Is Yabasanshiro emulator coming on retropie?

[pjft]

@myzar I didn't touch those options but will try them out tomorrow, thanks!

What's your runcommand like?

Also, I struggled to map the sdl joystick inputs, but it might have been my mistake.

Thanks for putting this together!

Please can we drop this. This thread is beginning to feel like it's a personal attack

The post above mine made it looked like "libretro" (me) was pilfering upstream code while not contributing, while tbh i would just be glad if i could delete any trace of that core because it's just a thorn in my side, so i think clearing up any kind of misunderstanding was important. For the past year i've even been recommending people to use the standalone version instead of the libretro core.

Anyway, the original assumption that 3.2 would solve something with pi4 is wrong, 3.2 is about dma timings, and judging by the number of reports of regression on yabasanshiro's discord/github, things aren't looking too good even with latest binary (3.2.3), and available sources are even more behind (3.2.1)

this is my command line

yabasanshiro = "sudo xinit /opt/retropie/emulators/yabasanshiro/yabasanshiro --autoframeskip=1 --bios=/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/saturn_bios.bin -a -f -i %ROM%"

and this is my ini

the only other thing I can offer up is i seen some warning relating to gcc on the pi. The android build is using gcc5

Thanks @myzar . Based on this, I got a few more details that might help others.

For anyone trying this on regular RetroPie:

• First, plug in a mouse in order to set up your controls in the menu. If the top menu doesn't work, remove the -fflag from the previous runcommand suggestion.
• You'll need to set a proper resolution and window height for your screen. In my case - 1080p - what worked best was 832x624 as window and screen resolution in the settings. It still crops a bit of te screen, but form all the ones I tried it's the one that shows as close to full screen and showing most of the screen as well in it. And then "Fit to Window" and "Start in Fullscreen".
• The config file is in /root/.config/yabause/qt/yabause.ini.
• In my specific case, using the Saturn BIOS and Dynarec crashed the game I tested. I ended up ticking the "Emulate Saturn BIOS" or something and it works well.
• Set resolution/rendering mode to "Original", so it doesn't render the game in a higher resolution than it should (performance reasons).
• If you want to be able to exit the emulator via your controller, the best I could do was to set up xboxdrv, map one of the buttons (home) to a key (Escape, for instance) and then in the emulator menu, go to Shortcuts and set that button/key as the shortcut to Quit. This part was not very fun because of my lack of experience with xboxdrv. Not looking forward to repeating this.

Here's my config file - you'll need to adjust the controls for you:

I'll test this more in the coming days, but so far so good and it is a good improvement over the libretro core - even if just for the auto-frameskip working better. Thank you all who helped get this to this stage!

Stupid question, but where did you install the libqt5 files from? For me the standalone will neither run nor compile - and when i try to compile an inability to find the qt5webenginewidgets/qt5OpenGL seems to be the cause.

[grant2258]

sudo apt-get install libqt5opengl5-dev if compiling else libqt5opengl5

[pjft]

@mechafatnick libqt5multimedia5 is also needed at runtime at least.

[mechafatnick]

Thanks folks!

It's weird - I've definitely got the latest version of libqt5opengl5-dev, but its still saying it cant find 'a package configuration file provided by
"Qt5WebEngineWidgets"'

(I gather building the qt5webengine from scratch is a bit of a ball ache)

basic build instructions anything else will be dependency related I had to do some python tweeks on mint

sudo apt install git cmake qtbase5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev libopenal-dev libsdl2-dev
git clone https://github.com/devmiyax/yabause.git
cd yabause
git clone https://github.com/firebase/firebase-cpp-sdk.git -b v6.11.0 yabause/src/qt/firebase-cpp-sdk
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DYAB_PORTS=qt ../yabause

@pjft i've recompiled it fixing the osd crash , now we can use the osd to see the fps if we want

@myzar I actually thought it was related to the OSD plugin that was selected - I changed it back to OpenGL or something, though I admit I didn't test it out. Thanks!

[ash0904]

@myzar so how would i setup the standalone version of yabasanshiro?

[roslof]

@mechafatnick any luck? I'm having the same issue, even after following @grant2258 's recommendations to the letter.

[grant2258]

@roslof you having problems compiling or using the binary?

[roslof]

@grant2258 having trouble compiling, even after installing the libraries you listed above. Getting:

CMake Error at src/qt/CMakeLists.txt:27 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindQt5WebEngineWidgets.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this
  project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
  "Qt5WebEngineWidgets", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by
  "Qt5WebEngineWidgets" with any of the following names:

    Qt5WebEngineWidgetsConfig.cmake
    qt5webenginewidgets-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "Qt5WebEngineWidgets" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
  or set "Qt5WebEngineWidgets_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above
  files.  If "Qt5WebEngineWidgets" provides a separate development package or
  SDK, be sure it has been installed.

I'm only a little smarter than stupid, so was planning to try running the executable posted by myzar a bit later, along w/his sample config.

[grant2258]

@roslof i assume youve done all this

sudo apt install git cmake qtbase5-dev qtmultimedia5-dev libqt5opengl5-dev libopenal-dev libsdl2-dev
git clone https://github.com/devmiyax/yabause.git
cd yabause
git clone https://github.com/firebase/firebase-cpp-sdk.git -b v6.11.0 yabause/src/qt/firebase-cpp-sdk
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DYAB_PORTS=qt ../yabause

what i need you to do is goto cd yabuse where ever you cloned it

rm  .gitignore
git clean -Xfd
git clone https://github.com/firebase/firebase-cpp-sdk.git -b v6.11.0 yabause/src/qt/firebase-cpp-sdk
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DYAB_PORTS=qt ../yabause

edit changed this up a little due to the git ignore so all build directories clear as well

I had to switch to the standard buster repo to install that dep i cursed it alot
