Package Overview

EDIT 14/09/20 updated link

(table moved, see below, quick link: https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/RetroRig/wiki/Building-Software-Packages-%28Ubuntu%29)

[beaumanvienna]

The table is intended as wiki, please review & revise it!

[mdeguzis]

Wow, how did you make that table grid in markdown on git , nice. Good work. I might have to get to some other house chores for a bit after I do a little bit of work. We can always include this on the wiki itself. Nice.

[mdeguzis]

Ok, worked it into this wiki page: https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/RetroRig/wiki/Individual-Components

[beaumanvienna]

Yeah, that's better. Thanks!

[beaumanvienna]

I've reopened this thread to inform about and discuss changes in the application matrix.

What about qjoypad? Are we going to package it? Or is going to be canceld? I've added it to the table for now, assuming it needs packaging.

[beaumanvienna]

@ProfessorKaos64 , I'm not sure if we have listed all applications in https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/RetroRig/wiki/Individual-Components#packaging-status-table. Could you please review the table one more time? Thanks!

[mdeguzis]

Sure, I'll take a look at it this morning. NP

I updated the table entries for PCSX2 (dual-head support ok) and antimicro (packaged with version 2.5.20140905.0).

My highest priority issue switches now to packaging the supplemental files for mupen64plus. Hopefully I can get the rice plugin working (#94 "Mupen64plus fails to full screen with Rice Video plugin")!

[mdeguzis]

If Rice worked, I would seriously be very very thankfuly. That is a thorn
in the side of many a Ubuntu derived users. It never worked after a while.

There's a new Rice plugin online here. You can give it a try. (Needs manually install)

[mdeguzis]

JC, is there a package I need to install this? What steps did you take?

sudo dpkg -i /home/test/mupen64plus-video-rice_2.0.0.0_amd64.deb

Hi Professor! Just update all mupen64plus packages, then it should be fine. Package mupen64plus-config-abi-2.3 is a virtual package. It can't be downloaded or installed. It's created by libmupen64plus:
https://github.com/ProfessorKaos64/RetroRig/blob/Ubuntu-14.04-Beta/supplemental/mupen64plus-core/control#L34
When I posted the comment to install the Rice plugin manually, I didn't know that it now depends on abi-2.3, not 2.2 anymore. That's why I had to rebuild mupen64plus-core with version 2:2.0.1.1: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/184175492/mupen64plus-core_2%3A2.0.1.0_2%3A2.0.1.1.diff.gz

When it comes to the issue we have with rice, I think this is a general problem under Linux, not Ubuntu specific. All ten plugins uploaded to the PPA yesterday are compiled from the latest source code. The core package we have forked hasn't changed upstream, so it's just the one change about keeping display resolution when fullscreening: https://github.com/beaumanvienna/mupen64plus-core/compare/patchlevel-1
If you disable the fullscreen option, the window it starts in will have the size of your monitor. That's because of the auto resolution function. So that's almost like fullscreen, except that the unity title bar is visible. What I noticed is: Firstly, Rice still has some artifacts. For Snowboard1080 that where upright stripes. Secondly, it doesn't look any better then glide64mk. I've watched the whole animated downhill trailer, there's no difference. Or I'm blind!

[mdeguzis]

yep, still broke in fullscreen. My reasoning for Rice, is the options. Did
you checkout the mupen config file under the rice video options? there are
tons of scaling options and more, maybe that would make it look better.
Other than that, yep we can stick with mk2. Now with mk2, did the image
stretch properly? I player Mario Party on my tv with my family yesterday
and it was 4:3, which is fine, just curious if you have the same.

[beaumanvienna]

Yes, affirmative. It's not really fullscreening, but with borders on the left and right, probably 4:3.

[mdeguzis]

I try to keep games in the original aspect ratio. I found in the plugin options where you could stretch it if you want. I personally use Glide64, unless it messes up enough :)

[mdeguzis]

I'll update the table after beta merges to master.
