Canonball core on 2.1.1 (RPi3)

[masid101]

Hello.

Does anybody know how to use the new Cannonball core? I’m using the RPi3 version and copied the required files (outrun.zip) to a newly created folder called system\cannonball. Then I’m loading and starting the core. Don’t know if this is the right way to do it! …Core just crashes with a seg fault.

Here’s the log …

Okay, this seems to be the problem …

Cannonball core not loading

Hi, I am having problems getting the Cannonball core to load; I am using RetroArch 1.7.3. When I select ‘Start Core’, RetroArch attempts to load the core but then quits completely. I have tried this on two different PCs and also with a fresh installation. My Cannonball ROMs work fine in the original Cannonball https://github.com/djyt/cannonball/wiki and they have also been patched with the audio fix. I’d prefer to get it working in RetroArch as the Shaders look nicer. Log file from RetroArc…

Deleting the dinothawr core (don’t need this thing), loading the cannonball ball core and then loading content “cannonball.game” works here for me. Saving the settings ingame ends in error anyway, but playing is possible.

Hi!

That was the old way of running the core. These are the steps:

1. Get the cannonball_libretro.info file from http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/frontend/info/ and put it in your cores/ folder. It is missing from the 2.1.1 build.
2. Reboot
3. Go to your outrun roms folder and create a dummy file called cannonball.game. This folder can now be anywhere, it does not have to be in system/.
4. Open content > cannonball.game

If your roms are OK it should run.

Yep, works here.

It would be great to have the ingame “save settings” working in future versions and a playlist symbol to make it nice to start the game.

Get the cannonball_libretro.info file from http://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/frontend/info/ and put it in your cores/ folder.

So, \storage\cores is the place where to put the *.info files?

Thanks.

Hi, the fix to my cannonball issue related to updating the core info files.

In the end to fix it I selected, ‘Online Update’ and then selected ‘Update Core Info Files’. This fixed the incorrect association with Dinothawr.

Also, my OutRun roms were unzipped, like this: https://i.imgur.com/WmwWKUD.png

Hopefully that might help.

So, \storage\cores is the place where to put the *.info files?

Yes, that is correct.

[Yrvyne]

Thank you.

This is very interesting because according to the below comment cores should be placed there and no info whatsoever about info files.

How to update cores in lakka(PI 3)

With Lakka you put the newer core in the Cores folder. The new core file in the Lakka cores folder overrides the older read-only core in /usr/lib/libretro. You cannot put a core file into /usr/lib/libretro yourself.

So, what is the procedure to use a nightly core from the buildbot in Lakka?
Where must I place the core?

I am asking because I want to try the new ppsspp_libretro.so in Lakka 2.1.1.

Thank you once again.

[metchebe]

Hi, it’s the same directory for cores.

For the RPi3 they would be the armhf builds at http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/

FYI the PPSSPP core is not available for this architecture (and probable wouldn’t run well or at all on the RPi3).

[Yrvyne]

I’m aware. Should have mentioned that my hardware is x86_64, Beelink S1.
Cheers.
