Help! :D

@duglor not sure whats going on there. but im guessing that it has to do with the RetroPie version you are running

they change how the helper scripts work and the lr-applewin script was made with that in mind.

if you dont want to update the main RetroPie setup to the latest. you will have to edit the install script and change a line

I will gladly edit the install script and change a line or I would be in your debt if you would, but again, of course I will.

@ExarKunIv
you can reply here or take the chat to my username here @gmail.com :) I'm really wanting to use applewin in retropie 4.7.1 !

I would need to change - https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra/blob/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-applewin.sh - which lines to what? Should I use a text editor or should i use something else?

PS2 (Aethersx2) not starting on Retropie (RaspberryPi 5)

Hello!
Installed Retropie-extras, vulkan drivers, added kernel8.img and got proper BIOS with PS2 games in .iso format.

I'm using Full desktop Raspberry OS, from which I use alt+f1 key kombination to start emulationstation from terminal. This way everythng has worked do far with all the other emulators.

But PS2 just doesn't open and shows that errors are logged at runcommand.log.
This is what runcommand.log shows:

rm: cannot remove '/opt/retropie/configs/ps2/Config/cache/vulkan_pipelines.bin': No such file or directory
Parameters: 
Executing: xinit /dev/shm/retropie_xinitrc -- vt1 -keeptty

(EE) 
Fatal server error:
(EE) Server is already active for display 0
	If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
	and start again.
(EE) 
(EE) 
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
	 at http://wiki.x.org
 for help. 
(EE) 
X connection to :0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Any ideas?
Thank you! :)

@Peeteris yes the problem is you are using a desktop. 90% of all my scripts are going to have issues with that since they use XINIT to fake a dasktop to run.

so you will have to go in /opt/retropie/configs/ps2 and edit the emulators.cfg and remove XINIT; from the command line

that should do it.

@ExarKunIv Thank you for the anwer!
It's still not working, and the error code now appears different:

@Peeteris im going to have to go with wayland drivers are missing,
you can try to install them with sudo apt-get install wayland

this might or might not fix the issue. i dont test my scripts with a desktop since none of the official retropie releases have it. since Xinit didnt install. i have no idea on what else is missing

Peeteris

@ExarKunIv Wayland can't be installed, but I can probably enable it in the Raspi config. I guess this error is because the new Raspberry OS uses new window-stacking compositor called LABWC.
Well, I just disabled desktop environmet on start as that's an easier solution, it seems. Now PS2 is working, thank you!

duglor

Where might i find the most recent lr-ppsspp-dev that still works with retropie 4.71?

ExarKunIv

@duglor you will have to dig around on the past commits to find a working one and manually drop it onto your system.

I know I have had a issue with that system for awhile now.
