Getting something slightly different now - when I navigate to the .SMC file and click on it a dialog pops up asking me to install an emulator, I say okay, select one I know I already installed, and then... nothing. If I select one I haven't installed it prompts me to allow a download, downloads, and still won't launch anything. If I cycle XBMC no difference except now it knows not to ask to download the new emulator...

Here's the pastebin log http://pastebin.com/uhx7Feq2

Code:

ERROR: Unable to load libretro-bsnes-balanced.so, reason: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.14' not found

Can you post your glibc version? (I don't know how to find it, but my friend google does ) Compile emulators yourself using libretro-super. This should link them to your version of glibc. In the future it'll probably be possible to install binaries using the distro's package manager to manage things like dependencies and such. For now, use:

Code:

git clone git://github.com/libretro/libretro-super.git
cd libretro-super
./libretro-fetch.sh
./libretro-build.sh

Also I'm uploading 32-bit emulators. go to Get Addons -> force refresh Libretro Emulators -> Add-on Repositories -> Libretro Emulators (32-bit) -> "Install". They'll show up alongside 64-bit ones with a "(32-bit)" in their name

I'm trying to compile this under the OpenELEC build environment, but the build fails with the following:

Code:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/philipacentaur/OpenELEC.tv/build.OpenELEC-ION.x86_64-devel/xbmc-03afc5d/xbmc/cores/RetroPlayer'
make[2]: *** [RetroPlayer.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [xbmc/cores/RetroPlayer/retroplayer.a] Error 2
make: *** [release] Error 2

Any idea what the cause of this is?

Thanks for the hint. I should have suspected a patch was the problem. I deleted "xbmc-995.01-xvba_support-1ea917e.patch" from the "patches.x86" directory, and the rest of the build went off without a hitch. I build for the i386 arch, so I had to fiddle around with the addon repo to get the 32-bit addons installed, but launching NES ROMs with bNES is working. Launching .nes ROMs with FCEU-Next doesn't seem to work; if FCEU-Next is the only NES emu installed, it just keeps giving me the dialog to install an addon.

Joystick support doesn't seem to work, but I see some posts here about Linux joystick support, so I expected that. Button definitions from the <global> section are triggered while the emulator is running, and even though I have a proper <FullscreenGame> section set up, nothing defined there works in the emulator. Joystick works as expected in the XBMC GUI, during fullscreen video, etc. Strange, because definitions from the <FullscreenGame> in keyboard.xml work while I'm using the keyboard.

Let me know if you need any specific debug output.

(2013-02-23, 01:43)philipacentaur Wrote: Yeah, it's mapped and appears to work (emulator quits). Interesting.

Here's my <FullscreenGame> config:

Code:

<FullscreenGame>
    <joystick name="Logitech Logitech Dual Action">
      <altname>Joystick 0</altname>
      <button id="1">JoypadB</button>
      <button id="2">JoypadA</button>
      <button id="3">JoypadX</button>
      <button id="4">JoypadY</button>
      <button id="5">JoypadL</button>
      <button id="6">JoypadR</button>
      <button id="9">JoypadSelect</button>
      <button id="10">JoypadStart</button>
      <button id="11">Stop</button>
      <button id="12">FullScreen</button>
      <hat id="1" position="up">JoypadUp</hat>
      <hat id="1" position="down">JoypadDown</hat>
      <hat id="1" position="left">JoypadLeft</hat>
      <hat id="1" position="right">JoypadRight</hat>
    </joystick>
    </FullscreenGame>

None of the "Joypad*" entries do anything in the emulator, but if I enable debugging, I see keydown/up messages in the log for whatever I'm pressing. Using current git as of Garrett's recent Feb 22 commits. This is the same behavior you're experiencing?

Do you have XBMC built from source already? What OS are you on?

If you've not built from source in Linux before it's a little bit of work but not too bad. My upgrade appears to have failed and my backup not much better so I may be rebuilding from scratch myself If you're on Windows you might be able to get a binary from someone but you'll likely want to start with a well running XBMC install anyway before moving off from the mainstream head trunk.

thanks for the reply. im on windows. so from your reply i am assuming youguys are editing xbmc itself or something with linux (hence the talks about trunks and stuff) sounds over my head. this isnt a typical addon i can test out?
