Try to run games but they don't launch

Libretro Lakka
#1

I have lakka installed on an HP pavilion dm1 AMD processor. But when I run a ROM it just resets back to lakka. I would like to know what the errors are and why it’s doing this.

#2

Which cores? Which ROMs?

http://www.lakka.tv/doc/FAQ/ scroll down to the part labeled “How do I debug RetroArch?” That log will tell you/us what’s actually going wrong.

#3

Long time ago, we had a bug like this on AMD. Because of a texture format. I really hope this bug is not back.

#4

I tried launching a few .nes files on nestopia and one snes rom. I launched the system with the error log as well. Here if you want to read it. http://pastebin.com/2qrk5fzQ

#5

Here is the log I get from launching Super Mario Bros. for NES. http://pastebin.com/kahvHkjJ

#6

Did you try with other core ? Because it seems you got a crash when loading the NES game. You can try to get a backtrace from gdb.

I can’t get Air Gallet to work on my X64 PC with FBA - I’ve tried everything. It just resets to the main Lakka Screen.

#9

I forgot it is not debug version so we can’t know exactly where it crashed. Do you reproduce the error with other platform ?

Can you get the ouput of

 lspci -nn | grep VGA

Unadan : Air Gallet works you need the rom and the parent rom.

I’ve tried everything with Air Gallet - I have like six files related to the game from FBA sites - none of them work. Do I need a bios file to be located in the same directory?

I have a Mame version of the game that DOES work under Lakka but not under the FBA emulator.

#11

Are there some roms you’re able to launch? Or 100% of them fails?

#12

Almost all work - except for AG. Update - actually the same MAME rom I have for this games also loads with FBA - in a bit smaller screen mode (which I like better anyway). Working the bugs out…

Here is what I got when I tried to run Sonic.

Ok I got it working now. The problem was I had the wrong version installed. I got the version from http://lifehacker.com/how-to-turn-your-pc-or-other-device-into-a-retro-arca-1703576831 online tutorial but the one I downloaded from the main site http://www.lakka.tv/get/linux/ worked right out of the box.

#16

Yeah, I understand now. Glad that it works now :slight_smile:
