unofficial Retroarch 1.8.1

@tobas So why aren't you making a backup image, extracting your games/configs from it and start fresh on stretch or try a buster image from the weekly page? This all seems like a waste of time. You'll have to repeat this again when stretch support dies. I've briefly tried the pi3 buster image and had no issues.
-
@tobas You should have an error message if using Jessie when you enter RetroPie-Setup saying it's no longer supported btw. Does that not show up btw?
Why so eager for newer RetroArch btw? What's the current version missing? It's not the case of a straightforward update which is why it's taking some time. @mitu has had to rework the shader configs to work with the way we configure them. Plus bugs that have needed to been fixed.

@BuZz actually no. I've had no problems upgrading anything. I really just want to have the new achievement support. I don't plan on upgrading anymore after I have achievement support on all supported systems, and the fixes to the pc engine cd achievements that were broken.
-
@tobas please can you go into RetroPie-Setup and tell me what it says at the top of the menu. And see if you get a dialog window first. It should inform you your version is unsupported.
-
Unless you are running a 3rd party image? Where did you get the RetroPie image?
-
@Darksavior I'm upgrading to stretch now. if all goes well I'll likely upgrade to buster. I spent a lot of time building and tweaking the image I have. honestly I love it. I would be crushed if I couldn't use it anymore. I would be very depressed. I know its silly but I get emotional over stuff like this.
-
@BuZz I originally had a plain image I got from here with basic emulation station but I wanted attract mode. I had no idea how to make that work so a friend of mine was nice enough to stick a neat attract mode on it. I'll look at it once stretch is done installing.
-
well. everything is gone now. after the upgrade. the attract mode I set up. everything is gone. I guess I can't upgrade after all.
-
@tobas but you backed your image up before attempting this right?
-
@quicksilver I did. funny thing is. everything is still there. all the folders, roms, settings, its just that retropie cant find it?
-
libEGL warning DRI3: xcb_connect failed
libEGL warning DRI2: xcb_connect failed
And that repeats one more time
/opt/retropie/confines/all/auto start.sh line 3: Segmentation fault. Attract
That’s what it says when I try to boot
-
I just need to tell it where to find my attract mode files but I don’t know how. I wish I was smarter with this stuff.
-
How did you update? Please provide more details.
-
@BuZz I just followed the instructions to update from Jessie to stretch that I saw on a YouTube video. It was pretty straightforward....I just remembered something. During the install it asked me a few times if I wanted to keep certain settings as they were or let the install change them. Perhaps I should have said no to Those?
I followed the instructions in this video.
-
@tobas you would be better of backing up configs and ROMs and using a fresh image. Especially if you're not too familiar - we don't recommend doing an upgrade over a fresh install (and then restoring configs/ROMs). I suspect though one problem may be you didn't update after in RetroPie-Setup. The old binaries won't work after an update.
-
The settings you overwrote are probably not too important. Things like the samba config - you can restore that from RetroPie-Setup in the configuration section. And you may need to reconfigure autostart / autologin too.
-
@BuZz so it may be solvable if I update retropie setup?
If I go with a fresh image I may as well toss my pi in the garbage. I won’t use it again. I have no idea how to remake that attract mode and my friend that helped me with it sadly isn’t around anymore to help me again.

@tobas said in unofficial Retroarch 1.8.1:
@BuZz so it may be solvable if I update retropie setup?
No, that won't be enough - you'll have to also upgrade the binaries.
But, as @BuZz suggested, better start with a clean image - upgrading in-place is not something that's been tested and it's not the recommended way. -
@mitu okay. So upgrade retropie setup and upgrade the binaries. Is that difficult?
I have no idea where to even begin rebuilding what has already been built and I have no one to help me with it. A fresh image will do nothing for me, I would have no idea where to begin remaking anything near the attract mode that I had.
