Hacking Ubuntu VM with Pegaswitch Libtransistor and RetroArch PreConfigured

[Anfroid]

Thank you. Worked perfectly for me, @yardie are you gonna update it with vgmoose's fork for the attached joycons? or just a guide for others to do it.

People can use git to download whatever fork of retroarch they want

All you have to do is

go to your home folder then

git clone https://github.com/vgmoose/RetroArch.git RetroArch_vgmoose

it will create a folder called RetroArch_vgmoose

copy the libretro_switch.a file from the original RetroArch folder into the RetroArch_vgmoose folder

create a folder called fs in RetroArch_vgmoose folder and put your rom in there

then run these commands after opening up terminal in the RetroArch_vgmoose folder

make -f Makefile.switch clean
make LLVM_POSTFIX=-5.0 -f Makefile.switch LIBTRANSISTOR_HOME=/home/unix/libtransistor

then youll get your nro file from the vgmoose fork

Worked perfectly. Again Thanks for your contributions.

Well, I tested with much roms, and all of them are crashing with error. WTF, I thought that euro versions of roms for snes are identical everywhere, i cant launch every rom I tried...

Which retroarch are you using? Vmgoose's?

 

[Greg956]

Which retroarch are you using? Vmgoose's?

Normal, and Vmgoose's too. Compiling, everything is good, recieve new .nro, then launching, see my roms and after launch crashing. Yours retroarch in VM was launching, and game too. But my roms are not working.

you probably need to update libtransistor
or just rebuild everything from scratch

im writing a script that rebuilds the environment from scratch with updated sources

Such script would be great. So, why update? I am using yours yesterdays image...

because retroarch source got updated yesterday, so maybe youre using the outdated one

i was having the same issue and i updated everything and it worked

Got this error when running ace.nro, can you help me ?

EDIT : Fixed

I added 2 scripts to the OP

The first script:
builds libtransistor
builds the snes9x2010 file
downloads retroarch
creates the fs folder
and copy the snes9x2010 file to the RetroArch folder

The second script (buildsnes9x.sh)
Builds retroarch_switch.nro after prompting you to place your ROMs in the Retroarch/fs folder

 

[Greg956]

Yardie. thank you so much! I tried normal Retroarch, and VGmoose (for the feature of quitting after game, and launching next). All is working!
Super Mario Kart, Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2, and russian version of Zelda Link to the Past.

Some distros will need llvm and stuff installed

sudo apt-get install clang-5.0

line added should fix any issues with clean Ubuntu, for example

Ok, got it now, sorry (:

 

[yardie]

BTW, my built nro's just load retroarch menu

Secrets of mana nro from other thread loads a game

What can be wrong?

The retroarch menu is normal. You have to put your rom in the fs folder and build it. Load the game from the retro arch menu

I did put it and all. Found it in menus
But all examples I tried before - it got straight to game, so I was confused
Thank you!

EDIT : Fixed

How did you fix it?

I got Retroarch to load once, then it crashed. But now every time I try to load something, my switch crashes with the 2168-0002 error. Anyone know a way to fix that?

(I'm on bridge network and I get the feeling that the vm is conneted in ethernet but my laptop is in wifi
