Summary

Output

Host env.

• BizHawk 2.9.1 ; MacOS Ventura 13.3 (Host of the virtual machine) , Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS (virtual machine where i'm running the emulator)

Can you confirm the file (libbizhash.so) exists in the dll dir?

Can you confirm the file (libbizhash.so) exists in the dll dir?

I confirm it exists in the dll dir, Yoshi.
The size of the ('libbizhash.so') file is 26.7 kB.

Can you try launching EmuHawk from the terminal as BIZHAWK_INT_SYSLIB_PATH="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD/dll:$PWD:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" mono EmuHawk.exe?

Then it prints a lot of debugging lines, i can send them if you want.

I believe that's due to missing drivers, but you clearly have them, and they should be under /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri. Check where virtio_gpu_dri.so is, and add it to LD_LIBRARY_PATH if necessary.

[Filippogigante]

I don't really know how to do this. I tried setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/dri path and then executing the command : BIZHAWK_INT_SYSLIB_PATH="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$PWD/dll:$PWD:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" mono EmuHawk.exe , it gave me less errors in stdout but still it cannot load the rom and prints the same error when i try executing the ROM.

Just checking—is this an AArch64 VM? BizHawk is for x86_64 only (it's in the filename). The managed parts may run in Mono on ARM, but none of us have ever tested it, and we've had similar reports from someone who did test it. A quick search brings up the QEMU-based UTM for virtualising x86_64 on Apple silicon Macs.

Going back to the start, please run MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug MONO_LOG_MASK=dll ./EmuHawkMono.sh and upload EmuHawkMono_*.txt as Gists. That will clarify exactly what's happening w.r.t. lib loading.

[Filippogigante]

Yes i'm running it on an AArch64 VM, i just went full retard mode and didn't see x86_64 at all. Sorry for the inconvenience but i am not used to do this kind of stuff. I don't think i will emulate x86_64 as it will get super slow. Thank you anyways for your fast replies.
