EmuELEC

Retro emulation for Amlogic devices. Based on CoreELEC and Lakka with tidbits from Batocera. I just combine them with Batocera-Emulationstation and some standalone emulators (Advancemame, PPSSPP, Reicast, Amiberry and others).

---

⚠️IMPORTANT⚠️

EmuELEC is now aarch64 ONLY, compiling and using the ARM version after version 3.9 is no longer supported. Please have a look at the master_32bit branch if you want to build the 32-bit version.

EmuELEC DOES NOT INCLUDE KODI

Please note, this is mainly a personal project, I can't guarantee it will work with your box. I've spent many hours tweaking many things and making sure everything works, but I can't test everything and some things may not work yet. Also, be aware of hardware limitations and don't expect everything to run at 60FPS (especially N64, PSP, and Reicast). I can't guarantee that changes will be incorporated to fit your specific needs, but I welcome pull requests, help testing other boxes, and fixing problems in general.
I'm working on this project in my spare time, I'm not making any money from it, so it will take me a while to test all the changes properly, but I'll do my best to help you fix any problems you might have on other boxes, in my spare time.

emuelec's Issues

S912 defaults back to 32bpp color even if forced to 16bpp

Some emulators (Reicast, OpenBOR, Drastic, Retroarch shaders) on the S912 need to have color depth set to 16bpp or else only a black screen is shown. When running any emulator the color depth switches to

mode "1920x1080-0"
	# D: 0.000 MHz, H: 0.000 kHz, V: 0.000 Hz
	geometry 1920 1080 1920 3240 32
	timings 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
	accel false
	rgba 8/16,8/8,8/0,0/0
endmode

What I tried

I've tried forcing the 16bpp before running an emulator by setting

fbset -g 1920 1080 1920 2160 16

and also

fbset -g 1920 1080 1920 3240 16

Also I tried forcing 16BPP on the FB drivers directly, the system boots to 16BPP but when I run an emulator it switches back to 32BPP.

Also tried patching the dtb (this is the only place I found any mention of 3240) but the same thing happens

Since this only happens on the S912 I am thinking it might be a libhybris issue but that seems out of my league and I am out of ideas, so I am asking for help on this issue, hopefully someone can help.

Intro video not working on S912/PK7

Hi, merry christmas, intro video is not working, seems it's a wrong path in \EMUELEC\Storage.config\emuelec\scripts\show_splash.sh.

The lines from 12 to 14:

GAMELOADINGSPLASH="/storage/.config/splash/loading-game.png" DEFAULTSPLASH="/storage/.config/splash/splash-1080.png" VIDEOSPLASH="/usr/config/splash/emuelec_intro_1080p.mp4"

But the intro video is in "/storage/.config/splash/emuelec_intro_1080p.mp4"

I have edit show_splash.sh pointing to the right path but intro video still not working.

My best regards, sorry my poor english.

How to configure EmuELEC to sync time from a local NTP server?

After I complete building the EmuELEC v3.1 environment, the s905 device will be moved to a location where it's limited to local network access (no Internet access), and there's a local NTP server.

I've been searching for the ntp configs in the system, but unfortunately I couldn't find it. Is it defined in a script or somewhere else? Could you please give some hints?

EmuELEC Kodi add-on in wrong category

I would like to first extend my very heartfelt thanks for your amazing work. I've been looking for something to turn my ODroid N2 into a combined HTPC/Retro gaming machine. Android on the N2 is not very mature yet so I turned to CoreELEC. However, the Internet Archive Game Launcher for kodi didn't work well. I was very glad to find your add-on and see that it works just like my retropie.

I just have a small request: would it be possible to put the add-on in the games category so that it is accessible from the main games menu? Right now in CoreELEC it ends up in the generic "Add-ons" menu, under the "Program Add-ons" category which is at the very bottom of the list and so is inconvenient to reach.

Thanks!

How to adjust overscan for CRT?

