Is there a way to get a cocktail cab experience for basically everything on Rpi4?
-
@mitu Which file? I mentioned two.
-
@mitu I tried editing the
/opt/retropie/ports/ikemen-go/ikemen-go.sh
file like so and I keep getting errors:#!/bin/bash export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.1 xset -dpms s off s noblank startx -g 1x1+0-0 -e --rotate right --reflect y 'cd /opt/retropie/ports/ikemen-go && ./Ikemen_GO'
This is the contents of the run log:

I already added my pi user to the tty and video groups, so I don't know what to do

This looks like an error from the
legacy
xserver wrapper - do you have thexserver-xorg-legacy
package installed ? If so, remove the package and try again.
Does the command works if you're executing it from the terminal, after exiting EmulationStation ? -
@mitu I do not appear to have that package installed.
sudo apt remove xserver-xorg-legacy Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Package 'xserver-xorg-legacy' is not installed, so not removed 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 196 not upgraded.

OK, so the error is not caused by the Xorg wrapper. I don't know what's the cause of the error then.
-
@mitu I notice sudo startx has no problems starting but I just get a black screen and no audio. What do I do?
-
@Jesuszilla
sudo
is never the answer and it shouldn't be used as a brute-force option.What do I do?
Try replicating what
runcommand
does to start an X session - using the same command and arguments and add your own argument(s) to it. Experiment directly from the terminal until it works, before creating a script to be run from EmulationStation. -
@mitu Well I got a little further by duplicating
runcommand,sh
into a separateruncommand_cocktail.sh
that I intend to use solely for IKEMEN-Go and other ports that don't have shader configurability. I successfully managed to get the image to rotate and flip (though the latter is not really what I wanted).The contents of the file are as follows:
https://pastebin.com/tM4Qa7aBHowever, the
--reflect
option appears to only reflect the single image (video is backwards; I tried both X and Y), not mirror an image on two sides like I want. What's the next step to mirroring the image on both sides? Do I need to set up a virtual output or something? What's a good guide to look at for this? I have to go the script route because xrandr returns "Can't open display" every time I try to run it, either over SSH or locally on the Pi, doesn't matter, so I can't even get basic monitor info this way. -

Not sure what options are available for rotation, but 'xrandr' can only work from an Xorg session, not from terminal/SSH/etc. You can add the 'xrandr' command and its arguments to the 'ikemen-go.sh' script, before the actual port command and after 'xset' - assuming you're using the original script which uses
XINIT:
to start the port and not your own command line that starts the Xorg session#!/bin/bash export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=2.1 xset -dpms s off s noblank xrandr # arguments here... xterm -g 1x1+0-0 -e 'cd /opt/retropie/ports/ikemen-go && ./Ikemen_GO'
-
@mitu xrandr doesn't do anything if I put it there; it only does anything if I use a modified runcommand script
