EmuELEC v4.6

Please read the complete change-log before updating. A lot of the changes have been done to the base system. specially to the way the partitions are handled so you might need/want to do a clean install.

There is now a new tool for mounting systemd and external sources for ROMS
you can read more about it here: #980

EEROMS partition will only be created on SD cards bigger than 8gb. For detail explanation: #979
This also changes how the second partition is created, It is now 6GB (unless you use a 4GB sd card, then it will be 2GB) If you update from 4.5 or lower you will keep the 2GB STORAGE partition, but if you need your STORAGE partition to be bigger (6GB), then you will need to do a clean install on a SD card bigger than 8GB.

The System base is now from CoreELEC 20 and all emulators, cores and ports have been
updated to their most recent version at the time of this release.

Please note that due to lack of time, some devices have not been properly tested, if you find a bug or an issue, please don’t hesitate to let us know via Discord, the EmuELEC forum or opening an issue in github.

Thanks to the always supportive Patreons

EmuELEC v4.5 — Core/Emulator Update

This version is just an emulators and cores update, but it also has some small bug fixes.

Bug fixes

• Add 32-bit .info files for the libretro cores that need it, this fixes issues as save states not working.
• Fix audio stuttering in lzdoom again (#888)
• Fix an issue where gptokeyb would not kill emulators if hotkey was set to the select button
• Fixed a small issue with cloud sync if the configuration file was edited in windows

Core and emulator updates

While this looks like a small changelog, keep in mind this is mostly an update for most cores, ports and emulators (60+) have been updated to the latest commits on github, we tested them internally but as always we cannot test with all devices and with all games, so if you find issues please post them on the forum or discord, unless, if you are 100% sure it’s a reproducible bug then open a Github issue.

Special thanks!

I want to thank the Patreon/Github Sponsors supporters that have made working on EmuELEC possible (In no particular order).

Be sure to read https://rclone.org/remote_setup/#configuring-by-copying-the-config-file
Name your remote as EmuELEC_Remote and copy rclone.conf to /emuelec/configs/rclone/
finally create a folder named EmuELEC_Backup on your cloud service.

If you would like to use another name for the remote or backup folder you can create a file named
/emuelec/configs/rclone/ee_cloud_sync.cfg and add this to the file:

EE_SYNC_REMOTE="your_remote_name"
EE_SYNC_PATH="your_backup_folder"

Cloud backup and restore options are in
«Main Menu > EmuELEC Settings > Danger Zone > Cloud Backup Settings and Game Saves»

Note about «Set as bootgame»:
This will allow to select a single game to start at boot, useful for arcade systems or for handhelds if you have a favorite game and what to launch it on boot.
This game is launched by ES before it loads the game gamelists, so any stats recorded by ES will saved (e.g. times played, last played, etc)

Select the game and open the «Advance Game Options» and then set «Launch This Game At Startup» to «On»

• After the game is ended (via hotkey+start) normal boot will continue.
• Not all systems support this (e.g, ports).
• Any retroarch settings (shaders, filters, bezels, splash, etc) will be respected.
• To remove bootgame, select the game that is currently set to boot and set «Launch This Game At Startup» to «Off», or go into «System Settings > Developer > Stop Launching This Game At Startup»

New ee_fstype

Starting with 4.2 a new option for people that are having issues with the EEROMS partition is available, but it comes with a few warnings, please read carefully and decide if this is for you:

• To be able to use this option a fresh install is required
• Do not change anything if FAT32 works for you
• Use EXFAT instead of NTFS when possible
• If you use Linux EXT4 might be the best option for you!
• I repeat do not change anything if FAT32 works for you
• Keep in mind this is a very experimental feature (but it has been tried a lot with no issues, other than NTFS)
• If you insist in using NTFS please read the warning below

Instructions

If you would like to use FAT32 skip steps 2,3 and 4

1.- Flash the correct test image to your SD, it needs to be the .img.gz on a CLEAN sd, it will not work on update (.tar)
2.- Right after it is flashed open the first partition EMUELEC
3.- Create a file named ee_fstype (no extension!) on the root of the EMUELEC partition
4.- Open the file and type fat32 (default) exfat,ntfs or ext4 save it and close it
5.- Do whatever you do to the partition (dtb change, ee_default.txt, etc)
6.- Test

Keep in mind this is an experimental feature, only enable it if you would like to help testing it, please report any issues to the EmuELEC forum, Discord or Github

NTFS Filesystem warning

While I tried to do as much testing as possible with the new ee_fstype option, there still might be issues, NTFS is by far the most problematic so I suggest you first try fat32 or exfat, both will work on Windows computers and Macs. NTFS might have some issues with mounting the update folder, so please use it as a last resort.

This version includes a big change on how binaries and scripts are stored, basically to deal with the issue of people not reading how to properly update and since I am getting tired of answering the same question over and over again, lets just move all binaries and scripts to RO /usr/bin, this will force update all of these and make updating much simpler.

