Suggestions for ports #4

retropieuser555

I haven't tried it yet on pi but Veloren is an open source Minecraft/Zelda esque game. Gave it a few minutes on my Mac and it has a ton of customisable options for performance as well which should help on pi

I'm starting my testing with the basic image for the pi5 that was made, link below.
then i will test it with the Vulkan image

and then i will double check them on the Pi4

LEGEND

= does not install on pi4 or pi5

= installs/works on both

[4] = installs, plays On Pi4 only

[5] - Pi5 only

if there is any of these after the check box, it means

[B] = installs/works, For the pi5
On basic Unofficial image

[V] = installs/works, for the pi5
On Vulkan Unofficial image

Emulators

[5] [B] - aethersx2 -PS2 emulator
[4] - box86 -Box86 emulator
[4]- duckstation - PlayStation emulator - Duckstation standalone
[4] - flycast -Sega Dreamcast emulator
- gearboy - Gameboy emulator
- kat5200 - Atari 8-bit/5200 emulator -
x86 only
[4] - openbor - Beat 'em Up Game Engine
[5] [B] - openbor-v7533 - Beat 'em Up Game Engine
- pico8 - Fantasy Game Emulator - Adds as a new system in RetroPie so you can directly launch carts.
[5] [B] - pokemini - Pokemon Mini emulator -

[4] - ppsspp-dev - PlayStation Portable emulator PPSSPP - latest development version

NOTE
Now when you exit aethersx2 it will delete the vulkan_shaders automatically. Thanks to @TPR for figuring this out

for supermodel-mechafatnick, you need to install it twice. It will fail the first time, but then work correctly the second time. Have not figured out WTH is with that

Good news

Lime3DS works on a Pi5. Less than perfect, but I did this for now.
1 - Go in the UI and select a rom folder with uncrypted files (above pop-ups, mouse arrow is ghosted)
2 - Go in emulation/configure../graphics/advanced --> switch vulkan for software
3 - set your controller
4 that's it

I ran Zelda for a test. It's very slow and I can't use Vulkan for now. For Vulkan , here's the log https://pastebin.com/wju1GXBw

my lime3ds.sh file (It's a first draft. it works but could be optimized)

@DTEAM thanks for working on this. ill take a look at your script

DTEAM

@ExarKunIv

The missing part is the activation of Vulkan. It's there. We must found a way in the script to activate it

see: https://github.com/azahar-emu/azahar/issues/372

ExarKunIv

@DTEAM nice fine, we can give that a shot too

ExarKunIv

@DTEAM so testing your script. im getting a Qt6 error that is missing.
im working on getting the right depends to clear that

DTEAM

@ExarKunIv
Are you able to run a game with that error?

ExarKunIv

@DTEAM it will not even build. but i found the missing depends. you have qt5 in the depends list, to me it looked like its looksing for qt6 when you look in to the CMakeLists.txt

DTEAM

@ExarKunIv

follow this first.
https://web.archive.org/web/20240304193542/https://github.com/citra-emu/citra/wiki/Building-for-Linux

in this link for QT

Deb: sudo apt install qt6-base-dev qt6-base-private-dev qt6-multimedia-dev
You may also need apt install qt6-l10n-tools qt6-tools-dev qt6-tools-dev-tools to build with translation support
You may also need apt install libgl-dev if you run into WrapOpenGL issues while configuring with CMake.

I forgot to say that. I'ts for Citra, but it works for Lime3ds

ExarKunIv

@DTEAM qt6-multimedia-dev is the only thing thats needed (as of right now) from that. so i added to the install depends part

ExarKunIv

@DTEAM continuing this here so we dont fill this thread just from lime3ds
