New changes on AceStream from AlexELEC:
- AceStream 3.1.19 (added web interface)
- AceProxy git: 10d0051

You can see all changes between version 2.2.1->2.2.2

https://github.com/AlexELEC/AlexELEC-AML/compare/2.2.1...2.2.2

I don't know if you can implement all?

Its been ages since I have used Windows. Didn't know you couldn't label storage devices in lowercase.

Yes, it's more about using the windows format tool and choosing FAT or FAT32, it's a limitation of both file systems (or at least thats what I understood), even if you later try to rename the device it will keep the name in caps. I think a warning that don't use those systems could save you some tedious work.

Also I'd like to add a big thanks for this great addons, so far I've tested nes, snes, genesis, playstation and psp, the only game I've got some lag issues was a game called "Everyday shooter" but it has never play well even in the pc version of ppsspp, everything else I have tested runs great, acestream works like a charm, these bolt ons! are amazing, thanks a lot dude.

Any idea why NeoGeo is not working? neogeo.zip BIOS is in the neogeo folder. I even tried adding the bios to Retroarch/System folder. I click on a NeoGeo game in ES. The list zooms in, stops as the screen goes dim and just goes back to the list. I checked the systems.cfg for ES. Everything is fine there. This has been the most difficult to get working for me. All I know is that either RA is not loading the core or can't located the bios file properly.

Hi Pinguy,
Thanks for your great work. I have a question, is it possible to install acestream on ubuntu kodi of odroid C2. I tried but i was not able to do it. If is possible how do i start aceengine?
Thanks again

I have now pre-setup the PSX, PSP & N64 emulators with the best configuration. Just re-use the same download link to get the update.

If the game has a black screen in the PSP emulator change "nonbuffered" to "buffered". You may also have to lower the screen resolution as running "buffered" uses more of the CPU. Also try setting "frameskip" to "1" (do not use the "auto frameskip") to help get smoother playback.

Also enabling hardware shared context helps: "Settings > Core > Enable hardware shared context" and disabling "Rounded mode" within the ppsspp core.

The two main options within ppsspp you should never enable because it will cause issues is "IO Threading" & " Auto frameskip".

With the new PSP defaults Ridge Racer 2 & Soul Calibur - Broken Destiny run at 60FPS @ 544p

Where do I find these settings(nonbuffered/buffered & frameskip)? And how could I change them.

thanks in advance

Its been ages since I have used Windows. Didn't know you couldn't label storage devices in lowercase. When I next do an update I will fix this. Thanks for the heads up.

On a side note who ever has the Hatari core can you upload it. I do not have it anymore and can't seem to be able to find it again.

Here is a version of Hatari libretro core that works well my end.

I added my config file put that in /storage/.hatari/

added tos.img to /storage/emulators/retroarch/system/tos.img and change this to your retroarch bios dir through menu.

To run this core smoothly go in to kodi display settings and change to 50hz same with the c64 vice core.

I upgraded to kszaq's 8.0.1h build and no sound anymore in retroarch through es.

I tried changing sound to hdmi in kodi without success.

With "aplay -l" command, I got this :


In retroarch.cfg, I have "hw:0,1" in override setting.

Any idea about how I can retrieve sound plz?

Thanks

[werner99]

change it to "hw:0,0" and you will have sound again

[*Frisk*]

Fixed with "hw:0,0" setting. Thank you!

Lakka 2.0 stable (base on RetroArch 1.5.0) is released. Any chance for update?. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Trying to get EmulationStation to run on Kszaq's latest LibreELEC image (8.0.1b) but I am getting this error every time I try to launch:

LibreELEC:~/emulationstation # ./emulationstation
ConfigPath /storage/.config/emulationstation
*** ERROR SETTING VSCREEN
./emulationstation: symbol lookup error: /storage/.kodi/addons/emulator.tools.32bitlibs/lib/libfreeimage.so.3: undefined symbol: png_init_filter_functions_neon

So I replaced the 'libfreeimage.so.3' file and got this:

LibreELEC:~/emulationstation # ./emulationstation
ConfigPath /storage/.config/emulationstation
*** ERROR SETTING VSCREEN
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

So I used gdb to try and analyse the core dump file and it returned this:

I'm going mad trying to sort this out and get to the bottom of the issue but I'm totally stumped. Can anybody make sense of this??

Thankyou

Thanks in advance

Tested here with 'LibreELEC (community) Version: 8.0.1j'. Its all good and still working. Maybe try a fresh install?? It does seem you may have a permission issue.

Also I do not have a '/storage/.config/emulationstation' folder, so something isn't right.

Did you replace the emulationstation bin or something?

Anyway to fix permission issues try running this:

chmod -R a+rw /storage/.kodi/addons/emulator.tools.32bitlibs
chmod -R a+rw /storage/.emulationstation

As Rootz said. Just try. There is a good chance it may work. But if it doesn't. I won't be of much help. I don't own a device with that soc.
