@flagrant99 said in coolcv 6.6 on RetroPie is v4.4 give error:

Anybody know what libGLESv2.so is? I guess this was on RetroPie 4.3?

No, that's part of Raspbian and it was renamed by them a few months back. How did you install the new version ?

We cannot simply replace
/opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv/coolcv_pi
from ftp. I gives Permission denied Error. So we have to telnet in, change dir to same location. Permissions shows -rwxrwxrwx. First lets rename the existing:

sudo mv coolcv_pi coolcv_pi_old

We have to use sudo or we get permissions errors.

We cannot transfer thru ftp straight into /opt so lets xfr here
/home/pi

Then in telnet
sudo mv /home/pi/coolcv_pi /opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv/

Permissions from running ls -l show this

-rw-r--r--

No execute. So we need to do chmod.

chmod 777 coolcv_pi

Now ls -l shows

-rwxrwxrwx

Because you didn't install it with the RetroPie installer, you'll need to run an additional command to patch the executable so you don't get the library errors - see the patchelf command from https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/helpers.sh#L1300

@flagrant99 the reason for not being able to just move it without sudo is you need to enable and create root password and transfer as user root and not user pi. The emulators folder belongs to root. Also try rebooting your modem by unplugging it to try to fix issue with retropie setup.

@mitu i believe he got that error trying to update from retropie setup. I was having the same issue the other day trying to update stuff from Retropie setup including trying to update Retropie setup. It was even killing the wifi on the pi when it happened. I have only seen this happen on retropie 4.4. Works fine now for me.

Well, the poster already said at the beginning that it already installed CoolVC from RP setup, but got an older version (6.2) and downloaded the 6.6 version from the atariage.com forum topic. So I don't think that's any problem with RP setup in this case.

@mitu yeah. Its the confusing title that i cant figure out what he is trying to say. He says 4.4 in the title (but not sure what he is saying is 4.4) then retropie 4.3 he is guessing in the thread so im not 100% sure what he is trying to say.

Thanks mitu. Yes the patchelf command worked!

Nav here in ssh
/opt/retropie/emulators/coolcv

Make a copy to coolcv_pi_new_fixed

Run this

sudo patchelf --replace-needed libEGL.so libbrcmEGL.so \
         --replace-needed libGLES_CM.so libbrcmGLESv2.so \
         --replace-needed libGLESv1_CM.so libbrcmGLESv2.so \
         --replace-needed libGLESv2.so libbrcmGLESv2.so \
         --replace-needed libOpenVG.so libbrcmOpenVG.so \
         --replace-needed libWFC.so libbrcmWFC.so "coolcv_pi_new_fixed"

@flagrant99 did you get a controller setup with coolcv? I installed coolcv (didn't check what version it gave me) and controllers didn't work. I saw the wiki says it creates a "mapping" text file in /home/pi and gave mappings to copy to it. I did this and it still didn't work for me.

@Nightfire Just noticed your question been a while., but I have to do this in my gpi case.
