Emulators

[P] -
aethersx2 .sh -"PS2 emulator"

thanks to @retropieuser555 for working on this

abj

Many thanks for the addition of Aethersx2 !!

ExarKunIv

Ok all

i have gone through my testing for Emulators and Libretrocores

right now only aethersx2 is the only standalone Emulator working

but most Libretrocores that installed if not all are working just fine
there are 2 that i cant find the correct files for. so i cant say for sure they are no work

next i will be going onto the Ports and testing the ones that install.
again once im done with testing the ones that installed. i will go back and see what i can do about all the others

ExarKunIv

Ok

i have gone through the ports and have tested the ones that say they have installed.

all that are marked with P work.

most that say N never installed, but i don't have the file check set or not set correctly so it does not detect that it was not installed

last ill test out the Supplementary
from there i will start slowly working on seeing if i can get the ones that dont work. working

ExarKunIv

Supplementary is now been tested.

for now im going to go back and put pi4 flags on all the ones that didn't install or work. it will be less confusing for anyone just starting with Retropie-Extras.

as i go through them i will change them back for the ones that do work.

i already have a feeling that a bunch will just not work. since the repos are no longer being maintained so no work on getting them work on 64bit is being done

as always if any one wants to take a cracked at getting anything working. please do.
i appreciate any and all help

I find something that maybe is useful for building lr-yabashanshiro to Pi5 : https://github.com/libretro/yabause/commit/4e65871ec0a2582fa2dbe055fccb6573dbd68d4f . i will try it the newxt days to see if it will work.

update: i have try few things but no luck so far.

I've added a script for you for Ocarina of Time on your GitHub. If that works I'll make a similar one for Majora's Mask source port

ExarKunIv

@retropieuser555 Tthank You . i have been following your post about it. it was on my need to make this list for my collection.

retropieuser555

@duglor do you have the log file for when ppsspp dev fails? It works for me but I'm probably not using the same setup as yourself

ExarKunIv

@retropieuser555 i think its due to he is running 4.7.1, and not the latest version.

i have not tested it again, yet

ExarKunIv

@DTEAM Im replying here since the other topic is a year old and I don't like to naro a old topic

what bios do you have? And you have it in the ps2 bios folder?

The only one I got to work for me to work while testing was ps2-0230e-20080220.bin. have not tried looking for another.

Other then GTA. I have not tested it more.

I'll take a look again.

But unfortunately the log file doesn't tell us crap. It just says Xinit crashed.

And I can't recall is aethersx2 has a crash log itself

DTEAM

@ExarKunIv

I got this bios (the same - europe) and the US one. I also tried an europeen game and it’s the same result. On the log, the resolution seems to be fixed. My screen is 480x800. Could it be just that?

I’ll try to use a bios from another source.

Not too sure
I'll check my system to compare

DTEAM

@ExarKunIv

I did many tests and it doesn't work. Here's step by step what I did from the begining for aethersx2:

in config.txt --> kernel=kernel8.img
I download the last version of your script.
I installed sdl2 with those additions
I intalled your script
I got the same bios than you (ps2-0230e-20080220.bin) and ps2-0230a-20080220.bin
I got .chd and iso roms (US and EU)
I load the emulator with PCSX2.ini BIOS = " empty " and with BIOS = ps2-0230e-20080220.bin

It won't load. Always the same .log result. Did I miss a step ?

Note: I don't see aethersx2 in your first post

mitu

@DTEAM Please stop tagging me directly in all your support issues. I'm reading all forum posts when time allows me and if I have something to add to any topic, I will.

ExarKunIv

@DTEAM i have not redid my test build yet (doing other things, sorry)
the only thing i see different is that you have added vulkan
I dont. so thats the only thing that differes

since i dont know how everything really works, i dont know if this will or will not effect other systems

possible someone who knows the inerworkings of the retropie will chime in

if it might effect it, then there is nothing that can be done. aethersx2 is not compiled in anyway or form. it is just installed from a flatpack. we just got it working.

is the only thing that is different

so i redid my test build
i used the latest OS version from the Pi site, july 4th is the release date
i used https://github.com/danielfreer/raspberrypi5-retropie-setup to help setup retropie
ps2-0230e-20080220.bin is my working bios (md5 checksums is dc69f0643a3030aaa4797501b483d6c4) in the bios/ps2 folder

roms i tested GTA.iso and Digimon World - Data Squad.iso

enabled kernel=kernel8.img

everything is working as it was when i added the script.
i did not change anything. my setup is a vanilla as you can get

I dont know whats going on, the only thing is you are enabling vulkan I dont see why that would matter, but thats the only thing i see different

DTEAM

@ExarKunIv

Thanks for your support , i'll try to figure it out what’s happened

DTEAM

@ExarKunIv

Last question. For the Bios, do you manually add it ( name of the BIOS ) in the .ini file or you let the .ini file as it is?

ExarKunIv

@DTEAM don't edit anything in the ini. It knows where the location is.

The PS2 bios folder is sysmlinked so it's already done
