PCSX ReARMed (standalone) error install

fredcsn

Hello everybody.

I'm playing here with an old Raspberry Pi (model 1B) that arrived for me.

After reading a lot here in the forum and in other places, and for the tests that I carried out, I decided to leave the 4.3 version of Retropie installed.
I know and understand that this is an old version, however, I am trying to add the PCSX ReARMed (standalone) emulator, via Retropie Setup. But it is giving an error in the installation.

Here's the error log it's giving: https://pastebin.com/CZ7NfsTx

I apologize in advance if I'm breaking any rules.

Note: Oh yes, I even changed the path in sources.list to fetch the old raspbian repository.

If you have a spare sd card, try with the latest version of RetroPie to see if the issue exists there too. If is working with the latest, then the issue is with old 4.3 version, maybe is possible to downgrade pcsx-rearmed to a version that working with 4.3.

@windg I did the test here as suggested by installing version 4.8 Retropie.

If I install the standalone version of PCSX ReARMed via source, it gives the same error. However, in version 4.8 of Retropie there is the option of pre-compiled installation via binary. And in the installation via binary it works.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge, but how do I do a binary installation in Retropie version 4.3?

Maybe it could work too...

Without i be sure, binary files aren't available for old versions. I will mention @mitu so he knows the failure to build pcsx-rearmed from source .

@windg Thank you so much. :)

@fredcsn did you do an update from the main RetroPie menu first before trying to build from source? (Or update the RetroPie -Setup script to pull in any changes since the 4.8 image was created)?

fredcsn

@BuZz Yes, I made the updates from version 4.8 and still the same error in the installation in the source.

Updates from version 4.3, I believe because it is an old version, some inconsistencies occur when updating the Retropie Setup script. However, the same error happens.

Let's try to test the stable versions of pcsx rearmed(r23) .
You have to modify the pcsx-rearmed.sh

Run from terminal :

sudo nano ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/pcsx-rearmed.sh

and modify the line

rp_module_repo="git
https://github.com/notaz/pcsx_rearmed.git master"

to be

rp_module_repo="git https://github.com/notaz/pcsx_rearmed.git r23"

To save the settings press ctrl+O and ctrl+X.
