Adding C128 emulator to ES did not work / ES crash on startup (Assertion)
-
If I apply the same modifications as you on a stock RetroPie installation, I get the
C128system appearing (un-themed), but no crashes. The modifications should work (though they're incomplete, since you need to add configuration for the emulators). What's the full path of the file you've modified ?You say the system doesn't show up and that ES crashes - when exactly does ES crash ? I assume it's not on start, since you're able to check that the C128 system doesn't show. The log file warnings are ok, they appear on the stock Carbon theme even with the default settings.

I have edited /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg.
For emulator configuration i have used:
/opt/retropie/configs/c128/emulators.cfgvice-x64 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh x64 %ROM%" default = "vice-x128" vice-x64sc = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh x64sc %ROM%" vice-x128 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh x128 %ROM%" vice-xpet = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh xpet %ROM%" vice-xplus4 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh xplus4 %ROM%" vice-xvic = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh xvic %ROM%" vice-xvic-cart = "/opt/retropie/emulators/vice/bin/vice.sh xvic %ROM% -cartgene$After powering on the PI the boot process starts and ES is loading.
I see that the emulators were loaded (Amiga, Commodore 64, Commodore 128).
Last line from ES is Done. Then ES crashes with
emulationstation: /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/emulationstation/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:398: void Font::renderTextCache(TextCache*): Assertion `*it->textureIdPtr != 0' failed. Abortedto the prompt/shell.
Any Ideas?

@Tom74_swc64 The error usually indicates an installation problem (missing fonts), but this would usually happen even without the new system added. Can you try naming your system differently - and not
c128? Just to test. -
I have renamed the system from C128 to commod.
Now it is working and ES did not crash. After I select the Commodore 128 emulator the next crash occurs.

That's unusual. What games do you have in your
c128(commond) folder ? Do you have an existinggamelist.xmlthere also ? -
So I have sorted some more issues with using proper naming.
Now I changed the name to commodore128.Now I have the the following error left in the log.

What is the correct content for the sdl-vicerc file for the Commodore 128?
I copied the file from the c64 directory as reference.

How do I fix this?
That's internal to EmulationStation and cannot be solved without modifying the source and re-compiling. The
platformtag is used for scraping, so you can just replace it withc64in the.xmlfile to get rid of the warning.What is the correct content for the sdl-vicerc file for the Commodore 128?
The section name
[C64]is the name of the emulator, so I guess you can duplicate the section name with[C128]. Adjust the settings in-game from Video and then save them, they should be added/saved in the configuration file. -
Thank you for the information.
There is still a little problem.
When I start the emulator a little screen is shown in the lower left corner.
How can I switch the emulated screen to fullscreen?
Or the screen centered with the original aspect ratio /resolution of the C128 only?
I have edited /opt/retropie/configs/commodore128/sdl-vicerc with
[C128] Mouse=1 VICIIDoubleSize=0 VICIIDoubleScan=0 VICIIFilter=0 VICIIVideoCache=0 SDLWindowWidth=1070 SDLWindowHeight=918 SidEngine=0 VICIIFullscreen=1without any effect.
(edit: What about the files in ~/.vice [emulators.cfg, sdl-vicerc, vice.log] ?
C=64 & C=128 do have different configurations.
The files in the ~/.vice directory have set the c64 configuration.)Via the options menu I can switch to fullscreen but the setting is not saved.
Next time the emulation starts in the little window again (see also attached picture).*** VICE Version 3.4, rev 37670 *** Welcome to x128, the free portable C128 Emulator.

Did you try to save the configuration through the emulator's menu ? It should save to the same file, so you don't have to guess what needs to entered tehre.
-
Great. That worked. The configuration has been saved to the file.
Regarding the theme for the Commodore 128...
I have found the Commodore 128 system logo from UDb23 (c128_ingo_udb.svg)
Is there also a keyboard image (red) for the C128 available like for the C64?
I haven't found anything yet.Then my system integration into ES is nearly perfect. :)
Thank you for the support again it was a great help to sort out the errors!
