@Val_Ainsley Add a line with kernel=kernel8.img to config.txt and reboot.

@StonedEdge said in Retropie setup menu/Runcommand crashing in ES on Ubuntu:

Sorry what do you mean?

Not sure what more to explain ? The issue still exists and it's not fixed in the latest version, you have to work-around it with the modifications posted in this topic.

@JimmyFromTheBay said in Any progress being made with ZX81 emulation?:

@Folly

What is the "makefile"?

Here you can find what makefiles do.

The sourcecode of sz81 is here.
You will notice the Makefile.
I highlighted these lines to give you an impression on what can be added to the CFLAGS in order to compile the source code with for example zxpand.
To add zxpand it has to be added in the line 40 :
.... -D_DZ80_EXCLUDE_SCRIPT -DZXPAND

What are the "sdcard files" for ZXPAND?

I am not an expert on zxpand but it seems that program files are loaded from sdcard.
More info about zxpand can be found here.
You can also read that the SZ81 emulator can emulate the ZXpand+. To run a ZXpand-compatible program, you have to put the P file and its .wad file in the ZXpand_SD_Card folder.

"edit where the configure part so the binary is saver in a different folder than the standar sz81 emultor" - is that referring to these lines? function sources_sz80() { gitPullOrClone #patch and change the config directory for ZX80 sed -i 's/\"\.sz81\"/\"\.sz80\"/g' "sdl_resources.h"

no,
I meant :
function configure_sz80()

What you mention is sources part , look at the function name.

Because I have NO idea what that's all about, or what the different slashes mean. There basically isn't one part of that last line I understand :(

You can read more about what the program sed does over here.

So it looks like the answer to your question, sadly, is "Hell no" :D

Haha, I understand.
In the beginning it's all garbage.
Try to read the stuff I send you.
Hope you will understand it a little bit better.

@barbudreadmon it's a good quality SD card, but I wondered that. Doesn't retropie load everything into memory though? It's a Pi4 with 4GB.

@mitu

Thanks!
Unfortunately,

jstest /dev/input/js0

does not trigger the turbo button, so I think it is an internal controller button. All other buttons trigger.

@sugarfree Thank you!

@sith-lord-goz Thanks for the notes. I have updated the gist.

The "Forge,The" thing: Most likely some logic between browser search and before it hits the API or DB. Things are not final at their side and obviously not consolidated that same inputs yield the same output regardless of which search route is used.

Get a 2.5mm (or 3mm) diameter drill and remove that junk.

@aaronouthier said in Odroid XU4 SDL Problem Emulationstation:

Is this anything about which I should be worried?

The messages are from the GL version detection part, which is going to error out if you're running the installation outside of a desktop environment. I'm not familiar with a XU4, but I don't see the platform declared with the x11 flag in RetroPie, so I don't see why it tries the detection. What system is detected by RetroPie-Setup for your system - it should be displayed on the 1st dialog ?

@Robs said in Help setting up controls ZX Spectrum:

I want to be able to define some additional keys on the gamepad in addition to the kempston joystick function eg Atic Atac i want kempston plus a button to press "z" to pick up an object. I want this for only this ROM

I don't think that would work without involving an external utility like xboxdrv to remap a button combo to emit a key. Something like https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Universal-Controller-Calibration-%26-Mapping-Using-xboxdrv/.

Some games I want to use the keyboard. However some keys seem to fast forward the game or pause regardless of game. Where can I check those functions? Again I would like to define a normal keyboard for eg the hobbit

Just press the Scroll Lock key to toggle RetroArch into Game Focus mode where the keyboard is exclusively used by the emulated system, any RetroArch key bindings are ignored (incl. hotkey combos). Press Scroll Lock again to be able to regain control over RetroArch and exit. See here for a brief mention on Game Focus in RetroArch guides.

Solved

I used this line to see the versions of the packages and know which one I want to change to

dpkg-query -W | grep '~bpo'

after, I purged all I wanted

sudo apt --purge remove libgl1-mesa-dev sudo apt --purge remove libsdl2-dev sudo apt --purge remove libgl1-mesa-dri and more .....

If you use sudo apt remove libgl1-mesa-dev instead of purge, it's not enough. That was my mistake.

After I loaded Retropie-Setup

sudo sh ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

and I re-installed all dependency packages

For someone with basic computer skills like me , I had a close call!! 🤣

For CMake, what I did works well, but I don't recommand to play with that without a backup!

I went ahead and installed the development version and it seems like it's fixed the issues I've been having. Thanks for the help!

@random-guy If you have fixed the problem, why don't you share the solution, so other users with similar issue can see it.
