I was wondering how to add cores such as mupen or psx? When I installed lakka I saw I was missing those 2 emulators and I’m having a very hard time understanding what exactly I need to download yet alone how to install the cores. Could someone please lead me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Hello, I suppose you’re using a raspberry pi 1. It’s an old hardware and it was never able to run full speed psx and mupen. Please think about buying an Odroid-C1, a Hummingboard, or a Raspberry Pi 2 instead.
Sorry for the late reply, I’m assuming the code knows what hardware I’m using so therefore it limits what emulators can be used?
anyway to install virtaul boy core??
I have the same question , I would like to add mame core to play old games that I can not make it work in fba as elevator action , tempest and joust. is that possible?
thanks.
I’m afraid that’s not possible. I was asking myself the same thing but you don’t have access to cores at all! You can access roms and config files though. I installed minimal Debian Jessie and compiled whatever cores I needed.
how do you do that…i mean compile your own cores???
You can download linux cores from here: http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/x86_64/ Compilation guides are here: http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?t…ch_Compilation and here: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArc…de-%28Linux%29 Basically, install required dependencies for your distribution. git clone retroarch and cores. cd to core or retroarch directory. run make or make -f Makefile.libretro depending on the core and wait.
Kalehrl: This worked without issue for me under KodiUbuntu/XBMCUbuntu, or what ever they call it. The only problem is that the new emulators such as the 3DO didn’t work, and others were very slow.
I’m going to play with Openelec, but I’m starting to think all this will be less hassel if I just wait for Lakka to mature.
I have no issues with speed having in mind the specs of my machine - asus eee pc 701 with 900MHz processor and 512MB of RAM. I can run full speed fceumm, picodrive, snes9x-next, doom, tyrquake, mame2003. I don’t use X server but EGL/KMS and I compile my cores on a virtual machine.
With standard Retroarch (from the repository) , I’m full speed on this computer and lesser machines too, it’s just when I compile from source that I have issues.
ah…there is no way to do it using windows then…guess im screwed now…no way to covert the mednafen_vb into the raspberry pi version… 
Compile it or raspi following this tutorial: http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=56070 Or setup a raspbian cross-compiling toolchain on linux virtual machine:
but when i go to the virtuaboy git here https://github.com/libretro/beetle-vb-libretro
it shows psx and not virtual boy???
