@BuZz @herb_fargus

Can we get this added to the experimental packages section on retropie please? As it has games working that are not working in the current daphne version, thank you

libretro daphne

same here, admins please add this

vikingrock

Can we make a request to add Hyperseus to experimental packages on Retropie Github?

I think this is a right place to make a request, but I,m not sure about it.

@vikingrock

Hypseus & lr-daphne both needed to be added to the experimental packages

vikingrock

I would like to know If someone with a Retropie Github account can make this request for us?

that's not a pull request, you just submitted an issue. A pull request is something different - https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/.

I'll take a look at this and see if I can throw together a shell script for submission. Gotta wait until after my PR for the Sharp X1 libretro core gets merged/denied though.

SuperFromND

Okay, I just managed to boot Dragon's Lair in this core after lots of trial and error with file directories, but the video seems to be corrupted a little bit, and sometimes it just displays black. Not 100% sure if that's an issue with my specific video files or if it's the emulator. This is definetly experimental.

@supercatfooz

Getting this in the experimental section is better than nothing at all, from the videos I've saw they do have games running maybe just problems with you dragons lair, check out the first few minutes of this video to see games running using this core

SuperFromND

@skj Yeah, definetly looks like problems with my specific files then. Hrm.

Edit: Turns out I just needed to move lair.dat into the framefile folder. Everything seems to be running fine now, except for some strange bug where the game will randomly freeze for no discernible reason. [It appears something in the emulator causes the framerate to be set to zero]. From what I can tell, this gets logged whenever the bug occurs:

Play
cpu_set_event() : can't find CPU, fix this!

Sound also appears to be totally absent for me.

@SuperCatFooz are you talking about lr-daphne or Hyperseus . I know stretch for Hyperseus had a bug with the threading crashing. There was a patch for it to stop freezing but I believe in the big picture for Hyperseus the bug was in sdl I think this https://github.com/spurious/SDL-mirror/commit/03495f9a7f547cf462725bec4c6093f2b0918724#diff-fd1ad3238b63de0c2ccc5340a6becb3b should fix the hypheus locking issue but there has been many updates to sdl since then on the threading especially that where stretch and sdl have the most issues. When i get time in going to try remove there threading for lr-daphne but its no small thing to do

SuperFromND

@grant2258 I'm referring to lr-daphne. I haven't tried Hyperseus yet; I tend to avoid non-libretro emulators whenever possible.

grant2258

There is a patch to remove the cpu error but it causes other problems because of the other threading. I can see if I still have the patch if you want to try it but be aware the ra menu slows down with it

SuperFromND

I don't plan on submitting a pull request for this script myself (due to the freezing issues described above), but if anyone wants to install the emulator without much hassle (or if the freezing bug gets fixed in the future), here's the scriptmodule I wrote for lr-daphne:

@stuart2773 Hey Stuart. Now We have a compiled code, maybe you can make a new request on GitHub.

grant2258

the code always compiled the freezing issue meeds addressed though.

If this freeze doesnt happen in jessie. I would initially suspect it is tsx (Transactional Synchronization eXtensions) related if the arm processors support this would need to look into it more though.
