SDL : ERROR: DEBUG: Couldn't open /etc/timidity.cfg
SDL : ERROR: DEBUG: Couldn't open /etc/timidity/freepats.cfg
SDL : ERROR: DEBUG: Couldn't open timidity.cfg

On AmberElec (RG351) -- OS does not have timidity by default. No audio.

#

Have you also tried loading a save from PC?

#

Out of curiosity

granite tusk
#

Nope

#

I spent the last 4 hours setting this up to boot XD

keen fulcrum
#

Make sense ahah

granite tusk
#

I'm pretty hyped that I actually got something booting for once.

keen fulcrum
#

Like me with the puzzle bubble clone

#

Boot

#

Kinda works

#

But then crash random lol

keen fulcrum
#

Not impossible that on arkos audio works btw

granite tusk
#

^

#

I just don't have a range of options to test on.

#

Hence the thread.

keen fulcrum
#

Midi on amber/jelos is quite often badly digested.
Eventually I can try tomorrow personally

#

That I have no free SD, so I need to do backup, flash and reflash lol

granite tusk
#

Aha the game crash is entirely sound related. Setting sound=0 in the acsetup.cfg enables gameplay.

keen fulcrum
#

LoL

#

System shock 2.0 lol

#

Unironically

#

Ok jelos same behaviour of this game

#

If you enable audio black screen

granite tusk
# 
pulseaudio, alsa, arts, esd, jack, pipewire, disk, dsp, dummy

Audio driver options.

keen fulcrum
#

A bit less worse, but similar

keen fulcrum
granite tusk
#

Only pulse

#

I don't know what else I have included for os.

keen fulcrum
#

Okay, cause pipewire I suppose could work too(maybe only on Jelos lol)

#

Worst case it crashes I suppose lol

#

Some games maybe use alsa too(?)

#

Based on memory about some research I made

#

Totally not the supreme truth ahaha

granite tusk
#

Alsa was the default chosen when none specified in cfg

keen fulcrum
#

okay

granite tusk
#

Just tried other options. No dice.

keen fulcrum
#

rip

#

let'see tomorrow arkos lol

#

worst scenario ever we can write on itch.io i suppose

granite tusk
keen fulcrum
#

dunno, audio and linux are the weirdest shit ever

#

guess a runtime could be difficult to have (i suppose)

granite tusk
#

It could also be that I got the wrong libogg.so.0 file maybe.

keen fulcrum
#

also this

granite tusk
#

I took it from here

keen fulcrum
#

32 bit?

granite tusk
#

I...think so?

keen fulcrum
#

sorry, forgot it's a box86 port for a moment

#

my bad

granite tusk
#

But if it's wrong then the timidity thing could be red herring.

keen fulcrum
#

they are usually fine btw

granite tusk
#

I'll look into it more later, need to go to bed.

keen fulcrum
#

crearly if there's a check on a particular vers good luck lol

#

but i don't think that's this

granite tusk
#

@blazing mesa Hopefully I didn't offend you with the bugs bunny gag. I know how you like to send folks down rabbit holes is all.

Timidity is built into the AGS engine and does not have to be installed separately.```
keen fulcrum
#

need the arkos test lol

granite tusk
#

Well it also needs a timidity.cfg, which isn't included in the itch download.

#

But timidity is a service, so I don't know if it's possible to run it in parallel.

keen fulcrum
#

Guess we can link them if the file is on the only issue

granite tusk
granite tusk
#

I’ll try it tomorrow, I think I can just make a .cfg and point it to the instrument patches.

blazing mesa

#

I’m not convinced the audio is supposed to be converted to midi

keen fulcrum
#

Converting an audio track to midi definitely is not something feasible without shitty results or a total rewrite

granite tusk
#

No I mean the contents of the audio.vox are ogg hence the libogg inclusion.

#

Timidity shouldn’t be needed.

keen fulcrum
#

Depends

granite tusk
#

So I think I have the wrong kind of libogg

keen fulcrum
#

The game uses a single sound from 78 star trek?

#

It uses timidity then

granite tusk
#

The game is also supposed to use spoken audio in speech.vox. I can’t see that being midi.

keen fulcrum
granite tusk
#

I tried the windows version this morning before work. No audio at main menu. Audio in gameplay.

#

Definitely didn’t sound like midi

keen fulcrum
#

They are ogg

#

Kinda obvious lol

#

That said, evidently something is midi

#

I mean, having a hybrid approach is something we do since like 80's

#

That said, you probably can find plenty of libogg by just searching armhf libname

granite tusk
#

I’d think the one supplied with the game would work.

#

Box86 kept complaining that it couldn’t see it though.

#

Thats why I switched it to this one.

#

Although I did have to rename it to lose the minor version numbers.

#

I bet that’s what it is

#

Idk why these things use symlinks for the major versions.

granite tusk

#

@keen fulcrum Are you able to compile the latest box86?

keen fulcrum
#

i can try

#

i suppose

#

now i'm building zelda oot that seems finally without weird dependencies

#

after that i can do it

#

30 mins i suppose

granite tusk
#

All the box86 builds I have in existing ports appear to be before June 23 2023

#

Np thanks for the assist

keen fulcrum
#

suppose they are defintely old in general the oen you can find

#

ones

granite tusk
#

All good I found prebuilds from github actions

blazing mesa
#

I compiled a new one too for Airline Tycoon

#

With all the correct toggles we need

granite tusk
keen fulcrum
keen fulcrum
#

that i noticed a fuckton of compile possibilities

blazing mesa
keen fulcrum
#

Top secret

blazing mesa
#

It was a mixture from odroid, rpi and the rk ones

#

Without hardware specific compile flags

granite tusk
#

I don't get it. The log shows that timidity is set up, but it still crashes with sound=1.

blazing mesa
#

Or strace

granite tusk
#

Uploading zip in a sec

#

SDL_SIMDAlloc

#

That symbol should be in the box86 build.
