@fun4stuff update retroarch from source

fun4stuff

ok i tried updating retroarch. It won't update. I get the error message "/home/pi/retropie-setup/scriptmodules/emulators/retroarch/01_hotkey_hack.diff failed to apply"

it then tells me to check a log file.

here is the contents of that log file: http://pastebin.com/uT7zcYZ3

thanks again

fun4stuff

@fun4stuff ok i was able to update retroarch after updateing RetroPie-Setup... it's updating now...

fun4stuff

@edmaul69 hmmph. Now my controllers do not work in the game. Only work at emulatiknstation menu.

edmaul69

@fun4stuff ok. Funny that obsidian spider has been having the same problem on x86. Try updating from binary and see if it fixes that.

fun4stuff

@edmaul69
Thanks. Updating from binary fixed controller issue.

Still lists "no achievements to display" under achievement list in retroarch. Now also lists "achievement list (hardcore)" even though hardcore is off. Didn't see that previously.

meleu

@fun4stuff can you post a log after updating?

fun4stuff

@meleu which log file? i can't seem to find the runcommand.log. /dev/smh and /tmp/ are empty without any file or directories. This is after launching game with verbose logging.

meleu

@fun4stuff I mean /dev/shm/runcommand.log after enabling verbose logging on runcommand menu.
The same way you did above.

fun4stuff

@meleu
there is no longer any log file created.

/dev/shm/ is empty after enabling verbose logging.

nevermind. i tried an NES emulator rather than SNES and there now is a log:

@meleu

I must be going crazy. Anyway, here is the log after running SNES emulator / rom with verbose logging. It appeared now. Not sure what I did differently.

http://pastebin.com/0giqQkvB

now it says there are no achievements for this rom. it previously said there were achievements for this same rom.

the prior nes rom says there are achievements, but nothing is displayed in retroarch.

edmaul69

@fun4stuff for nes you need to use the emulator fceumm not nestopia. Nestopia does not have retroachievements.

fun4stuff

@edmaul69
fceumm doesn't seem to be working. crashes back to emulationstation.

Nestopia does not have retroachievements.

Are you sure? Nestopia is listed as being supported and although I'm not near my setup at the moment, I could swear they're active when I run it.

edmaul69

@mediamogul if so, not sure when. It always told me the core is not supported. I will update nestopia and test.

About the cores I'm trying to keep this up to date: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/wiki/RetroAchievements

It's a wiki, anyone can contribute. :-)

fun4stuff

@meleu
Is retroachievements even working? Can't find much online about it

meleu

@fun4stuff yes, it is working. I asked for the logs because I'm used to get a lot of timeouts when there are many users playing. The retroachievements.org servers aren't that powerful. But it doesn't seem to be your problem though...

I'm on a trip and the internet here is really bad. I'll try to check what's hapenning when I have a chance.

fun4stuff

@meleu cool, thanks for the help

fun4stuff

@meleu
Well i was able to get fceumm to work. It appears that the roms have to be unzipped in order to load. Still no achievements though. At least not with the roms tried.
