@gvx64 said in 3DS emulator for Pi users based on "Borked 3DS":

@DTEAM After investigating further, the problem is on my end. I am going to re-work it and try posting a new commit. Is the problem limited to the Graphics -> Advanced tab or are there others? I believe that the System tab already has scrolling bars enabled.

It's others. For some, you have the scroll bar, but even if you scroll down, you don't have access to all the options. I'll try to give you a more detailed overview tomorrow.

@mitu no, i only play fc/arcade

@mitu I wrote it on Debian 12 with gnome fallback mode (x11)

Edit: I have now tested on Debian with wayland and it seems to work the same. The window refocus if I Alt-Tab. Although it seems that the standard emulationstation executable does not minimize on wayland for me for some reason.

I made a separate script that skips if wayland is in use as I have no issues with it and the first script introduced some weird behaviour..

@mitu said in impossible to build lr-PUAE on Intel NUC:

Upstream project will fix their build on newer distros with a recent glibc, you'll have to wait until they do so to use lr-puae. Use an older Ubuntu LTS version or one of the other Amiga emulators available (lr-puae-2021, fs-uae) in the mean time.

mmmm.. using a old version of lts it's not best idea for me. For absurd i have installed OS recently on this miniPC :)
Try to consider fs-aue but reading this guide quickly:

Need to re-read whit more accurancy and know if it's on my knowledge :)

You're probably low on RAM - on an 64bit PC I thin you need at least 8Gb (if not more) to compile current MAME.

mmmm also here.... my actually miniPC as only 4GB of ram DDR3. i can limit the usage of build in some mode (problably on future i can't build future version or update thru retropie-setup but but it's better than nothing) ?

@mitu yeah maybe it's not worth looking into that project. I see that I get issues with python right now :)

If the original project is abandon it might be better to start something new perhaps.

@testudo said in Retroarch not registering MIDI Soundfont Files for DosBox-Pure:

@roslof Thanks for the suggestion. I removed all but one SoundFont file from the <system> folder and also removed the Gravis Ultrasound folder/files from the <rom> folder as an added check. Unfortunately, no change. Retroarch is still not registering the single remaining .sf2 file.

I don't want to steer you wrong, but this still sounds like the same problem I had. It was scanning other folders (not just the pc folder) and finding .sf2 files. One of which was 512MB and its mere existence prevented the pull-down from displaying properly. Are you certain there isn't a lingering .sf2 hanging out in a scummvm folder or something?

@roslof I do have other .sf2 files spread throughout usr/share/sounds/sf2 and scumm/extras folders. I'll give renaming them a go and see if that does the trick.

@Crush said in Request: update pcsx2 install script to show CHD:

(PS: Is this the right place to make such requests?)

Yes, thanks for bringing this up, we'll add the extension to the ps2 system.

@mitu When I did use 20.04, there was an issue with the nvidia 390 driver installing. I thought rolling it back would somehow be better for compatibility. I do have dolphin installed with retropie on my laptop, so I believe I will just use clonezilla to clone it to the nvidia build, and sort through the driver issue then. If that doesnt work I will switch away from Lubuntu and try another distro.

@retrofdi

So, you get the same results on fresh install...And just spit balling per say, how many video ports do you have? Additionally, have you tried any other displays? My thoughts would be the next thing to look at the communications via HDMI (Assuming you are using HDMI based on the hardware). I would use a known/good HDMI cable, attempted another port, and another display is possible.

@mitu Thanks - I thought it would be something easy, and it was that. All works now!

(Just in case anyone else sees this - the .desktop file is in /usr/local/share/applications )

@mitu This help request can be closed out. I ended up uninstalling retropie and Ubuntu and put Batocera on my SSD. Batocera seems to be more user friendly in terms of initial installation and settings. From what I've read Retropie has more options/settings but my emulation needs are simple and Batocera serves me well.

Did you also enable the service after installing it ?

well still at work but walked my wife through it at home, lol. She said it got to the gamepad screen running Kubuntu, must have been a driver issue.

You're not running into issues with building the N64 emulator mupen64plus? It's only happening on Debian Stretch (x86-64) but it could be my setup so that's why I'm asking. It's requiring a newer version of cmake than what's available:

/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/mupen64plus/GLideN64/projects/cmake /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/mupen64plus /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required): CMake 3.9 or higher is required. You are running version 3.7.2

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop

Resolved the issue, and PS2 appears in the EmulationStation frontend.
.bash_history doesn't show any evidence of the desktop environment being removed - by way of shell command.

@dirtbagxon yep, you've found the right spot mate...
so i guess there is no way to use es since the issue is still open.

Awesome! I set up open box to start with 1280x720, verified it via the log, and it worked perfectly with the threading set false. Looks way better than it did set true, has better response/less lag, and of course the screensaver doesn't kill it after 10 minutes.

Thanks so much for your help with my problem.
