Hello all and (another) newbie question

Libretro Lakka
#1

Hello to all the community, i’m new here and i casually found this great project. I own an Odroid XU4 and i’m really interested in transform it in a retro consolle :smiley: however reading faq and infos i noticed i need to put ROM files inside the ROMS folder that will be created in eMMC. problem is i “only” have a 8gb eMMC installed in my Odroid and it cerainly will not accomodate all roms… so the newbie question: is it possible to relocate the ROMS folder on the micro sd? i could use a bigger sd then. i searched here in the forum but actually i wasn’t able to find anything useful :frowning:

thanks in advance Juri

Hello Yurif74, yes, you can.

The micro SD partitions should be automatically mounted in your ROM folder anyway.

Tell us if you encounter problems doing so.

#3

thanks, i’m not so good with linux, infact i have android installed on eMMC, however if i insert an sdcard with roms files inside they will be automatically mounted in the rom folder? that’s great. is there any particular format to be used with sdcard? fat,fat32,ntfs? thanks

#4

Any of fat32, ntfs, or ext2/3/4 should work.

hello again, i finally installed Lakka on my odroid ux4. installation progress ran flawlessly however i have some problem… actually i can navigate the menu using a wireless keyboard since i was not be able to navigate it with my original PS3 controller. i tried in all 3 usb ports without any success, pressing both l3+r3 or central button have no effect. i have 4 led blinking on the controller and i’m using the original usb cable included in my ps3 if i turn off my odroid or detach the controller my ps3 start! :smiley: what’s wrong?

i also loaded a micro sd card (8 gb for testing) with all pc engine roms (goodpce 1.09) but nothing show on menu, i loaded the card with uncomppressed roms (in .pce format)…

tested 2048 game it work (with keyboard ofcourse) but i get no sound (maybe the game itself do not have sound, i do not know)

any suggestions please? thanks

Juri

You have to push the PS button (central button) once and it should start working.

Did you get the Autoconfig Profiles (Retroarch Menu > Online Updater > Update Autoconfig Profiles) ?

At least your controller is recognized when you try to bind it ? You need to go to menu Settings > Input > Input User 1 Binds > User 1 Bind All

For the audio, can you try to type this command :

aplay -l

and

cat /proc/asound/cards

aplay -l return:

Can you check that the directory (Menu Settings > Directory > Input Device Autoconfig Dir) contains the autoconfig profiles ?

And what is the output of lsusb when your controller is plugged ?

Everything is fine with the configuration, strange it doesn’t recognize your controller…
