@herbfargus what would be the best method of removing/uninstalling kodi

sudo apt-get --purge remove kodi or sudo apt-get remove kodi

Also whats the benefits and disadvantages of remove and autoremove and purge?

[Omnija]

Does installing kodi 15 overwrite the old kodi or do you need to uninstall 14 then install 15?

[Omnija]

Any idea on why the .sav get saved in the bios folder instead of the folder the game is launched in?

Edit: I also re uploaded the folders with the appropriate files for wonderswan classic and color. In case others wanted it separate and to be similar to the gameboy and gameboy colour.

[Omnija]

At least temporarily until a better method works.

I’ve been using this one for quite some time now, and it seems to help a lot.

[Omnija]

Today or next monday?

[Omnija]

how much does gpu_mem_1024=320 affect the system?

And should my setting be underclocked for idle using _min?
ex. 900 to 400 or something similar?

[Omnija]

Nice, so many new additions have been fixed and added this weekend.

[Omnija]

[quote=98758]They are listed here (source db), so I guess it should be possible:

For some reason it wasn’t finding games yesterday but it is now.

[Omnija]

The lock up is a known kodi problem, there are some workarounds but they don’t always work 100%.

[Omnija]

which pi version are you using?

[Omnija]

No problem.
I’m not sure if it works with zips or not. You might have to edit some information to match your theme. I just made ngp + color = ngp, same as wonderswan, i didn’t separate them since i was just testing it and setting it up for the first time.

edit: if you need help setting it up separately just let me know

You would have to edit the system.cfg, make a another rom folder, and add a config with in the opt.

[Omnija]

Like the other zip, i added a readme that should have the appropriate system info which you can just copy and paste into your system.cfg

[Omnija]

Any idea if there will be support for neogeo pocket and wonderswan?
Doing it manual is a pain.

[Omnija]

No problem.

[Omnija]

Runs well on an rpi2, not sure about the older version. I’m hoping to learn more about compiling the cores, so i can compile them specifically as performant as possible.

Edit: just uploaded the neogeo pocket, i compiled the core the same way as the above method.

[Omnija]

I just set up neogeo pocket a couple of hours ago ironically. If you would like me to upload it like wonderswan, let me know. I also agree with it should be part of the project as well.

[Omnija]

Instead of writing down a book of instructions, i put together a quick folder with everything needed to set it up. The core is already pre compiled so all you have to do is follow the folders and instructions i put inside. If you need any more help feel free to let me know.

As for coleco i haven’t played around with it, so i can’t help you there.

If in the future you would like to compile your own core “.so” this is the steps i took.

cd
sudo apt-get install -y git
git clone https://github.com/libretro/beetle-wswan-libretro
cd beetle-wswan-libretro
make
sudo mkdir /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mednafen-ws/
sudo cp mednafen_wswan_libretro.so /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mednafen-ws/

[Omnija]

Good to hear it’s been sorted out.

[Omnija]

I’ve managed to get wonderswan working on my rpi2, ill make a guide for you once i have some time.

[Omnija]

What are you using as a power supply?

I have heard of power supplies that don’t supply enough power can cause lots of unexpected issues.

[Omnija]

Thanks for the guide, ill have to check it out once i gain more space.

[Omnija]

I use this method, which works very well. Booting directly into emulationstation then selecting kodi. when quitting kodi you get directed back to emulationstation.

[Omnija]

[quote=98259]You could use this flag if that helps

-use_filename=false: If true, use the filename minus the extension as the game title in xml.

Thanks floob

I decided to try out the settings the other day with

# overclock
arm_freq=1000
sdram_freq=465
core_freq=465

# overclock idle
arm_freq_min=900
sdram_freq_min=450
core_freq_min=250
initial_turbo = 30

And seems to work great, i noticed games like mario kart 64 not stalling on start of races anymore. 2D games where it gets crowded with animations don’t seem to slow down much or at all. PSX games seem to load faster and run smoother and same results as the 2D games where it doesn’t seem to slow down as much during crowded screens.

When i tried the default rpi2 overclock settings, i tend to have a lot of lock ups or non responsiveness exiting kodi which doesn’t happen anymore (at least not the last day or so).

[Omnija]

i’ve used this method before but was sort of annoyed with how it renames the roms by adding (usa), (europe) etc. Was their a way to scrap it with out it changing the rom titles?

[Omnija]

[quote=98175]Ah ok, thanks for your reply. I think I am going to go with not overclocking. I am mostly interested in 2d games so it probably isn’t necessary.

I have had lots of trouble trying to set this up all week and my sd card is corrupted again.

[/quote]

Do you think it’s due to overclocking or is it possible it’s due to sd card failing?

[Omnija]

I also noticed that i had some issues when using the default rpi2 overclock. For some reason i kept ending up with stalling and unresponsiveness, had to putty reset it.

I was wondering if someone could take a look at my config. I’d basically like to give it a bit of a boost, while having it dial down when not being used.

# overclock
arm_freq=1000
sdram_freq=465 (450)
core_freq=465 (450)
#over_voltage=2

# overclock idle
arm_freq_min=900
sdram_freq_min=450
core_freq_min=250
initial_turbo = 30

Also id like to know how harmful it is to raise the core_freq since it’s being raised almost double the default value?

@charco psx runs well with out overclocking since i haven’t overclocked mine yet and it works great, as for the n64 it takes some tinkering.

[Omnija]

Thank you works perfectly.

[Omnija]

Not much details or steps on how to do so.

[Omnija]

Thanks, it works great and was easy to install. I had a question about is there a way to select 2 different roms, such as pokemon red and blue?
