Retro Arena for OGU Development Thread

Slaminger · Post by **Slaminger** » Thu Sep 08, 2022 11:23 pm

I've had the device for a couple of days and have started working on the project. Currently we are up to 60 systems emulated, but plan to have more.
This time around we plan to work on two builds, one based on full stock but adding tons of new emulators and cores, this will be for users who want a more boot and play type of setup.

The second build we will be working to get Retroarch with its full GUI and customizations interface, as well as using fcamod ES, which will allow users to swap between cores and emulators in the ES menu before launching a game, along with various other features. Basically more user customization options. We will also be including OTA updates for cores/emulators

A work in progress test image has already been provided to a couple of devs, and will be updated constantly. I have been able to back up the full emmc into an .img that can be flashed back from Windows or Linux, probably Mac as well as it uses etcher.

A look at the early progress:

Right now i'm at 110 systems. I've got everything besides dreamcast/saturn and n64 using retroarch, saturn and dc use retrorun from crashoverride, and the n64 is the stand alone, tho the core works ok too with the n2 power behind it.

I will share a link later today, its still in development but should be stable enough to use, i've got two of them, one using the stock image but adding about 50 systems and one using the full retroarch gui, however there is an issue with SDL still being resolved.

Slaminger · Post by **Slaminger** » Tue Oct 18, 2022 7:24 am

Here is the work in progress firmware images, you will find two zip files at this link:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ ... sp=sharing

Flash to internal emmc. Turn off the device, hold l2+r2 and turn it on, holding the triggers. You will see a white screen with a penguin.

OGU TheRA Retroarch:
This is a build with a full RetroArch GUI. It still has updates and adjustments to be made, such as fixing SDL, but is working, you may notice a bit of choppiness on faster paced systems. Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, Naomi, Atomiswave use RetroRun from crashoverride, and N64 uses Mupen stand alone, as such these do not have this issue. NTFS and ExFat SD formats are supported, and a roms skeleton folder structure is provided inside of the zip for your SD, it will auto mount at boot. Bios also go on SD into the bios folder, your roms folders should be located at the root of the card, not in a sub folder. It currently has 102 different systems emulated, and there are plans to add more in the near future, once the issue with SDL has been resolved.

Start and select bring up the RetroArch menu, and the top right circular button it to exit a game.

It is possible to use the RetroArch build, and if a system does give you an issue, switch it to run from RetroRun. This can be done by editing the es_systems.cfg, look at Saturn or Dreamcast for an example. You will also need to create a folder in /opt/libretro for the core and copy the core from /home/odroid/.config/retroarch/cores to the folder you created.

OGU Stock Mod:
This is the current stock firmware released at the end of last month, but it has 75 systems supported. This build lacks the RetroArch GUI, however it has a more simplistic and straighter forward setup, simply place bios into /opt/libretro into the corresponding core folder and the best settings are already selected for you. This build supports NTFS and Exfat SD2 and will auto mount at boot, a zip file for the rom folder structure is provided inside of the zip.

Both builds have been modified to not ask for a sudo password, and both have a su password of odroid. The login and password remain odroid.

More updates for these builds will be coming in the near future.

A special thank you to:
Johnnyonflame

Slaminger · Post by **Slaminger** » Wed Oct 19, 2022 12:06 am

updated es_systems.cfg included in the above link for the image. replace the file in /etc/emulationstation with the new file. To do this use an sftp program like winscp.

This will swap PSX to RetroRun, as such, you will need to place your bios, SCPH1001.BIN in /opt/libretro/psx
It will also swap MGBA to RetroRun to work around some SDL issues.

Naomi, Atomiswave, Dreamcast bios go to /opt/libretro/flycast/dc folder.

Saturn bios goes to /opt/libretro/yabause

***RESOLVED and no need to do this step

Is it possible to map retrorun keys differently when using shoot'em'up in Naomi?
i.e. Trizeal and Trigger Heart Exelica are unplayable because of wrong key mapping.

A solution could be made by compiling a new retrorun version with libretro.h modified so

#define RETRO_DEVICE_ID_JOYPAD_UP 6 /* up on dpad translate to left */
#define RETRO_DEVICE_ID_JOYPAD_DOWN 7 /* down on dpad translate to right */
#define RETRO_DEVICE_ID_JOYPAD_LEFT 5 /* left on dpad translate to down */
#define RETRO_DEVICE_ID_JOYPAD_RIGHT 4 /* right on dpad translate to up */

and use this modified retrorun only with SEU on Naomi/Atomiswave.

Thanks

It's possible yes. Have you tried using the game in retroarch?

Flycast on retroarch is not working.
From log:

[INFO] === Build =======================================
[INFO] Capabilities: ASIMD
[INFO] Built: Sep 11 2022
[INFO] Version: 1.10.3
[INFO] Git: 75757d7d02

[WARN] [udev]: Full-screen pointer won't be available.

[ERROR] Error(s): /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.32' not found (required by /home/odroid/.config/retroarch/cores/flycast_libretro.so)

the soft link is /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.31.so
so instead of 2.32 it finds the 2.31 and fails

So I cannot test the roms with retroarch.

