Test RK3399 and SD845, as well as test on RPiOS

[hadcl4]

Here's what I am capable of doing:

• Testing RK3399 (haven't had a chance yet to test Thunder)
• Testing on RPiOS (haven't had the time to yet)

Here's what I'll need other users to do:

• Test SD845

Complete list of tasks:

• Get Thunder working on RPiOS
• Get Thunder working on RK3399
• Get Thunder working on SD845
• Get Emulators working on RPiOS
• Get Emulators working on RK3399
• Get Emulators working on SD845

[hadcl4]

Finally got a chance to test on RPiOS today (in Buster arm64, using vdesktop). Thunder itself works fine, however a lot doesn't work. But because this was using a beta version of RPiOS in Vdesktop I won't consider RPiOS incompatible, just I'll need to test on non-beta RPiOS natively.

[hadcl4]

Just fixed a bug found while testing in RPiOS, should fix a bug when people try to startup Thunder after installation.

[hadcl4]

Pushed some commits that should get Thunder working on RPiOS better, so will test again soon.

[hadcl4]

Rats, RPiOS Buster doesn't have a new enough GLIBC to run mGBA.

And the other emulators require more libs, too, that I don't have room for in my virtual machine. I guess I'll just have to boot up a full native install of Bullseye ARM64...

[hadcl4]

Thunder itself works now though, so at least that.

[hadcl4]

Added a separate task list for emulators.

[hadcl4]

Tested Thunder on RK3399, once again it works fine out of the box.

However, other than Mednafen, emulators don't work.

[hadcl4]

Almost got mGBA working on RK3399, but this time SDL is in the way. My guess is I don't have a new enough SDL installed on my RK3399, as other than that mGBA doesn't spit out any more errors.

[hadcl4]

Other than mGBA, I almost have all the emulators included with Thunder working on RK3399 (the Mesa update in Thunder is part of getting them working, actually)!

Also the mGBA build not working on RK3399 isn't a Thunder problem, as compiling mGBA manually on my RK3399 doesn't work either.

[hadcl4]

Nearly have PCSX Reloaded working on RK3399 and RPiOS...

[hadcl4]

melonDS_Pi: working

[hadcl4]

mGBA: not working

[hadcl4]

Dolphin: working (using custom mesa)

[hadcl4]

Box86 and Box64: not working due to GLIBC

[hadcl4]

Mednafen: working

[hadcl4]

PPSSPP: not working, due to a lib named libSM.so.6 missing

[hadcl4]

PPSSPP Update: Now working, thanks to commit f4d7bd9!

[hadcl4]

Okay, so that leaves the following emulators left not working:

• mGBA
• PCSXR
• Box86 and Box64

Box86 and Box64 I'm planning to compile on RK3399 soon, to get them compatible. PCSXR is missing a lib: libgtk-3.so. I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with mGBA, since compiling it manually fails as well. Soon I'll try compiling mGBA again, to see if I get anywhere.

[hadcl4]

Didn't work to compile mGBA again, although I think I found the problem: libsdl2-dev isn't installable on my RockPi's distro (TwisterOS Armbian) very easily. After looking through the mGBA issues list, it seems this package is a requirement to compile mGBA on Debian-based distros. So I might end up having to compile SDL manually...

As for PCSXR, I tried doing my idea of sticking in libgtk-3.so, but failed.

So I'm not exactly sure what to do with these 2 emulators right now.

[hadcl4]

Somewhat closer to getting PCSXR working, libgtk-3.so is now included in commit 3f7d8f5. However, now PCSXR is telling me libXtst.so.6 is missing, so back to searching through different repos...

[hadcl4]

Got libXtst.so.6 included, but now I'm running into trouble with GTK modules missing. It looks like PCSXR needs a GTK module called appmenu-gtk-module, so I'll have to go looking around for that now...

[hadcl4]

Extremely close to getting PCSXR working! The appmenu-gtk-module is now included, but PCSXR still spits out an error that I'm not sure how to fix:

** (pcsxr:4489): WARNING **: 11:04:01.738: Error: interface could not be loaded!

[hadcl4]

Just tested all the emulators after they were modified so much, and on my Raspberry Pi 4 they all work still. So at least I didn't break anything.

[hadcl4]

Going to take a little break from trying to get these emulators working, instead I'm going to work on getting Flatpaks working in Thunder. I should be back to working on emulators soon, though.

[hadcl4]

Extremely close to getting all emulators working on RK3399. Box86 and Box64 are both now working, so that leaves just mGBA and PCSXR left!

[hadcl4]

PCSXR is also now working on RK3399, so that just leaves mGBA left!

[hadcl4]

I almost have mGBA working on all systems...but I made a mistake...

On RK3399 the build included right now works just fine on my RockPi 4B+. But that's because I had mGBA installed through apt then copied the binary into Thunder. On my Raspberry Pi 4 I discovered I forgot to include libmgba.so.7, so for now users will have to install mGBA manually. I'll fix it soon, though!

[hadcl4]

Finally all emulators are working on RK3399! Now next on the to-do list is to get them all working on RPiOS. I'll take a little break first, though...

[hadcl4]

Now working on getting emulators working on RPiOS...

Seems like they would all work on a standard install, but for testing I'm using Buster Lite. Anyway, just as note to self, here's the missing dependencies:

• libblutetooth.so.3 - Dolphin
• libpango-1.0.so.0 - PCSXR
• libSDL2-2.0.so.0 - PPSSPP
• libQt5Multimedia.so.5 - mGBA

Also as a note for a future commit:

• Move libgtk-3.so to libgtk-3.so.0!

[hadcl4]

After messing around a bit I think I'll add libQt5Multimedia.so.5 soon. On all the systems I've tested Thunder on this lib doesn't come preinstalled.
