RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds - mrdally204 - 2013-11-12

Can you please compile a Fusion build for RetroPlayer?


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds - zeddymac - 2013-11-17

if i already have openelec can i just do a manual update to install this


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds - garbear - 2013-11-17

yes i believe so


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds - zeddymac - 2013-11-17

so take the 4 files from target & add it to update & thats it


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds - garbear - 2013-11-18

only one way to find out


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds - shardik - 2013-11-20

Greetings,

First off: Thanks for all your work to make this thing happen. the current test build also actually works on my hardware where the current default openelec installer only crashes the thing Smile

Don't know if this is the right place to put it or if it's a problem in openelec itself:
when using the default samba share "Emulators", the files actually end up in emulators/mame/ instead of just emulators/

i tried to find the config file on github to make the change, but i can't seem to locate it...

https://github.com/garbear/OpenELEC.tv/blob/retroplayer-3.2.0/packages/network/samba/config/smb.conf

default location for roms in OE is /storage/emulators/mame/roms

Config file can be found at ~/.smb/smb.conf on you OE device


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds - TMonte87 - 2013-11-22

how do I pull retroplayer-dev instead of retroplayer-pr?


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds - garbear - 2013-11-22

I think the branch is called retroplayer-alpha7. It doesn't contain some fixes present in the PR branch. I'll update both mid-next month to the Gotham feature-frozen version.

i had already fixed it for myself, i just thought to make a change to the default config.
Users might be confused when they put something in a share called "emulators" and then have to find the files in a subdirectory of emulators/mame Smile

anyway, i made a pull request to reflect this change if Garbear deems it appropriate.
I won't be using it soon as it seems i fried my motherboard Sad

edit: the change got merged in the openelec.tv master Smile

I saw that this morning. Also I pulled the commit into my openelec branch.


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds - TMonte87 - 2013-11-23

Garbear, after building alpha-7 every time I want to run a emulator I get a reboot of my system. Here is my log: http://pastebin.com/13uJ0eYr I do not think it even gets a chance to write to the log. I know you said changes were made to pr that werent made to alpha-7. Im wondering if I compiled wrong or its because of those changes.


RE: RetroPlayer Test Builds - garbear - 2013-11-24

it looks like that's the log of the new session. If xbmc crashes and generates a new log when it starts up again, the old log is renamed to xbmc.old.log. This might be the file you're after


Newby Question - please forgive the incompetence - bedowyn - 2013-11-24

I hope this is a simple question, and not overly annoying.

I have been considering a new box to replace my WDTV. And it seems that XBMC on top of windows would be an easy, ideal way to go. I am currently testing such a setup on my lapotp.
The other thing I would LOVE to do is pull up Mame games. The idea of doing so easily - which I gather is the point of this branch build - is VERY exciting. SO... I would love to test.

The basic question is there a version of this somewhere, someway that would install on top of windows, as opposed to booting with OpenELEC? Or is there a way to add it into an existing XBMC setup?

Thanks in advance. Again, I apologize if I looked past something obvious.

Has anyone done a build for Generic since the above fix? I'd love to get hold of it!!
