@Folly if you are cool with it, i like to add it to RetroPie- Extras
-
Yes great isn't it !
Just added a few small improvements. -
Sure, that's ok.
Make sure you add the one with the improvements I committed just now. -
@Folly done and done
thank you

@Folly said in Vircon32 Emulator:
Just added an experimental module-script to my repository over here to install the libretro version of Vircon32.
Clone or copy it and place it in your RetroPie-Setup folder under scriptmodules/libretrocores for example.
Run RetroPie-Setup and install it from source.
Make sure you get the bios and place it in the BIOS folder.
Get some games and it should work if you have RetroArch installed.Thank you very much 👍

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. The message comes:

Looks like vircon32 needs a higher cmake to compile.
Too bad, it will not work for you. -
@Folly did you get this running on a stock Retropie build?
I don't know what cmake version the stock Retropie installs. If it doesn't install the correct version. Then I need to add that ability
-
Haven't tried but, likely, it will not work.
I would have to look at my Buster image (rpiOSdesktop + RetroPie on top) to know which version it runs.Don't you have a stock build either ?
-
@Folly I'm away from my pi right now. (Vacation)
Some opened a issue on the repo and the cmake version was too low. So I thought to hit you up to see if you could recall easily.
If not no big deal. I will mess with it once I'm back.
-
Just updated my old Buster image and checked the cmake version, it has :
version 3.16.3That is definitely too low.
-
@Folly thanks for that.
So either I make it only work on bullseye or have to have it compile it's own cmake version
-
I would go for the first, Bullseye or higher.
Buster will soon be deprecated anyway. -
@Folly yeah. I had the same thought
-
@ExarKunIv hate to ask here, not sure where to do this exactly
in your extras
Using Exarkuniv Retro pie extras, i have an issuelr-canary mid install it stops and asks for Github username and password ideas? nothing seems to be working
also still can't seem to install lr-citra both seem to be for the same system on the pi5
Thanks -
@Retrodade this is because of the whole Nintendo shutting down yuzu and stuff. So anything linking to the old repos will not work
The lr core has not been updated to point to any new repos
But someone did post a update for it. That fixes the issue.
I will need to test it and it works. I can update my script
-
@ExarKunIv ok thank you for the answer
-
Hello, sorry if I saw this a little late. I am the creator of Vircon32.
Were you able to play Vircon32 on the Pi 4? Maybe I can help you. By the way, I see you were trying to install my emulator but if you use RetroPie maybe you can use the Vircon32 core directly?
I'm not sure about that one to be honest. I know the core is integrated into RetroArch and some other front-ends (Lakka, EmuELEC...) but not sure if RetroPie can use it.
-
@Vircon32 First: Thanks for sharing vircon32 with the community.
It should not be too hard to get it compiled on a Pi4 with with RaspiOS Buster 32Bit. AFAICT the build error stems from the
foreach IN ZIP_LISTS(introduced with cmake 3.17) which should be straight forward to replace with cmake pre 3.17foreachlogic in theembed-binaries.cmakethus the requirement for 3.17 cmake can be relaxed. I might find some time soon to file a PR to your repo. -
