RE: Integrated Video Game Emulators - N3MIS15 - 2013-03-26

@garbear, just FYI with your latest system directory changes i was able to get a segacd image (.bin) to run. I had to goto context menu and choose play for it to open, but it works!

Opening the .cue file failed, but opening the .bin directly worked.

RE: Integrated Video Game Emulators - lumpic - 2013-03-26

i have a small question ..
is there a way to reorder the joysticks, or set which joysticks to use in the emulators

Because my Xbox-360-Wireless Receiver creates 4 joysticks (js0-js3) and
xbmc uses Joystick-3=js0, so my gamepad is connected to joystick-3 and the emulator uses joystick-1

RE: Integrated Video Game Emulators - taltal13 - 2013-03-26

I don't know if this belongs here and my apologies if it doesn't

I'm trying to compile my own RasPMC using @garbear's branch.

I'm using the Raspbmc builders root filesystem method found here
http://www.raspbmc.com/wiki/technical/build-filesystem/

While chrooted I:
Code:
git clone http://github.com/garbear/xbmc.git
which worked fine

Now I'm trying to Patch the XBMC source. I did wget for the patches found here:
http://svn.stmlabs.com/svn/raspbmc/patches/XBMC-hardfp/

then I wrote:
Code:
sh patch_xbmc.sh

and I'm getting this:

If you get this to work please let me know, I'd really like to try out thoes 2 combined Smile

I apologize for beeing off-topic

RE: Integrated Video Game Emulators - garbear - 2013-03-26

It really belongs in the thread you started in the RPi support subforum a couple days ago, and the problem is that the patches you're trying to apply are for Frodo 12.0. Unfortunately my branch isn't compatible for this reason.

The solution is a guide that doesn't use patches against Frodo. For example, the patches of OpenELEC's master branch are kept in sync with XBMC master (and, except for rare occasions, by proxy my branch). Raspbmc probably has such a guide somewhere. Of course, you could also run unpatched, some of the patches are cosmetic, I haven't looked but others might do really important things.

Let us know if you get it working! As the RPi has some speed constraints, I'm interested in hearing how the different libretro cores perform.

RE: Integrated Video Game Emulators - taltal13 - 2013-03-26

Ok - great....I will have a look around. I'm reluctant to run unpatched though I may have to try.

If anyone knows of a guide that doesn't use patches against Frodo, please let me know.

Sorry again for highjacking garbear - no disrespect meant.

RE: Integrated Video Game Emulators - cubii - 2013-03-26

(2013-03-25, 02:14)garbear Wrote: cubii thanks for the appreciation. I'm putting a lot of work into the zero configuration part (the logic that decides how to load a game recently got split off into its own file Smile), so if there's anything you dislike from the "old days" of choosing a rom from a tiny menu that you don't want to see make the jump into xbmc, let me know!


I think you are on a very good way!

some of the problems are already covered in the thread, like gamepad configurations ( a picture of the original gamepad and the corresponding buttons on a xbox controller would be nice) and many other good ideas, but i hope you keep it simple. (at least for now)


Is there an overview about working emus? i tried the psx1 for example and can get it to recognize my .iso games, even after excluding .iso from the videoplayer.
Snes and nes are working, only the buttons are not perfect for my opinion in a xbox controller. Is there a way (config file?) to change this? (If i have more time i will make some logs)

And just have to say this again, its so nice to use it: i installed xbmc , choose games,files, added my nes games, started one, the emu got installed and i was playing!
Downloading of xbmc uses more time then the above mentioned steps! Thats just so good!

Thank you again for your work and of course all the people behind this libretto stuff!

RE: Integrated Video Game Emulators - taltal13 - 2013-03-27

Also, I'm not against using OpenElec per se. Where do I substitute your branch/git for theirs?

Building and Installing OpenELEC for Raspberry Pi

RE: Integrated Video Game Emulators - garbear - 2013-03-27

taltal13, the search you'll want is "openelec custom branch", try https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/wiki/Compile-with-custom-XBMC-branch and http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Compile_from_source#Compile_with_Custom_XBMC_Branch . In the land of embedded linux, things start getting really hard, really quick, but I've gotten it to work and the truth is that all it takes is perseverance and a shitload of googling Smile

lumpic, are you saying that your Xbox-360-Wireless Receiver creates 4 joysticks, but 3 of them are unconnected dummy joysticks that send no input? The fix is to simply hide them from XBMC, or make sure the dummy joysticks are enumerated after the real one, and you should be good to go.

cubii, buttons can be changed using the keymap.xml file, see https://github.com/garbear/xbmc/commit/81c8774bf9aa8a07b72746a6ee90e3a9b4ef543e#L2R347

N3MIS15, I pushed a fix that should make .bin files play from both the context menu and hitting play on the file. If not, I'd like to see debug logs Smile Regarding .cue files, going to Settings -> Games -> Debug and try launching the .cue file after disabling "Prefer loading files from memory". This setting makes it harder for the emulator to do extension-substitution to get the file path of the .bin (though clearly the emulator *should* still be able to do so regardless of the setting).

I was doing it directly from the home folder (while chrooted) where the patch_xbmc.sh & patches are found with no success. I started over and out the patches in the xbmc folder and now patch_xbmc.sh works!

Usually you do this:

make install
sh create_tarball.sh

I'm assuming you missed the make step or you might be in the wrong directory again

RE: Integrated Video Game Emulators - Niks - 2013-03-28

Hello, is someone has ever tried to compile this branch for xios DS linux xbmc ?
Their github is https://github.com/Pivosgroup/buildroot-linux

I would try to compile but I don't have a enough powerful machine to do it.
Do you think this xbmc branch could have some working problem on linux embedded device?

I tried to ask on their forums but still no answer for now:
http://www.pivosforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=2772

Let me know if someone would give a try.

Thanks!
