GameShell ships with preinstalled RetroArch. Instructions how to install it and configure you can find there https://github.com/clockworkpi/GameShellDocs/wiki/Update-RetroArch
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You have 2 options if you want to emulate some system:
|
||||||
|
- use RetroArch with core (some systems also needs BIOS file) for that system
|
||||||
|
- standalone emulator of that system
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## RetroArch vs Standalone emulator?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Seems standalone emulator can be more performant
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## How to add new core to RetroArch?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Basically all you need is a `action.config` file with a link to the games folder and core to use for that games.

## Where to get RetroArch Cores?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- From here: http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armv7-neon-hf/latest/
|
||||||
|
- Or build it yourself: https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/retroarch-megathread/716/226

## Where to find BIOS for specific system?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Google knows better)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`SCPH1001.bin` BIOS file works nice for PS1.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By default for RetroArch BIOS should be placed in the same directory where games for specific system are located.
|
||||||
|
You can change BIOS folder `RetroArch -> Settings -> Directory -> System/BIOS`

## Emulators:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### NES (NESTOPIA)
|
||||||
|
It's preinstalled with GameShell. Original `action.config`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ROM=/home/cpi/games/NESTOPIA
|
||||||
|
ROM_SO=/home/cpi/apps/emulators/nestopia_libretro.so
|
||||||
|
EXT=zip,nes
|
||||||
|
LAUNCHER=retroarch -L

|

|
|

### SNES

||||||
|

|
||||||

ROM_SO=/home/cpi/apps/emulators/snes9x2010_libretro.so

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### Game Boy/Game Boy Color/Game Boy Advance
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's preinstalled with GameShell. But this seems faster:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ROM=/home/cpi/games/MGBA
|
||||||
|
ROM_SO=/home/cpi/apps/emulators/mgba_libretro.so
|
||||||
|
EXT=gb,gbc,gba,gbx
|
||||||
|
LAUNCHER=retroarch -L
|
||||||

TITLE=MGBA Roms
|
||||||
|
SO_URL=http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armv7-neon-hf/latest/mgba_libretro.so.zip
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
_Looks like some games may require BIOS. But I'm not shure_
|
||||||
|
|

|
||||||
|
### PlayStation One
|
||||||
|
**option 1:**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
GameShell has preinstalled PCSX. But you need a BIOS file `SCPH1001.bin` (extensions in lower case! not .BIN) and place it there `/home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/20_Retro\ Games/Pcsx/bios/SCPH1001.bin`
|
||||||
|
Forum thread: https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/pcsx-rearmed-for-gameshell/436/15
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**option 2 (RetroArch):**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. Place your games in folder `/home/cpi/games/ps1` (place BIOS in this folder too).
|
||||||
|
2. Create `action.config` file inside `/home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/20_Retro\ Games/30_ps1/` folder
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ROM=/home/cpi/games/ps1
|
||||||
|
ROM_SO=/home/cpi/apps/emulators/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so
|
||||||
|
EXT=cue,img,mdf,pbp,toc,cbn,m3u
|
||||||
|
LAUNCHER=retroarch -L
|
||||||
|
TITLE=PS one
|
||||||
|
SO_URL=http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armv7-neon-hf/latest/pcsx_rearmed_libretro.so.zip
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
### SEGA Mega drive/GENESIS
|
||||||
|
**option 1 (PicoDrive):**
|
||||||
|
Instruction https://forum.clockworkpi.com/t/picodrive-standalone-and-libretro-core-mega-drive-emulator/2331/18
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also add file `/home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/20_Retro\ Games/20_SEGA-MGD/action.config` to run games from GameShell menu:
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ROM=/home/cpi/games/SEGA-MGD
|
||||||
|
ROM_SO=
|
||||||
|
EXT=7z,bin,gen,md,smd,zip
|
||||||
|
LAUNCHER=/home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/PicoDrive/PicoDrive
|
||||||
|
TITLE=SEGA-MGD
|
||||||
|
SO_URL=
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
So `PicoDrive` should be inside this folder `/home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/PicoDrive` and your SEGA games inside `/home/cpi/games/SEGA-MGD`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**option 2 (RetroArch):**
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`picodrive_libretr.so` core is fastest but it didn't work for me, but you can try it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`genesis_plus_gx_libretro.so` works fine (but I had some lags)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
ROM=/home/cpi/games/SEGA-MGD
|
||||||
|
ROM_SO=/home/cpi/apps/emulators/genesis_plus_gx_libretro.so
|
||||||
|
EXT=7z,bin,gen,md,smd,zip
|
||||||
|
LAUNCHER=retroarch -L
|
||||||
|
TITLE=SEGA-MGD
|
||||||
|
SO_URL=http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armv7-neon-hf/latest/genesis_plus_gx_libretro.so.zip
|
||||||
|
```
