Are cheats working on this?

Update your system ? Update your Python ?

I honestly have no idea of what's causing this...

I updated my system, but the same error seems to still happen. I do notice that the script is trying to build a version of python, and it seems to want to use that built version over the operating system one. Is that normal?

I can also give a pastebin link to the entire log if you would like to see it.

Edit: I noticed that this issue happens with the stock Lakka repo also, I am going to ask there instead and see if I can get to the bottom of this.

Will lakka support amiga core (P-UAE)?
Really would love an Amiga emulator on Switch.

it's probably building it for the lakka image. it is linux, after all...

I've never used fidora, but did you update both with apt-get AND pacman? dkp-pacman even?

The core doesn't build. I need to fix it.

It's building it both for Lakka (target) and the host PC because some packages use Python scripts when building.

what is needed for emulators such as dolphin to run a little better fps wise ? Is someone working on it btw?

That's not a good thing at all. It should be listed as a dependency requirement, but definitely NOT installed on the host. The very LEAST problem is the build will fail for most if you don't use sudo. "sudo make" is rarely appropriate. Building and installing libs to your environment, being one of only 2 exceptions for that.

It's not installed on the host, it's installed locally in the Lakka toolchain.

Fedora uses dnf (or yum if you are on an old version). Also, I am pretty sure that Lakka doesn't use anything from devkitPro, or at least doesn't require you to have it installed.

Ok. It must be downloading the compiled cores from somewhere then.

 

[natinusala]

It builds them using the aarch64-libreelec-something toolchain

Hey guys, i am totally just getting into switch homebrew now, is this a native OS homebrew? Im assuming not as it seems to run through linux on switch correct?

If so, whats the best native switch OS emulator/s? Specifically snes/nes/megadrive?

You're right about this running on linux, not the base OS. I use RetroNX for everything, but there is also a few separate projects: pSNES, LaiNES, and pFBA (for megadrive).

Thanks ill search up RetroNX! How is the performance overall??

 

[hellionz]

i preffer use genesis retronx core for megadrive....i dont like pfba for anything that not be FBA

retronx with bilineal es wonderful....and its on early develop stage......so promising

Lakka is interesting too, but i will wait after sound will be well implemented

Greetings

Performance is pretty much perfect for anything earlier than PSX. PSX runs pretty good (85%+ speed) for most 3D games. Most PSX 2D games run full speed.

With the help of gouchi, I figured out what the problem was! In a nutshell, if you are trying to compile an old version of python with GCC 8, the program will likely crash from a segmentation fault. This was fixed on 2.7.15 release, but Lakka uses an older version of python. If you were using an older distro, like Ubuntu 16.04, you would not experience this problem.

So I had to manually include this commit to continue the building.

 

[natinusala]

Could you add that as a patch and upstream that in Lakka ? Assuming it doesn't break GCC < 8
