AtariNostalgia Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I guess there is no chance for this working on a Pi zero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Well, the Pi4 is the first one in the series that is actually fast enough to run the emulation. Even Pi3 achieved less than 10% of the minimum performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariNostalgia Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I have installed SNES on one of my zeros, and it barely runs it, so it makes sense. I have the Pi3+, but I'll get a Pi4 before attempting installation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Also note that the various emulations in MAME have very different performance requirements. If some arcade machine emulation runs smoothly, this does not mean anything for another system emulation. One of the performance killers of the TI-99/8 emulation are the 24 GROMs, each of them emulated with a state machine and a clock pulse (and, of course, the TMS9995).

+9640News Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Does anyone have any speed test with MAME on a PI4 emulating the Geneve? Overclocked? Beery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) https://www.mizapf.de/en/ti99/mame/mamereq In short: Will not fully suffice, but if you don't mind some stuttering sounds and that the emulation is slower than the real iron, you can use it. Still, I would not recommend it. Aren't you glad that your PC could make use of its mostly unused power? I suppose you don't enjoy watching your Raspi suffering.

Is that a fair estimate to expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mizapf Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 (edited) The more reliable calculation is the raw performance (without graphic output), where the 84% would possibly raise up to 112%. You'd have a 12% buffer to spend on graphic output. Could be OK. I'd be interested in your numbers and add them to my table.

Sid1968 Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) Actually we use Raspbian Buster for our project. I inform you about that with the latest firmware version from Commitnumber 4e0af7eb74aad67ad0e219f9ec5e975e84362100 from May 12th 2020 by Raspbian Buster NO audiodevice can be found. I have described the problem here: https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/issues/224 As long as we cannot use a newer Linux version, we should use the commit number 8d64ec7016906fb1f2bbe937dd7401705c5acf33 from May 1st, 2020. This also counts as a troubleshooting if you have already installed a newer firmware. A firmware update (or troubleshooting) is now done as follows: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove && sudo apt autoclean sudo rpi-update 8d64ec7016906fb1f2bbe937dd7401705c5acf33 sudo rpi-eeprom-update -a sudo reboot After that, firmware updates should no longer be carried out until we will use a newer Linux Version.

If you have activated SSH as described above, you can not only connect to the Raspberry Pi 4 with "putty" via SSH, but also with the (S)FTP client "Filezilla" via SFTP. This is not only easier, but also more secure than the FTP solution. No extra ftp-server must be installed! ?

+mizapf Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 And the sshd allows using scp (secure copy), part of the putty package in Windows, and a command in Linux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Cooler performed very well in tests. https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07ZDN6LSR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The fan can be operated, by changing the connection of the cable on the Raspberry Pi 4, in high-speed or low-speed mode. If it runs, like me, in low-speed mode, it is practically inaudible. I am very happy with it.

Cheers Sid Here is a better way to solve the audioissue. In order to basically restore the previous, working state of the audio processing, the file "cmdline.txt" must be edited. To do this, remove your SD card from the Raspberry Pi4, insert it into a card reader and open the file "cmdline.txt" with a text editor. Now add this line to the end of the existing line: snd_bcm2835.enable_hdmi = 1 snd_bcm2835.enable_headphones = 1 snd_bcm2835.enable_compat_alsa = 1 This method has the advantage that updates and new firmware can be imported again at will because the audio settings changed in this way in "cmdline.txt" apply to the entire Linux level regardless of changes due to updates and new firmware.

+mizapf Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I re-read this thread, and I admit I don't know what the main point is. - MAME provably runs on my RPi4 - You asked for framebuffer support, but I found that this support was dropped long ago - You said that you'd go for a desktop solution now - In the above post you referred to an issue with the sound output after a firmware update and the Raspbian Buster. This is obviously outside of MAME. I did not know that you are waiting for an action from me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+arcadeshopper Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 so to clarify.. you are asking the author of the mame ti emulation to make you a menu you could write in bash or python in about 30 seconds? perhaps you just need to google "how do i write a bash script" "how do i make a menu in linux" Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you are wrong that I can do it, and certainly not in 30 seconds. So far I have not been able to start mame with the previous parameters. I got only errormessages. That's why I started this thread. I did what I can to help resolve it. I am not just asking mizapf, but everyone who can create a menu as described in the first thread. It should be in the interest of the TI community to run an emulator on a Linux platform like the Raspberry Pi that is easy for EVERYONE to install. That is the goal of this thread.
