Can you please remind me how to update RetroPie-Extras?
cd ~/RetroPie-Extra git pull origin
If you need to update from ZeroJay's repo - first, discard the most recent commit:
git reset --hard HEAD^
Switch to ExarKuniv's new repo:
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra
Then pull again from the updated origin:
git pull origin

I must be doing something wrong. Or I'm not reading this correctly. I ran all 5 commands and still don't see those 2 emulators under experimental.

You then need to run
./install-extras.sh
and select which modules will be copied to your RP-Setup directory, then they should be available in the Setup script. -
@sleve_mcdichael @Folly @ExarKunIv That worked, thank you. I now see them. Arduous installed fine. But lr-samecdi gives me this error after over an hour:
-
@Retro-Arcade-Fan that's odd since it did install fine for me when I tested before I added it to me repo.
I'll look when in I'm front of my pi again
-
What kind of raspberry pi do you use and how much ram does it have ?
I will try it on my rpi4-8gb and see if it works.
Edit : I worked without any problemsOn my Apple M1 with Debian11 in UTM I had the same problem as you.
Manually compiling worked though, so we have to look further.
RPi4 Model B 8gb / Freecom 2Tb USB3 / Raspberry pi OS/Bullseye+Desktop/gcc10 / RetroPie 4.7.20
-
@Folly I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 gigs of ram.
-
@Folly ok i tested it on my Pi4 4gb, and it compiled and installed fine. on my end
i did see that it does not make a folder for the bios, so i needed to make a folder for it.when i tested a rom, it starts with a gray screen and a popup says that it cant start the game due to missing files, but i dont know what files its missing.
i did go into the setting and manually set where to fine the bios, and still same error
UPDATE
i tried a few different versions of the bios and a few differeent roms, and still nothing. just a gray box and a error popup about missing files -
Copy cdimono1.zip (or .7z) in (see
mame-merged
) :
/home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/same_cdi/bios
(Indeed perhaps a good idea to create the directory in the module-script)The bios has to contain (sha1sum filename) :
d961de803c89b3d1902d656ceb9ce7c02dccb40a cdi200.rom
53360a1f21ddac952e95306ced64186a3fc0b93e cdi220b.rom
5d757ab46b8c8fc36361555d978d7af768342d47 cdi220.rom
fdf8d78d6a0df4a56b5b963d72eabd39fcec163f zx405037p__cdi_servo_2.1__b43t__llek9215.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7201
56d0acd7caad51c7de703247cd6d842b36173079 zx405042p__cdi_slave_2.0__b43t__zzmk9213.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7206That should work.

@Folly Any suggestions on the initial install of lr-samecdi for me since I can't seem to install it at all?
-
Not yet,
As @ExarKunIv also uses a 4gb rpi4 it's hard to tell what the problem is.
I assume you use 32 bit OS, right ?I had the same problem on my Apple M1 running debian11 (aarch64) in UTM.
But manually compiling it worked.
If you are able to compile it manually, then we can see if that works.instructions are here :
https://github.com/libretro/same_cdi -
@Folly Yes I'm using the 32bit OS. And I'm afraid manually compiling goes beyond my skillset. I don't want to keep bugging you on this. And I don't know what to do with those files on the page you sent.
If I wanted to try the original install again via ./install-extras.sh, what would be the cleanest way to do so? Remove any files first?

Fair enough.
And I don't know what to do with those files on the page you sent.
Which file the bios files ?
You need the cdimoni.zip bios file from the mame-merged set and place them in the proper place, otherwise the emulator won't work.If I wanted to try the original install again via ./install-extras.sh, what would be the cleanest way to do so? Remove any files first?
You have to ask @ExarKunIv, I never used that.

what are you trying to do.
i have not updated any of the scripts since yesterday, and the CDi one i have not touched since i put it in my repo.
so if you have it, thats the latest one out right now till @Folly tells me that he has updated his
but if you run
cd ~ cd RetroPie-Extra/ ./update-extras.sh
it will look for a update, as long as you are running the version with our GUI menu, but since you are messing with the newest scripts i put in it, im going with you have the GUI menu

@ExarKunIv
Tried to install lr-citra and got the errorcollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [src/tests/CMakeFiles/tests.dir/build.make:291: bin/Release/tests] Error 1 make[1]: *** [CMakeFiles/Makefile2:1517: src/tests/CMakeFiles/tests.dir/all] Error 2 make: *** [Makefile:146: all] Error 2 Could not successfully build lr-citra - 3DS emulator - Citra port for libretro (/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/lr-citra/build/src/citra_libretro/citra_libretro.so not found).
The full log is here. Was able to get several others to install but did have a few fail. Citra being the one I cared about the most.
I am running retropie on top of Ubuntu 22.04 x86. As always any help is appreciated and if nothing else thanks for the extras.
-
@WhiteT982 sorry that you are getting a error.
unfortunatly i dont have a x86 to test these on, so your best bet will be to open a issue ticket on the github for that libretrocore. they should be able to help you way more then anything i can do. -

I've done this and it seemed to work fine, but when I go into RetroPie-Setup none of the new additions appear in the RetroPie-Extra section of "Manage experimental packages". What have I forgotten?
