Is the kernel patch for drm still relevant or is it in the mainline kernel now?

wget -O drm_plane_fix.patch https://pastebin.com/raw/MiTbZsPs
patch -p1 < drm_plane_fix.patch

that fails for me when i try to make odroidxu4_defconfig:

No it's not, but you have to revert that code snipped I gave you, I told you already yesterday, also Hardkernel's Linux master is N2 (AmLogic) now and not XU4 anymore

edit: I have changed the patch and wrote a note that one can skip the part with kernel patching

Hi capitan @AreaScout

I tested the lastest changes and I must said that everything works just fine, Great work capitan!! =))))

I was able to compiled PPSSPP and RetroArch, but GoW still runs in PPSSPP very very slow, like 48 to 58% speed at max, I think maybe its due the lastest changes because my last test was on December and I was able to run GoW at 78 to 85% speed, beside that, the others games just works flawlessly.

I will try to compile an older version of PPSSPP and tested with the new EGL libraries, and test a little more with Reicast core today.

One more question capitan, its posible to compile mupen64plus libretro? still dont try it myself but maybe have you try it before? I mean, I found an old post from you about compiling Mupen64Plus but no the libretro version, in this link and v0ltumna's guide too

viewtopic.php?f=91&t=5258

but it will compiled / work with this GBM / mali's GLES driver configuration? well I know there is only one way to find out, but still any hints Senpain are more than welcome, I want to keep learning and Im learning a lot from this.

Kind regards and many thanks again my friend

freebs what are you doing -> lol, not having DRM_FORMAT_MOD_INVALID defined means you are using an outdated libdrm2 and libdrm-dev and if you are using the Ubuntu minimal image from the first post in this thread
the libdrm library is an up-to-date one, so either you are using an outdated image to build kodi or you have somehow installed and older version of libdrm, so what of the two options are you on ?

v0ltumna's guide -- yes sad that he isn't around anymore, I really liked this guy, I mean he really had some nice guides

I have compiled mupen64plus libretro a million of times I think But not for a year now, so I am not up-to-date on this, normally I only post build tutorials from which I have modified the source code to add improvements or when the core is notorious hard to build.

My changes for PPSSPP are upstream now which was touchscreen support, easy build for ODROID's plus some stability patches, for vice 64 emulator it was the no border hack

You can use pre-build binaries found from here, it's huge:

https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/pool/xu3/libr/ and here https://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/pool/main/libr/

As you can see it's meveric repo, some of the cores I helped him but the most of the cores he did, it's crazy cool

that is the image i used..
libdrm-dev is already the newest version (2.4.74-1).
libdrm2 is already the newest version (2.4.74-1).
these are my versions.. is that correct

I'll start over.. although i have it running, i just would like to compile the latest and compile pvr-iptvsimple.

Ahh. it's all fun and games..thanks!

No, it should be 2.4.91-2 and with latest updates 2.4.95

[freebs]

yay! compiled.. thanks dude!

Ok kodi built.. still no iptv yet.. but that's another story..
however kodi crashes on start with this WARNING: CDRMUtils::FindPlane - could not find plane

What might I have done wrong now ?

I thought I have changed / edit my kodi howto, but somehow the changes didn't get inherited

Make sure that xbmc/xbmc/windowing/gbm/DRMUtils.cpp line 355 looks like this:

Code: Select all

if (SupportsFormat(plane, DRM_FORMAT_NV12))

Then compile and install it again, it should work

ok thanks bud.. I'll let ya know

Hey there, hope someone can give me a hand, first time doing anything like this. For some reason when I get to the dpkg -i mali-x11....... part it said the requested operation requires superuser privilege. I think I have that activated though. The user is in a bright neon green. Is that correct?

[mad_ady]

You need to run it as root. It's best if you do sudo su to switch to root before running that command.

Hey PattonPlays

Nice to see you here I have watched your YouTube Channel several times Nice work, but on some Games (i.e PPSSPP) I felt like I already played some games with better performance like one could see in the videos, so I tried the newest PPSSPP and it really lost some speed compared to the last time I checked it, we had that also in the past, PPSSPP is changing a lot, sometimes with better performance on some titles sometimes worse.

