ports not working in buster image

retropi19

Hello there im using the Retropie image for RPi4 (buster) and i decided to install some ports minecraft-pi,micropolis,steamlink but upon running them it returns to emulation station
in the stretch image for Rpi3 they work normal,and also in the buster image for Raspberry Pi 2-3 work ok,is there a workaround for them to work on the buster image for RPi4?

thanks

mitu

Post the emulator logs - /dev/shm/runcommand.log - when you get an error. I know steamlink works on the PI4, but didn't test micropolis or minecraft-pi.

retropi19

the log is in this pucture thank you

@retropi19 Looks like you're running a custom kernel and not the default shipped with Raspbian, your X.org installation seems to be broken because of it.

retropi19

@mitu how can i fix this?

mitu

@retropi19 Did you install a custom kernel or not ? How is your installation different than a stock Raspbian Lite image ?

retropi19

@mitu its the berryboot image for Rpi4 i did not install a custom kernel

if i run rpi-update will it fix the problem?

its strange because with the same retropie buster berryboot image for Rpi2-3 it works without problem

I don't know, I don't use Berryboot.

thanks anyway for your time

Berry boot is not supported. It's not even tested with rpi4. I may remove the images.

retropi19

@BuZz i did not know its not supported since the scripts are there i said to give it a try
thats all no need to remove the images for 3 ports that are not working
i tested the RPi4 bb image and in general perfoming ok

I feel like I have been telling people this a lot lately but you shouldn't ever be using rpi-update. It will install bleeding edge firmware that is not thoroughly tested and it can mess things up or even cause your pi not too boot.

For firmware updates you should use:

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

Sorry. I'm removing them from the weekly images.

The berryboot images were always unsupported as mentioned on our download page. They were only generated with the weekly builds due to being generated by default on our build scripts.

I may include them when we release official rpi4 images. You can generate your own, but I really don't recommend using berryboot for retropie.

It's possible I may drop them completely.

Minecraft-pi doesn't work on the rpi4. It's ancient anyway. Maybe there's an opengl version you can run. Dunno.

retropi19

@BuZz what scripts do you use to generate the berryboot images?

BuZz

@retropi19 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/08d99e4288789c72af6a3a99829d7347402bd925/scriptmodules/admin/image.sh#L281

Function uses an unpacked image on Linux. Adjusts fstab. Then creates the squashfs.

I don't have time to go into detail. There's more info online.

retropi19

@BuZz can you at least put back in the weekly images the stretch images for berryboot as they work fine only the buster image in Rpi4 has some problems thought

thank you

BuZz

@retropi19 sorry no. Use the 4.5.1 and update it or generate your own.

@buzz im trying to use the script :

to generate/build the berryboot images but when i execute the image.sh file with ./image.sh in a command line prompt in raspbian,nothing happens, do i need to run the script different or something else reguired?

BuZz

@retropi19 The image script is used via retropie_packages.sh - It's primarily built for my own use so I can't help further but the following would build an image for rpi4 including a berryboot image (berryboot building is untested for some time as we no longer support berryboot images).

sudo ./retropie_packages image depends
sudo ./retropie_packages image platform rpi4 buster 1

It would be easier to just convert an existing image though probably and will be a lot quicker. eg https://github.com/Kingo71/BerryConverter

I would appreciate it if you don't go onto other topics I'm involved in and tag me with questions on unrelated issues. That's not polite.
