      Hello,

      there is an solution for playing the game "Rollercoaster Tycoon 2" on Linux out there, as long as you own the original game files (which i do).
      https://openrct2.org/

      Does anyone know if a port of this software would be possible in retropie?
      I read some posts on the internet, but they were from 2016.
      Meanwhile you don´t need wine anymore, so it´s just the gamefiles and an special launcher.

      Does anyone know something or tried?

      Thanks

        @HPK-de Marked for sure. I just found the CD in my parents' basement and was wondering what to do with it haha. Hope you answered my question.

        4B ~ RPi PSU 5.1V / 3.0A ~ 32GB SanDisk microSD ~ 128GB USB

          @HPK-de haven't really looked at it but I'm guessing will need x server of sorts.

          If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

          Also if you want a solution to your problems read this first: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

            There were some people discussing the possibility here dated back ten months. It's mentioned there that unless the intended Raspberry Pi is running a 32-bit OS, two requirements needed to be met:

            • Dropped dependency on vanilla code
            • Ported to x86-64

            Since that time, the dependence on the original code has been dropped in 0.0.5 (2016-12-27) and RetroPie is already running a 32-bit OS. As stated above, it might still require an x server, but in quick and cursory look, I didn't see a mention that it was a requirement.

            RetroPie v4.5 • RPi3 Model B • 5.1V 2.5A PSU • 16GB SanDisk microSD • 512GB External Drive

              Has anyone gotten this game to work on Raspian?

              I found this thread and will try it shortly! https://www.reddit.com/r/openrct2/comments/5ostjc/raspbian_build/

                I played this on that eltech desktop thing when they had me do a demo trial last year, it actually worked great under that thing. Probably the only thing I tested that did run well.
