Display MoreHey guys,
I come back to you concerning PPSSPP.
I still don't get fullscreen even if parameter is checked :
The weird resolution stays when I close PPSSPP to go back in ES.
It might be related to this issue :Vulkan (linux): wrong image size · Issue #10458 · hrydgard/ppsspp · GitHub
Anyone please?
what box are you running?
I will check the patch provided on the link.
a version for the S912 has just been uploaded to Github.
This is a test release for S912, things might not work as smooth or at all compared to the regular S905 release.
Please test it and let me know if you run into problems.
Known Issues:
No PSP emulation, PPSSPP and the Libretro cores do not work!
No 16BPP so some Retroarch shaders do not work.
Splash screen does not work properly (even worse than the S905 version xD)
Don't forget to use the proper DTB for your device!
Release Sx05RE for S912 *TEST RELEASE* · shantigilbert/Sx05RE · GitHub
No problem, I'm in no hurry.
I've spent a bit of time merging your Leia branch with CoreELEC master (the repo formerly known as LibreELEC-AML) and the merge is more or less done but there's some work to do to successfully compile for the LePotato - IIRC a missing target for the LePotato's DTBs. I'll take another look at it after work tomorrow. I forked your repo (GitHub - saunderez/Sx05RE: 'Just enough OS' for Kodi. Sx05 Retro Edition, an emulation build based on LibreELEC for S905, S805 Devices.) and I've been committing my changes so if I get it working I'll send a PR with my changes.
My build environment is a VM with 4 x 3.7ghz Ryzen 1700 cores (8 threads) and 8GB RAM allocated so compilation time should be alright once I get everything set up, I might be able to give you a hand with your builds.
That is the same error I get when I build for LePotato (DTB related).
Thanks! I saw your repo and it would be of great help!
I still don't know why they changed the AML repo to CoreELEC, can't find any info on that.
saunderez just FYI I had an error while building the image for LePotato, not related to Sx05RE so I am looking into it. I will let you know as soon as I find a solution.
That would be great PR are always welcome!
it takes about 4 hours to compile for each different board so in the morning I will check if it built correctly and upload a test.
Ok I will let it build overnight and I will send you a img when its ready to test 
Managed to get this working on a LePotato by inserting the system and kernel into kzaq's LePotato build but man is it crashy. I'm talking full on bring down the entire OS level crashes (seg faults etc). Haven't been able to pinpoint the problem yet but seems to manifest most often under heavy load, I've most often during SMB file transfers but thinking that was the cause tried SSH and had the same thing happen. Tried several different MicroSD cards to take that out of the equation but no difference. I'm fairly new to building stuff for Linux (especially something as complex as LibreELEC) but I'm trying to learn how this all goes together as it seems the kernel used in Adam's Leia builds is a lot more stable. If anyone has messed around with the LePotato and has any suggestions I'm open to hear them.
Does Kszaq version work for you without any modifications? I might be able to compile a version for LePotato, but I have no way to test it.
bug report with version 1.8.5 - I have 1943.zip MAME ROMs and no matter which MAME core I set in ES (MAME2003, ADVANCEMAME, MAME2010 etc.) it will not load and run the zipped 1943 ROM set.
but if I an retroarch and select CORE -> MAME2003 and then LOAD CONTENT - 1943.ZIP - the game loads and runs with no issues. happens a lot with other MAME rom sets as well.
it appears that the MAME settings in ES are only using the FBA core.
Ok I checked this, and I didn't have the problem you are having.
Can you check es_settings.cfg and see what mame core is selected there?
also, make sure your ROMS are in /storage/roms/mame-advmame (or the one you have in es_systems.cfg if you modified it)
I should have changed this to be just /storage/roms/mame but I forgot 
niabi - what is the script you use please to scrape for box art? I've been searching but not finding it (I want to edit it to scrape game screenshots instead of box art)
EDIT: I've found two copies of the 'scraper' binary - one is about 4KB an in the BIN folder, the other is about 8KB and in the ROMS\NEOGEO folder.
thank you.
The only one I provide and use is the one in /usr/bin I don't know where the other one came from. I am trying (without much success) to implement it on ES. But for the meanwhile you will have to run it manually.

I will check this.
For those of you that have an S912 and wish to run this, I have some news.
I recently got a S912 donated by an anonymous user (anonymous as in he wishes not to be mentioned) and I did some tests for the S912, I've gotten everything to run on it except for PPSSPP and Reicast, but I am working on it. Everything else seems to run perfectly. I will release an img to test pretty soon.
I can now test and build for the S905(x) and the S912, still no S805 but AFAIK everything works on that one
Thanks for the donation!
Hi niabi or someone who had the same issue. I have the 1.8.4 running on my s905x. Everything works like charm, except the Dreamcast Emu. I've the bios and all as .cdi files games. But when I start a game, only the screen where you can change the date/time appears and I can do anything. Nothing is responding to my controller inputs (xbox360). Do I miss something? Thx for help.
Sorry it took this long to reply.
you have to log in to SSH and type
reicast-joyconfig.py and follow the instructions, after all of that you get the results and you have to copy them to a .cfg file.
e.g. /storage/.config/reicast/pad.cfg
and then modify the /storage/.config/reicast/emu.cfg to point to this configuration and the device id.
An easier way if you have an Xbox pad is to just notice the device ID and change it in /storage/.config/reicast/emu.cfg
evdev_device_id_1 = x (where x is the device id you got from running reicast-joyconfig.py)

Unfortunately right now you need to go into ssh and configure your controller there, I will post the steps in a few hours when I get home.
1.7 was older LE build, you would need to do what others did a few posts back to update from that.
you upgrading from what version? internal or SD?
Hi there.
Current stable LAKKA build tested, PS4 pad detected and responds yet on the menu moving up and down isn’t usable. Jumps from top menu item to the bottom in one press. Shoulder buttons help yet still skip/jump weirdly.
I did test Retroarch on the v9.0 leia test build using jokerz‘s repo which worked fine yet I presume is an aged version so could avoid a recent bug introduced.
I’m looking at getting an x360 pad as an alternative.
Is the DS4 a genuine one or a generic? I keep finding mixed results, some say DS4 does not work on Lakka, other say they do, and some say only genuine DS4 pads work. I have a DS4 pad but I haven't had time to really test it. Maybe try the solution that DarzLir posted?
I really should write (or someone else could help me with this) some small how-to on setting up controllers. I've also been trying to figure out how Recalbox, Retropie and such handle the automatic setup and it seems to be doable on our boxes, I just need to translate it to Libreelec.
I tried PPSSPP but It displays in a letter box, top left of my screen (a 4K one)
How can I change resolution ?
I tried different parameters in ppsspp.ini without success.
Thanks
Try in the PPSSPP settings directly (press the middle button on an Xbox gamepad)
Thanks chewitt for the detailed answer!
