MME4CRT SR2(Switchres) - Huge Update. Most User Issues Resolved

alexb3d · 9 September 2021 07:04

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxrandr-dev

Could this be included as a dependency in the installation of the PPA, Flatpak/Snap? I do not know how it would be on the Appimage. Without that the CRT does not work.

Or make the clarification in the docs.

I just added them to the snap, so whenever it finishes building (should be in about 30 mins), you could try to update to the “edge” channel and see if it worked. I’m not super-confident it will, due to snap’s sandboxing stuff, though. The AppImage might have more success there.

EDIT: you might also send a PR to include that bit in the docs, though. It’s good info to have, just for reference.

You would need to re install you resolution so that they are dynamic. As you would following the guide for installing the normal way for GrooveyMame

Alphanu · 9 September 2021 17:19

I have updated the docs for this exception. Hopefully the PR will get merged quickly.

Alphanu · 9 September 2021 17:27

That is correct. It does say that currently. In all my test user, use cases this did not come up as a issue.

As I have mentioned in my previous post. The docs will be updated soon.

Alphanu · 9 September 2021 17:36

I need to investigate this more. It does seem like an SR2 issue. So i will need to bring this up with the other devs

alexb3d · 9 September 2021 20:14

Thank you, I’m going to install the SNAP to test all versions that can be installed.

I did not know what I could do this, I think @Alphanu already shipped the report.

Seems to be working fine I like how it correctly sets the refresh rate for the emulator. SNES runs at 60.08 and SMS/GEN run at 59.923, even though they’re both using the 2560x224/192 modelines generated.

hunterk · 11 September 2021 12:46

I just added the runtime deps to the PPA recipes, as well, so whenever the testing PPA does another round of builds, you can try those, too.

alexb3d · 12 September 2021 03:28

I installed the PPA Testing, has not yet been updated, then I try again.

The Snap, when activating the option the program closes immediately.

hunterk · 12 September 2021 03:31

Does the snap tell you anything useful in the log? It looks like the PPA just updated 5 mins ago: https://launchpad.net/~libretro/+archive/ubuntu/testing/+packages?field.name_filter=retroarch&field.status_filter=published&field.series_filter=

alexb3d · 12 September 2021 04:20

Upon updating the PPA, the missing libraries were installed. It works perfectly the switchres in the PPA.

I am looking for how a log is generated with the snap and I can not get as. I found this but I do not understand.

Can you tell me how do you please?

hunterk · 12 September 2021 04:45

Just a regular RetroArch log is what we need. Settings > logs > logging verbosity to debug-0, log to file ON.

alexb3d · 12 September 2021 05:42

I followed the steps, it is saved inside a remote Snap folder (~/snap/retroarch/791/.config/retroarch/logs). It is this?

ok, that’s the stable build. Try switching to the ‘edge’ channel by doing: sudo snap refresh retroarch --edge

alexb3d · 12 September 2021 20:49

I already tried Snap. It works impeccable.

I think even better than the PPA, because in the PPA sometimes (few) when retroarch is closed. It does not recover the resolution of the CRT monitor.

Now, to try the AppImage I need to unistall the PPA retroarch. Because if the library is installed from the repository the CRT in the Appimage works, it only does not serve.

I have the nightly installed.

Does this work on Lakka? I would like to use a Pi to auto switch scan rates between games for a Tri Sync arcade monitor (15Khz, 24KHz, 31Khz) Any input is appreciated!
