Hi Emuelec , I could see on GitHub test section you are working on v4.4 for two months now which i am looking forward to test , however you metioned that S905 (GXBB, p201) for the moment is no longer supported and this is the device i am useing . My question is Will S905 (GXBB, p201) devices be supported at the final 4.4 release or is 4.3 is the last version for such devices and Emuelec will need newer devices from now on . Regards Fidiko ---

Good afternoon. At the moment, EE 4.3 will be the last version compatible with S905. Since the new kernel does not support this amlogic. ---

Thanks for your answer @SamWilson , this is what i thought , however i have a request or help if i can say. I am very satisfied with 4.3 , it has every thing i need as i am using it for mame/Daphne on my arcade machine for arcade games but with only one issue in some Daphnie/ Hypseus Singe games which is already fixed by shantigilbert on GitHub with this error on github ( [emuelec 4.3 Hypseus Singe error · Issue #736 · EmuELEC/EmuELEC · GitHub](https://github.com/EmuELEC/EmuELEC/issues/736) ) or this topic ( [Singe 1 American laser games 4.3](https://emuelec.discourse.group/t/singe-1-american-laser-games-4-3/590) ) shantigilbert told me i need to wait for a new version to get this error fixed , now i cannot get it fixed as v4.4 will not be cobpatible with my device . My request is i need is a 4.3 vesion with that error fixed if possible , or if there is a way i can create Emuelec 4.3 with this error fixed by my self , can anyone help me with that please ??? Best regards Fidiko ---

S905 will no longer be supported, if you want to build 4.3 by yourself you can find the instructions on the Github > **[GitHub - EmuELEC/EmuELEC: EmuELEC, retro emulation for Amlogic devices. Based...](https://github.com/EmuELEC/EmuELEC#building-emuelec)** > > EmuELEC, retro emulation for Amlogic devices. Based on CoreELEC. https://emuelec.org or join us on Discord: https://discord.gg/cbgtJTu - GitHub - EmuELEC/EmuELEC: EmuELEC, retro emulation for Amlog... But instead of `git checkout dev` use `git checkout dev_4.3` but you will have to add any fixes that you need. ---

> [@fidiko](#): > > pcre2-10.33.tar.bz2 First, you have to find a valid URL of “pcre2-10.33.tar.bz2” on the Internet. Copy the URL string. Second, you have to modify “packages/addons/addon-depends/pcre2/package.mk” and replace the dead URL string with the valid one. I think pcre2 package is only the first package with dead URL. You will encounter many others with dead URL. You have to modify them one by one. Another way. You can download “pcre2-10.33.tar.bz2” package and put it in the right dir (maybe “toolchain”). The toolchain will check it without downloading from Internet. ---

Thanks for your answer @eric4gth , unfortunately pcre2 folder was not located in the path you provided, however i solved that by downloading “pcre2-10.33.tar.bz2” and “pcre2-10.33.tar.bz2.sha256” then creating “pcre2-10.33.tar.bz2.url” file with the link of the source i downloaded the files from , the i placed them in ./EmuELEC/sources/pcr2 . building in progress now so far… ---

No idea, but the error seems clear, the mali fbdev is not working on your build. Not sure how to fix it. But older hardware is EOL… you are going to have a hard time fixing newer stuff on it. ---

I understand , the thing is , these games are working on Batocera 3.2 with no issue , dont understand why not on EmuELEC . Emuelec is much better on Amlogic devices , it is the best , on Batocera i dont have Wifi , No Advance Mame …, Emuelec is too close to prefact , only this issue 🙄 ---
