RE: freeplay with lakka - Nymunariya - 03-07-2018 progress! With everything compiled and installed (minus the scripts, because I'm not going to use emulationstation and I don't know how much they use/depend on emulationstation. On bootup, the screen goes black. So there's some communication, but nothing else. No text. Nothing mirror'd If I can at least get cmatrix to show on the display, then I'd call it a success. That's my benchmark. RE: freeplay with lakka - Nymunariya - 03-07-2018 so the fbcp is not refreshing the screen? Code: pi@freeplay:~ $ /etc/init.d/fbcp.sh if I run Code: sudo service fbcp restart then the boot text and command prompt show up properly. little convoluted to get cmatrix working ... but it is working. Now if only I can get retroarch to compile successfully ... RE: freeplay with lakka - Flavor - 03-09-2018 NICE WORK! I'm sorry that I haven't been more helpful with all of this. I really haven't had much time to spend on software stuff recently. Keep us updated! If you get a working SD image, I'm guessing others would like to try it. RE: freeplay with lakka - Nymunariya - 03-09-2018 it's understandable, no worries. But this is just all raspbian. Right now I'm basically just trying to recreate your retropie install, without emulationstation. So far I'm still struggling getting retroarch to install ... but from what I gather, if I can get it installed and I can convert raspbian into a readonly image. It probably won't boot as fast as lakka, but could be the next best thing RE: freeplay with lakka - Nymunariya - 03-17-2018 okay, so adding the Code: sudo service fbcp restart into /etc/rc.local is needed to get the screen to show on its own. I just tried running the fpstartup.py script, and the gpio buttons registered, but the script failed at the audiotest, because omxplayer wasn't installed. Then audio worked, but I have a few issues to work out since the case is too tight on the volume control. But then it crashed on USB test. Code: USB Port Test: installing libglib2.0 didn't seem to fix the problem. It's still not finding a module named glib. askubuntu recommends installing libgtk2.0-dev, but I don't like the idea of install x11proto packages at the same time ... Edit: libgtk didn't do anything. Still crashing on USB test, unable to find glib. RE: freeplay with lakka - Nymunariya - 03-17-2018 jstest works ... I guess that means I'm basically done anyway. All that's left is to get retroarch installed ... RE: freeplay with lakka - Nymunariya - 03-17-2018 now it's just a matter of following the compiling instructions on https://github.com/libretro/docs/blob/master/docs/compilation/linux-and-bsd.md Code: sudo apt update unfortunately that seems to be taking EVERYTHING: Code: snes9x2002 All that takes up 8,3GB. I'm just going to say I have no idea what I'm doing. So I went to retroarch-build.sh and commented out all the cores I don't want to build (basically, all non gameboy, gba, nes codes), commented out "empty" if statements and made empty functions return 0, so that the shell script would run. Then I moved the commented out cores to a folder to delete (in order to save 5GB): Code: mkdir ./delete RE: freeplay with lakka - Nymunariya - 03-18-2018 so compiling libretro cores failed? but was also apparently successful. Code: 14 core(s) successfully processed: fceumm gamebatte nestopia nxengine quicknes vba_next mgba lutro tybdual 02em vbam meteor dinothawr bnes RE: freeplay with lakka - Nymunariya - 03-18-2018 TIL retroarch is in apt. I tried apt installing the following packages: retroarch retroarch-assets libretro-gambatte libretro-mgba libretro-nestopia but now when I run retroarch I get an "illegal operation" error. My compiled retroarch is still throwing up errors. Maybe I need to install x11? Code: [INFO] [Video]: Graphics driver did not initialize an input driver. Attempting to pick a suitable driver. RE: freeplay with lakka - Nymunariya - 03-18-2018 today I tried recompiling retroarch from libretro-super ./configure --enable-neon --enable-floathard --enable-opengles --enable-dispmanx --disable-ffmpeg --disable-x11 which gets rid of the x11 window error, but now I just get the "illegal operation" in both the apt and source compiled version ... maybe I need to start over? |
