Lr-hatari, no roms will work

HenrysCat

I have RPi3 model B
Retropie 4.7.1 pre made img from official site
Installed Lr-hatari pre built binary, followed this guide https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Atari-ST-STE-TT-Falcon/ using v1.04 TOS file.

Everytime I try to launch any game from the menu, I get the grey box "Launching etc...." then it just goes back to the menu with the game list.

Contents of dev/shm/runcommand.log

Any ideas?
Thanks all

@henryscat by the look of the runcommand.log, the emulator is working right. Can you pull down your game roms from another source and check.

Also, I'm assuming you followed the install the way it's written, including adding a good known BIOS. Try another BIOS rom as well.

I have tried a few different BIOS versions, and many different roms with no change, so I downloaded a pre built image
"[64gb]-RETROPIE.ATTRACT-MODE.HYPERSPIN.V4.rpi3-SergioHyperspin"
and every Atari ST game does exactly the same

Here is the log for that

Most strange!

Sorry for bumping a slightly old thread, but have a little progress to a solution to this.

I've spent a couple of hours this afternoon trying to get lr-hatari to work (same error as @HenrysCat - segfaults when running), and ended up having to compile a forked version of the official core which updates it to Hatari 2.20. The official core hasn't had any meaningful updates for a while and it's possible that it's no longer compatible with recent retroarch updates.

https://github.com/r-type/hataritmp

How I updated:
Download source of the updated fork and change into the directory:

git clone https://github.com/r-type/hataritmp.git
cd hataritmp

Build the new core (will take a little while)

make -f Makefile.libretro

Copy the newly compiled core to overwrite the one downloaded by RP

sudo cp nhatari_libretro.so /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-hatari/hatari_libretro.so

I've only done very basic testing so far, I can get it to load but can't get it to recognise a controller. This could be an issue on my end, or with the core itself so it would be good to get additional testing on this.

Bumping this as I had another play with it recently, and it's working perfectly.

I don't know what may have changed as the repo hasn't had any commits since my last post, but if you're looking to use a libretro core for ST emulation this should work for you.

Would someone be able to double check this and if it's working ok we can look at maybe getting the version in retropie-setup replaced with this one?

I am trying to get lr-hatari to work, but it exits right back to the game titles menu. So I would like to ask, what files do I put in the BIOS folder, in what format, how do I name them, and do I need to create a subfolder? The files I am trying to open are in .st or zipped .st format. Thanks in advance.

Check the RetroPie docs about lr-atari : https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Atari-ST-STE-TT-Falcon/

If you continue to have issues please open a new topic and add this informations : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@windg I looked the link you posted and I found the info I was looking for. I have another question now. When I try to load the second disk to a game, I get the error "Failed to append the disk". Do I have to open another topic?
