Win64 and Android Test Builds

To all android users who have issue with saving their gamepad binding and the overlay impossible to deactivate: i ve found something useful to avoid binding all the gamepad each time :slight_smile:

after having bind all the buttons in the RGUI, click on 'save new config". it will create a retroarch-date-.cfg file in the data\data\com.retroarch.com folder. copy this file to a full read and write folder of your choice like your sdcard. edit the file with any text editur, find the line input_overlay and edit it :input_overlay = ā€œfalseā€ then at each startup, you just click on ā€œconfigurationā€ in the rgui and select your cfg file !!

it works perfectly with the 28-11 release ! now we just have to find how to load this cfg file automatically

In the latest android version none of my gamepads ("Wired logitech Rumblepadā„¢ 2, wireless ps3 controller) are detected in RA RGUI

Is it a matter of drivers?

Iā€™ve been pretty busy with my personal life these last few weeks but I did manage to have time to put OpenElec on a spare 2.5: hdd and throw it in my wifeā€™s laptop, giving me something to work with.In my spare time I am still trying to figure out how the heck I manage to originally get sharers to work but not now. If any of the devs see this maybe they might be able to help as I get the following when trying to enable a shader before RA fcā€™s:

RetroArch [ERROR] :: gl_cg_init :: Invalid profile type
RetroArch [WARN] :: gl_set_shader :: [GL]: Failed to set multipass shader. Falling back to stock.
RetroArch [ERROR] :: gl_cg_init :: Invalid profile type

@BlockABoots, that just means that RA is trying to temp disable the screensaver while it is running but with OE there is no screensaver to disable.

@lordashram: just to ask, did you manage to look into the NetPlay issue at all?

As Iā€™ve been using the buildbot nightly releases and iā€™m still having problems for some strange reason.

#945

If youā€™re getting failed to initialize NETPLAY itā€™s because you have UAC enabled, you might need to add an UAC exception or run as administrator. It uses sockets and for some reason it wonā€™t work without that and there is no way around that. I guess it should give you an UAC prompt but I donā€™t know how to make that happen, Iā€™ll look into it.

For now give it a shot like that, run as administrator

#946

I have UAC completely disabled, as i find that itā€™s unnecessary and gets really annoying.

Running as Admin, still does nothing for me.

I donā€™t understand why itā€™s not working for me, when it used to work before. :confused:

#947

Well that did it for some user on the channelā€¦ Iā€™ve personally tested win32 and win64 nightlies net play and itā€™s always worked for me

#948

Can I update nightlies by overwriting old files with the ones from a new package except for configuration files or do I have to configure new build each time?

#949

Yes, actually if youā€™re in the beta or an older nightly that\s the easiest choice course of action since Iā€™m no longer shipping all the DLLs with the nightlies (they are in a redist.7z in the same nightly folder)

Weā€™ll ship complete dependencies with stable and beta releases of course

#950

Any progress on the Lord?

#951

Iā€™ve temporarily put off trying to get shaders working as I had concentrated most of my efforts trying to make improvements to the addon with things like the rgui.sh script and trying to get that script working in OE instead of a bash shell. From now on I plan to post my progress in my new OE thread in this forum.
