  • [RetroPlayer 17.0] LibreELEC 8.0 builds for S905/S905X

    Quote from Frisk

    Here the emulation is done through kodi.

    With retroarch kodi's process is killed.

    I confirm that emulation has poor performance compared to retroarch. I tested snes and the sound stutters.

    There is sound shuttering in SNES on my Nexbox A95X too. But after a brief exploration I've found that the CPU is being under clocked due to the bad thermal design of these boxes. When I opened the box and kept the temperature below 80'C (e.g. by holding my hand on the cooler), the CPU went back to it's 1,5 GHz and there were no sound shuttering in SNES any more.

    I couldn't resist... the waiting for Leia was too long so I've built kszaq's 7.95.beta5b for S905/S905X with the Inconspicuous fix included (Inconspicuous fix by garbear · Pull Request #11022 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub). Credits go to kszaq, garbear and lrusak. I've only put those together.

    Haven't tested this yet, but basically it's the kszaq's 7.95.beta5b built with RetroPlayer patch.

    Emulators are not included but it should be possible to use any 32-bit arm builds (e.g. for RPi2).

    Download:
    LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.0-devel-20170204160005-r25435-gdef3df6.tar

    Install:
    First install kszaq's 7.95.beta5b. Then place the tar file to "/storage/.update" folder and reboot.

    EDIT:
    The build seems to work for me except for save states. The performance however is not as good as I expected on my A95X (S905X). Probably due to overheating and thermal throttling.
    Also I've managed to compile a basic set of emulators for use with this build:
    game.libretro-1.0.1.100.zip (install this first)
    game.libretro.nestopia-1.48.0.100.zip (NES)
    game.libretro.fceumm-0.98.13.100.zip (NES)
    game.libretro.snes9x2010-1.52.4.100.zip (SNES)
    game.libretro.genplus-1.7.4.100.zip (Genesis)
    game.libretro.picodrive-1.91.0.100.zip (Genesis)
    game.libretro.pcsx-rearmed-19.0.0.100.zip (PSX)
    game.libretro.mupen64plus-2.0.2.100.zip (N64)

  • [8.0.2e] LibreELEC 8.0 for S905/S905X

    Hi,
    I'm trying to build the image myself so I can experiment with the code but I'm stuck with errors during kernel compilation:

    Any ideas? I'm working with beta5 source code and trying to build 32-bit version with "PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make -j4".

    Thank you.

    EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't realized that I'm running on x86 host but x86_64 seems to be required for aarch64 kernel build.

  • Old MX Box (mbx reference board g18ref)

    Quote from Klojum


    Most efforts are put in the usual builds (Generic PC, Raspberry Pi, etc), and the current 80x/90x series of AMLogic.
    We're not planning to also support older/outdated AML hardware.

    Why not? This outdated hardware is the same as found in original WeTek Play which is officially supported and there is already very stable public OpenELEC fork (GitHub - codesnake/OpenELEC.tv: Port of the OpenELEC for Amlogic-based TV boxes) for it so everything is sorted out (bootloader, WiFi, remote). There are many users of those boxes (G18REF or GBOX MX2) as those were first really usable low-cost Kodi boxes available. I'd say dual Cortex-A9 1,5 GHz, 1 GB RAM and Mali-400 MP is not so outdated yet.
