, lakka, kodi). Thank you for everything!

I have no experience with the Internet archive ROM launcher, sorry.

You can select which start firsts Kodi or Emulationstation by editing the "autostart.sh" file.

Hello,

Any chance of releasing the latest version with kszap 8.0.2e?

Thanks for your time! Working very good

Yes its coming very soon, probably tomorrow.

Quote from kszaq

If you ar compiling after disabling temp sensor, you have to disable CONFIG_AMLOGIC_SPICC_MASTER as well.

Thanks for the reply! I will try that.

kszaq Maybe its on my side but when I try to build the 8.0.2e I get this error while compiling linux

I have some problems with "Enter" key on keyboard.

I can't use it iside Lakka menu, and standard "A" and "Start" key not work there also.

When I start a game I also can't control by keyboard.

If "enter" key could work I could change input method.

How to solve this?

does your keyboard work in emulationstation?

Quote from saltanar

I installed my roms on external usb drive but I had to try many times to start retroarch because emulationstation normally was unable to find roms.

I tried scandisk but the drive is ok. There is a way to fix this problem?

Roms in USB need to be inside a folder called /roms and a file called sx05reroms needs to exist inside, at booth it will look for this file and set the appropriate paths.

Quote from iCanuck

Has anyone successfully got Retroarch working with Xbox 360 Controller & any of kszaq's builds (7.0/8.0)?

Not sure what you mean... Are you installing RA as an add-on? xbox controller works fine in both, RA and Kodi on Kszaq's builds

Quote from matt77303

cool, is there a guide to building the image?

or is there a way to 'install' retroarch on the normal builds?

Matt

In ubuntu, to build use:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install gcc make git gcc-multilib lib32stdc++6
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash (select no, to install bash as the default)
git clone -b no-ES https://github.com/shantigilbert/LibreELEC.tv Sx05RE
cd Sx05RE
make image PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm DISTRO=Sx05RE

or if you can wait a bit more I can build it for you, it takes a few hours tho.

Quote from saltanar

I can't edit and save on es_system.cfg from samba with latest version

I will need to check that, I didn't have problems last time I tried.

Quote from matt77303

niabi

is the any way to run lakka directly from your build? I prefer to use lakka over emulationstation and would rather have a shortcut straight to that?

Matt

I made another version without ES but I have no release for that one, you would have to compile it.}

GitHub - shantigilbert/LibreELEC.tv at no-ES

No standalone versions of Reicast, Advancemame or PPSSPP included tho.
