Streets of rage remake install help

addyb

Ok mate. Like I said on your YT channel I've done all that as shown in those pics and updated from source and I have the game in ports when I boot emulation station. When I launch the game I just get a black screen with flashing cursor for a few seconds and then it returns to the game list again.

I'm just confused as to how I now copy the files over. I know you mentioned ftp. I have putty on my laptop but I've no idea how to do this process.

Apologies if I'm being a blag. I'm quite technical but I'm obviously having a blonde moment and missing something obvious. I appreciate all the help so far mate.

Any idea if higher resolution and v-sync work now? The one thing keeping me playing SORR on my laptop connected to the tv instead of my Pi.

@addyb
There are 3 distinct steps here really
1 - Install zerojays repository
2 - Install sorr
3 - Copy game files accross

Are you saying #1 and #2 above have completed without issue?
So, you have a folder that has been made here /opt/retropie/ports/sorr

If so, what do you get if you type the following
ls -lah /opt/retropie/ports/sorr/

If you havent copied your game files over, check the video for the files you need, and follow the instruction to change the permission on that folder, i.e. sudo chmod 777 /opt/retropie/ports/sorr

Then copy the game files across using an FTP client (I use Filezilla)

Hi mate I've copied the files over via ftp

but when I run ls -lah I only have bgdi-330 and save game listed

No sure what's happening lol.

EDIT: Wrong folder lol sorry.

Oh ffs as I copied them all to configs/sorr instead of ports/sorr I then accidentally moved them all from configs to ports and now it errors on launch saying no config file.

I'll uninstall sor and start again as I don't know what should be in the config folder

Floob

Those are two different directories showing (it looks like you have copied your game files to the configs or roms directory).
Make sure the game files get copied to /opt/retropie/ports/sorr/

addyb

Yep I've just done a quick reinstall of retropie and installed sorr. I ran the sudo command to give me permissions but when I try and ftp the files across it now says permission denied?

Floob

@addyb What do you get when you try
ls -lah /opt/retropie/ports

addyb

Just had to come away for a while as I'm sorting kids out. I'll check in a bit. Strange how I could initially ftp files across albeit to the wrong place lol and now I can't.

This is what I get from that mate.

Ok, that looks right - can you FTP files across to it now?

addyb

No I log into cyber ducky with pi and raspberry, port 22 and I can browse fine but when I try and upload any of the files/folders I need I get a permission denied error. I've no idea why?

Floob

@addyb Have you got a screenshot of the error when trying to write in there?

addyb

I will have when I dive on in the next half hour. Having a Google and a few other people have had the same issue with cyberducky. I wonder if it's worth trying a different ftp client.

Error screenie

Thats the same screenshot as above?

Just installed filezilla and that appears to be uploading sor.dat now :)

addyb

Ok all in. I launch the game and it prompts me to choose a default emulator with 1: sorr being the only option and it's stuck on that screen. Am I missing the emulator.cfg?

addyb

Ignore the last one. All my roms are prompting for an emulator now. I need to wipe and reinstall the image. What's the easiest way to do this as Windows currently just sees the boot partition.

Floob

The error showing in cyberduck said it was trying to write in the ports directory, not the sorr directory.
But if youve got it working with Filezilla stick with that.

If you want to start from scratch, just follow the guide here:
