I'd recommend using lightdm+openbox in auto login mode for the bare minimum without having to install a full blown desktop. The pi 4 needs to use some form of desktop and window manager as I said before. I'm pleased to report I've managed to get retropie working in the pi 4 with almost full fps however there were several things I had to mess with just to get it functional. You can see some of my open PRs that are refining fkms support for some packages already, but even this is of limited use, because I can only test against RPI3, and inevitably there will be need for resolving issues related to the new processor revision, etc.

People are working on the issue, but patience is needed.

We're working on it, but very few of us are set up with a Pi 4 yet, not to mention that we also need to prioritize fixing general issues caused by the buster upgrade, as well as the breakage caused from the latest firmware packages breaking composite for the 4.5 release, etc.

Yes, dispmanx + GLES is no longer a working combination, and that's why we're reconfiguring mesa software builds as generic GLES2 + KMS targets.

Disabling the fkms driver (by enabling dtoverlay=vc4-kms-v3d) will break those features, and I'm fairly sure that I've seen it mentioned that this overlay configuration isn't even possible on RPI4. The "fake" part of the driver is what allows us to keep using legacy dispmanx software that only needs software rendering, as well as tvservice, omx accelerated codecs via omxplayer, etc. I can investigate if you want (although, the emulationstation crashes are sporadic and hard to reproduce, not sure what you mean by disabling dispmanx the vc4-kms-v3d overlay uses a dispmanx context to expose the open graphics driver through KMS. You then can type emulationstation and it will work.Debian/patches/0001-ARM-Create-configure-option-enable-arm-simd-to-gover.patchĭebian/patches/0002-ARM-SIMD-assembly-optimization-for-function-BlitRGBt.patchĭebian/patches/0003-ARM-SIMD-assembly-optimization-for-function-BlitARGB.patchĭebian/patches/0004-SDL_blit-use-a-named-enum-for-required-hardware-feat.patchĭebian/patches/0005-ARM-SIMD-assembly-optimization-for-BGR-to-RGB-32bpp-.patchĭebian/patches/0006-ARM-assembly-optimization-for-SDL_FillRect.patchĭebian/patches/0007-ARM-SIMD-optimization-for-4-4-4-4-to-8-8-8-8-normal-.patchĭebian/patches/0008-ARM-Create-configure-option-enable-arm-neon-to-gover.patchĭebian/patches/0009-ARM-NEON-assembly-optimization-for-function-BlitRGBt.patchĭebian/patches/0010-ARM-NEON-assembly-optimization-for-function-BlitARGB.patchĭebian/patches/0011-ARM-NEON-assembly-optimization-for-SDL_FillRect.patchĭebian/patches/fix-cross-building-907711.patchĪlthough they seem to be mostly optimizations, perhaps it might be worthwhile to test with these changes included. You will then see a command line prompt (it will kinda look like a big terminal window is covering the entire screen). Click on it and you will get a selection menu. To stop the desktop session go to the menu button with the Raspberry Pi logo (it should be in the top left corner) click on that and go to the bottom of the drop down menu. LXDE stands for Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. Emulationstation can't run when you have a desktop session going. When it says X is running that means that you are running a desktop session. Usually a google search will work though.Ībout your problem. Okay first off I am not allowed to talk about where you can find roms. I wont lie, I have no idea what this means

Please shut down X in order to mitigate problems with losing keyboard input. Ryno4 wrote:I've completed all of the steps and got to the emulation stage.Īny idea of a good place to get the roms?Īlso, when typing emulationstation, i get this $ emulationstation