I managed to test the different switch in retrorun.
It seems that --analog and --portrait switch aren't working on flycast.
Haven't found the OGU source to check why though.

Just in! @afro_toast from RG Handheld discord server has been tweaking the dolphin config to reach decent playable framerate with gamecube games.
Could you please consider to use his file in the next rc?

He says:
"also, by default, even in theRA the right stick is mapped wrong for dolphin, so here
https://www.mediafire.com/file/lbb8lcd7 ... s.zip/file
fixes the right stick configuration, disables threaded DSP(which screws with audio), and enables all three desync options, which will unlock variable framerate on a bunch of the library. whatever stutters and performs poorly with this config can't really be helped unless you play with custom gamesetting files and underclocking."

Can I suggest to add gamecube emulation even in TheRA image? It's missing rn

mariovirgili · Post by **mariovirgili** » Thu Nov 03, 2022 6:45 am

Another issue: some platforms are misconfigured in the es_systems.cfg (<platform> tag) and the scraper cannot recognize them correctly. The correct platform names based on https://github.com/Aloshi/EmulationStat ... formId.cpp must be:

colecovision instead of coleco
intellivision instead of intv
amstradcpc instead of amstrad

mariovirgili · Post by **mariovirgili** » Thu Nov 03, 2022 7:02 am

Another proposal to avoid losing scraped images while installing a new version/revision:

change the standard path from emmc to external sd by creating the downloaded_images folder in /roms and softlinking it to /home/odroid/.emulationstation/downloaded_images via

ln -s /roms/downloaded_images/ /home/odroid/.emulationstation/downloaded_images

Odroid Go Ultra Info

I attach two scripts to display some useful infos. One is made to be launched in shell (ogu-info.sh) and one to be launched in EmulationStation (OGUInfo.sh). They display the same infos.

Put ogu-info.sh in /usr/bin if you want and put OGUInfo.sh in /opt/system folder to launch it from retroarena page.

Don't forget to set +x permission.

example:

Looks good, thank you. I will work on testing and tweaking some things more in the next build. For now, I am uploading a new one today with SDL issues resolved. No more screen tearing or slight lag.

Now that the image runs properly, I need to focus on N2L for a couple of days, then I will come back to OGU and work on adding the quality-of-life features and improvements.

TheRA-OGU-RC2 Release:

1. SDL rebuilt to work with libgou, thanks to help from Crashoverride, Hard Kernel, Johnnyonflame and Shantigilbert
2. Cores updated to recent versions and performance tested, reverted to older core if any performance issues noticed.
3. Set SD2 to automount at boot without using crontab.
4. Left a build environment in the image for users to compile their own apps and emulators, if they wish to.
5. moved bios to the SD2. Use the included folders for SD2 that came with the .img
6. Restore Naomi and Atomiswave to RetroRun, along with Yabasanshiro, those bios go into /opt/libretro/flycast and yabasanshiro folders.

No roms or bios that don't come with a compiled emulator or core are included, you must provide your own backups.

The image is available now from:

TheRA-OGU-RC2.3.1-Multiarch-DevRelease:

This is an early Developer release of RC 2.4, it has working armhf and libsdl2 armhf. This is the base OS for what will become RC 2.4, however as it has armhf now, I am releasing it for other developers to work on ports and applications that require these libraries.

I have confirmed RetroArch32 to be working as well, tho it will not be in the build.

A big thank you to Johnnyonflame for all his hard work and help, and to Crashoverride and Hard Kernel as well.

Once again, thanks to Crashoverride and Johnnyonflame, libsdl2 issues have been resolved, it is no longer reliant on libgou, the custom library crash created for this device (like go2 for oga/ogs). I have replaced Emulationstation with a build compiled for sdl2, and restored the configure input option, and enabled the joysticks for ES navigation. Retroarch 32 and 64 are now both included and have been rebuilt to use sdl2 or gles(gles still a work in progress). I have restored the core downloader of both 32- and 64-bit Retroarch, using the ArkOS git from Christianhatian, that several of us have contributed cores to over time.

At this time flycast does not run in Retroarch 32 or 64 bit, this is due to an underlying issue with GLES. It works fine with RetroRun, as does Yabasanshiro.

on the website, RC 2.2 is built on Ubuntu 20, is aarch64 only, and is the final work in progress build we will release on this OS. RC 2.3.2 is the best build to use if you want armhf and aarch64, and is Ubuntu 22.04 based.

Please feel free to use Retro Arena not only for your retro gaming enjoyment, but also as the base for your own projects or custom firmware. You can reach me through the forums here, or my website/discord if you require assistance.

FCAMOD Emulationstation has been added back into the build. This means it will now work with the themes from cody and jetup, and also there is an option to select a core/emulator to launch a specific system from the start menu. It also restores the ability to enter your login and password for screenscraper, and download video snaps along with 3d box art.

Video snap playback, along with screen saver video playback has been fixed. VLC is now installed for this task.

I plan to release RC 2.3.4. later today after I make a few more changes, and it will include the updated Emulationstation.

