Platform: Fedora 34 workstation (gcc 11.1.1-1)
Versions being tested: 86ec2d4 & 2d87cc1 (HEAD of master & 0.9)

The executables and libraries can be compiled and installed fine but mgba-qt simply doesn't work for me.

Here's what happened when I'm using XORG GNOME:
https://streamable.com/wi3h0a
(the terminal shows SDL Audio: Could not open SDL sound system) -> and audio won't play

And when I select GNOME (Wayland? ), the program reacts very differently. Before loading the ROM:
Imgur
After:
Imgur
And if you load the ROM again, it will result in a segmentation fault.
The audio is playing fine in this case.


Update May 18:
In Xorg it's working under unknown situations, tested 3 times (in 3 different sessions) and it's whitescreen -> flawless -> whitescreen. It's likely GNOME's fault so the problem is probably only for Wayland.


On the contrary, the SDL version is always working fine on my machine.

This is a duplicate of #1837 I believe, though that one got closed since the person who was "helping" me debug it on Sway was a huge asshole and didn't actually help.

I can't even compile m-gba on Fedora 35. I installed a bunch of libraries, but ended up with:

Make Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:230 (message):

Any idea what could be wrong? There's no "liblzma-devel" I could install...

Thanks. Afair it did not show up in dnf for me, but will check again tomorrow...

Try -DUSE_MINIZIP=OFF, since this looks like that's trying to pull in libLZMA for some reason. mGBA's USE_LZMA uses a version of the LZMA SDK that's bundled so it shouldn't do this.

@HorstBaerbel
Copy link

I just checked. lib64lzma-devel is not available via dnf. -DUSE_MINIZIP=OFF leads to:

CMake Error at /usr/lib64/cmake/libzip/libzip-targets.cmake:92 (message):
  The imported target "libzip::zipcmp" references the file

     "/usr/bin/zipcmp"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "/usr/lib64/cmake/libzip/libzip-targets.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.

That's an issue with libzip's CMake packaging. You'll need to install zipcmp and another tool. I don't know what the packages are called on Fedora.

@HorstBaerbel

Installing "libzip-tools" and -DUSE_MINIZIP=OFF did the trick. Thanks!

The SDL2 version seems to work, but the Qt version does not load the .gba or .elf from the command line or the menu

According to my tests (newest git):

  • It starts if "useShareWidget = false;" is set in DisplayGL.cpp:126. A ROM can be loaded, audio plays, but nothing is displayed. Tiles display etc. work ok.
  • It starts if "useShareWidget = true;" is set in DisplayGL.cpp:126. A ROM can be loaded, crackling audio plays, the screen is corrupted with random content. Initially the window title bar is missing. It randomly appears after switching to different tasks/windows. Tiles display etc. work ok.
  • It works fine with "export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb && mgba-qt". The state of the "useShareWidget" flag does not matter.

@HorstBaerbel

This is with useShareWidget=true

Looks like the OpenGL context is swapping, but nothing is being drawn to it for some reason. Hm...

@HorstBaerbel

I was playing around a bit:

  • When useShareWidget=false and I pause/unpause the emulation the screen the display updates one (still) frame correctly
  • When useShareWidget=false and switching to Qt Software rendering it seems to render correctly for me

Can reproduce it here, on updated Arch Linux, KDE Plasma running on Wayland. If I launch the emulator from a terminal window, it prints the line

QOpenGLContext::swapBuffers() called with non-exposed window, behavior is undefined

Software (Qt) renderer works perfect and that line doesn't get printed to the terminal, but it's obviously CPU-intensive.

When trying to switch the Display driver in settings I also get:

qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()

This a fresh Fedora 36 install running Wayland. I think I compiled with out OpenGL support.

Those warnings are unrelated. I have a solution I'm working on right now.

The branch is at https://github.com/endrift/mgba/tree/fix/wayland. If you're on GNOME, I'd love it tested. On KDE, for some reason, the menu disappears when you start a game. It also breaks macOS, so I need to work on that still.

Yes, I'm on GNOME.

Compiled, ran. Switched to Display driver "OpenGL". Mouse vanished when hovering over mGBA. Restarted, could load a ROM, music plays, but display does not update. When I hover menu bar items I get "qt.qpa.wayland: Wayland does not support QWindow::requestActivate()" in the console. When I try to load new ROM the display gets updated with a single frame from the emulation.

Nice. Works fire with OpenGL! I get two

QOpenGLContext::swapBuffers() called with non-exposed window, behavior is undefined

but else than that it is working fine.

Ah, no wait. I had switched to X11... Need to retest...

Hm, are you sure you updated? Running that branch on a fresh Fedora 36 live image on an Intel GPU works, but going back to master doesn't. Can you confirm what commit you're on?

@HorstBaerbel

On commit "65280a9665e5f24694a060ac6627a5b0748cd845 (HEAD -> fix/wayland)". It's better than before. Sometimes ROMs load and run, sometimes they don't. It's hit-and-miss. I'm running Qt 5.15.3 and and Nvidia GPU with the 510 proprietary driver, so it might also be a driver problem. Will retest with newer driver.

Early August hopefully. In the meantime you can use a development build or compile from source.
