      @DTEAM Thanks for letting me know. I haven't made any changes to the name of the fork. It should work same as before. Do you have any info on where it is failing? The log should be retrievable at this location (just correctly enter the fields that have x's below):

      sudo zcat /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs/rps_2025-xx-xx-xxxxx.log.gz

        Just to let you know, there is no need to use sudo, it should work without it.

          Now Is it borked3ds-qt instead of borked3ds? Maybe it's on my side. I'll double check. It says the emulator is a Port now. It doesn't make sense.

              @DTEAM Thanks for this info. Can you try building Borked3DS-rpi using the instructions below (instead of using the install script). It's building successfully on my Pi4 using these steps.

              Instructions for Building from Source:

              cd /home/pi
              
              sudo git clone https://github.com/gvx64/Borked3DS-rpi.git
              
              cd ./Borked3DS-rpi
              
              sudo git submodule update --init --recursive
              
              sudo mkdir ./Build ; cd ./Build
              
              sudo cmake .. 
              

              (note minimum cmake 3.26 requirement - if necessary follow instructions to build new cmake https://geeksww.com/tutorials/operating_systems/linux/installation/downloading_compiling_and_installing_cmake_on_linux.php )

              sudo make -j4
              

              Note that if this build attempt fails, please try the build command again using sudo make -j1 as this will sometimes provide a more descriptive error log (the second build attempt should take a lot less time as well).

              Note that I am going to try to get your script to build on my Pi.

                I'm ok for that part, with Bookworm backport, I'm at 3.31 or 3.3x

                  The script works, but I have to run it twice, like for an update. I leave the temporary folder there and run the installation again. It'S strange. It was not like that before

                  BTW, the emulator works very well.

                    @DTEAM Thank you for letting me know. When the build fails at the very end like that it usually means that it is a linking issue (e.g. a missing include or a module that was mistakenly not added to a CMake file). I wonder if it had something to do with one of the externals not downloading properly that set it off. It's weird that it is working now for you because I didn't change anything.

                    I actually have had a lot of difficulty successfully running these install scripts for the more complex emulators (ppsspp, dolphin, citra) I think because of my internet connection. That said, the install process usually fails for me prior to building when it is doing the submodule update stage not at the very end like it did for you. I usually find it a lot easier just to manually build.

                    Anyways, I was wondering if you might be able to update the configure_borked3ds() in your build script as follows and just test + verify that it works as intended. I haven't been able to test it out but ChatGPT says that this should get the env var gl_oes_texture_buffer added to the /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg file as I showed above:

                    function configure_borked3ds() {
                        mkRomDir "3ds"
                        ensureSystemretroconfig "3ds"
                        local launch_prefix
                        isPlatform "kms" && launch_prefix="XINIT-WMC:"
                    
                        addEmulator 0 "$md_id-ui" "3ds" "$launch_prefix$md_inst/borked3ds"
                        addEmulator 1 "$md_id-roms" "3ds" "env MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=GL_OES_texture_buffer $launch_prefix$md_inst/borked3ds %ROM%"
                        #addEmulator 1 "$md_id-room" "3ds" "$launch_prefix$md_inst/borked3ds-room"
                        #addEmulator 2 "$md_id-cli" "3ds" "$launch_prefix$md_inst/borked3ds-cli"
                        #addEmulator 3 "$md_id-tests" "3ds" "$launch_prefix$md_inst/tests"
                    
                        addSystem "3ds" "3ds" ".3ds .3dsx .elf .axf .cci ,cxi .app"
                    }

                      Same problem with your method on GitHub. I can't tell if the problem is only on my side. If someone else could test it on a Pi5, that might be helpful.

                          For me it failed on the same when building manually.
                          (not using the command sudo btw., no need to do so)
                          Noticed that when using :

                          git submodule update --init --recursive
                          

                          It had a problem getting the submodule that contains robin_map.h.

                          I am trying again to see if it will work when doing it a second time.

                            Right. Was just zeroing in on the same. It appears that it fails early on in the process, but doesn't Fatal until near the end. Here's where multiple files aren't found and a clue about why:

                              The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

                            @Folly are you using cmake 4.0 or higher? I'm wondering if CMake just needs a range for cmake_minimum_required as specified

                              Yes, I use the latest cmake 4.0.2 now.

                              78% ...

                                I modified CMakeLists.txt adding the range and I'm giving it another run.
                                EDIT: Still having the same problem each time cmake is run. mcl_DIR, tsl-robin-map_DIR and oaknut_DIR are missing. Boo.

                                  git submodule seemed to get all submodules and cmake did not say "Not Found", Hmmm..

                                  Edit : I will have a look later.

                                    BTW.
                                    I see that tsl-robin-map seems to require cmake 3.5 or higher.

                                      @Folly said in 3DS emulator for Pi users based on "Borked 3DS":

                                      BTW.
                                      I see that tsl-robin-map seems to require cmake 3.5 or higher.

                                      I was able to clear the error by modifying Borked3DS-rpi/externals/dynarmic/externals/robin-map/CMakeLists.txt and adding the range to the top line:

                                      cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5...4.0)
                                      

                                      But this did not solve the problem of the various "Could NOT find" issue.

                                        Just to see if I get it compiling I copied the
                                        /home/pi/Borked3DS-rpi/externals/teakra/externals/robin-map/include/tsl
                                        folder to
                                        /home/pi/Borked3DS-rpi/src/tsl

                                        That will circumvent the not found issue, tsl/robin-map.h not found.

                                        Still have this issue :

                                        /home/pi/Borked3DS-rpi/src/borked3ds_qt/bootmanager.cpp:42:10: fatal error: qpa/qplatformnativeinterface.h: Bestand of map bestaat niet
                                           42 | #include <qpa/qplatformnativeinterface.h>
                                        

                                        Perhaps missing dependency.

                                        Edit :
                                        I missed the package :
                                        qt6-base-private-dev
