RetroPie X86 - Could not successfully build lr-genesis-plus-gx

[obsidianspider]

It's a Celeron Chromebook with 4GB of RAM. The OS is 64-bit, but I'm not sure if/how RetroPie determines any of that.

If it's 32, is there any chance you'd be willing to test Killer Instinct for MAME 2003 once you get things up and running? It would probably be the first time in history that title has been played in RetroPie.

Per the logging, MAME 2003 didn't like the CHD, but Killer Instinct works just fine with MAME 2010. This is on a "real" computer with a Celeron and 4GB of RAM.

Sounds like a 64 bit build of RetroArch and MAME 2003 to me :( Thank you for testing.

For what it's worth, as of last week the buildbot is definitely compiling 32-bit x86 MAME 2003 cores for Windows that run Killer Instinct.

I don't think it can work on your architecture without customizing the RetroPie-setup script to build a 32-bit RetroArch and core, which a x64 bit system can run. If this is really your game and you'd enjoy playing it, I would be willing to try to help customize the build to make it work, but otherwise I think that's a project for another day...

edit: Killer Instinct does need a ZIP and a CHD of the correct version, which is different than the MAME 2010.

@markwkidd I am trying to get Genesis Plus GX to compile.
You're the one who brought up MAME and Killer Instinct…

[markwkidd]

@obsidianspider it's true. I need to set linux up and retropie x86 to do my own test. I'm currently trying to get the hang of building retroarch and cores myself, in Windows with mysys.

there's a bunch of errors in that log file. the message that retropie-setup gives you is a generic one that basically means 'this build failed'. i would log an issue here: https://github.com/ekeeke/Genesis-Plus-GX

you could say something like "Build errors on x86" then include the error log.

might be also good if someone else who runs x86 retropie can confirm they get the same error.

Build errors on x86

Thanks! I'm still very green with Github, so hopefully the issue I created is helpful.

[dankcushions]

sorry, looks like i pointed you to the wrong github repo! but it looks like maybe the issue is fixed now if you try again?

[obsidianspider]

@dankcushions I tried again and it didn't fail after 3 seconds, but it still failed. :-/

The github tracker I linked earlier is the right one.

[obsidianspider]

Looks like it's a problem on a Pi too.

I submitted a fix (the original issue was resolved, but there was another problem with the fix due to a duplicate static)

The fix may or may not be accepted - it's one way of fixing it - depending if they want to change the file that uses INLINE or change the definition of INLINE and remove static, and instead use static in the source where needed.

The repository has been updated and I can now build in x86_64
