Odroid Go-Super Fixes

[hazy timber]

OGS has some problems with some games.

@opaque cliff

ok fuck my PM does not start anymore 😛

after installing

[opaque cliff]

oh well

[hazy timber]

do you know where it's installed?

ah /roms/tool/PortMaster

[opaque cliff]

yep

[hazy timber]

I'll continue once we can start PM again

[opaque cliff]

do you try to use portmaster gui?

[hazy timber]

@thorny nexus

[sick fox]

You mean to tell me I have to get this cursed device out again?😵😂

[hazy timber]

File "/roms/tools/PortMaster/exlibs/sdl2/dll.py", line 44, in wrapper raise RuntimeError(err) └ "'SDL_GetTicks64' requires SDL2 <= 2.0.18, but the loaded version is 2.0.16."

[opaque cliff]

I tried only ascii version and it is ok

[hazy timber]

bad news

old ass sdl2 version

This is a problem too

[opaque cliff]

that is expected

[sick fox]

Filled with thorns

[opaque cliff]

distro since 2021\2022

[hazy timber]

Any new updates?

[opaque cliff]

for retro oz ? no

it's abandoned

this is what I did before updating portmaster via internet

[hazy timber]

That's the old Portmaster

we won't use that anymore

also has not the right tools in it

Like harbourmaster that we need for our runtime manager

[opaque cliff]

ok, elaborate. I have ascii portmaster 7.03

is it outdated?

[hazy timber]

not really

that works

[opaque cliff]

because it works for me

ok nice

[hazy timber]

but the package you linekd does not

we upgraded the main portmaster with the new backend

only the gui has not been released yet

but soon

[opaque cliff]

but new gui don't work on retrooz, right?

[hazy timber]

#1168252473169936454 message

[opaque cliff]

try to do as I did, install 6.51 with fixes for retrooz and then update via internet connection

[hazy timber]

not sure if there is a workaround

[hazy timber]

but this is for the old gui

Can't use that

[opaque cliff]

😦

[hazy timber]

but maybe there is a way

else someone has to update this thing

or fix whatever jelos problems there are 😛

[opaque cliff]

retrooz is very smooth compared to jelos. I will stick to it as long as it is not completely broken

[hazy timber]

but the old sdl will probalby be the cause for many ports that just don't run

[opaque cliff]

hope portmaster will have ascii version somewhere for shit devices 🙂

[hazy timber]

😄

copying gta 3 now

yep does not start

[opaque cliff]

do you have in-game menu?

[hazy timber]

Yeah

it crashes upon loading the actual game

[opaque cliff]

nice, same here

[hazy timber]

So what issues do you have with jelos exactly? 😄

[opaque cliff]

ahah, it stopped to recognize my wife dongle

i can't copy files on it 😄

[hazy timber]

oh

maybe we can figure that out easier 😄

because they are actually working on the os and can patch things

[opaque cliff]

emulationstation "start" menu seems slow too, but it is problem only for first setup, when I tried to adjust it as I like

I see they have rollout releases

maybe I should try new iso

[hazy timber]

Maybe we should work with that

becausse it will consume all our time

and in the end we won't get fixes for old sdl updates

[opaque cliff]

ok, let's try jelos again

I will do it soon

but I see many problems with jelos and sound

[hazy timber]

awesome i will too and we'll figure stuff out and I'll also work with the devs to get any problems fixed

[hazy timber]

x55

[opaque cliff]

yep, x55 is even more cursed

[hazy timber]

and that is only in the testing threads

that's why we have them

[opaque cliff]

jelos has portmaster inside. should my first step be to delete portmaster and reinstall it from portmaster.games?

