OpenBOR finally working fine on RETROPIE with ES

cyperghost

@bizzar721 @darknior Seems to be your turn .... I'm still on journeyh

BiZzAr721

I quickly created & setup a new image, installed OpenBOR from retropie setup. I switched out the Binaries & set permissions to 0755. It wouldn't load. Just goes back to ES. I'm sure it's something simple but that's beyond my skill.

cyperghost

@bizzar721 Can you post output of runcommand log?

please try this
sudo apt-get install -y libsdl-gfx1.2-5

This is the sdl-gfx for Rpi fixed

After that you can try to install SDL2 as @zanac mentioned with
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev

BiZzAr721

I will do. Are you saying this binary is compiled to accept launching command (as in how it's currently set up)? Or should I use the "vanilla" openbor I set up? I also tested with .PAK and .bor folders.

EDIT
Using OpenBOR with game selection script here is the runcommand log:

Parameters: 
Executing: pushd /opt/retropie/ports/openbor; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor/OpenBOR "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor/Battletoads & Double Dragon IV - The Return of the Dark Forces.bor"; popd
/opt/retropie/ports/openbor ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor
/opt/retropie/ports/openbor/OpenBOR: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_gfx-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
~/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor

@bizzar721 I assume this binary is vanilla. So it will accept PAKs only via its own launching menu. But if the menu is up it will run every game. The CLI can be patched later. I think it would help if you post content of error log.

If you have used the first fix you can try to run the pikiss openbor binary, too
I have saved it for later use. It is downloadable from here

https://github.com/crcerror/RetroPie-OpenBOR-scripts/tree/master/binary

You can also Google for pikiss openbor then you see the install script which installs sdlgfx fix

You must install gfx of sdl2 that command is gfx sdl1

cyperghost

@zanac so it is
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-gfx
Or
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-gfx-1.0-0
And
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-gfx-dev

Can you please correct my commands and tell @BiZzAr721 how to do?

Didn't know you guys were working on building an updated OpenBOR engine. Exciting news! I was going through and installing games while updating my spreadsheet for compatibility earlier today. Got up to "C". Maybe I'll wait and re-do it to see if the broken games work.

cyperghost

@hansolo77 yes and we hope it will work. The error output of @BiZzAr721 seems that we are hopefully on the right track. Sadly I do not have access to my Pie till end of next week so I just do guessing here. @zanac is the most asked man in this thread now.

@BiZzAr721 as we are using a precompiled method there is no need for sdl2-dev (IMHO)

zanac

@cyperghost if that binary will work for you i will update, cause in that i embedded the resolution of My chipset 384/224)

@cyperghost

Using
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-gfx-dev & sudo apt-get install libsdl2-gfx-1.0-0
here is the runcommand log from zanec's gl openBOR:

Parameters: 
Executing: pushd /opt/retropie/ports/openbor; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor/OpenBOR; popd
/opt/retropie/ports/openbor ~
/opt/retropie/ports/openbor/OpenBOR: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
~

I used pikiss setup script and let it set up dependencies and installed OpenBOR (moved binary from /home/pi/games/openbor) which worked.

Tried zanac's GL version again and received same runcommand log error.

cyperghost

@BiZzAr721 how does the pikiss open or behaves? Do save games work? Does it use pak files? Is it slow and last which revision it is?

I think it is possible to get newest revision to run. Now you can Google how to install the missing sdl2 depencies.

Thank you for your tries

Edit about libvpx there is a guide

@zanac I am not a real help at the moment - I have no access to my Pi the next 10 days. So I would be glad if you can help @BiZzAr721 ... There is a new dependecie needed libvpx. It is for video encoding.

i confirm, the new version use libvpx and also a new vorbis decoder.... just use apt-get, it's very easy to solve these problems! Guys, just study a little use of linux!!!! ;)

zanac

here you can see the new version running final fight gold :)

@zanac I believe you that it is running - in a few hours @BiZzAr721 will surly post his out findings. I guess he is eating something in the moment or does something mad with his parachute. But as you said we need another video encoder then I think we are on the right track.

It was a video just for fun, anyway please dont worry about resolution i will share a new binary soon that will be better on rpi, that GL version is for old crt tv that i use with pandora box (allwinner) inside My arcade cab

@zanac Thank you for coming on board and sharing.

It was 2:30am when I tested that last time. I'm out with family for the day, but I will do some more testing tonight. Please let me know anything else you believe will be useful. I might not be skilled in linux and the various commands but I am good at problem solving. I am glad to be able to contribute.

I'm the manteiner of openpb4, retropan Project, a porting of retropie for allwinner Board, actually i think that My skill is good enough for help also official retropie Project will enjoy new openbor. I also made some patch in emulation station that were included after some test in official retropie so this is not a new Experience for me.

cyperghost

@zanac I saw in your video that you call single pak files just via selection menu. Do you use a script file that renames or moves the pak files or are you using the method (I prefer) like @darknior did. Call the files directly with OpenBOR /rompath/filename.pak

Darknior made a small but clever C patch to trick the command line.