If you use custom scripts /emuelec/bin and /emuelec/lib are still in the path so you will have to deal with it accordingly.

All configurations regarding emuelec will still be handled in /emuelec/config

v4.0

Note: if this message was not here when you downloaded it, please download again, there was a small bug that was fixed regarding a script error.

Yes its finally here

The change log is HUGE so I am just going to focus on the most important parts (and the ones I can remember):

• EmuELEC is no longer 32bit, it has now moved to AARCH64 (With some small parts still being 32 bit, like PCSX_Rearmed and Parallel64)
• A brand new default theme made specifically for EmuELEC! Crystal! https://github.com/dm2912/Crystal
• For easy access with any computer a third partition (EEROMS) will now be created on the first boot as FAT32, which is where all the ROMS will be stored.
• Update folder is now located in EEROMS/.update in case you want to copy the update files directly, its also still accesible from the samba share
• S912 (Including most Pandora) will no longer be supported, if you have one of those 3.9 is the latest version
• Most save states are now in one folder (/storage/roms/savestates/[system] or EEROMS/savestates/[system]) I might have missed a few of the standalone emulators, but if you find any issues with that, please let me know, please make sure you move them there if you plan to keep using your old ones
• Introduced ee_defaults.txt 9358efe
• Switch all error messages and scripts to use TvTextViewer, also improve how these are displayed
• New emulator/cores added Dosbox-pure, Solarus, Tic-80, Mesen, DosBox-Staging, DosBox-X and others
• Dolphin has been added to the Amlogic-ng devices, but it is only really playable on S922x devices and gamepad stills needs to be set manually. Will fix this on v4.1
• Added many ports including Duke Nukem 3D, Sonic 1, 2 and CD, RigelEngine, Bermuda Syndrome, Hydra Castle Labyrinth and others. Keep in mind most of the ports still need the DATA as it is not included! (check Missing Bios in the Game Options)
• Better Bluetooth manager and connection in general also Keep Bluetooth pairings even if doing a full reset
• Most emulators and cores are updated
• Support for the Odroid-Go Super

As well as many, many other issues, bug fixes and additions I probably forgot! but you can check the (mostly) full change log here:
v3.9…EmuELEC:master

Very important note!

This version is NOT backwards compatible, meaning this release cannot be used to upgrade older versions! I know lots of people hate reinstalling, but due to the nature of the changes this is a MUST but now with the third partition you can copy the ROMS directly, faster and safer! no messing around with software that corrupts the data! be warned that if you do not do a clean install, you will have issues!

This version also includes a new auto update script that will hopefully make it easier than ever to update when new versions come out.

If you are new to EmuELEC please READ the WiKi at https://github.com/EmuELEC/EmuELEC/wiki BEFORE asking for any help. You can also join us in discord! https://discord.gg/cbgtJTu If you want to support EmuELEC please click on the «Support» button on top to find out how!

We have tried our best to test each and every aspect of EmuELEC but keep in mind we cannot test each and every game and setting, so I am sure you will find new and improved bugs and issues! so don’t hesitate to jump into discord to let us know, or open an issue right here in GitHub (but please follow the template!)

This is the last 32bit release of EmuELEC, this also concludes support for the S912 devices (including Pandora boxes) as there is no 64bit drivers for this SOC.

Starting from v4.0 EmuELEC will only be 64bits, this unfortunately means that you cannot upgrade from 3.9 to v4.0, so a clean install must be made, but you can do a backup of your roms and settings and copy them over to v4.0 if you like but this has to be done manually.

This release is mostly bug fixes:

• Emuelec-Emulationstation: Bump to dbb576d
• Retroarch: Fix crash with CHD + Cheevos
• Odroid N2+ :Fix reboot after danger zone reset
• Add Pico-8 Support
• Rename n64.rmp to Mupen64Plus-Next.rmp and Fix remapping loading
• Disable digital to analog on ParaLLEl N64 too
• es-theme-EmuELEC-carbon: Bump to ca062ff
• Fix DOOM location (#308)
• Fix killall triggering crash detection (#303)
• fix ee_backup
• OdroidGoAdvance: FIX RGA scaling not covering the whole screen
• Other small changes and fixes.

EmuELEC v3.8

Due to some confusion I removed the v11 from the OdroidGoAdvance name, since the image works on both v1.0 and v1.1, this should not affect functionality at all.

As a reminder, starting with v4 there will be no more 32bit releases, only ARM64 and upgrading from one to the other is not possible.

BEFORE OPENING AN ISSUE OR ASKING FOR HELP I BEG YOU TO CHECK THE WIKI! IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO RESPOND TO THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHEN THE ANSWER IS ALREADY ON THE WIKI! https://github.com/EmuELEC/EmuELEC/wiki
