I have already prepared the pull request, with the AM compilation in Buster, including Buster Lite, but I have two problems: |
|
Hi, I have the same exact same problem. No problem compiling like @ghost, but when it's time to start it, I have the same error : "* failed to add service - already in us?" I had the same error when compiling Retroarch on the Raspberry Pi 4. It seems to be a problem with version 1 of OpenGL (Gl1) which is not supported in the new GPU if I remember well. Just before compiling, one guy suggested to add flag(option) to disabled it from the make so the application is not trying to start it(causing the error we get). I don't know how to interpret this Attract-Mode, but I would like to get it working on my Raspberry Pi 4. This guy @karbinunit on Github was able to get us debugged by this command before compiling : CFLAGS='-mfpu=neon -mtune=cortex-a72 -march=armv8-a' ./configure --enable-alsa --enable-udev --enable-neon --disable-videocore --enable-opengles --enable-opengles3 --disable-opengl1 --enable-x11 Source is : https://gist.github.com/AlexMax/32e5d038a66ce57253e740ea75736805 I am not too sure if you can do something with that from here. If i find something, I'll let you know. |

Just saw Attract-Mode was updated to 2.6.0 @SUPER-DAN does it fix your issue? |
|
@kwyxz This is issue still occurs with 2.6.0 when compiling with the most recent raspbian updates. |
|
This error has disappeared with the latest code from git and raspian updates 👍 |
|
@mbirnie did you do anything specific? Following the documentation here - which means building sfml-pi and ffmpeg for mmal - I am still getting the error |
|
I did nothing specific. I am currently on the latest raspbian image with all the latest updates. This version of raspbian also has a libsfml-dev package that can be installed instead of building sfml locally. I cloned the attract mode git repository from Oct 29th and built with USE_GLES=1 |
|
Thanks, I had not thought about building using the Raspbian package for SMFL. I'll give it a try. |
|
@mbirnie can you please confirm you're running Attract-Mode with FKMS and not X11 because building the latest git rev using libsfml-dev from Raspbian and USE_GLES=1 I end up with |
|
I definitely don't think mbirnie got the compilation in the terms he told us. Either something is missing, or does not tell the truth. |
|
any update on if anyone was successful? |
|
Sorry, I've been busy starting my own business and have had little time for hobbies... I am using the FKMS overlay driver with X11. With the latest git commits, I got attract-mode to work when compiled with
|
|
If @mbirnie is using attract-mode he will do it under x11, because compiling as he says the message still comes out: |
|
I just added a page to the wiki with the build process I followed to get a working build in Buster. |
|
Yes, these were the steps I took to get it running on my Pi 4. |
... under X11, right? |
Unless SFML is patched, there's no way to use Attract on the Raspberry Pi 4 without X11. |
Try this -> https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Compiling-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-4-(Raspbian-Buster) |
|
@chase-cobb - When I follow your steps on a clean build of Raspian Buster, I get the error "Failed to open X11 Display". Is there something I should've done before trying to run it? |
Yes : install and run X11. |
|
NVM. I was using a terminal from my PC (so I could easily just copy ROMs across once it was installed). I decided I'd just try it straight on the machine (run > attract) and it works fine (so far). Now to install some emulators and ROMs and try it out. Cheers. :) EDIT - Out of interest, is it worth trying to install it on the latest RetroPie or is that a no go? And while I've got you, does lr-mame2003 run on Buster / RP? Thanks again. |
|
The buster guide works great to compile but attract will run only on desktop/x11 |
|
What do you mean by saying "through RetroPie" ? AM will not magically turn complicit with KMS. |
|
Hi @supremeretropie OK from what you posted last if their devs manage to make it run oven KMS then task will be accomplished. Ive already updated my auto install scritps for pi4. |
|
The main advantage of FKMS is that we can finally have shaders working on PI. This requires a serious rewrite of the SFML linux window/glcontext management functions. |
|
@supremeretropie ill reply quick as its not the place. since PB v1 Nov 2008 I have created an auto installation script for ppl to install AM and all extras. Now ive updated to include the latest pi4 devs advised. |
how do you install and run x11 |
Just google "install x11" but if you have already desktop on your pi4 probably you have it. |
OK, I did that, and it DOES compile, but I still get the X11 error, need to specify display. I am probably doing something stupid....I do have a proper attract.cfg and other files, as the X11 error is the only one I get (yes I am starting it via the autoshart.sh ). Thoughts? |
|
Did you start from clean retropie image? And erased previous develop folders if they existed especially sfml-pi onE etc
|
|
Yes, completely new Retropie image, as clean as it gets. Compiled sfml then attrack, all compile, and then used the installation options as specified above. Placed attract in the autoshart.sh and then reboot....it fails with: "Failed to open X11 display, make sure you specify DISPLAY variable...." Not sure what I am missing, and THANK YOU for your replies and help! |
|
That means you havent compiled with DRM and installed also same as compiled command (both need to havethe DRM) |
|
I SPECIFICALLY do this: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/attract attract and this flag for sfml...cmake .. -DSFML_DRM=1 Is this wrong? |
|
Or he is using compile instructions from earlier in the topic or has libsfml-dev installed from repos which might be another indicator he is using wrong compile instructions make sure libsfml is not installed from repo's, remove it using sudo apt-get statement if you added it |
|
Those seem correct but smfl-pi comes before installing attract and make sure libsfml-dev is not installe by apt and have you called sudo ldconfig after building sfml-pi |
|
Removing libsfml-dev did it!! THANK YOU! Attract mode is now running! (I guess the above instructions should be modified). This is what I used on a clean Retropie Image for the Rpi4: mkdir code (REMOVED DRM Helper, as stated, no longer needed!) THANK YOU again!!..on to scraping and configuring ROMs and emulators... |
- for this to work attract must be linked against the most recent version of sfml-pi i.e. later than: mickelson/sfml-pi@55ab6ae#diff-3793c0000e00da5abb7e50333fdc6ba0 - attract mode will now fully release its hold on the display when launching an emulator, eliminating the need for attract-drm-helper. - attract-drm-helper files have been removed from the repository and the executable should be removed from your system if you have it! - Issues: mickelson/sfml-pi#13 #576

Is the joypad input working? I have a new install going but I haven't tried attract-mode yet hoping for someone's answer? |
|
joypad input is working, i use joysticks myself. But you might need a keyboard attrached for intial setup |
|
It seems that there are still a few keyboards issues. With attract mode running, if I try to press a key to bring up the launch menu (so say we can change an emulator for a particular ROM etc) it only works if I press the ESC key. Also, once in that menu, keyboard navigation does NOT work...In addition, if say I exit attract mode, once back in the terminal, keyboard does not work again... Using the same keyboard (to rule out any issues) all works fine in emulation station, including all the menus etc...just not in attract mode. Keyboard works fine while IN attract mode, but seems to not work for menus etc...is anyone else seeing this? |
|
@cyborgcnc i can run the runcommand menu (which has nothing todo with attract at all) without problem pressing enter or esc. if launch images are shown i do have to press a key twice. But i think even on my pi3 in the past that only specific keys worked for it and not all. i can navigate the runcommand menu without problems using keyboard I'm not sure but it is possible console is also restored upon launching an emulator and if it that also does not happen with your setup (like when it does not happen when exiting attract) for some reason it might explain your behaviouir Please provide better instructions on how to reproduce as to when this is happening as it can not be reproduced with me with a quick test. Is your attract & sfml-pi latest versions ? it still seems to me restoring the console does not seem to work with you but i can not reproduce it |
|
Answers below...thanks again! Is your attract & sfml-pi latest versions ? did you start fresh from a clean image like really flashed the retropie pi 4 image on a card and started from there and not using some older images etc ? You run attract & immediatly exit attract -> is console locked (like accepting no input) ? if not you run a certain emu exit game exit attract -> is console locked ? if so tell us which emu and see if it's reproducable if it's with all emu's does not matter. how do you start attract ? what is your select button set to in attract ? Thank you for your help! |
|
@cyborgcnc does it happen with other emulators also so startup run 1 game from other emulator and exit attract? i jus tried the same with advmame but the problem did not occur with me so really not sure what is going on in your case |
|
Just also tried it with mame2003, same result...something is really messed up..I have also tried two different keyboards to rule out hardware....Absolutely no issues in Emulationstation, just in attract mode.... Could you share a short snip of what you did to compile yours? Maybe I am missing something, or some library etc..not sure what else to try anymore.....I want to convert two of my machines over to Raspberry pi4 from 3, and this is driving me nuts!!! |
Read the comments above...You no longer need libsmfl library, and no longer need the drm helper...a few comments above, is where I went through this, and then it all compiled again... As you can also see, I am having massive keyboard issues, that I have not been able to resolve...curious as to your findings... |
|
On the previous version before all these changes everything worked 100% I’m may even thinking something was changed to case your issues. |
|
Trying to find that out....I have compiled like 5 different times...thinking it is one thing or the other, and for the life of me, the keyboard just refuses to work once I enable the Launch menus, or exit attract after I run a game.....agreed, has to be something, as I am not doing anything strange, and I always start from a clean retropie Image...Would appreciate it, if you share your findings after you compile it again... |
|
Can you provide the steps you followed. To get it to load and I’ll see if I can fine a older branch of attract as id love to compare it. |
mkdir code git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/sfml-pi sfml-pi sudo apt-get install -y cmake libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavfilter-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev libopenal-dev libfreetype6-dev libudev-dev libjpeg-dev libudev-dev libfontconfig1-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxinerama-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev cd .. git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/attract attract cd ~;rm -rf ./code/attract && rm -rf ./code/ffmpeg && rm -rf ./code/sfml-pi Before the reboot, make sure you go into the /opt/retropie/configs/all directory and modify the auotstart.sh script to boot into attract mode, and not emulationstation... |
Did you start from a clean image? |
I got it to load finally but I noticed not full screen but besides that my keyboard works fine. |
OK, so once in attract, start a ROM, with the Load menu enabled, where is says (hit any key to go to load menu), does that work? Once in load menu (I can only get into it by hitting escape) does the keyboard work there? |
|
It forces fullscreen in drm mode, disable overscan in /boot/config.txt that fixed it for me and if using 4k tv make use of the drm env vars to set full hd mode as 4k will be very slow
|
|
Drm backend by default uses prefered mode or highest res mode it does not use mode set in raspi config so even if you change raspi config to set fullhd attract will probably still use 4k as thats the prefered mode probably set by the screen on a 4k tv. Hence the mode evironment vars they are documented in sfml pi readme. You do understand its drm now and not dispmanx. This was like this from the start env vars to request certain drm mode was added later. But not being "fullscreen" is probably caused by not disabling overscan i had it also
|
|
Do not use those instructions that attract repo is outdated. Oomeks sfml-pi branch is on par with the main one
|
|
I am not any closer to getting this resolved, tried everything in the book....My keyboard just does not work once in Attract mode, have compiled this with every option possible, and have been trying all sort of different configs etc....hope someone that knows a lot more than me can figure this out....I have also tried oomek's builds, with same results...... |
|
help please it keeps saying segmentation fault permission denied when i try to boot also evan when i put in sudo attract it says permission denied also before itried this method emulationstation was working but now i get the same error git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/sfml-pi sfml-pi sudo apt-get install -y cmake libflac-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libavutil-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavfilter-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev libopenal-dev libfreetype6-dev libudev-dev libjpeg-dev libudev-dev libfontconfig1-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libxinerama-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev cd .. git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/attract attract cd ~;rm -rf ./code/attract && rm -rf ./code/ffmpeg && rm -rf ./code/sfml-pi Before the reboot, make sure you go into the /opt/retropie/configs/all directory and modify the auotstart.sh script to boot into attract mode, and not emulationstation... |
|
@mickelson this can definitely be closed, attract-mode builds just fine on Raspberry Pi 4 now. |
It seems to be the opportune moment to update the compilation guide of Attract-Mode in pi4 with Raspbian Buster, right?
