OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase

SinisterSpatula

I think you're right, because I just followed the exact same steps on my Pi3 that I'm doing on my pi zero, and it worked perfectly, no error, brought up the BOR gui menu. So I must be compiling for pi3 still, somehow?
Here's the output of ldd OpenBOR on my zero:

@SinisterSpatula sorry!
Posted wrong. It looks all fine!
@mitu Can you help here please?

SinisterSpatula

Sorry I'm sure this is a dumb question, but where or how do I get that installed or placed where needed? :) Still learning. Oh ok. Back to the drawing board I guess lol. I'm going to try a different image for the zero and see if I have better luck.

cyperghost

@SinisterSpatula I posted wrong! Sorry! I've tagged mitu. I think he can help

cyperghost

@SinisterSpatula Moment .... what image did you use? A preinstalled one?

SinisterSpatula

@cyperghost Most recently I used a stock image: retropie-4.4-rpi1_zero.img which should be stock standard, nothing but enabling ssh, samba, I did a fake-hw-clock to stop the system file checks on every boot, I installed xboxdrv (I like to use that for gamepad remapping to keyboard keys. That's all I've done I'm pretty sure.

cyperghost

@SinisterSpatula Okay then wait for an answer from mitu. I think he can help

mitu

@cyperghost said in OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase:

@mitu Can you help here please?

I can try, but it looks like the problem is that the binary/some parts of it (gl4es ?) are compiled for a RPI3, while the PI0 has a different CPU, thus some optimized instructions in the binary will not work for it.

SinisterSpatula

@mitu that's what it seems like to me too. What's weird though, is if you look in this thread starting here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/191200 another member was able to compile this beta for the zero. They don't say what they did or how they did it though :(

cyperghost

@mitu No it's compiled by the scriptmodule and GL4ES is deleted. So it's ARM6 instructions. I've never compiled on Pi1/0 platforms and I don't have one available.

ldd looks okay

@cyperghost said in OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase:

Ah, then it's not the CPU instructions mismatch.

SinisterSpatula

@mitu Well, it could be... See I'm doing the scriptmodule first. But then I'm compiling again, and overwriting the binary with my own. I'll try just the scriptmodule alone, maybe that's the issue?

cyperghost

@SinisterSpatula Then the GL4ES is wrong. The scriptmodule uses a prepacked GL4ES made for RPi3 therefore I asked to delete this.

Maybe you can compile GL4ES on your platform.
Instructions are here
https://github.com/ptitSeb/gl4es

SinisterSpatula

@cyperghost Yeah, just to clarify, I was doing script module, then compiling my own openbor executable, and my own GLES4, and overwriting them both, into the folder of where the scriptmodule installed to. Is the script module able to change the compiling flags to the needed ones for zero? Or would I need to modify those before compiling?

cyperghost

@SinisterSpatula The scriptmodule has nothing to do with compiling flags. It's the patch itself.

Compiling flags are set to

CFLAGS         += -marm -mcpu=cortex-a9 -mfpu=neon -mfloat-abi=hard -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -O2

SinisterSpatula

Would you happen to know what the flags should be for the zero? I'm guessing these are working for pi3 but for zero it needs to be something other

Edit: looks like this maybe? "mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=vfp (alias for vfpv2)"

SinisterSpatula

Sorry to drag you both into something silly, I've just got my heart set on getting this to work lol, and I truly appreciate the assistance :)

cyperghost

@SinisterSpatula You can try -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp

SinisterSpatula

@cyperghost said in OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase:

-mfpu=vfp

That did it!! I'm so freaking happy right now! Woooooo! :D Thanks again, sincerely appreciate it. For future others who want to compile for zero, If you want you can point them to my changed 4-Galina-diff here:

wget https://github.com/SinisterSpatula/RetroflagGpiGuides/raw/master/data/4-Galina.diff

cyperghost

@SinisterSpatula Sure... The community has to thank you even if you plan to release some premade images.
Can you say something to the speed?

About the emulators.cfg
it should be

openbor = "pushd /opt/retropie/ports/openbor; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor/OpenBOR %ROM%; popd"

The %ROM% is needed to start PAK-files through dialog menu or via EmulationStation as own system.
