RetroArch on Raspbian: the tutorial

[drdim]

Original post deleted because of irrelevance.

EDIT: Never mind. Was a typo on my side. That's what happens when you read this thread on a tablet and write down everything in the terminal by hand.

EDIT2: I can't use your ./configure options because it can't find libudev on my system. Can't find the package with apt-get either.

EDIT3: found it! It's called libudev-dev. You might want to add this to the tutorial though.

Hi there. When I'm compiling RetroArch, I get the message:

Code: Select all

undefined reference to `gfx_ctx_videocore`

A search on Google actually gives me not a single page to help... Any ideas?

This is running Raspbian 7 (Wheezy) on a Pi2 Model B

Thanks in advance!

[christatedavies]

Sorry, ignore that. I went back a page and noticed someone was trying with a 2b, and following that I managed to get it past the compile. My bad.

[steev]

Is anybody else having trouble with the dispmanx driver on the Pi 2?

The RGUI works fine, but when launch a ROM with Genesis Plus GX I get:

Steev,

Ive been using the dispmanx driver without problems for a few months now, only minor problem i have with it is the text notifications from retroarch dont show in game (eg the yellow text- "X controller detected" etc dont pop up). That said i havent rebuilt retroarch for at least 2 weeks so it might be an issue with a recent commit. Ill try rebuilding later when i get home (just had 2 awesome days at the Replay Blackpool retrogaming event - so its emulator time when i get home)

[AmigaGamer]

Tested tonight with the latest retroarch git, clean config file- having problems also
built with
./configure --disable-x11 --enable-floathard --enable-neon --disable-ffmpeg --enable-udev --disable-sdl --disable-pulse --disable-oss --enable-dispmanx
started retroarch and changed driver to dispmanx
exit out then loaded retroarch again, got a segfault.

In my case, I just had to delete ~/.config/retroarch and all is working again.

[AmigaGamer]

working for me as well now at commit 049e570 (may 5th)

my old config file seems to be working too, so not sure what the problem was when i compiled yesterday.

[Micha1982]

I gave up now.

Who can tell me how to setup a simple Usb-controller for NES (Fceumm), please?

I already found out that I am able to enter the original setup for Gpsp (?) (the GBA-Emulator) which belongs to it inside a game with F10, If I change controller-setup there, it works until I leave it and start another game. But how to save - and furthermore how to config for all the other systems?

And beside that, if I choose a complete install, how do I remove some of the emulators afterwards? I do not need 2 SNes-Emus or something like that, Atari and so on - how can I uninstall(NOT only hiding/removing from ESMenu)?

Edit:
Checked again -
changes in retropie-setup-script-settings (...post installs -> controller-config) not affect buttonsettings in Snes(9X)-Emulator. I can setup whatever I want without changes in 'gameplay' .

If I try

Code: Select all

/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch $ sudo ./retroarch-joyconfig -j 1

(I have no /installdir/..,)
it says

Code: Select all

RetroArch: input_joypad_init_first: Found joypad driver: "udev".
Couldn't open joystick #1.

Any ideas?

[Micha1982]

I now edited /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch.cfg (retroarch-joyconfig >> ...), copied that file also to the second place located (/opt/retropie/emulators/snes9x) - without change.

Please help, whats wrong here??

The emulator seems to not use the config I enter there - but why? Whats wrong?

@Vanfanel
Small problem with compiling dispmanx driver with recent code.
I always configure with ./configure --disable-x11 --enable-floathard --enable-neon --disable-ffmpeg --enable-udev --disable-sdl --disable-pulse --disable-oss --enable-dispmanx

works fine without --enable-dispmanx

After I managed to setup my controller, I saw that there was no theme as mentioned in wiki (I compiled Emulationstation and 2-3 other emus one by one with installscript from source)...
(but it worked fine after downloading the standard-one from the homepage and unzipping to the right place)

Maybe the sorting of the emulators in the install-script has a good reason which I could not see until now - but I have to say, that understanding how everything in Retropie works and what belongs to what would have been much easier for newbies, if there would have been an other kind of sorting!

Anyway, now mostly emus now working fine for me, what I miss is an 'autoframeskip'-option for lr-cores - as seen in psx-rearmed for example...but it's awesome how some alphas like Dreamcast or experimental N64 are already working...keep up the good work

Edit: The freezes I had often were related to standard turbo-overclocking option at raspian-setup - after I set down ram-speed manually in config.txt everything was fine.

I can follow the tutorial in the raspberry pi 2 with OS raspbian-ua-netinst ??
thanks

I can't seem to get it to work.
Followed the tutorial by the letter but RetroArch won't start.

If I try to run it through a command I get no feedback at all.
When I run it through the file manager nothing happens.
And when I run it with terminal then the terminal immediately disappears.

I'm quite new to this but does anyone have an idea of what is causing the problem?

Thanks in forward

Can you post the exact command you're typing to run retroarch?

For example:
./retroarch -L fceumm_libretro.so nes/Mario.nes

and then also post the results of these three commands (replacing the bolded parameter as appropriate for your setup):
ls -l retroarch
ls -l fceumm_libretro.so
ls -l nes/Mario.nes

This will tell us if the files are in the locations you're expecting

[DrDeath]

ok the developer upgrade retroarch files, and it compiled and work find on my raspberry pi 3 by just running:

./configure --disable-x11 --disable-ffmpeg
make

[Zander_0mega]

fivealive,
I am a beginner with Linux too, and I was doing exactly what you were doing, and I ran into your same problem. Before typing ¨./configure,¨ and after typing ¨git submodule init && git submodule update,¨ type this:

cd picodrive

I guess this was assumed, but, of course, I had no idea since I am not close to being a professional. My dad actually had to help me with this one!

Anyway, hope I helped!

Thank you, DrDeath! -- Was just having the same problem and your solution cleared the error.

Can anyone help me making sdl2 work?
I ran ./configure with --disable-sdl --enable-sdl2 (And make after it, obviously), changed the video driver to sdl2 but when I launched retroarch I had a buggy window for Retroarch (See http://imgur.com/a/idNE3). Is there a package i need to install? Any help would be extremely appreciated.

Just for clarification: the reason I am doing this is because when using gl as video driver i don't have the option to make it windowed and retroarch does not accept any faked input (currently using xdotool) because it is not recognized as a window.

[oXL0C0Xo]

Is there a updated tutorial on getting RetroArch running on the pi3 B? I have tried multiple solutions provided in this thread, but could not get any of them to work correctly. Any information would be greatly appreciated!

[RivenSkaye]

Following the instructions carefully, removing any --disable options my clean raspbian doesn't have (only uninstalled some of the learning software) , I keep getting the error "Makefile:151: recipe for target 'retroarch' failed", coming from the video driver and it has something to do with dispmanx and the video drivers, as that is where it fails
