Gamegirl: the retro console done right

[davidperrenoud]

As I've already discussed with some people on IRC, we are making a portable console with the developer of Lakka:

https://hackaday.io/project/10207-gameg ... done-right

We are planning to use Lutro in order to support games made with the LÖVE API. This port of LÖVE is not yet 100% compatible but it's improving every day. The advantage is that the games can then run on any platform supported by RetroArch (Raspberry Pi, ODROID, Android, etc.) Don't hesitate to contact Kivutar if you can help with the software!

This looks... interesting...

I thought this was an interesting project, and was interested in porting one of my games to retroarch using libretro-lutro. Unfortunately, I can't get iyfct running :(

Perhaps you can help me:

I am running ubuntu 14.04, and I added the retroarch ppa, and installed it.

Code: Select all

$ retroarch --version
RetroArch: Frontend for libretro -- v1.3.0Compiler: GCC (4.8.4) 64-bitBuilt: Jan 15 2016

I then cloned libretro-lutro, and `make`'d it. I have the lutro_libretro.so binary.

Code: Select all

$ pwd
/home/seppi/repos/libretro-lutro
$ ls -lah lutro_libretro.so 
-rwxrwxr-x 1 seppi seppi 877K Mar 25 11:34 lutro_libretro.so

I then clone lutro-iyfct to "/home/seppi/repos/lutro-iyfct", and ran as described:

Code: Select all

$ retroarch -L libretro_lutro.so ../lutro-iyfct/

But I get absolutely no output or x11 window. What am I doing wrong?

I haven't been able to run Lutro either (Segmentation fault on RetroArch 1.3.2 on OS X).

Maybe Kivutar can help us be I think he is away this week.

Lutro is unfinished. And it would be better to have a real love2d libretro port anyway. It would benefit more users.
