I managed to port retroarch and a few notable cores to webos (webos 2.0 here) LG TVs. Cores I've tried and are running at full speed are gpsp, mgba, nestopia and snes9x. After a lot of work, I've also managed to get desmume2015 up and running with decent speed for some games; but about cores, particularly for desmume, I plan to start another thread. Maybe some of you could help regarding further speedup :). Just let me know...

Right, so first things first. I'm not going to release executables, since there are many webos configurations, versions, hardware differences, libraries etc ;). Instead, the purpose of this thread is meant to be a discussion forum for people interested to get themselves retroarch up ad running. So, regarding requirements, you need a rooted tv, a dump of your 'rootfs' and a cross-compiler toolchain. I also assume you do your experiments under linux.

These are roughly the steps you'll have to follow:

1. Download retroarch 1.7.1 sources from here: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/releases

2. Extract the attached archive, in the directory RetroArch-1.7.1 (where you extracted the retroarch sources). This will overwrite qb/config.libs.sh and give you a few needed additional files, such as my configuration file for building retroarch; this is config_andy.sh.

3. Modify config_andy.sh and qb/config.libs.sh to fit your setup, see above. You'll have to be very careful here... sorry for that. Btw., some libraries such as all Qt could be removed since we do not compile the Qt GUI. We need wayland + EGL frontent.

4. Attempt to compile retroarch by runnig 'source config_andy.sh'.

Fingers crossed !

If you managed to compile retroarch, upload it to the TV and run it via ssh/telnet. You should see the retroarch GUI. Let me know how this first step goes...

Good luck !

Hi, is this still in Development?

I installed retroarch and managed to get cores with the core downloader but I cant manage to get roms to appear in the usb or how to transfer them to the tv. Can someone help me?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] LukeStage:
Use telnet, TV IP, user: root and password: alpine. The easy way is using WinSCP. The path is /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.retroarch/.config/retroarch. The directory .config is hidden. And you can create the ROM directory and add rom files. If you get it works please tell us. Good luck.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Liquidgykill:
Hi, thanks for your reply, Im new to all these, what do I need to do that? Should I put my tv in developer mode? Im asking because the root guide says if webos is rooted dev mode should not be used. Do I need an usb cable from my tv to my pc or can be done wireless?
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] LukeStage:
I'm new too. I have rooted tv and you don't need any cable. I don't know how to use the developer mode. Simply root the tv since https://rootmy.tv/ from your tv browser and find out the IP of your TV (I use by example the app of my phone called Fing). Install in your laptop the WinSCP, with the TV IP, the user is root and the password is alpine. After that you can connect with your tv even using linux commands if you want.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Liquidgykill:
Im sorry, I dont know if Im missing any step.

I rooted my tv

in the homebrew channel I activated telnet and shh

from my tv settings I got my ip

I tried using scp with my IP but I dunno what protocol to use or what port to use

Conection attempts always fail

I dont know if Im sissing a step on my pc (Windows 10) or on the tv to be honest.

UPDATE: I was able to connect with the steps above on prot 22 and STPF protocol.

I downloaded retroarch from the hombrew channel

Retroarch by default comes with no cores so I used the Online updater - assets update and Online updater - update core info fies.

Also update your assets.

After that, you go to core downloader and Download any of the Supported cores on WebOs, in my case MGBA.

I put a GBA ROM in the directory: /media/developer/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.retroarch/.config/retroarch/downloads

since is a directory with its own shortcut inside Retroarch its easy to find it quickly.

Its incredible, WebOs runs pretty well GBA, its not perfect but its totally playable.

Im using a PS4 controller with USB cable in the back port of my tv and its recognized as an HID device, you can config the keys of the controller inside retroarch options.

THANK YOU @LukeStage and everyone that made this port possible.

Im sure this is a silly question, but i could use a hand... i rooted my lg with rootmy.tv and installed retroarch... So when i try to telnet and change directories to the one listed above i get "permission denied." did i miss something post rootmy.tv? can anyone toss me a lifeline?sidenote - i do have ssh server and telnet on in the homebrew channel app.. i can telnet into it, but its like i dont have root access .... did i miss something/? i login with root alpine... also my command line shows - "root@LGwebOSTV".

Edit. Sorry guys i think i got it. My bad
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] rcal.ftd:
So i got the roms added to the specific folder but when i load them they show the file name at first but then all i get is a black screen. Is there a fix for this?

Edit. This was my mistake. I was trying to load the zip like a dumby. Simply unzipping and uploding the rom file to tv fixed this
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] rcal.ftd:
Anyone know what version of mame emulator that will work? I been using sftp to add roms for snes and sega and stuff but i cant figure out how to install mame. System info shows webos is linux based but is there another version of emulator i can use? Droid or something like that? Also i wanna thank you for this port. It works great for me. Just need to figure out the mame emulator and how to load the full list of cores. Then it would be 100% perfect! But great job!!!
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] rcal.ftd:
Great job bro. I installed through homebrew channel and add roms through sftp. Runs great. Audio can have a few hiccups here and there but nothing to complain about. I just posted below about mame. Any chance you could help me out sometime. I wanna add the mame emulator myself if i have to. Or may be explain how to add full core list to retroarch. Thanks again for this. Its amazing!
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] rcal.ftd:
I been using sftp to transfer to tv from my local host. Its easy and it works fine. Just make sure to extract the zip and upload the actual rom file
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] rcal.ftd:
So this may be very helpful for all wh0 want to add cores that arent already in the app on webos

[WebOS Software and Hacking General] Kashi_:
I have a question. There is no other away apart from rooting my TV in order to put some roms in retroarch?

