Fix for missing x64dtv binary !!!
(last time i worked with batoc... and there it is included)

Please copy the binary to /usr/bin and set attributes to 0755.

@Ratte Ok i copy the binary with 0755 fileattributes but don't work again... maybe i need others files ?
Anyone have try it ?

[Ratte]

Thanks for the feedback. I must do a testrun with my old pi.
There is currently no support for the rpi3bplus, that i am actually using.
I have to make no secret of the fact that I use Batocera for the rpi3b+.
The version supports my newer hardware (rpi3b+) and has all binaries integrated.
Since the versions are related, I thought that the required binaries are not missing here.

OK, found this ...

Going to dig in the stuff this evening.

[Secamfr]

@Ratte Ok thank you, i'm waiting for the new fix

[Ratte]

@secamfr OK, I found the problem.
On my test image it is now up and running.
There are more differences between recalbox "buildroot" and recalbox "batocera" than i expected.
I will send you a privat link for a testarchive, i dont want to make the same mistake again.
Are you willing to do such a testrun?

UPDATED USER-ARCHIV (12.MAY`18)
https://www48.zippyshare.com/v/2v6HQtDP/file.html

New install instructions:

-=# WinSCP + PuTTY - howto (fresh installed RB 18.04.20) #=-

PuTTY (login "recalboxroot" or "linux" on batocera):
01.) /etc/init.d/S31emulationstation stop
02.) mount -o remount,rw /

WinSCP:
03.) copy the c64dtv directory from the addon-archiv

• C:.. ..\dtv64-addon\etc\emulationstation\themes\recalbox-next

to recalbox

• /etc/emulationstation/themes/recalbox-next

If you prefer the old theme or you are using batocera-linux, take
themes/recalbox instead

04.) walktrough the new subdirectory and make all fileattributes 0755

05.) open the textfile from the archiv

• C:.. ..\dtv64-addon\etc\emulationstation\add2_es_systems.cfg.txt

mark the complete text and copy&paste it in the recalbox-config at

• /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg

in the line after <systemList>
save the changed configfile

At this point we created a new menu entry for the dtv64 system!
(currently there is no graphic visible in the next-theme, only the logo-text .. i am workin on it)
Now we are going on with adding the files:

06.) copy the c64dtv directory from the addon-archiv

• C:.. ..\dtv64-addon\recalbox\share\roms
  to recalbox
• /recalbox/share/roms

07.) copy the x64dtv binary and the scripts subdirectory from

• C:.. ..\dtv64-addon\usr\bin
  to recalbox
• /usr/bin

08.) walktrough the new subdirectory and make all fileattributes 0755
same for the x64dtv binary

09.) copy the required libraries and vice subdirectory from

• C:.. ..\dtv64-addon\usr\lib
  to recalbox
• /usr/lib

10.) walktrough the new subdirectory and make all fileattributes 0755
same for the libncurses.so.6.0 & libreadline.so.7.0 binaries

PuTTY:
11.) jump to the /usr/lib subdirectory with

• cd /usr/lib

12.) build the required vice links for the new libraries with

• ln -f -b -s libncurses.so.6.0 libncurses.so.6
• ln -f -b -s libreadline.so.7.0 libreadline.so.7

13.) all operations are done, restart the system with

• reboot

(required extra step for BATOCERA ONLY!!)
batocera-users MUST save the overlay before rebooting with

• /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-save-overlay.sh

Now it should be up and running ...

@Ratte Great job, now we have more commodore on recalbox !

[Ratte]

No more opinions?
So I produced a piece of crap.

[Gaetan]

@ratte it's really interesting even though I can't try it right now.
Maybe you should tag some moderators in your comment to give a signal

[Gaetan]

@Ratte , @Secamfr do you think those addons could be integrate in Recalbox ?

[Ratte]

I don't mind. It depends on the recalbox staff.

[Gaetan]

I don't know who to contact, but maybe @Substring does ?

[RustyMG]

Wow I might get to play all of Jeff Minters Vic 20 classics again !
I hope this gets integrated into the build - fantastic work everyone

[Substring]

We don't add binaries. We need source code.
