@ -187,6 +187,7 @@ In addition to the issues specific to the Ayn Odin 2 there are a couple of other
|
|||
|
||||
* Poor performance/low frame rate after startup on some devices, which seems to happen randomly and is usually resolved by itself within 10 to 30 seconds.
|
||||
* The Android soft keyboard causes rendering issues when navigating using a controller or physical keyboard, as such the ES-DE built-in keyboard is enabled by default for the time being. For testing purposes the Android soft keyboard can be enabled via the _Enable virtual keyboard_ option in the _UI settings_ menu. If only using touch input the issue is not present. This problem is believed to be caused by a bug in the SDL library so it probably needs to be resolved there.
|
||||
* Using a mounted USB storage device for the ES-DE and/or ROMs directories will lead to the configurator exiting after finishing the setup instead of launching ES-DE. Restarting ES-DE manually will lead to a successful startup. If the option to create the system directories was selected in the configurator then this will have to be executed again from inside ES-DE. Note that using a mounted USB storage device leads to a very crippled setup anyway, as for example RetroArch can't read any games from such devices (i.e. from the /mnt/media_rw/ directory tree). Only emulators supporting scoped storage will be usable in such a setup.

### Fake-08
|
||||
|
||||
This RetroArch core is a good port of the official PICO-8 game engine which does not exist on Android. It's not shipped with RetroArch by default though so you need to manually install it. After download you'll need to place the core inside's RetroArch's downloads directory and then install it from the RetroArch app. You must use the 64-bit version with the filename `libfake08-arm64.so`. Details on how to manually install cores in RetroArch can be found on the Internet. Fake-08 can be downloaded from their GitHub site.

### Panda3DS (pandroid)
|
||||
|
||||
This emulator is in early development and there currently seems to be no way to run a game directly from ES-DE. Instead the emulator GUI will be displayed on game launch and you will need to manually select the game from there. Note that the Android build of this emulator is named _pandroid_, but as the overall project name is Panda3DS it will be referred to as such in ES-DE. This emulator can be downloaded from their GitHub site.

|
||||
There seems to be a third situation as well where some emulators apparently keep some residual configuration even after changing the ROM path, which makes game launching fail. In some cases it's been successful to clear the emulator settings completely and then add access to the ROM directory again. The easiest way to do this is to go into the Android Settings app, choose _Apps_, select the emulator you want to clear the settings for, open _Storage & cache_ and select _Clear storage_. Just make sure that the emulator has not placed savestates and similar data on internal storage, as this might otherwise get lost. Following this open the emulator and give access to the correct ROM/game system directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Also be aware that there are some slight variations when it comes to how emulators behave when they can't access the game files. In most cases an explicit error message is displayed that it can't open the file, but some emulators like M64Plus FZ will just display the emulator GUI instead.
|
||||
|
||||
## Why do some standalone emulators fail to launch with "ERROR CODE -1" or just display a black screen?
|
||||
|
||||
ERROR CODE -1 is a general failure mode which could be caused by multiple things. Some emulators react like this when there's a permission issue and they can't access the game file. See the previous question above for how to deal with such permission problems. And some emulators return this error when the file you attempt to launch has an unsupported file extension. For example MD.emu does not support .bin files, but if you rename these to the .gen extension then game launching works as expected.
