      @george said in Box86 and Wine on RPi4:

      As for the system slowing down, how are you seeing this? Is it from playing a game or something else?

      Could it be caused by cpu throttling?

        @mth75 indeed, perhaps the CPU is throttling for some reason. @folly, next time you see this issue, could you do the following while SSHed into your Pi and post the results?

        vcgencmd measure_temp
        vcgencmd get_throttled
        vcgencmd measure_clock v3d
        vcgencmd measure_clock arm
        ps -ef
        

        Thanks!

            I boot from my usb3.0 stick now.

            This is the first slowdown.
            (forgive me I didn't use ssh, I was able to this in the desktop enviroment)

            I managed to make a log of 2 slowdowns (I will remove the logs later, once you have seen it !):

            First one :

            temp=53.5'C
            throttled=0x0
            frequency(46)=500000992
            frequency(48)=800191424

              Thanks for the log, @folly.

              I have to look at the output of ps -ef more deeply. There are many things running that I don't have running (LXDE/OpenBox, Chromium, Pulse Audio, etc.). Any one of those things could be stressing out the CPU, causing the temperature to rise and slowing things down. But it's just a guess so far.

              I can say your temperature is much higher than what I am seeing with my Pi4. Mine has a big heat sink and fan, so it runs at about 39.0'C. Here's my output when just running EmulationStation:

              temp=39.0'C
              throttled=0x0
              frequency(46)=277646496
              frequency(48)=700154304
              

              Perhaps try running those commands when everything is running smoothly.

              Interestingly, your frequencies on the first run are higher than mine, but your CPU frequency on the second item is lower. And of course, neither times is it showing that there is throttling going on.

              In other news, I think I've been able to trace an audio issue back to Timidity. I found my Pi4 not outputting any audio today. Running the following command resolved the issue without having to restart the Pi4.

              sudo service timidity restart
              

              Perhaps see if this will resolve your audio issues too, and maybe even the performance issue. If so, we might want to consider removing Timidity from the Wine installation and only put it into the Space Cadet installation, only turning it on when the program runs, and then turning it off when Space Cadet exits.

              Can you also run the following and send the output:

              dpkg -l | grep -i fbturbo

                Thanks for looking at it.

                I can say your temperature is much higher than what I am seeing with my Pi4.

                Earlier on I had a fan on it, but had the same issues.

                There are many things running that I don't have running (LXDE/OpenBox, Chromium, Pulse Audio, etc.). Any one of those things could be stressing out the CPU, causing the temperature to rise and slowing things down. But it's just a guess so far.

                Indeed, It can, but I have no problem when I run an other the OS from another media (that has not box86/wine installed yet). It could also be the usb stick, or the pi can't supply enough power to the usb stick. I have to check this again with a new install on a harddrive with box86/wine installed also.

                Another thing is, that pulseaudio is now installed if you update your raspberry pi OS. Seems that sometimes this will break the audio. Strange thing was, that it is not always installed when you upgrade. My harddrive had still alsa only. yesterday I did a "sudo apt dist-upgrade" and now it did install pulsaudio with a good volume icon.
                It could be, when you do only "sudo apt upgrade" it doesn't upgrade as it should, breaking the audio. Here you can find more about it :
                https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/new-raspberry-pi-os-release-december-2020/

                I think I've been able to trace an audio issue back to Timidity.

                Nice job ! ;-)

                Here is the output of the command you wanted to know :

                pi@raspberrypi:~ $ dpkg -l | grep -i fbturbo
                ii  gldriver-test                        0.6                                 all          Enable/disable fbturbo when OpenGL driver is used
                

                ps.

                  I am already busy with an install on a powered usb 3.0 harddrive.
                  Using RetroPie-Setup 4.7.7 now.
                  I have already installed the mesa supplementary.
                  Now I am trying to install the box86 emulator.
                  It fails to detect the mesa supplementary.

                  log said :
                  rp_getIdxFromId command not found.
                  Looks like this command isn't supported anymore.

                  I commented the if function to install box86.

                  Had the same issue with installing wine, also commented the lines.
                  Removed timidy from the depends to check if there is improvement.
                  WoW, wine configuration was fast and ended before RetroPie-Setup got back in the menu !

                  Do you have an idea to fix the depedancy checks for box86 and wine ?

                  Tested a while without timidity, worked good.

                  Installed timidity manually and installed spacecadet3dpinball again.
                  (spacecadet3dpinball got stuck in the check also, same problem, commented also the IF function)
                  All works good, music and sound is working from the hdmi audio port.

                  Well, tested all for quite a while now and up till now it works quite good :-)
                  (lets say 4 hours)

                    I adjusted script and removed the lines in which the box86 and mesa installs are detected (or not). This enabled me to complete the installs.

                        Thanks @Folly. I'll take a look at what happened to rp_getIdxFromId and see if there is a replacement.

                          Thanks @Folly, this is cool. I've been looking at some of the recent commits for RetroPie and it looks like there is a new feature enabling external repositories for modules, which might be good for this use case. That would mean that once we get things figured out with installation directory, ports vs. emulator, etc. A whole repository can be created for the Konami remakes.

                          What do you think?

                            Looks like this functionality was removed at about the same time I submitted my pull request for the script modules. But it also looks like some functionality may still exist and be simpler to make sure the chain still works. I'll do some work and update my scripts. I'll also test doing a dist upgrade to see where Pulse Audio is getting installed and how it affects things.

                            Thanks again!

                              Yes indeed, I read that also about external repositories.
                              Pretty good idea !

                              I just did an experiment on my usb3.0 stick, because I found this :
                              https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/101388/sata-3-ssd-too-slow-on-raspberry-pi-4-even-with-external-power
                              https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=245931

                              I turned uas off for my stick in boot/cmdline.txt

                              So I will have to test here and there, but I think this could be the solution.
                              Tested, still slow after a while, perhaps there is some corruption going on.
                              I think I will wipe that stick and try fresh again.

                                Today my HDMI audio was gone again (in the desktop enviroment).
                                I removed timidity, did a shutdown and checked the cables.
                                Then booted my pi again and my HDMI audio was back again.
                                I don't know if timidity is causing this, but I thought you should know.

                                  I still have the SpaceCadet Pinball game installation .EXE (it's freeware, so no harm done):

                                      "Abandonware" is a more appropriate terminology in the case of this game, but yes. The original release/full game "Full Tilt Pinball" is classified as such:
                                      -========================-

                                      The Windows Game is just an altered downgraded Demo Port of the original game, re-written in the C language (for wider CPU compatibility).

                                      Windows itself dropped it from Vista because of a collision bug in the 64-bit version they couldn't fix (works fine on Windows 10).

                                      They tried reviving the licence in 2018 as a "Microsoft Garage" project, but Cinematronics refused to give them the rights because of some complicated "only for Windows 95" mumbo-jumbo.

                                      In short, it's as good as most MS-DOS games.

                                        In this case, please remove the download link - without a release or distribution license, it's just a regular copyrighted game.

                                          I really hate it when developers leave their games to rot indefinitely, but still keep a leash over them like they're going to earn any money from it today.
