This is missing the Database folder needed for Neo Geo emulation, among others.

Thanks to you Snowstorm64 for the 2022-05-18 update.

ares v128 is now the best nintendo 64 emulator as noted here: https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/releases

...That's right, I haven't thought about git being now needed for downloading parallel-rdp.

Thank you, I have just pushed an update. Hopefully it's the final update until next Ares' new release!

The PKGBUILD seems to be missing git as a build dependency. The package would not build until I added git to the makedepends array.

By the way, thanks for maintaining a PKGBUILD for this software.

I had no idea that parallel-rdp was missing from the archive, there weren't any clue about it from the build output.

Thanks again, I have pushed a new update.

Hoping you see it Snowstorm64: n64 emulation is only 'broken' in v121 because the full content of parallel-rdp is no longer stored in the source archive.

You can run make -C ares/n64/vulkan sync-upstream in the root directory before building lucia, and that will fetch the code for parallel-rdp.

The same detail applies to the git version also.

Hi SoullessSentinel, I have heard about the awful news, it's a terrible loss for all us...I hope at least that they are in a better place now.

Thanks for the tip, I have now changed the source to point at the Github repository.

I have also activated the development version, it's available at this address: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ares-emu-git/

I was hesitant whether to update this package to version 121 because N64 emulation is now broken. I have decided to do so anyways, but I hope that will be fixed soon.

Many thanks and good luck!

The original developer of ares (Near) is sadly no longer with us. I have been appointed the new maintainer by the community around ares, and the license has been changed to ISC.

The new upstream is currently at https://github.com/higan-emu/ares. We are on version 121a (which is the latest release from Near, with some minor amendments to fix some compilation issues).

The gcc-serialize-reserved patch should no longer be required.

'Nightly'/development builds are also available now as well as stable releases, so it may be worth creating an ares-emu.git AUR package also.