I'm using latest EmuELEC v3.1 standalone version on a S905M device. I've followed the instructions in Wiki to create EE_VIDEO_MODE file to enable CRT output, which is working. Now I'd like to adjust overscan to optimize the display. However, I cannot find the info in Wiki.

I also own a Raspberry Pi 3 with RetroPie installed. I can edit config.txt to play with overscan_left/overscan_right/overscan_top/overscan_buttom settings to meet my needs.

Is it possible to do similar overscan adjustment on EmuELEC? Any suggestions are truly appreciated.

Skip EmulationStation

First, thank you for good work.

I wonder is there a way to go from Kodi directly to Retroarch and back and skip EmulationStation altogether?

I understand EmulationStation is more like a frontend for Retroarch, but I think Retroarch has good enough GUI.

Can't get sub folder game when ROMS on USB media

Hello,
When I use ROMS on USB media, the games in sub folder are invisible, such as "\roms\mame\test1\xxxx.zip".
But when it in inner SD card they are visible.

And in old version the games in sub folder are tree struct in ES, but in new version they are flat, I don't think this is a very good change.

Thank you for seeing my chatter.
Best wishes.

S905x2, S905x3, Amlogic-NG: There is a big performance hit if you use Retroarch directly

There has been a longstanding and significant bug on devices that use the Amlogic-NG build (for S905x2, S905x3, S922x, A311D) for a long time now that will reduce performance in 2 scenarios:

1.- ES will show screen tearing after loading any game/emulator.
2.- Using Retroarch directly (from the quit menu or by booting directly) will show significant performance drop after exiting a game and loading another one(or the same one) without restarting Retroarch.

On the first scenario it ONLY affects emulation station and does not affect the games at all, so I suggest not to use Retroarch directly.

Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7P7iY2V1AE

At the moment I do not know where this bug is coming from and have no idea how to fix it, but to my knowledge this also affects Ubuntu and other emulation distros for these devices as well.

More general info can be found here: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=34827&p=276367

so if anyone has any idea how to fix this bug or has a workaround that we could implement, please let me know.

In the meantime, if you have any of those devices, use Emulationstation as your front-end the performance drop on Emulationstation does not affect Retroarch or other emulators.

UPDATE: Latest release v3.5 fixes the sluggishness on Emulationstation, although the Retroarch part still has the bug.

[Bug]Loading game freezed after quit from RetroArch

Version
3.0, 3.1

How to reproduce:
Run a clean 3.1 system, fill it with some game roms
in ES, Quit -> Start RetroArch
In RetroArch, Quit RetroArch.
When back in ES, try to run any roms, the screen will freeze immediately (black screen with clock at right corner), no response to any keys except Ctrl+Alt+Del

Walk Round
When back in ES, System Settings -> Lanugage, change to another language to make it restart ES, then you can run the roms safely.

Tested in Devices
R3300-L: S905L, 1g ram, 8g rom
Q5: S905M, 1g ram, 8g rom
N1: S905D, 2g ram, 8g rom

Update 2019-11-26: Simplified the reproduce description.

ES display is not restored after I force PPSSPPSA to run under 720p60hz. How to fix it?

It's EmuELEC v3.1 (on s905m) running at 1080p60hz. Most emulators work great at this resolution. Due to performance reason, I'm trying to force PPSSPPSA to run under 720p60hz.

Below are the changes I made to /storage/.config/emuelec/scripts/emuelecRunEmu.sh. Change 1 (to force 720p60hz for ppsspp):

"psp")
	if [ "$EMU" = "PPSSPPSA" ]; then
	#PPSSPP can run at 32BPP but only with buffered rendering, some games need non-buffered and the only way they work is if I set it to 16BPP
	# /emuelec/scripts/setres.sh 16 # This was only needed for S912, but PPSSPP does not work on S912
	# force ppsspp to run under 720p60hz
	echo 720p60hz > /sys/class/display/mode
	fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -g 1280 720 1280 1440 16
	set_kill_keys "ppsspp"
	RUNTHIS='${TBASH} /usr/bin/ppsspp.sh "${ROMNAME}"'
	fi
	;;

Change 2 (to restore 1080p60hz):

	# Show exit splash
	echo 1080p60hz > /sys/class/display/mode
	fbset -fb /dev/fb0 -g 1920 1080 1920 2160 32
	${TBASH} /emuelec/scripts/show_splash.sh exit

The result is, PPSSPPSA can run under 720p60hz, but after I quit it, ES shows only blank screen at the left top corner. It seems it fails to restore 1080p60hz. How can I fix it?

