@Folly IPL.COM does work in DosBox

Did it create a bootable iso ?

ps.
Did the curl line go smooth ?
Can you try again to inform me ?

Yep, it made the iso bootable. So I had a folder within the Alltynex ISO that contained the Azure game files - I just couldn't work out how to access it from within Towns OS.

Not sure about @Zering and Alltynex curling.

I'd like to know when the OpenBOR 6xxx version will be added to the official Retropie setup script. I never figured out how to install it from their custom method.

So after a ton of testing my DOS games... I reverted back to "core" DosBox. I think it has a lot to do with me running a Pi3b+

Sound issues on many games when using any features like overlays and forget about using shaders. Sound pops, cracks and skips.

Some games don't run as fast as they do in core, Aces over Europe is a good example, and other games have disk recognition issues like Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffe.

Eventually, I'm going upgrade to a Pi4, probably sooner than later... but until then, I dropped back. I think this is a great port to Libretro, and my finding by no means should prevent anyone from doing it. I'm very happy to see it happen. I'll just hold off for now.

@wesbish yes! Thank you!

@plimbs it seems that someone will need to go on github and ask the devs for xash3d about it.

thats what i did to get it to compile again with the script from zerojay.
now i have a pi4 and i have not tested it yet. so im not much help on this

and i used the old way to get it working on my Pi3, and that way uses the old version from FWGS

Rolan's Curse for Game Boy, it's action RPG like.

Does anyone remember seeing those 100/150 games in 1 gameboy color game cartridges? I remember in the early 2000's seeing them and they had classics like Elevator Action, Rolan's Curse, Lock N Chase, Pokemon Green and Super Mario Land 2.

@crush ok, thanks.

@britx
hey all...anyone willing to help get this working on a Pi3 with single HDMI and using a RGB matrix instead of the expensive LCD?

I have been trying with no experience. Managed to get a gif playing on start but no im at a loss?
@losernator i read you had this working on a single HDMI? would you share the script please?
great work! also......

@niculinux aparently not as it's all done automatically.

I haven't played around with the config files...if there are any... because I have yet to find them. I'm still testing and coverting my other games to the new format. Really... zipping and moving them over to the PC rom folder.

Once I set gpu_freq_min to 500 then Emulationstation didn't cause me any issues, but yes in the 3D emulation like Dreamcast and N64 you will still see tearing. The way around this I found was to go into the video settings and set G-Sync to on. This got rid of the tearing (for some reason!) and now it performs well. Don't set that for 8/16 bit stuff though or you'll see problems there (I found). There are other ways around this (such as setting kms in your config) but for now I prefer this approach until these problems are resolved.

I never figured out how to get this going, but has anyone tested or willing to test the freeware version of Vanguard Princess?

@mediamogul
It takes a lot of imagination to turn it into a football game , but it was the idea. 😁

I can tell offroad is not implemented by fbneo yet

indeed

Well, maybe I was simply hoping it would have been supported by fbneo, but I hoped a bit too hard. :P

when i do sudo nano /home/pi/.bashrc, retropie_welcome does not show up. im using a pi 4 btw
