games-emulation/emulationstation doesn't work. #102

Open crocket opened 6 years ago

crocket commented 6 years ago

games-emulation/emulationstation-2.6.0 freezes when I try to enter a game system like dreamcast. When it freezes, it consumes 100% of a CPU core. I have to kill it with pkill -9 emulation when it freezes.

I tried to compile -9999, but it fails. Perhaps, I need the latest stable version.

After upgrading emulationstation from 2.6.0 to 2.7.1, it works without freezing.

Unfortunately, -9999 can be compiled but cannot be executed.

$ emulationstation
lvl0:   Error - File type unknown!
Segmentation fault

Have you tried deleting the gamelist/config and trying again? I have heard thearchive scraper can cause problems like this.

crocket commented 6 years ago

I moved ~/.emulationstation somewhere else and executed emulationstation. I still see the same error. The problem is segmentation fault.

I guess this is an upstream issue.

stefan-gr commented 6 years ago

Yeah, I have the same problem on arch. But getting usable backtraces on arch is impossible.

I'm trying to fix -9999 version, see https://github.com/stefan-gr/abendbrot/pull/119 .

Actually, my ebuild is working, i was having issues because of some EGIT_COMMIT value in /etc/portage/env/games-emulation/emulationstation. Now i have a working emulationstation-2.7.5 running on kms on my raspberry.