Nes, Snes, Genesis/Megadrve, AmstradCPC, GB,GBA,GBC, MAME and several other systems will have multiple core options available. More will be added as they are tested and confirmed working.

Slaminger · Post by **Slaminger** » Mon Dec 05, 2022 10:15 am

RetroArena RC 2.3.4 is now available.

This build includes:

Retroarch32 and 64 bit, and has working armhf and aarch64 SDL2

FCAMOD Emulationstation, which allows 3D box art and video scraping, theme configuration, selecting which core to use before launch, and works with the themes from the jetup and cody repos.

Retroarch64 works with SDL2 or GLES, thanks to help from Johnnyonflame

Flycast and Yabasanshiro now run using Retroarch, as such the controller and video configuration options now work. If you get naomi issues saying error the game is not accepted, it means your games are outdated, you need the newer mame versions.

All bios now go into the bios folder on your SD. Your SD can be ExFAT or NTFS.

Mame2003 and Mame2010 are the same folder now, mame-libretro in /roms and there is an emulator settings tab in the start menu, which you can use to swap the core for several systems, more will be added in the upcoming releases. mame-libretro is the only folder you need to use for mame, as mame 2015 is not yet working, and stand-alone mame is not ready yet. The correct and current folder structure is included with the zip that contains the .img

Portmaster and theme downloader are not yet installed as they are not yet finished, and LCD games are temporarily disabled as mame non year issues are resolved. There are still more changes to come, however this is about 100 systems, and everything is working well. Feel free to leave comments or suggestions, or ask for help below, or on our website/discord.

CDI does not get along with GLES for a reason I have not yet discovered. If you set RetroArch to use SDL instead of GL, then it runs ok.

I replied to you on discord with photos, but I will post steps here for anyone else who may have this issue.

1. Launch RetroArch GUI
2. Navigate to settings, then drivers, then video.
3. Change video from GL to SDL
4. Exit RetroArch and launch cdi

N64 is using stand alone mupen, generally its select and l2 or r2 to save if the feature is enabled. Mupen was built by Crashoverride so i'm not sure what the hotkey is, I will check. You could also launch the game from Retroarch instead for their GUI and save state feature.

The next build I release will allow the use of Mupen or Retroarch n64, that should also help.

RC 2.3.5

1. Add coolcv core for coleco super game module, new folder for SD colecosgm.
2. Restored numerous retroarch and retroarch32 cores to be launchable from the emulators menu of emulationstation.
3. Fix coleco and intellivision scraping
4. Add Dreamcast, Naomi, Atomiswave, Saturn and N64 libretro listings, this allows retrorun and retroarch to both be options (thanks to Jetup for the theme additions). After you get your device set up, and your SD card is filled, run the new script in settings, retrorun linker, this will symbolically link the primary directories to new directories, so you see both systems but don't have to duplicate the games.
5.Restore Konami, Tiger and LCD games to working, folders are in the SD folder included with the image.
6.Rebuild Retroarch32 and 64 to 1.14.0 and restore working GL/GLES to both with custom work around (thanks johnnyonflame).
7. Restore Flycast armhf (32 bit) to working.

RC 2.3.6

1. Restore file manager to working order.
2. Restore Video playback, there is a new folder in the included SD folder structure, videos.
3. Add launch image and startup video. These can be changed or removed by navigation to /usr/local/bin and changing the file or editing retroarch and retroarch32 in this directory.
4. Restore hotkey for brightness/volume. The hotkey is F3, innermost grey button on the left side. I realize the volume wasn't necessary, but its there anyway.
5. General underlying library stuff, setting up for advmame and stand alone scummvm in a future build.

A little "bugs":

Nintendo DS: When I press R2 the screen goes white and can't play (it freezes).
Saturn: Doesn't appears on emulator list menu, I checked and the games are in correct format and in correct folder.
PSX strange problems: If I open a psx game and close it (by button upper ABXY or retroarch menu)and open it again (or another psx game), system freezes. If I shut down by button then and start handheld again it works again. I tried puting bios just in case but same result.
Restart EmulationStation: If I close the system shutting down OK, but if I restart it by menu QUIT - RESTART SYSTEM. It takes a lot of time on restart and open Emulationstation again, and a lot of time to exit the system before restarting.

Thanks for your hard work !

PSX strange problems: If I open a psx game and close it (by button upper ABXY or retroarch menu)and open it again (or another psx game), system freezes. If I shut down by button then and start handheld again it works again. I tried puting bios just in case but same result.
Restart EmulationStation: If I close the system shutting down OK, but if I restart it by menu QUIT - RESTART SYSTEM. It takes a lot of time on restart and open Emulationstation again, and a lot of time to exit the system before restarting.

Thanks for your hard work !

you are very welcome

is that in 2.3.5 as well or only 2.3.6? I am m looking at saturn right now, it's for sure here, what format are your games? When i press R2 in Drastic, nothing happens at all. I cannot make the screen turn white. Also, i can exit PSX fine. I can't replicate these issues, besides restart taking longer than shut down does. What version are you on? what format is sd2?

If you can access the system console, you can turn it off.