[hazy timber]

drop this in ports

https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-GUI/releases/download/8.4.23_0918/Install.PortMaster.sh

and it will replace the jelos pm

and you will come into the glory of the new gui

make sure to try the zelda or FF theme

[opaque cliff]

sure, zelda ftw

my internet is broken today

[hazy timber]

tekken even made the music track himself

[hazy timber]

i have that all the time with github

eu is throttled all the time

[opaque cliff]

1 more hour to wait, so I will go beat some arses in xenoblade

[hazy timber]

i sometimes use vpn then it works

[opaque cliff]

ok, still no wifi

"network" is enabled but when I look for wifi acess point - list is empy

what is strange - it was working when I tried jelos for the very first time a week ago

[hazy timber]

what brand is the stick?

and model?

[opaque cliff]

TP-Link TL-WN725N

works like a charm in retrooz

[hazy timber]

RTL8188EUS I think it uses

@finite socket do you know what troubleshooting we can do to check?

[finite socket]

Kernel driver is there https://github.com/JustEnoughLinuxOS/distribution/blob/main/projects/Rockchip/devices/RK3326/linux/linux.aarch64.conf#L4572

usually if wifi wont connect can try rebooting and fix the issue

[hazy timber]

Maybe I have a similar stick laying around

@opaque cliff yeah reboot after inserting it

i had similar when using mine the first time

no wifi it said

then rebooted twice then it was there

[opaque cliff]

WIFI SSID "NO WI-FI" after 3 reboots

D: tried to set wifi energy save on\off, set different hostname, password, reboot dozen of times

[hazy timber]

Which port are you using?

Because I think i have the exact same one

😄

[opaque cliff]

I use the only USB full size port avalable 😄

is it working for you?

[hazy timber]

not tried on jelos yet

BUT

I have had massive issues with this stick on all devices

too much power draw

didn#t work on my 351p

on my 552

and then i used some cheap china stick 😄

didn't work on the usbc adapter

but worked on the full size

after rebooting couple of times nad enabling and deactivating it

on retrooz that is

[opaque cliff]

I see, I remember it was even glowing blue on jelos when it was working. so I guess power consumtion is not an issue here

[hazy timber]

yep and that annoying light i remember

😄

[opaque cliff]

😄

I think it disappears when in power save mode

or at least on retrooz it is not glowing

[hazy timber]

😄

[hazy timber]

Flashed jelos -> boot -> insert power cable -> insert wifi dongle -> network settings -> enable network

stick blinks since inserting

and wifi network is found

But only 2,4g

no 5g

[opaque cliff]

oh, maybe I need to connect power

I mean charger

[hazy timber]

i only did it because mine was on 7% charge

[opaque cliff]

but still

i got one thing for debugging

[hazy timber]

nice!

[opaque cliff]

well, I tried with power cable , restarting and everything - dongle is not active

I will try to find ethernet cable later

[opaque cliff]

I can confirm one thing

this setup is not working

I can connect to network if I do this

but I have no idea how to debug not working wifi now

😄

[hazy timber]

Problem is that we both have the same stick

and one works the other not 😄

Worst case scenario

😄

[thorny nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/do-something-comeon-stickman-bored-gif-22722853

[opaque cliff]

ah , right, at least it is fun

a little

[hazy timber]

Now we need 5 other china wifi sticks and see if they work 😛

[opaque cliff]

😄

[hazy timber]

board design, maybe the power output is minimal different

enough that it makes a difference

[opaque cliff]

next step is usb hub

[hazy timber]

good thinking!

if it works then it's really power issue

*powered usb hub

[opaque cliff]

yes

please just compile gta3 with older SDL and close the thread

joking

[thorny nexus]

lmao

[thorny nexus]

https://tenor.com/view/no-smack-gif-26250252

[opaque cliff]

I found out I don't have any hub with separate power. but I think power is not an issue because dongle works in retrooz in any condition- plug in and you are online.

the only idea I have - to use passive hub to connect wifi and ethernet at the same time to ssh to it and check what is wrong with wlan

[opaque cliff]

I confirm that replacing gptokeyb with this file makes "start+select" work in retrooz

but I guess it should also brake something 😄

[hazy timber]

Yeah its thing slayer said

[opaque cliff]

I want to share my strange fix of wifi issue. my wifi dongle1 doesn't work no matter what I do: reboot , replug and etc. Now I got wifi dongle2 and plug it into usb then restart ogs and it connects to internet. then I remove wifi dongle2 and plug into dongle1 and it just works with no problems.

soon I will test nintendo ds performance and try gta3 port (if I manage to beat final xenoblade 3 boss)

[hazy timber]

So on jelos?

