(Request) Add Libretro Neogeo CD Emulator
-
@akafox That is unrelated to your install of mame2003-plus and has been part of RetroPie for some time now.
Regardless, fbalpha-neocd is pretty good to my knowledge. Just a different mode for FBA to run in. Doesn't have the emulation hacks that NeoCD does, but other that that it is perfectly serviceable now that the NeoCD developer fixed FBA's lack of CDA playback (might need to update from source).
Now if only either added CHD support. I'd even take the cue/bin format you get from decompressing the CHD being supported.
-
@MajorDangerNine Yeah I figured that. Just thought it was strange to get two cores...that and it being from a mame core getting a fba core.
I looked for the core on the forum here and you are correct been round awhile now. Odd I never ran across it till now. However I am going to try this core first. I am compiling it as I type for x64..if it works ok then i can try it on the PI for pits and piggels.
CHD support is coming i see..which is good the few I have are CHD format anyway. SO MUCH room is saved that way...waiting for chd support on rearmed (of which I think it is added..I don't remember) that is for another thread though...
Anyway going to try this out. and thanks for the code! :D

Okay works GREAT on x86/x64 but I am having a bit of a problem compiling for the RPI3.
I changed the CMakeLists.txt file as follows:
from
-march=x86-64 -mtune=generic
to
-march=armv7 -mtune=arm7but I get this error
/home/pi/neocd_libretro-master/src/3rdparty/musashi/m68kopdm.cpp:1:0: error: target CPU does not support ARM mode
so I am at a loss :/
-
@akafox I think I just commented:
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE} -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic ${BASE_CXX_OPTIONS}")Uncommented:
# set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE} -march=native ${BASE_CXX_OPTIONS}")Then compiled it on my RPi3B.
Got a working version that way, though I don't understand much of anything about compiling. Basic idea I have is it is some sort of auto-conversion type deal is going, which is most likely the reason Samurai Shodown 3 freezes on the Pi but doesn't on the PC as something isn't going right in the supposed auto-conversion when it comes to that game.
-
okay when I do that without changing the -march flag (I leave it "native" like you have ) I get this:

-
@akafox Eh, I'm at a loss. Well, unless you are overclocking your Pi and haven't made sure it is stable.
I just did my best to follow what was HERE and produced that one binary for the RPi3B that I posted near the beginning topic.
Good luck. Hopefully the developer will add CHD support soon and polish whatever else needs polishing so that it can be made an official Libretro core.

@MajorDangerNine It's not an official libretro core for legal reasons. https://github.com/fabrice-martinez/neocd_libretro/issues/1
If you can figure out how to make samsho3 not freeze up, then please post an updated binary, thanks.

@akafox
-march=nativeis not supported by thegcccompiler on the Pi (hence the crash). You can take a look at the compilation flags used by the RetroPie-Setup script for various platforms here.I am not using the retropie-set up script. I am just ssh in and compiling
-
I just compiled it on my own, yay. The default options @MajorDangerNine provided works but I also tried on my pi3b+:
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE} -march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53 ${BASE_CXX_OPTIONS}")@akafox Maybe upgrade to stretch? My setup is always up-to date.

Hi.
Someone can do me a favor and compile it to run on a retropie lubuntu install? I am a total noob on do that.
Thxs. -
@wmarcio compile it to run on ulbuntu? it would be the same as any other compile build. Makes no difference I would think except for maybe needing a lot of dependencies. However are you asking if it can be done (I assume yes) or are you asking for the compiled core? I doubt anyone here will share the core..for various reasons.
@ Darksavior THANK YOU! for that cmake line! I thought the RPi3 was arm7..guess I was wrong? Anyway I got it working! Works great. I did have to upgrade to stretch (retropie 4.4) my "main" sd card is on the old jessie because I am working on a project. I used the card out of my RPi1 (yes a raspberry pi 1) and just had to install some dependencies and it worked great. (No I put the card in my RPi3 and compiled it..yes I know it will not work with the pi1..)
So my question here is why use the "Generic x64 options" to compile and not the "All architectures, optimized for the machine NeoCD is compiled on" line?
Just curious that is all!So I set it up as a system in Retropie and it works from the GUI just like everything else does. Where does the .info file go? (I can't find them anywhere.) Now we just need a NEOGEO CD Theme for Retropie. (Hint!) Again thanks..cheers! :D
Edit: I compiled using the "All architectures..." line. No errors compiled fine.
Have not had the chance to "test the difference" I will report back when i can.So I can not tell a difference and yes samsho3 still locks up my pi no matter which one i use -
I reported the problem with samsho3 and it got fixed rather quickly. I can verify it works now.

A bounty is open about it, feel free to back it : https://www.bountysource.com/issues/70116022-request-chd-support-for-neo-geo-cd

@barbudreadmon Nice. Thanks for informing me about this. Still, I'd probably be more inclined to donate to the PSX one.
https://www.bountysource.com/issues/57712065
Just a personal preference. PSX is probably one of my favorite systems, while Neo Geo CD is a novelty to me at best.
-
@MajorDangerNine No problem :), i was just informing you about this.
-
Can anyone tell me a way to make it so I can edit the "opt" folder to add the "lr-neocd" folder,
I tried following the info in the text file, by changing the password so I can use WinSCP, but it still says "permission denied".
Any ideas? or know an easy way I can get it working?

@Winklepicker You need to enable the root account and log in with that. It's how I do it.

Can you tell me what I would need to do? I've tried to follow tutorials on youtube, but never seem to work.
If you could tell me the method how you did it, would be great.
