Pi5 and lr-citra can't install how do i fix or install?

AwesomeKingClem

@abj Don’t worry, I will be getting to it. Life’s just happening right now, so it might take a while.

Oh, and a quick forum-related moral question: What should I do if a thread of mine in my signature is 12 days old? Should I bump it, make a new thread, or just wait longer for a response? I am not trying to bring attention to it via this question, I sincerely don’t know how I should approach this.

just wait longer for a response

unfortunately there is nothing retropie can do. from what i read from mitu said its been reported to the teams that can do something about it. so all you can do is wait, or follow up on the respected sites

@AwesomeKingClem
Dolphin team have a discord server, you can rise the issue and there, maybe they can do something faster about it. From the facts so far, RetroPie devs, they can't do something about it , it's a driver limitation.

@ExarKunIv
I am assuming that, with the lack of responses to my last message, which was the actual current issue I was talking about, where it mentioned any temporary solutions:
there are none.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

Welp.. back to more important problems.

driver limitation is mean "Rpi5 Open GL Es3.1" but lr-citra need "Open GL 3.3"?

@retro777 Sorry, i was talking about an issue of Dolphin emulator, not citra.

I don't know if lr-citra can run in the RPi5. I haven't saw a video and the other projects haven't it available also.

Bad news, Citra emulator will be discontinued : https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/4/24090357/nintendo-yuzu-emulator-lawsuit-settlement. I hope this will not affect the development of other systems emulators.

ExarKunIv

@abj i dont see this being a issue with this script. its coming from Libretro , which is the core that retroarch uses.

if we where to try to use the standalone then i can see a problem. but right now work is still being done from other groups then yuzu.

but alone time will tell

abj

I will sound exaggerated but maybe, for the safety of the RetroPie developers, it is better to remove emulators for the latest Nintendo systems like gamecube, wii, DS.

ExarKunIv

@abj they dont have too. all retropie is a front end to easly run the programs. that's it.

they are not involved in making the program. Unless someone from the programs dev team comes and tells them to remove it. they will not do that unless they deem it necessary

and nintendo already knows of all the programs out there. they target the ones that are making waves and making money from donations. dolphin is still going and nintendo knows all too well about them

@abj oh sad
retropie cant run 3ds emulator on commandl ine(retropie)
really now can't stable run on many emulator/emulation station on X-GUI at RPI5.

AwesomeKingClem

@abj Welp, I may still be able it get it working if I am quick enough, but it was nice using Citra while I had the chance. I never cared for Yuzu, though.

ExarKunIv

there are other repos for citra. a ton of people backed it up when this all started.
so some group will come along rebrand it or something just to stick it to Nintendo.

also the lr core which this script uses is still up. so its still out there

@ExarKunIv I finally got the chance to access my RetroPie, and the kernel=kernel8.img line is indeed in the config.txt file. I just added the error message line, and I am about to attempt to install it again.

Edit: Here are my results.
Custom-added error log: not found
Default error log: https://pastebin.com/DEVV5w4S
lr-citra.sh file: https://pastebin.com/3Ek2cy3H

I don't know why it started asking for my credentials in the default error log, which is different since when I last tried it.

That's a 'red herring' - when Github doesn't find a (public) repository, it assumes it's private and tries to authenticate (and fails). The reason it fails is because almost all repositories under the citra-emu organization are gone (see the Yuzu news mentioned above) and some of them are used by lr-citra.

@mitu Soo.. it's unbuildable? Ded?

Edit: Well.. many people backed up the Citra repo files, so could I edit the .sh to use those instead?

ExarKunIv

@AwesomeKingClem if you are using the script for lr-citra in RetroPie-Extras. that repo its going to is still up. but thats me just using a web browers to go to it.

dont have my pi 5 up and going just yet. and i dont have a free pi 4 just to test the git of it

The main repository for the Libretro fork is up, but it uses a number of sub-module referencing repositories under citra-emu, which are no longer available:

....
Cloning into '/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/lr-citra/externals/dynarmic'...
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/citra-emu/dynarmic.git/'

Failed to clone 'externals/dynarmic'. Retry scheduled

Maybe, that needs to be tested though.

Citra repo files

archive.org backups?

mitu

The archive site doesn't automatically archives everything, though undoubtedly somewhere there's a backup of the Citra source code and probably also of their dependencies.
