Where can I find offical developer support?

That's me dude. I'm one of the developpers. Depending on what you're trying to achieve, there is a wiki for compilation basics. The next big thing is understanding buildroot as we don't add pre-compiled binaries.

@ Substring
Before I start with things like compiling and buildroot i would like to understand the internal workflow of recalbox.
Right now i start the emulator with the following command:
<Command> ./ usr / bin / uae4arm / scripts / start.sh% ROM% </ command>

All other emulators are started by:
<Command> python /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/configgen/emulatorlauncher.pyc% CONTROLLERSCONFIG% -system% SYSTEM% -rom% ROM% -emulator% EMULATOR% -core% CORE% -ratio% RATIO% </ Command>

Is there any description or document how to add an emulator in the right way?

Thanks in advance.

@Ratte yo gotta learn python ... but as i'm the one who mostly works on configgen, consider yourself a lucky man ^^

There is no doc, it's not such a big tool. The easiest is to read a generator, understand that we generally have 3 files for a generator :

• the generator itself which drives the wole configuration + launch of the emulator
• sometimes a controller file that handles controls configuration
• sometimes a config file to handle general configuration of the emulator

Next is to edit emulatorlauncher.py :

• add the dependencies (all the import sutff)
• Add a Emulator['amiga'] default line

Don't forget to add the necessary files in the setup.py.

The only step-by-step i could recommend you for now is :

• create a uae folder in generators
• find a small xxxGenerator.py, copy it over, rename functions/methods as well as the file, and just add a hard coded launch command
• add the necessary lines in emulatorlauncher.py
• add the necessary lines in setup.py
• copy over to the pi, regen the setup
• learn to manually start configgen rather than by ES

configgen is half of the job, the other half (the package) is a whole different story. I made the necessary packages for uae4arm-rpi, i guess they could be a good start depending on the dependencies of the emulator you wish to add.

@Ratte

Ich habe mich mal an dem Theme versucht...

Hier zum Download: http://bit.ly/2nAFaeP

The link is dead.

@derschatten see the other thread it's still alive there

[DerSchatten]

what other thread do you mean?
The AMIGA CD32 EMULATION - HOW TO - ? There is no link to this svg inside.

[voljega]

@derschatten oh sorry i thought you were speaking about the full emulated solution

[DerSchatten]

nothing??? Nichts? Gaaar nichts?

Hi, ok voljega I tried your "amiga solution" and it's great. But there is only one problem I have... Buttons and directions on my Arcade pad doesn't work. the only one key that works is "square" (or X in xbox controller) which quits emulator. The keyboard and mouse is working fine. What can I do with it?

edited: I forgot I have uae4arm gui, but when I select the correct stick and save config it doesnt save, I have to set all again at start each time. Hmm maybe I will try to exchange saved config with the default one...

[ejr]

I cant edit my post above... so edited2: I just configured everything in the gui using mouse and keyboard then saved configuration. Then I moved saved configuration to the main folder and renamed it as default one and then I ran genUAE script for all my games and it now works great
