RetroArch on Enigma2

General Development
#1

I’m added RetroArch latest git version in my Enigma2, and for now is working good. I’m maked small changes in RetroArch for use the STB Remote Controller to navegate MENU, but of some reason the RetroArch is receiving input as a double input (example: I press DOWN, and in RetroArch is a double DOWN).

I’m not have this problem with a PC Keyboard or a Xbox One Controller. Any ideia for solve this?

RetroArch changes:

Already solved, thanks.

Hey, sorry for not responding to your first post. What ended up being the issue?

It’s all right, the problem is a delay time in menu input, the response time of a PC keyboard is more fast comparated to a STB RC and because of this I get the problem of double input event when using STB RC.

For fix this I made this changes:

diff --git a/menu/menu_input.c b/menu/menu_input.c
index e82438a842..8e4d902c7d
--- a/menu/menu_input.c
+++ b/menu/menu_input.c
@@ -197,7 +197,7 @@ unsigned menu_event(input_bits_t *p_input, input_bits_t *p_trigger_input)
           * for old_input_state. */

          first_held  = true;
-         delay_timer = initial_held ? 200 : 100;
+         delay_timer = initial_held ? 300 : 150;
          delay_count = 0;
       }

This solve my problem without any issue with PC keyboard.

Ah, ok. I’ll run this by some other folks and see if it’s a change we can make upstream for you

#6

Thank you, Can you tell me if I implement HW Video Decoder I will have a better performance in emulators?

For now emulators like Game Boy Advanced, Mega Drive, Super Nintendo, MAME and some other’s I tested is okay. But for example DeSmuME runs game in a very slow mode.

My STB is a Hisilicon hi3798Cv200 2.0GHz Quad with 2GB RAM.

#7

It depends. Unfortunately, desmume is just very slow. My Nvidia Shield ATV only runs some games full speed, and even those are borderline.

#8

So, I will keep this for other time. I think with HW Video Decoder will save CPU Usage, but for now not is very necessary.

Thanks

Hi @hunterk, Today I only need this patch to run lastest RetroArch version on my E2, like this I can navigate on MENU using STB RemoteControl, but when I open Virtual Keyboard the STB RemoteControl stop working.

You have any idea on how to put STB RemoteControl working with Virtual Keyboard? Thanks

tell me how you can run RetroArch on Enigma2. Amiko Viper 4k receiver Hisilicon Hi3798Mv200 processor

#11

You will need linux and your box need have mali support. You can check this patch for retroarch:

And this git:

#13

I can not install RetroArch, you can give detailed instructions on how to run on Enigma2

#14

Why is it only Arm TVBox? where can I get this for mips32?
