UAE4ARM

[hermit]

I wanted to know if it is possible to set up the compilation of UAE4ARm so that it directly generates the capsimg.so file, which is required for the emulation of the IPF roms.
here is a guide for Amiberry, also valid for UAE4ARM

https://github.com/midwan/amiberry/wiki/Enabling-IPF-support

or modify it so that it does not delete this file during the update phase; every time I have to regenerate it :(
thanks a lot :)

p.s. I do not know if this is the right place for requests ...

Is it not possible to avoid deleting the capsimg.so file? thank you

@hermit I don't think it's even built by default in RetroPie. The capsimage library it's installed though as dependency when installing the hatari emulator.
I'm not sure if amiberry can load it if found. If you install hatari, you can find a libcapsimage.so.5.1 file in /opt/retropie/emulators/hatari.

no, but it can be obtained from the capsimg folder
https://github.com/Chips-fr/uae4arm-rpi/

the procedure (if it may be of interest) :
copy the capsimg folder to /opt/retropie/emulators/uae4arm/
cd /opt/retropie/emulators/uae4arm/capsimg
chmod u+x bootstrap
./bootstrap
./configure
make -j 4
finally move the capsimg.so file into /opt/retropie/emulators/uae4arm/

@hermit
I don't know about the capsimg.so, but to break down the steps of the install.

sudo $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh uae4arm sources
sudo $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh uae4arm build
sudo $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh uae4arm install
sudo $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_packages.sh uae4arm configure

you could also set the immutable attribute on the file so that it wont be deleted by the install step of UAE4ARM

sudo chattr +i /opt/retropie/emulators/uae4arm/capsimg.so

@Efriim perfect, it works! thank you
