Wine broke Mk Arcade Joystick Rpi Package for Retropie Rpi3b+

Fenderus

I tried to install Wine x86 on an Rpi 3b+ on the lxde desktop on retropie, which isn't even recommended probably. I selected the choice of somthing (I cant remember) for something like 3/1 and it only takes 2 minutes of installation, and it said to reboot to install Wine Again, but after rebooting by restarting retropie, MK arcade Joystick, which I use for the Gamepad (because I have this: https://www.waveshare.com/game-hat.htm installed) broke, because of an evident "Failed to start Load Kernel Modules", Which I can trace back to this post here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/23559/failed-to-start-load-kernel-modules, which doesn't state the way to fix it. Thanks for the replies.

The topic in question was fixed by removing the module from /etc/modules, but I don't think that's an option in your case, since you need the module. My guess is that whatever installation guide you found included installing a 3rd party kernel package, which doesn't include the module your need, so unless that particular kernel package has also the corresponding -headers package to be installed, then you'll not be able to re-compile the mk_arcade_rpi module to work with it.

@mitu So my only choice is to find and delete the header module responsible for breaking the mk arcade joystick? and if it is, does it include the default " raspberrypi-kernel-headers"?

There's no such thing as a 'header module'.

and if it is, does it include the default " raspberrypi-kernel-headers"?

That doesn't make sense or I don't understand what you mean.

Fenderus

@mitu sorry, i meant package, or probably a kernel package. So that means I'll have to format the sd card for a new Retropie again?

If you don't have a backup (highly recommended for radical modifications like these), I think you can still get back to the regular kernel by reinstalling the default RaspiOS kernel packages:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libraspberrypi-bin libraspberrypi-dev libraspberrypi-doc libraspberrypi0 raspberrypi-bootloader raspberrypi-kernel raspberrypi-kernel-headers

EDIT: .. and then rebooting.

Fenderus

@mitu Done, but when I try to play a game of any console, It goes back to the main menu of retropie

Also, I still have that log, from the log, there is an error which can be the culprit of this problem:

@Fenderus check whether any error is logged in /dev/shm/runcommand.log. Are you launching EmulationStation from the desktop (not supported on RasPi OS) or it's auto-start from the terminal (default in RetroPie on a Pi) ?

Fenderus

@mitu nope, its an auto start since I installed (or burn, I forgot the term) Retropie OS onto the sd card.

I tried to use sudo nano on the file:

sudo nano /dev/shm/runcommand.log

but it says a [New File], probably because I already turned the Pi off after the reinstallation and discovery of the games not working. Maybe I can do the reinstallation process again.

I tried to use sudo nano on the file:

sudo is un-necessary for viewing a file and you shouldn't use sudo undiscriminately, for regular operations.

but it says a [New File], probably because I already turned the Pi off after the reinstallation ...

yes, that's because /dev/shm is a folder in RAM and it's cleared when you reboot. If you want to see the contents of the file, you should look at it immediately after you start a game.

Fenderus

@mitu oh never mind. I updated all of the core packages and returned to normal. I'll be posting something here if anything breaks again.
