More systems may emulate by arkos?

duskgao commented 3 years ago

I am so happy that arkos has a separate supergb system. Now,I checked out the systems that not in arkos, but have been emulated in other OS, for your reference. I hope they would appear in arkos soon...I had login into arkos from sftp,but I can't find es_system.cfg & getcores.sh,so I can't help to add these content myself :(

here is the list:

3.FBneo, there is no separate fbneo contents in arkos like other os -20210322 update: We could make as many arcade sub(eg. pgm/cave) as we want in arkos, This is not the highest priority right now.

7.Palm OS, emulated by mu_libretro,exists in arkos -20210322 update: mu_libretro seems has bug in arkos, It can't run 515os bios correctly.

4.gx4000, should emulated by cap32_libretro? also in recalbox 7.1.1 12.apple2/apple2gs in recalbox 7.1.1,but a standalone linapple also work in Retro-Arena (all these standalone emulators can be found at https://github.com/Retro-Arena/ARES-Binaries/tree/master/buster/odroid-n2/emulators) 13.oric in recalbox 7.1.1 (standalone emulator oricutron in Retro-Arena) 14.Coco/Dragon32/Dragon64: standalone emulator xroar work in Retro-Arena

Macintosh: standalone emulator minivmac work in Retro-Arena -20210322 update: I don't know how to run standalone emulators in arkos via es frontend,maybe I missed some technical issue..

16.java, not in arkos but there is java core(lr-freej2me) in Retro-Arena could you test this? (https://github.com/Retro-Arena/ARES-Binaries/tree/master/buster/odroid-n2/libretrocores) -20210322 update: jave core(freej2me) did run in arkos,but it seems lacks Oracle's JDK, need help about how to install jdk in arkos ;)

17.mess core not in arkos but Retro-Arena has mess/mess2016 cores ,so these systems are in Retro-Arena.(https://github.com/Retro-Arena/ARES-Binaries/tree/master/buster/odroid-n2/libretrocores) -20210322 update: It seems no one except Retro Arena successfully run lr-mess core on OGA/OGS,I had tried many way to do with the hash file/softlist.xml in arkos. Unfortunately, I'm failed

How can I help to add these system to the future arkOS update?

_1.amigacdtv , emulated by puaelibretro,exists in arkos （done!） 2.channel F, emulated by freechaf,exists in arkos （done!） _5.MO5/TO7, emulated by theodorelibretro,exists in arkos （done!） _6.pc88, emulated by quasi88libretro,exists in arkos （done!） _8.satellaview , use snes9xlibretro （done!） _9.videopac ,use o2emlibretro （done!） _10.vic20, use vice_xviclibretro （done!） 11.gb2player/gbc2player just a category for tgbduel （done with megadrive-japan,genh,gbah,gbch,gbh,nesh）

This is quite a large request. Not sure how much of these I will be able to add as for instance, the Apple emulator requires a keyboard to function last I recalled. Macintosh, would it not need a keyboard as well? I focus on emulators that can function without the need for a keyboard. FBNEO is already included. It's under the Arcade section as identified in the ArkOS Emulation and Ports section of the wiki here. The es_systems.cfg is located in the /etc/emulationstation folder.

All Libretro cores are installed in /home/ark/.config/retroarch/cores (64 bit) and /home/ark/.config/retroarch32/cores (32 bit). I typically have all standalone emulators installed in their own separate subfolders within the /opt folder. You're welcome to test and if successful, report what you did so I can test and review for possible inclusion. As a reminder, I will only include emulators that do not need to have a keyboard to use.

Thanks,

thx @christianhaitian for your help.

I used edit ee3.6 's es_system.cfg & getcores.sh to add new system, and it works.I don't know if arkos is similar. I will try to modify the arkos’s es_system.cfg, if it works, I will report here. :D

update: Great ! when I add the Channel F sections to the es_system.cfg,arkos 's es front has Channel F system!

   <system>
    <name>channelf</name>
    <fullname>Fairchild Channel F</fullname>
    <path>/roms/channelf/</path>
    <extension> .bin .BIN .zip .ZIP</extension>
    <command>sudo perfmax; /usr/local/bin/retroarch -L /home/ark/.config/retroarch/cores/freechaf_libretro.so %ROM%; sudo perfnorm</command>
    <platform>channelf</platform>
    <theme>channelf</theme>
</system>

I would add more sections, If you allow me I can help to finish issue #193....

20210310 now added : amigacdtv channelf moto pc88 satellaview videopac vic20

es_systems.cfg.txt @christianhaitian please check it if you have time...

