[LibreELEC] Bolt Ons! AceStream & EmulationStation + RetroArch/Libretro for S905/S905X devices!

[niabi]

If you are going to compile PPSSPP standalone could you also do ePSXe (it has some rendering tricks that really improves the graphics). I am still a huge fan of Gran Turismo 2 and like playing it from time to time, but the default graphics suck.

I can surely try, is ePSXe working on Raspberry Pi ? or other ARM devices?

edit: it seems it will not work "it is designed for Windows and Linux 86x architecture"

Hi,

You have done exactly what I'm looking for but... It doesn't work for me with LibreELEC 8.0 from kszaq on S905X.

I enable the addons (32 libs, RetroArch and EmulationStation) but when I launch ES it reboots to kodi.

Do you know if it's working with LE 8?

EDIT: I tried with 7.0.3.012 on same device and it works. Both of my tests were conducted on fresh installs.

Thanks for doing that. I have only tested it on 7.0.3.012.

If you don't mind could you test this on LibreELEC 8.0 and tell me what it says:

cd /storage/.emulationstation/
./emulationsatation

this is the same problem I have, I've been trying to figure it out, but to no dice I think the libpng is different on v8 than on v7. I will keep you posted if I find a solution.

Updated Acestream to version 3.1.16 and included modified versions of plugin.video.p2p-streams & program.plexus so you don't have to mess around with setting them up.

Ok I fixed emulationstation for LE 8 I will upload a binary soon

Might beat you to that :P

EDIT#

And Done :P

New update for EmulationStation + RetroArch/Libretro. Changed the core for N64. It now uses parallel_n64 instead of glupen64.

Binary's for EmulationStation & RetroArch have also been updated.

EDIT#

Nope. Still not working on LibreELEC 8.0. Will wait for your updates.

@niabiheads up,. The version ofpcsx_rearmed_libretro.so you are using is broken. I had to downgrade.

how so? I tested it with a few games with no problems.

what version are you using?

My PS1 games are in bin format without the cue file. What happens is when I click the game to play, pcsx_rearmed opens but the disc doesn't get detected.

Also how did you fix the "png_init_filter_functions_neon" issue? I grabbed the latest binaries from your build including libfreeimage-3.17.0.so. Same issue. EmulationStation won't start.

What version of LibreELEC are you running?

sorry, i completely forgot to reply ..

i was actually running a version of libreelec 8 that came with kodi 17 from this forum thread ..

https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-2156.html

.., although I now see that the full version 8 has officially been released.

i might try flashing back to version 7 though if you say emulation station works better with that. most of the skins i prefer for kodi probably won't be updated for Krypton anyway so it's the best of both worlds

weird, all of my games are also .bin files, no cue.

Attached is a recompiled libfreeimage which was causing the prblem, try it and let me know if it works

Thanks. That did the trick. It now works on LibreELEC 8.

Cool, glad it worked!
