Hi @zynthianers!
For installing JE8086 emulator in your zynthian, simply run this commands from your zynthian’s terminal:
wget https://github.com/dsp56300/gearmulator/releases/download/2.1.0/TheUsualSuspects-JE8086-LV2-2.1.0-Linux_aarch64.deb
dpkg -i TheUsualSuspects-JE8086-LV2-2.1.0-Linux_aarch64.deb
rm -f TheUsualSuspects-JE8086-LV2-2.1.0-Linux_aarch64.deb
regenerate_engines_db.sh
systemctl restart zynthian
As you probably know, this emulator needs the original firmware from the manufacturer. For legally use this firmware, you MUST be the owner of a real JP8000. If you are not, you should stop here. Only JP8000 owners are authorized to download and use the firmware.
If you are the happy owner of a JP8000, you can download and use the firmware from the Roland’s official website:
Then unzip and copy the MID files into the right directory:
/root/.local/share/The Usual Suspects/JE8086/roms
These commands will do the process for you:
mkdir -p "/root/.local/share/The Usual Suspects/JE8086/roms"
cd "/root/.local/share/The Usual Suspects/JE8086/roms"
wget https://static.roland.com/assets/media/zip/JP8000v1.05.zip
unzip JP8000v1.05.zip
mv JP8000v1.05/* .
rm -rf JP8000v1.05.zip
rm -rf JP8000v1.05
rm -rf __MACOSX
Please, remember that you SHOULD NOT DOWNLOAD or USE this firmware unless you own a real JP8000 device. Please, don’t break the laws!
All the best!
