ORA Retropie image for the odroid Xu4

@astal79 said in ORA Retropie image for the odroid Xu4:

hello the sega saturn will be presented in the next update for the odroid xu4 a dev has been paid by the community odroid for it works on the compatibility in 32bit on the odroid xu4 how is it that on raspberry while the community is bigger there is nothing?

ill give you the same answer i give my community when they ask this

raspberry pi is not a odroid xu4
odroid xu4 is not a raspberry pi

raspberry pi uses a broadcom chip
odroid uses a exynos chip

to expect one to work like the other is like expecting a stroller to go 90 mph just because it has wheels like a car

if you think your hard done by just remember your a bigger community shit you guys get as standard weve had to fight for to get working because we have a far far smaller community

weve only had the divine blessing of a xu4 compatible build for 1 year and its because of this and the small comunity weve had to work just to get as far as we have

you guys have mehstation and attract mode we do not because it has no recent 32bit compatible build

saturn DS and a couple others didnt even have compatibility we had to raise money to be able to make it worth the developers time and to purchase them hardware so they could develop there emus for us

anyway to summarise like buzz said your not a xu4 your hardware is different theres stuff that simply cant be done

but before you feel sour we cant do things you guys can for the same reason

@reesk92 Changed some scripts and make reset button work proper to terminate emulators and restart ES!

#!/bin/bash
# Make right button work
#
# if emulator is detected is kills the process
# if no emulator is running ES will be restarted (properly!)

@cyperghost i was wondering what to do with your script, does it go in a startup script somewhere? do you just run it once from a terminal? i am somewhat new to linux and just not completely sure what to do with your script but i really like tge idea. i just bought the OGST n64 case but have yet to set it up

@lordcrammy Edit the autostart with nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh and add line sudo /home/pigaming/button.sh & before the emulationstation call. Then it will work

Change the path and the name of the script as you like but don't forget the &

@ExarKunIv
Created a script to enable/disable WIFI connection according to this thread posting #2 even the title is a bit misleading (because it is not rfkill) ;)

What is the purpose? Because Wifi and BT interfere together and with a simple toggle dialog you can disable Wifi and BT inputs are lag reduced or even better signal distances ;)

This might sound like a stupid question. But would it be possible to port Irata Jaguar and Real3doplayer to the Odroid Retro Arena?

Since both Irata Jaguar and Real3doplayer emulators run perfectly and at proper FPS on Odroid using Android.

Also another quick question. What happened to eduke32? This was available in the earlier versions of ORA but I noticed it's not there now. Strangely enough I was able to copy the files from the Raspberry Pi and it worked.

Also no quake 3?

Hi All,

I just bought an O-XU4 and the OGST case, I flashed the latest iso XU4-ORA-Base-RP-Pub-v1.5.2.img and everything works fine, even if haven't test any rom yet, but my wifi dongle and the right button.

About the wifi if the Retropie ORA is Debian/Ubuntu based maybe I could try to find the firmware, about the right button I would like to know if I can customize it and how, probably I would like to add a reboot to use when something gets wrong.

I have the new image working with roms but my configuration section is empty except for "Arena toolbox"

Hi guys,

I hope someone can help me, I am not sure if there is a real connection, however after I used the internal utilities to scrape the games I noticed the Dreamcast games are getting slower. For example Sonic Advance is one of the most affected, the first time I started it was without any lags but now is quite laggy even if playable. Where can I investigate to fix it?

Thanks!

Hi there,

I am pretty confused about the ORA... I screwed up the 1.5.2 and installed 3.0.6 available on the website while the one posted here is not available as well as the documentation and the usual ssh passwords don't work. Can anyone redirect to the last stable release and documentation, thanks!
