Hi!

I take two days testing the system in Android. I do not know all emulators, or kernels, or anything! I am very new to Android.

But I am tested Retrobox TV and others alone platforms it’s working with my Xbox 360 Wireless stick.

I think that in a few days or more… I could write my experiences with this prototype.

[efraimsangil]

For Odroid XU4, the best platform for Gaming is Android with some apps installed.

[efraimsangil]

Ok, retroarch people has been fixed. Now, from retropie-setup download the new binary and it’s working :)

[efraimsangil]

Thanks a lot , I solve my problem. :)

[efraimsangil]

[quote=117704]normally caused by the weak CPU of the pis, i’m afraid. not much you can do beyond using the right plugin for the right game. try mupen64plus-glesn64, and if that doesn’t work try mupen64plus-rice. even then, most games will have some sort of glitches/audio/slowdown issues.

Thanks, I think that this emulator is not optimized.

[quote=117607]I’m not an expert but isn’t part of your RC.local command #’d out which means it get skipped.

Take out the # before the Xboxdrv bit?

I have two lines :) One’s commented :) Thanks, a7mag3ddon

Hi!

I am trying to use Xbox controller with Kodi but it’s doesn’t work… for now :)

This is my rc.local:

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

# xboxdrv -D i 0  --alt-config /usr/local/xboxdrv_player1.cfg --alt-config /usr/local/mouse.cfg --next-controller -i 1 --alt-config /usr/local/xboxdrv_player2.cfg --next-controller -i 2 --next-controller -i 3 --deadzone 4000 --dbus disabled &

exit 0

And I have this files in /usr/local

What’s I’m doing wrong?

First…

odroid@odroid:~/RetroPie-Setup$ sudo ./retropie_setup.sh 
[sudo] password for odroid: 
Unknown platform - please manually set the __platform variable to one of the following: armv7-mali generic-x11 odroid-c1 rpi1 rpi2 x86

So… I am added this lines in system.sh:

            ODROID-XU3)
                __platform="odroid-c1"
                ;;
            *)

Thanks, I am going to try your notes :)

[efraimsangil]

Hmmm, I going to try same steps with this version of ubuntu:

http://odroid.in/ubuntu_14.04lts/

[efraimsangil]

Well, I try:

xinit xclock

And works perfectly… So… I don’t know what’s the next step… :-/

[quote=115850]You CAN install X11 and launch EmulationStation with xinit emulationstation i use this command to launch Attract Mode, wich require Xorg, from EmulationStation in Retropie on Raspberry pi 2.

[/quote]

I try with other distribution…

ODROID-GameStation-Turbo-3.1-RC2-20150920-XU3-Jessie.img

I make some changes to prevent start X11:

root@gamestation-turbo:~# cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 
# /usr/sbin/lightdm

And changes in inittab

# /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration.
# $Id: inittab,v 1.91 2002/01/25 13:35:21 miquels Exp $

# The default runlevel.
id:2:initdefault:

Then I try with:

xinit emulationstation

Ops! Problems…

lvl0: 	Error initializing SDL!
	No available video device
lvl0: 	Renderer failed to initialize!
lvl0: 	Window failed to initialize!

Now, I need study how to fix that.

[efraimsangil]

Hmmm I try, yes, thanks devil78. Now I am compiling ES…

[efraimsangil]

Yes, I am agree with you, Buzz. In odroid forum, the users are using EmulationStation under X11 but I think that this solution it’s not better. I think the better option it’s run Retropie without X11 because… –> Best performance :)

I’ll make more testing :)

[efraimsangil]

It doesn’t work… there exists a lot of errors…

[efraimsangil]

Hi!

I have ODROID XU4 too and I am very interested to have Retropie with emulationStation :)

I will try the gizmo98 suggestion :)

Regards

[efraimsangil]

Nice work!!! :)

[efraimsangil]

In PIFBA you must modify C code and compile again.

[efraimsangil]

I am agree with you, Dankcushions.

[efraimsangil]

Ops! I’m so sorry. :-/

[efraimsangil]

removed

[efraimsangil]

Congrats for your amazing article :)

[efraimsangil]

Jejejeje, yes!!!

pi@retropie ~ $ jstest /dev/input/js0
Driver version is 2.1.0.
Joystick (GPIO Controller 1) has 2 axes (X, Y)
and 9 buttons (BtnX, BtnY, BtnTL, BtnTR, BtnTR2, BtnSelect, BtnThumbL, BtnThumbR, ?).
Testing ... (interrupt to exit)
Axes:  0:     0  1:     0 Buttons:  0:off  1:off  2:off  3:off  4:off  5:off  6:off  7:off  8:off

You are great! :) Thanks a lot.

[efraimsangil]

I follow the Manual Installation Steps and work perfectly but when I test de joystick with ‘jstest /dev/input/js0’ only appear 8 buttons, no HK:

I’m using button 6 for START and 7 for CREDITS (SELECT).

[efraimsangil]

Ok, I see this link, I say the file is updated 12 days ago.

https://github.com/recalbox/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi/blob/master/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi.c

Your link the file is 4 months ago.

I don’t understand… Whos is the good repository? :)

[efraimsangil]

I am checked the source code of mk_arcade_joystick_rpi and it doesn’t exist 9 buttons:

// Map of the gpios :                     up, down, left, right, start, select, a,  b,  tr, y,  x,  tl
static const int mk_arcade_gpio_maps[] = {4,  17,    27,  22,    10,    9,      25, 24, 23, 18, 15, 14 };

Recalbox distribution is using an earlier version that exist in github :-/

[efraimsangil]

Ohhhh, I am stupid. I forget check this propertie in config.txt

Thanks a lot!!!!Now it’s working fine.

[efraimsangil]

Ahhhhh! Yes, I remember that! I change permisions of this file.

The original is 644 :)

Thanks a lot!

[efraimsangil]

Thanks a lot! :)

[efraimsangil]

I tried God of War- Ghost of Sparta and run very slow… :-/

[efraimsangil]

Yes, always that you update Retropie with script (retropie-setup.sh), you must apply the path again :)

[efraimsangil]

Hi!
