@zerojay Installation was successful! I'll try to play it after grabbing some dinner :P

@zerojay Some sprites are flickering. Here's a shitty video: https://streamable.com/2m02c

Maybe it's because I have a shitty power adaptor?
I have a Raspberry Pi 3 with RetroPie 4.3.7 and RetroPie Extra up to date.

@hiulit Hmm. Maybe on a Pi 3, the game will need to run at a lower resolution. The game is set to use whatever the desktop is set to, so maybe use runcommand to change the resolution to 720p or lower and see what happens.

hiulit

@zerojay I'll try that and I'll let you know

hiulit

@zerojay My best resolution was 720x576 @ 50Hz 4:3, clock: 27MHz progressive and I think the same for 16:9. There was still some slight flickering though, specially on the HUD and at the bottom of the screen. But the sprites were fine and the game was totally playable.

zerojay

I'll add a note for pi3 users then.

hiulit

@zerojay Maybe the note should be something generic, like: "If you get flickering sprites, try changing the video mode in runcommand". I'm saying that because I don't know if my resolution would work for everyone.

zerojay

That's the idea.

Howdy @zerojay
This no longer seems to work. None of the additional scripts are showing up on the retropie menu. Is this due to some sort of upstream change?

hiulit

@shakz Did you try updating the script? See the documentation https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/#updating

zerojay

I'm starting work on updating for Stretch. This may take some time.

zerojay

I'm back to RetroPie and am slowly starting to check which games and ports are no longer functional to try to fix them under Buster.

I've also added an installation script for the latest version of OpenBOR that installs the latest official version as an emulator instead of a port, allowing you to launch games directly from emulationstation.

hiulit

@zerojay welcome back!

zerojay

I'm dumb, ignore this.

@zerojay I actually saw your post being changed while reading it. 😆

Added lr-fceumm-mod to support playing the crazy new Super Mario Bros 1/3 Russian hack. Yep, that's right, an emulator just for one game, but it's worth it.

Various bugfixes for various scripts. Added a pico8 system script that automatically creates a new system in Emulationstation for your games.