BTW, another minor issue, the kill key (hotkey+start) doesn't work for PPSSPPSA.

Which script is able to access the network at system startup

Hi @shantigilbert What I expect is to automatically download some files when the system starts but before ES inits, in which script is able to access the network while booting, please help, thanks a ton.

ES freezes and crashes in the gamelist view

Hi @shantigilbert recently I found a boring bug, there are 2000+ games in my arcade system, ES freezes and crashes after holding the joypad's DOWN button for about 30 seconds in gamelist view, this issue appears in both video UI mode and detail UI mode, please help :(

request: add the new Xbox One Wireless Adapter driver for linux

Last week the linux version of the open source driver for the Xbox One Driver Wireless Adapter was released, its also easy to compile

If added to EmuELEC it would be the first retro distribution to have it, and allow to use the wireless adapter to detect Xbox One controllers as regular wired controllers

Here is the repo:

Merge linux upstream HID input patch

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dtor/input.git/commit/?id=6ce901eb61aa30ba8565c62049ee80c90728ef14

current status in master branch:
amlogic-3.10) use LibreELEC/linux-amlogic 95ba9d626c0fce672caa296f5911ab9190881642 Fixed
amlogic-3.14) use CoreELEC/linux-amlogic f1bb00821950b0f5cab1b8a820c697ba9fbd3183 NOT Fixed
amlogic-4.9) use CoreELEC/linux-amlogic 6f607ec78af4fc755f41a7dd7e73ad6542f9143b Fixed

In my case, i wrote a shell to inject input_event to event device of my gamepad when catch a special input_event triggered by a button pressed and hold, the kernel without the patch will auto report a input_event of button release, but it works fine if kernel be patched.

Maybe we should merge this patch to packages/linux/patches/amlogic-3.14

But if I change /var/run/localtime, it will be restored after reboot.
I found nowhere to set the timezone after I looked through ES and RA. Is there any way to change it?

Thanks!

ES per-system game settings cannot choose SUPERGRAFX (Beetle SGX) core for pcenginecd games

It's EmuELEC v3.1 on s905m. When I configure the per-system settings for pcenginecd from ES, the only core available is PCE_FAST, and I cannot select SUPERGRAFX. The problem is, turbo key doesn't work properly with the former core.

If I launch RA, manually load SUPERGRAFX (Beetle SGX) core and load the game, turbo key works properly. So I'd like to use this core for pcenginecd games.

Which config file defines the cores available for each system? Is it possible I manually add SUPERGRAFX (Beetle SGX) core for pcenginecd?

USB Boot

Not really an issue, I just didn't know how to contact you.

I have a TV BOX without sd card, and it does not boot from usb. So I wonder if there is a .zip version I can install from recovery.

Thanks a lot.

is it a problem?

ROM folders should be identical with Retroarch Database

for people who use Lakka
they can just use Retroarch RDB files to add playlists
and thumbnails for image preview

About emuelec3.1, the question of the shortcut function key in retroarch mode?

Volume shortcut function key code: - 3 and + 3 are the default corresponding to the up key and down key of my handle, but I have changed to other keys, and the up key and down key volume adjustment will still work, which makes me quite puzzled when playing games. The previous version will not have such a problem. It is better to map all the function shortcut keys to the keyboard

How to connect my Bluetooth gamepade

In the original sx05re, there is a kodi to assist in connecting to a Bluetooth device. Now kodi has been deleted, is there no connection option for the Bluetooth device? The Ps3 gamepad can be connected to Bluetooth with a data cable connection first. What about other Bluetooth gamepads?