20210310-1 now added: gb2player gbc2player sc3000 megadrive-japan genh gbah gbch gbh nesh es_systems.cfg-0310-2.txt many of them lack logo/backround in theme

christianhaitian commented 3 years ago

I've reviewed and many of the entries seem ok. I may just need to fix some formatting at most. Last I recalled, mesen did not function well on this platform. I will probably not include that. For the new emulators such as ChannelF, moto, vic20, etc. I will need to update the Emulators and Ports section of the wiki for them so people know how to properly get them running. Do you have suggested entries you can submit a PR for?

duskgao commented 3 years ago

Yep ,I can help to submit a wiki txt for you! Just tell me which system you would include in arkos :)

eg.

Fairchild Channel F

Emulator: lr-freechaf Rom Folder: channelf Extensions: .bin .BIN .zip .ZIP Bios: None

If you get advmess working \ installed - I will give it a go. On the RetroPi Blue Motion Unified image it was working - so lets hope so :-)

Is Advance Mess up and running?

Unfortunately,bbc not working... but I test many systems with lr-mess..some of them working,some of them can‘t control

Anything I can do to help? What sort of error did you get? Is lr-mess already on the latest version? If so can I just ssh onto the machine and try executing lr-mess?

No, I don’t think we can do much at the mess core. You can find the core here (https://github.com/Retro-Arena/ARES-Binaries/tree/master/bionic/jetson-nano/libretrocores)

Due to complex settings ,all the _cass,_flop,_cart not work for me. This is the situation in BBC Micro. Especially for pockstat(Sony PocketStation), BIOS does working with controller,but no where to mount the .gme file.

this is the system list I had tested. They all showed at least a BIOS screen on arkos,some of them are fully palyable.

supracan (slow) arcadia (Partial control) apfm1000 (Unable to control) gx4000 (slow) megaduck (fully palyable) gamecom (Unable to control) scv (Unable to control) advision (fully palyable) astrocde (Partial control) gmaster (fully palyable) gamate (fully palyable) gamepock (Partial control) gameking (fully palyable) gamekin3 (fully palyable) gp32 (slow) pv1000 (fully palyable) vc4000 (Partial control) crvision (Unable to control) microvsn (Unable to control) cdimono1 (Unable to control) sv8000 (Unable to control) fmtmarty (slow) apple2gs (Unable to control) myvision (Unable to control) tutor (Unable to control) studio2 (Unable to control)

I personally think that emulating these retro keyboard devices on a handheld is not easy because of the ra‘s retropad remapper setting.

Hello. I have successfully built and run "MKXP"(https://github.com/Ancurio/mkxp) on ArkOS on RG351P. https://www.reddit.com/r/RG350/comments/kuy4d2/mkxp_with_arkos_on_rg351p/ This allows us to run RPG Maker XP/VX/VXAce games. It appears to work well, although there are some somewhat heavy running, some graphical bugs and font problems (by default, problems with Japanese, etc.), and a few games that don't work (e.g. when using the Win32API). However, each game requires a mkxp.conf file to describe its settings. I have yet to figure out how to make this work...

I was able to build "MKXP-Z"(https://github.com/night-burst/mkxp-z), but when I try to run it, I get an "Error initializing SDL: No available video device" error and it immediately quits. "NW.js" (for RPGMaker MV, Ver. 0.23.7... the only version with Arm64 build https://github.com/LeonardLaszlo/nw.js-armv7-binaries/releases/tag/v0.23.7) does not output anything and quits immediately too. index

Great!Can't wait to test it!

But I think you need to open a new issues to @christianhaitian .So he would find you and deal with your awesome work. :)

Okay. I'll do it that way. The work may take several days. Thanks!

Chiffon-Pudding commented 3 years ago

Okey, but @christianhaitian didn't want us to create an issue about the new port, so I created an issue at https://github.com/krishenriksen/AnberPorts that he linked to: krishenriksen/AnberPorts#51

tylibra2 commented 3 years ago

@duskgao - It managed to emulate the Palm OS, I put the 3 files it asks for but nothing appeared. Only the buttons at the bottom appeared, but it didn't play any games. But, I haven't tested it with all the bios yet. I did it for RetroArch. Did you emulate? ChaiLove got just Flappy Bird emulator and a snake game.

@duskgao is the lr-mess or lr-mess2016 included on the current build of ArkOS? If so I can take a look at seeing if I can get it to work, or get some help in. Could you talk me through the steps to get to where you got to with it and I can investigate further?

I've been trying to get the BBC Micro added to RetroArch \ Lib Retro. See the following posts: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/13108#issuecomment-962507678 And Jeremy raised this issue upstream as well: https://github.com/stardot/b-em/issues/162 These guys may also be able to help.

lr-mess is available. If you don't have it already downloaded, just download it through retroarch

christianhaitian commented 2 years ago

Some of these emulators have been incorporated and the rest may or may not over time. Closing this issue as interest in adding the rest may come overtime.
