This problem ? https://www.petrockblock.com/forums/topic/uae4arm/

We will be moving to a new site/forum soon(ish).

[petrockblog]

try removing it and reconfiguring runcommand if you have editing it manually.

[petrockblog]

Have you manually edited the file at all ? make sure you haven’t introduced some additional characters / wrong double quotes etc

[petrockblog]

it expects a terminal to be attached – instead of launching from cron, why not adjust the existing ES launch script to check for this (/usr/bin/emulationstation) or /etc/profile.d/10-emulationstation.sh which is triggered on boot.

[petrockblog]

output of

cat /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand.cfg

?

[petrockblog]

not without upstream code changes. I fixed up samples recently. I may look into these if/when I have time.

[petrockblog]

sudo dpkg-reconfigure x11-common

and choose “anybody” and it will work from ES

[petrockblog]

I added dependencies in for xinit – the old image had xinit by default, so it was missed out. It used to launch ok from runcommand I will check, but for full screen i used the runcommnand launch menu to set the screenmode and the framebuffer will be scaled – it might be enough to just resize the framebuffer also from the runcommand menu.

[petrockblog]

we already include uae4all2

[petrockblog]

and if something doesn’t work you need to provide some details as to what isn’t working – what error is shown etc.

Thanks very much – looks good. I will have a test and include it.

[petrockblog]

(the mentioned thread from the author suggests he was using the hardware decoding features in his currently unreleased version)

[petrockblog]

Purchasing the mpeg2 licence key is not going to help, as the decoding is done in software and the licence key relates to the GPU assisted decoding which is not used by the mpeg2 library included in daphne.

[petrockblog]

Another reason that I can think of might be that the SNES sockets are still connected to the original SNES main board (at least it seems so from the pictures). The ICs on the main board could interfere with the signals from the ControlBlock.

You could test that by changing the configuration of the ControlBlock to arcade, using a GND connected wire to simulate button presses by momentarily connecting it with an arbitrary pin of the ControlBlock that is currently not connected with the SNES main board. You should see that simulated button press as “ON” in with the tool jstest. That is also another way for confirming the correct functionality of the ControlBlock BTW.

Or you could just disconnect the SNES sockets from the SNES main board.

[petrockblog]

Btw I don’t think it’s needed to modify the file structure, at least not for retropie. I work around it via symlinks for the controls and roms

[petrockblog]

Did you check the retropie branch?

[petrockblog]

Have added it to experimental in retropie-setup – i stuck to your naming convention for the “.daphne” folder etc.

the controller config is stored in /opt/retropie/configs/daphne – for now I have just used the one from your repository until it is generated.

repository is here – https://github.com/RetroPie/daphne-emu it isn’t restructured at all from upstream to make any future merges easier if there is ever any new development (i forked it from an existing mirror on github).

thanks again.

[petrockblog]

thanks! :)

[petrockblog]

If it was done as a input configuration script as we do for retroarch etc that would help – see https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/tree/master/scriptmodules/supplementary/emulationstation

[petrockblog]

I am currently adding this to retropie – thanks for the work. I am unable to use your repository however as the makefiles contain hardcoded optimisations that we want to manage from the retropie-setup script, but will use your controller fixes etc.

[petrockblog]

and you are using the usb power option mentioned before and it is set correctly in the right/active config (on the sd card in /boot/config.txt) ? (http://elinux.org/RPiconfig#USB_Power)

[petrockblog]

You could use a custom config – copy it to ~/.emulationstation/ and it will not be touched (you will have to manually keep it up to date then)

[petrockblog]

Ill switch to use the home directory, but you should not just update retropie-setup without doing the full binary install between verssion – things will break.

[petrockblog]

What doesn’t work ? if the problem is it doesn’t load automatically from /etc/modules that’s because the instructions are wrong (for Jessie) – put just the module name in /etc/modules (mk_arcade_joystick_rpi) and put the options in /etc/modprobe.d/mk_arcade_joystick.conf (options mk_arcade_joystick_rpi map=1,2)

You should report this on the issue tracker on the https://github.com/recalbox/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi

[petrockblog]

I had no idea about this one either – I had to look at the code. I have just updated updated binaries, so if you reinstall lr-imame4all from binary from retropie-setup menu 5, you should be able to get samples working

[petrockblog]

I just fixed it. please do the following from terminal

cd ~/RetroPie-Setup
git pull
rm ~/.emulationstation/es_input.cfg
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh emulationstation configure

and then restart and configure your pad.

[petrockblog]

It’s to do with the encoded & in the device name – we need some changes our side to fix that.

[petrockblog]

keyboard configuration is stored in /configs/all/retroarch.cfg

[petrockblog]

please can you post the output of this run from terminal (via ssh)
after configuring the controller in emulationstation

cat ~/.emulationstation/es_temporaryinput.cfg
cat ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt

please use a site like pastebin.com for the logs.

[petrockblog]

This is interesting also – https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=49707

[petrockblog]

There is no way to capture / encode the framebuffer like this without some custom code to capture images via dispmanx or so – but even if this exists, there wouldn’t be the cpu power or enough io – your best bet is a capture card on another machine.