Nice!!

Now i can give you support lol!

[opaque cliff]

yep, out of my comfort zone (retrooz) and back to bleeding edge

[opaque cliff]

portmaster installs only via ssh

can't do it from emulationstation

aaand it runs blackscreen

ok, all is nice after reboot.

is it ok that I can navigate only with R1 L1 R2 L2 and A B ?

[hazy timber]

Uhm

did you use our new .sh installer?

Drop into ports folder

and launch it done

currently have a problem that upon reboot the portmaster folder is being overwritten by jelos but they'll patch it soon

[opaque cliff]

that is how I did

but this leads to 5-10 sec of blackscreen then fall back to ES

but if I run ssh and install it from there - it is ok

[hazy timber]

pugwash.txt inside portmaster folder helps to troubleshoot 🙂

[opaque cliff]

after reboot I see new gui

[opaque cliff]

btw, did you try gta3 on jelos?

it's just don't start for me

at all

brogue seems functional

[hazy timber]

yeah

[opaque cliff]

and I can't summon "virtual keyboard" with LEFT+something in SuperTuxKart

[opaque cliff]

so it actually can work, right?

[hazy timber]

I think i tested it, but i can test it tomorrow to be sure

[opaque cliff]

odroid_jelos:/roms/ports # sh ./Grand\ Theft\ Auto\ 3.sh
/roms/ports/PortMaster/control.txt: line 17: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input

[hazy timber]

what's on line 43?

[opaque cliff]

./re3 2>&1 | tee log.txt

[hazy timber]

Permission denied is odd

[opaque cliff]

maybe the reason is that I copied them with root rights?

ah, but I don't have other way to copy 😄 that should not be a problem

[hazy timber]

jelos runs stuff as root

maybe lost the chmod +x permission

[opaque cliff]

chmod +x ./Grand\ Theft\ Auto\ 3.sh

like this?

didn't help

[hazy timber]

you could try to do ./re3 directly

[opaque cliff]

oh right, but tomorrow 😄 thanks

[opaque cliff]

btw, I can confirm that jelos has huge framedrops in n64 emulation compared to retrooz. pokemon stadium 2 is slideshow while it is fullspeed in retrooz. even with "performance" governor

I wonder what is the issue here

[hazy timber]

They have 4-5 differnet emulators

which oneS?

[opaque cliff]

actually it was latest mupen64 for retroarch in retrooz and standalone mupen64 in jelos

i know it is not so good comparison

but in my experience retro arch core is always slower than standalone

[hazy timber]

they use different hacks

[opaque cliff]

I will try again this evening, I want to use jelos but I see only problems (except good looking portmaster tool, themes are very nice)

please check gta3 if you will have time

[hazy timber]

When I'm at home 🙂

in 9 hours or so 🙂

[finite socket]

I dont think the version in portmaster works with OpenGL devices. I have a better version that works with JELOS mainline builds. Ill need to create a custom repo for that

my version should run better anyways

true OpenGL support

[finite socket]

you probably didnt set the video plugin to the best for your game.

[opaque cliff]

do you mean some retroarch settings ? I tried mupen64 and mepen64 next cores in jelos's retroarch and they are bad

[finite socket]

No in the ES settings set the Mupen64 video core.

It defaults to rice but you can change it glide64 or gl64mk2. But you are probably right that performance might be a little better on higher end things on some other distros. JELOS uses pipewire for audio, which can be a little taxing on the CPU.

We are necessarily going to for the fastest distro, but a more secure, up to date, feature rich operating system.