If you want to see the same performance for i.e GoW Chains of Olympus, then you would have to reset your lokal branch to something back in September last year I guess with

Code: Select all

cd ppsspp
git reset --hard 57bf9e3
cmake -DUSING_EGL=OFF -DUSING_GLES2=ON -DUSE_FFMPEG=YES -DUSE_SYSTEM_FFMPEG=NO .
make -j7
./PPSSPPSDL --fullscreen

This is the good thing if you compile for yourself, you can choose the version with best performance for your own

Have fun and keep up your cool testings

Hi capitan,

Thanks for confirming my suspicion, in fact I have done the same (check out an old brach for PPSSPP), looks like the new version they are trying to optimize Vulkan for most of the games (is what I think) but in lost some perfomance with another games like GoW, I can confirm that you need a branch from like September 12th around that date (I try September 30th and the perfomance its no so good, playable but no so good)

if you want to fetch the list of commits use git log and check for the needed commit hash and the you can run or git reset --hard commit_sha or git checkout commit_sha

Kind regards.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Ow2Q4h ... sp=sharing

Ok, I think I got this, I will try to explain it (bear with me)

If you run this command git reset --hard 57bf9e3 make that your current branch back to point at <SOME-COMMIT> in this case we lost an importan commit in the CMakeList.

the CMakeList, is a build system that helps you to generate appropriate platform-specific build scripts

so the problem is here in the line 143.txt

message(FATAL_ERROR "Could not find libwayland, but USE_WAYLAND_WSI was enabled. Failing.")

and FATAL_ERROR is like the name can suggest, just stop everything. Building PPSSPPSDL on Linux with Wayland installed but USE_WAYLAND_WSI=OFF still links against Wayland (if installed on the system).

so the new version fix this with this code

change this lines

- message(FATAL_ERROR "Could not find libwayland, but USE_WAYLAND_WSI was enabled. Failing.")

and ADD this

+ message(STATUS "Could not find libwayland, but USE_WAYLAND_WSI was enabled. Failing.")

you only change the FATAL_ERROR, by a STATUS message, it should be work, but dunno if yo could find futher errors.

you could check this thread too:

https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/issues/11536

ANd The another error (that one I posted) looks like something new, because the CMakeList was updated 6 days ago, it was a fresh install, so still need to check that

Kind regards

Yes that's true, you have to search git log to see whats in and whats not, also you have to issue a git submodule update command after you reset to an certain commit id, ppsspp has a lot of sub modules and therefore is a little bitty about to set sub modules to the same commit id they had at this time.

Hi Capitan,

I was able to compile PPSSPP with the commit you point it out. GoW run much much better betwwen 80 and 100% but still its does lag at some point, i will keep testing with another versions and I will test with another HDMI cable (dunno I think something the cable that I have maybe its no the best or gimme some kind of problems)

I would be very grateful for some advice.

[AreaScout]

Hello. Following your tutorial I managed to compile kodi, but I did not succeed with hdmi cec.
I would be very grateful for some advice.

Do you have this feature enabled ? "Go to Settings -> Player -> Videos and enable adjust display refresh rate to On start/stop" because this will stop cec from working if you have, but without this feature live sucks

Also make sure that you only have one libcec.so laying around, preferably the right one ! Other then that it should work

Yes that's true ./autogen.sh needs automake and autoconf, so one who needs to compile it knows for sure now how he can archive his task, with or without -> great !

Hi hi my capitan

I trying to do everything from the begining and now when you run the next command to configure retroarch

Code: Select all

./configure --enable-opengles3 --enable-opengles --enable-neon --enable-floathard --enable-freetype

gives you the next error

"Build assumed that __ARM_NEON__ is defined, but it's not. Exiting..."

I think that RA mess something :/

If I remove --enable-neon it works.

another mistery my capitan

Kind regards.

another alternative to build Retroarch :

Code: Select all

CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=cortex-a7 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard -ftree-vectorize -funsafe-math-optimizations" ./configure --enable-opengles3 --enable-opengles --enable-neon --enable-floathard --enable-freetype

On N2 with CoreElec the same settings HDMI CEC works, but on XU4 stops. Do you know what needs to be changed.

