New Hypseus and lr-Daphne to add on Retropie-Setup

SuperFromND

I don't plan on submitting a pull request for this script myself (due to the freezing issues described above), but if anyone wants to install the emulator without much hassle (or if the freezing bug gets fixed in the future), here's the scriptmodule I wrote for lr-daphne:

And for those who can't quite figure out what goes where, here's my file heirarchy, rendered in glorious text characters.

@stuart2773 Hey Stuart. Now We have a compiled code, maybe you can make a new request on GitHub.

grant2258

the code always compiled the freezing issue meeds addressed though.

If this freeze doesnt happen in jessie. I would initially suspect it is tsx (Transactional Synchronization eXtensions) related if the arm processors support this would need to look into it more though.

I how do I install this on my raspberry Pi?

SuperFromND

@skj Navigate to /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores, then create a new file named lr-daphne.sh, and paste the above shell script. Save the file, and you're pretty much done.

You'll want to install something like WinSCP before doing this; it makes the process a lot easier than trying to do it over PuTTY or on the Pi itself.

@supercatfooz

Ok I did all of that but I don't see any option to run lr-daphne or select it as an emulator? Is there anything else I need to do? I'm a complete newbie with GitHub stuff and scripts any help would be much appreciated.

SuperFromND

@skj You'll need to run the script from RetroPie Setup to install the emulator. It'll be in the "experimental" section.

skj

@supercatfooz

Can you explain step by step how to do this as i dont know how to install the lr-daphne.sh from the retropie setup menu. Thanks

SuperFromND

@skj See here.

skj

@supercatfooz

The lr-daphne is not showing in the experimental section. That is where im getting confused i cant install the emulator as it does not appear in that section :s

mediamogul

@skj

Did you update your RetroPie-Setup script first from the root menu?

skj

@mediamogul

Yes, I created the above mentioned lr-daphne.sh script, placed it in the above mention folder, then updated the retropie setup script and nothing for lr-daphne appears in the manage pacakages experimental section, that where I'm up to :s

cyperghost

@mediamogul @skj
I took file to my github
Please download with

Download Scriptmodule with: wget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/RetroPie-Shares/master/daphne-dev.sh -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/daphne-dev.sh
Go to ES and select Configuration (the RetroJoy), select RetroPie Setup or just type sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
On blue dialog, navigate to P Manage packages
Select exp Manage experimental packages
Run down the list, there select xxx lr-daphne (Read bottom line it should say: Laserdisc emu - Daphne port for libretro)
Select S Install from source

@skj said in Hypseus new Daphne fork to try on Retropie:

make

i would suggest you change make to
make platform=pi -j4

Added this

@cyperghost @grant2258 @mediamogul @SuperCatFooz

Thank you so much for your clear instructions i was able to install it.

do i have to create any config files or folders now because i dont see anything in the /opt/retropie/libretrocores for lr-daphne?

reading above posts i dont see any config files created like this

/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /home/pi/daphne/daphne_libretro.so --config

sorry for asking all these questions but i really want to test this and im not sure on what to do next ?

Restart ES

ive only tested on a raspberry pi3 b+. I decided to use kodi and bbc iplayer kodi seems to be crashing randomly (when i say crashing i mean freezing) as well.

Ill need to see if i can find my pi2 and test on that then test on an earlier retropie version as well.

This freezing only happens on the pi ive only tested in stretch on a 3b+. Instead of jumping to conclusions ill test with a pi2 and a pi3 and various memory cards. Any feedback on the pi versions you guys are testing on if your getting the freezing would in lr daphne would he to debug this

SuperFromND

@grant2258 I'm using RetroPie 4.4 on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (not to be confused with the 3B+).

dmmarti

Testing on a Pi 3B (not a B+) .. I get that same strange freezing occurring.

I also don't have any sound and the controls (Logitech F310 wired gamepad) does not work in-game. I can still press SELECT + X and get to the Retroarch GUI, so my controller is working. I just can't input any coins and start the game yet.

I tested the M.A.C.H.3 rom.
