Is it possible to install Arduous (Arduboy emulator)?
-
@Folly very cool, i will add it to RetroPie-extras today. im going to be pushing a update later today so timing is perfect

@sirhenrythe5th Both? I take a lot of pride in my collection of 86 systems on my Pi. I love showing it off and finding the absolute max that I can add to it! But yes, I do understand how much of a mess CDI was. I've spent countless hours trying to get it to work over the past few years and eventually gave up.
CDI was really problematic indeed.
I spend also a lot of time on it to get it working in the past.
I always was curious about the system because they were quite expensive in these days.
I must agree there is a lot of garbage created for it but there are a few nice games.
Though there are much more systems which had garbage software.
On the other hand we still want to preserve the history of these computers, the good ones and the bad ones.Earlier on I added some patches for cdimono1 in my add-systems-mamedev.sh script when installing cdimono1 these patches are automatically added to get mouse and joystick working properly so you can try that also.

@Folly Thank you Folly. I'll check that out. Wasn't sure about reopening that old wound, but you've got me curious again!

@Folly
I tested this, it installs and plays great
but i dont have that shader, granted i have not updated my build in a few months, would that be the problem? -
I just got home and tried it on my rpi4.
Same result no shader.
I am now reinstalling RetroArch from source again to see what happens.EDIT:
Too bad;-( , I really did not expect this.
The shader I have on my x86_64 debian doesn't seem to be on the rpi.
The directory structure is totally different, really not sure why.I have found some alternatives but not that nice.
I will have a look later. -
@Folly it all good, i will pull out for now, once you are happy with it, let me know.
but so for it does play well and the random shader worked to give a close look at what you showed, so once you find something you like. i think it will look great
-
Ok that's ok.
Btw.
I discovered that when installing retroarch from rpi it will clone the rpi-branch of the commom-shaders not the master-branch, that's the difference, You can look here :
https://github.com/RetroPie/common-shadersI was curious and just pasted the one I used in my shader-directory and it worked.
Can you test the shader, would like to know what you think of it when running it on the rpi.Perhaps we can add a download function to only add this shader.
-
@Folly i manualy installed that shader and it fails to load, all my permissions are set to the same as all the others
i think that shader might only work on x86? -
It does work on my rpi4, but I use a desktop environment.
Perhaps it will only work if you use that.At least it's working now the shader isn't that important.
Everyone can apply there own, if they want. -

that does seems a bit odd to me, but it is what it is i guess@Folly said in Is it possible to install Arduous (Arduboy emulator)?:

i will add it to my Repo, again thanks for your work on this.

that does seems a bit odd to me, but it is what it is i guessI think it's an other problem did you copy the whole handheld directory or only gb-pocket-shader.glslp.
It needs to find gb-pass-0.glsl etc.
Can you try again ? -

gb-pass-0.glsl etc
i didn't know that i needed to have that stuff with it,
i dont mess with shaders much, since i deal with ports, way too much. loli did that and it works perfectly. so we just need to download it and install it
-
I was thinking maybe we can do it as a dependency ,cloning it not to the standard shader folder but into a shader-extra folder.
Then it will not harm or have conflicts.Perhaps I will change my version to do that than we have different versions for people to choose from and we will not have duplicate errors if someone has both.

i like that idea

This should do the trick :

Why don't you submit a PR to the RetroPie shaders' repo (for the right branch) to include this shader preset ? Should be simpler than adding another extra configuration step.

Hello. I have been following this thread with interest and testing out the new core on my RetroPie. Everything works great - except I am unable to get sound on Arduventure. (To get the *.hex file for this game, extract it from this *.arduboy file with 7Zip.)
This forum post suggests that you can resolve this issue with a Game Loader on original hardware - but that obviously doesn't apply to RetroPie.
I wondered if you might know if there's a workaround for this issue?
I've also encountered sound issues on PaqMan, FYI.
For what it's worth, I find the sameboy-lcd.glsl shader looks good with Arduboy.

Yes, that is probably a better idea in the long run.
I must admit after adding it I have been thinking about what you suggest.
But first I want to do some playing, to be sure that the shader is good enough. -

I had a quick look, I don't think I can find a fix, sorry.
You should contact the developers of lr-arduous on github. -
@Folly i updated the script on my end with your newest version.