I plugged a pendrive into the TV with some roms, but I couldnt find the right folder in Retroarch explorer.

I don't want to root my TV :(
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] zoltszalay:
This is nice, contains every major 16bit system only one missing: TurboGrafx16 (PC engine in Japan)

Can you add the core to the online updater? There are many pc engine game for English translation nowadays, it would be nice if I actually can play them on my TV.

Kashi: read back the forum, pendrive are not working sadly, you can install winscp (telnet client) to copy game roms to the internal storage of your tv. Get the IP from the TV's network settings, username root password alpine and put the roms in the folder media/developer/apps/usr/palm/applications/com.retroarch/.config/retroarch
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] LazaroFilm:
You can use the dev mode option. Install the dev add from the regular App Store on the TV and add the free dev mode option to your account. Then use this to side load retroarch to your tv. Downside there is a button in the dev app you need to read every 50 hours (I feel like John Loke in Lost) there are some automated options to renew the dev mode but I haven’t gotten them to work yet.
[WebOS Software and Hacking General] bombenbodo:
I finally managed to get the homebrew channel installed on my old WebOS 3.40 Oled from 2016.

I installed retroarch and tested Sega, SNES, NES, and GB but all do have massive audio stutter problems when I'm ingame.

If I switch back to the "homescreen" using the home-button, and retroarch is running in the background so to speak, the audio plays fine and does not stutter.

Does anyone can help me maybe with some audio/resampler settings I could try?

How can I check if I'm using the proper device / driver combo?

TIA

Hi guys and thanks.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this... If not, sorry about that.

I've got a rooted, bootloader unlocked Redmi 5 Plus, the thing is I hate gapps (Play Store and Services too)...

I was using a China firmware but it has some notifications errors and I stopped using it.

I'm using right now a very nice one but it has gapps on it. I tried removing them from /system/app and /system/priv-app and it leads to a bootloop so...

Does anyone know hot to get ride of gapps safely without breaking rom?

I love Miui, I don't like AOSP based roms.

Anyone have some experience with some nice tgsp or skins for the mate20?

I ordered some stuff, but it's not in yet..
[Huawei Mate 20 Questions & Answers] jdn~:
lemme start this topic off..

Guys dont buy the 4D TGSP from DrPhone it's a rip off!!

The picture happened after I tried to align the TGSP to the upper right corner. Also look at the teardrop is also not aligned correctly

Also the lower part of the screen was covered, but that isn't clear because it's all black.

I got some more tgsp coming in..

1. Doesnt cover whole front panel

2. Covers bits of all 4 sides of the screen when placed in the middle

3. No curved edges

total rip off!!!
[Huawei Mate 20 Questions & Answers] Pierre118:
Thanks for the warning. You did not like the standard pre-installed factory screen protector?

I have removed the screen protector because it is much more smoother to use and the pre-installed screen protector was a fingerprint magnet.

I bought a slim cover case with auto wake and sleep when opening and closing. It protects the phone more than enough.
[Huawei Mate 20 Questions & Answers] jdn~:
I do like the pre-installed one, but it's a fingerprint and dust magnet?

So yeah I wanna go TGSP, camera lens protector and back skin.

I ordered 2 dbrand skins and just a regular transparent kevlar (print) skin.

But soo many tgsp sellers are just cheating people with their bs =/

and yeah i've also noticed the phone is soo much smoother when no protector applied! but I hope glass will improve the touch than plastic =)

[Huawei Mate 20 Questions & Answers] jdn~:
yet another tgsp from drphone.. bad quality..

funny how they say its made this way so you can use a case...

You cover the screen so ppl can use a case? ****!!! are they blind or do they think we're stupid? =/

damn scamming sellers everywhere

Anyway.. next week I have the tgsp from eiger, nilkin, icall and just in case coming in.

I will test them and post the results here.

If the fit isn't right I won't stick it on my phone so I can return it and get a refund.
[Huawei Mate 20 Questions & Answers] jdn~:
I'll rank them from "best" to worst, but I'm very disappointed with the results:

1. Nilkin: Barely cover the whole screen. So it looks very ugly and small. And the glass will " cut" you. No 2.5/3D glass.

(All the 3 others were just terrible:

iCall: covers 2mm of left and right side of screen

Eiger: Doesn't cover left and right side of the screen for about 2/3 mm. wtfff

JustInCase: covers 2mm of left and right side of screen

I'm sending all these crap products back ! These were priced from 10 to 17 euros EACH!

Only positive side from today is my dbrand skin it looks so fine that wood skin!
[Huawei Mate 20 Questions & Answers] jdn~:
After many many tries with those overpriced TGSP I got a good hit with 2 cheap tgsp.

My personal favorite is the first one from aliexpress.

So smooth and bright and you almost forget you have a tgsp on it.

https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/ZNP-...235.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.17e14c4dCKzfrt

Pros:

1. Thin (feels almost as thin as the factory pre installed one, perhaps because of the right size?)

2. Cheap

3. Covers more than only the screen (but not the entire front panel)

4. Case friendly (for those who use it with a case)

5. Quality feels like premium

Cons:

1. Long shipment

2. May experience white line problems ( I have just a small sign of white lines, but only noticable when you are looking closing for them)

Also a decent buy:

https://www.ebay.nl/itm/Huawei-Mate...var=651362647729&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

1. Covers whole screen (leaves nothing uncovered except for the camera area)

2. Cheap

3. Quality seems decent

Cons:

1. Uses tape (so there could be some dust sticking on the sides, haven't tried it on for long time because the one from aliexpress arrived 2 days later)

2. Long shipment

No. Custom ROMs are just that. Custom.