Best Regards

It does only affect the CEC with DRM display adapter driver and a 'lot' is needed and maybe already upstream, the same 'bug' happens with RockChip kernel, here is an attempt of fixing it in kernel https://github.com/Kwiboo/linux-rockchi ... 616b03cc9d and https://github.com/Kwiboo/linux-rockchi ... 25196685e1 it is an attempt to reconnect the cec adapter when display
resolution has changed iirc

If this is already upstream (I doubt it, because then libcec patch wouldn't be needed anymore because this patch waits for 100% upstream kernel support) one has to back port it to 4.14 or wait until we have 5.2 or 5.3 kernel for XU4

With the use of this Kernel patch also the libcec has to be patched with a new experimental patch https://github.com/Pulse-Eight/libcec/pull/380

From what I heard it should work, but I didn't had time to test it

The first compile error you can ignore, it's just the testshader executable that doesn't compile, all other tests should be compiled, did you test with ./testgles2 ? does that work ?

The second one looks like as if PPSSPPSDL chooses a OpenGL context, are you having multible SDL libraries on your system, you have to be sure that you are using the one which is compiled with --disable-video-opengl, issue a sudo apt remove libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-dev just to be sure, and also double check if you generate the Makefile of PPSSPPSDL with cmake -DUSING_EGL=OFF -DUSING_GLES2=ON -DUSE_FFMPEG=YES -DUSE_SYSTEM_FFMPEG=NO .

Hi All need help,
hope someone can help me out,
i having issue on installing Mupen64Plus video rice ,

i have compile and install successful mupen64plus from their repo.
and its working fine with mupen64plus video glide64mk2,

but i need also want to compile mupen64plus video rice ,
i try build from https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64p ... tree/2.5.9
it compile fine without error but when i use it and load the game its throw exception

Try to set 24 bit video mode instead of 32, it should be configurable inside the rice config file IIRC

@AreaScout Great !!!, its working!.
need to change direct from source since in config only have 2 option 32 or 16

Good ! That GBM video driver mostly needs 24bit pixels while the X11 driver needs 32bit pixels

example source code with X11 video driver change for ODROID's -> https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-cod ... 13093b8fcd
example code which runs only with 24bit with GBM video driver, you would have to delete this line or set it to zero to make it run with GBM video driver https://github.com/dalerank/nanogui-sdl ... 1.cpp#L470

btw. nanogui examples are worth a try with GBM video driver

Glad to hear that.
I have a quick question.
Is the Mupen64Plus video rice better(smoother? faster?) than the glide64mk2?

I was not asked, but back then when I was testing it, rice was not so smooth/beautiful in rendering like glide64mk2 but on some games faster

[odroid]

I see. N64 emulation is still quite complicated.
I had to try different cores as well as different video plugins as explained by expert @meveric four years ago.

Yes at this time, 2015, meveric and I tested a lot with libretro mupen64plus and the stand alone version, the libretro version was really hard to build, still the core from this time is one of the best nowadays

RG

[meveric]

the current libretro core uses a variant of GlideN64 GPU cores which are considered faster, the old cores with rice, glide64mk2 and different other plugins are no longer used and pretty much abandoned.
In fact the standalone emulator also runs best most of the time using the GlideN64 GPU core rather than using rice or glide64mk2.
There's also "parallell" a vulkan based GPU engine.

i try nanogui-sdl examples both working , yes its good for testing propose .
also as you said need to remove that line or set the value to zero,
but before can compile i need to install this additional development source before :

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install libxrandr-dev libxi-dev libxcursor-dev libxinerama-dev libxxf86vm-dev

anyway i try to compile video glide64 its success without error but error on run it with message undefined symbol: glCreateProgramObjectARB

what i experience so far , libretro mupen64plus + gliden64 or parallell i got very slow , compare with standalone emulator mupen64plus, with mupen64plus standalone what ever the video plugin i use, like n64 rice glide64mk, the speed is great, even some game run like crazy need to slow it down , example is batman beyond return.

about gliden64 , i try compile mupen64plus-video-gliden64 with failed ,is something i miss here ?

I haven't tried it, but on the first look on your log provided -DCRC_ARMV8=On this seems to be wrong, why ARMV8 if you have ARMV7

It can't find the OpenGL libraries.. the fact that it's searching for GL and GLX also shows it's not building for ARM properly as it should look for GLES and EGL instead.

@all

I have added instructions on how to get back and build an older version of PPSSPP because newest is very slow, with the older one you should reach speeds like in my GoW video
