RetroPie setup on UbuntuTouch

bearbobs

Today i tried setting up emulationstation and retorarch on Fairphone 4 running UbuntuTouch 20.04 OTA-5

Everything is setup inside libertine

Working:

NES,SNES,GB,GBA and also N64 but laggy
USB Gamepad

Not working:

audio as i am launching emulationstation and games in libertine fakeroot and pulseaudio is only available in userspace

some pictures for setup in action-

if there is interest i can try making a click package

yesterday, there was mentioned package gtick in chat that should enable sound from libretine, you may want to try it

@uxes audio is not working when i use fakeroot and due to some reason emulator crash in normal user mode.
Normal user mode audio is fine

Of course there will be lot of interest for such an app on the open store

Perhaps they have a snap version? Or maybe they can be packaged as click and run on Wayland
Not sure how much effort that would be though. Someone persevered and got Supertux to work again so maybe with enough will?

bearbobs

@kugiigi there is no snap, can you share any relevant documentation on how to make a click package, i can try

kugiigi

@bearbobs You use the tool called clickable. I only rely on that and doesn't really know much about packaging and building stuffs so that's all help I can give
Like I said, someone got Supertux working again so perhaps you can do too. I don't have the repo of it though.

@bearbobs did you ever get to make this a click?....audio is out of the box with permission should be bake to enable USB as well.....I'm struggling to open roms externally so I slapped them all in the app for the nes....while I wont/cant do this with this.....I'm all about making it a clickable....does it have built in touch support?..if not maybe I can add that....the nes I'm doing was originally not touch also added maooers and imroved the audio....needs tons of work.....but if I ca do the same with yours would be better
