Thanks for this! I tried implementing it on Amlogic but I failed (no sound at all), I think I am missing something, but I do like the elegant solution!

On the RPi you don't even need an asound.conf, dmixing should already be enabled. To avoid ES/omxplayer locking the card, I had to use these settings:
Code<string name="AudioCard" value="sysdefault" /> <string name="AudioDevice" value="PCM" /> <string name="OMXAudioDev" value="alsa" />Any application that tries to set a specific PCM device will break dmixing by locking the card. Applications should be set to default/sysdefault or not set at all. ES was picky about this, but the above combination works both with PA stopped or by having it running and use pasuspender:
# SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa pasuspender -- emulationstation
In most cases you should be able to just set ALSA_CARD=0 or specify the card like this in /storage/.config/asound.conf:
defaults.pcm.!card 0
defaults.ctl.!card 0
defaults.pcm.!device 1
defaults.ctl.!device 1
Environment variable takes preference.
Thank you, I will try it

I'm well aware that dmix can be disabled, I'm just not sure what that has to do with anything. Alright so it's not interesting for you, just informing others that ALSA definitely is not useless. I have ES with menu sounds and omxplayer both outputting at the same time with ALSA at the moment, it's an option. I don't do guessing, I do testing
Mind sharing your configuration? I've been trying to implement something using ALSA and dmix but I have failed

I added a script to download drastic and install it as an option, I won't include the binary pre-installed as I need permission to do so, haven't asked, but for now it works fine with the games I tested.
The Sx05RE and name changes I will explain:
EmuELEC, this version won't include Kodi its a pure emulation build, that includes changes even on the kernel, and since I don't have much time and as I don't want to deal with Kodi problems (and since I don't use Kodi) I decided to strip it out and focus on what I want.
I am working on porting some of the Retropie scripts that I might find useful for this, including but not limited to ES theme downloader, bluetooth configuration, scraping scripts, background music, etc, etc.
EmuELEC (name still might change, suggestions?) This will be my main focus.
But if you want Kodi you can use the Add-on version which is basically made just to run emulators, it is a basic version of EmuELEC it will not include retropie scripts (or not all of them) nor other changes I made to the kernel and stuff like that, but as always I will try to make it the best I can.
Sx05RE that includes Kodi will be no more I just don't have time to maintain 2 or 3 different versions.
and as this is no longer based on LE but it is on CE I invite you to continue the discussion on the CE forum at Sx05RE: Retro Emulation Kodi Addon for CoreELEC, released for testing - Emulation and Gaming - CoreELEC Forums

niabi It seems that you have done a lot recently.
You have added BGM to ES, autoconfig for joypad from ES to RA and something else. And I noticed you starred openBOR this morning. So, you are going to port openBOR for S905?
Yes, OpenBOR is done and working fine on S905 I am testing it right now
-
Thanks mate, I though of the S912 because of the promising panfrost driver that is already in beta with GLES 2 working while the lime driver for S905(x) its still alpha
I saw that the panfrost driver will continue to be developed to adapt it to the new S905X2 and S922X.
I hope that when the S922X is out, your amazing Coreelec version or the Emueelec branch find a home there
I have an Odroid N2 that has the S922X CPU and CoreELEC/Emuelec runs extremely well on it! so if you want to wait that one is a very good option!

niabi Hello mate, I was thinking of getting a mecool km8p its a S912 with 1GB of ram and 8GB storage. I was wondering if your new Coreelec versions Sx05RE would work on this 1GB of ram device, or maybe it would be doable in two steps, only Coreelec could be installed and then install your emulationstation plugin.
Thanks in advance
I would not buy a S912 device at all
1gb will work, but you will struggle in some areas.
I recommend you get a S905(x) with at least 2 GB of RAM -

Hi niabi smb is back in 2.3.1 THANK YOU.
Only thing i recognized is, if at boot no roms/systems are present and the screen of Emustation say „start kodi“ and „no“ and i choose kodi, screen goes black and nothing happened. This doenst bothers me, but i think you should know
Unfortunately yes, I left a patch I was testing, and it does not work properly
but it should not matter if you have ROMSniabi by the way, did you know that your builds are used for the Pandoras Box Sticks (with 905 and 912 boards in it)?!?! found this video on youtube cause a friend of mine want a out of box arcadestick with retrogaming...
I did not know that. Can you PM the video link?
-
Great news. Thank you!
Its up
-
I think I have found the issue and I am building a new image, will send you a link for you to test soon.
Yes

I used the V2.3 generic for S912 on Beelink GT Ulti. And with a fresh installation of only CE9 and than your great Emustation as script install, smb works. And yeah i choose the same dtb as in my ONLY CE9 install. Strange :o
so fresh install of Sx05RE 2.3 has no SMB
Fresh install of CE9 with the addon, has SMBright?
Thanks for the report, I will check this ASAP
-
Hi, i have your newest release the generic version for S912. Everything works find so far, BUT in Kodi i cannot connect my smb shares, all shares in my sources.xml says "no connection to network server" and in "add network locations" SMB is gone, everything (nfs, http, https, ) in connections is here only SMB is missing. It does not appear in the selection menu.
From all my other Kodi installations (S905, Apple TV (mrmc) and in my Android TV) smb is there and working fine. So it is not a failure on my NAS-Linux-Server.
Did I miss something?!?! Thanks for help and answers.
When you say latest, what version are you referring to exactly?
I need to check this as I haven't notice this.
Just to make sure, you replaced the dtb with the correct one for your device?
-
So i tried skyscrapers to scrape al my n64 games with videosnapes and it scrape al my games.
It’s works really fast and it’s easy to use if you setup your config properly.
Thanks!
share your config?
-
Where can I download the version Sx05RE v2.0.1? , and if you can play the psx games on the Emulationstation.
Thanks in advance
-
Yes, but will it not be wrapped in quotes /PPSSPPSDL "--PS3 /path/to/rom" ? as opposed to /PPSSPPSDL --PS3 "/path/to/rom"
EDIT: I've read more on "$@" and it seems you are correct, it should expand them to be different arguments, just make sure the ROM path does not have any spaces. So not sure why the --PS3 is not working, maybe its a bug in PPSSPP itself?
-
niabi, I just tested it and there isn't any difference at all. Autodetection and with the --PS3 command doesn't work.
How did you modify the es_systems.cfg file?
I see on RR it is started by a script file so if you just addedd the argument in es_systems.cfg it is not going to work.
OK lets try this way:
You would actually need to create a new script for your es_systems.cfg to call
- Make a new file in /storage call it pspps3.sh or whaever you want. Make sure you give it +x permissions
- Copy everything from this script ppsspp.start to the one you created
- Change line 16 from /usr/share/PPSSPP/PPSSPPSDL "$@"> /var/log/PPSSPP.log 2>&1 to /usr/share/PPSSPP/PPSSPPSDL --PS3 "$@"> /var/log/PPSSPP.log 2>&1
- Change es_systems.cfg from <command>/usr/bin/PPSSPP.start %ROM%</command> to <command>/storage/pspps3.sh %ROM%</command>
- Restart ES and try to see if it works
-
Really odd. Github mentions PPSSPP being revised to support the controllers but I still have the same problem. It doesn't seem like there's any way to map the buttons correctly without screwing up the keyboard mapping also.
Did you start PPSSPP with the --PS3 command line option?
Not sure how RR runs PPSSP but you might need to modify the es_systems.cfg file if you are using Emulationstation
