Would love to be able to get Badlands working on RetroPie, and Astron Belt not buggy (it will often play infinitely until you're flying across banded colour test-cards). Good luck!

Any updates on adding lr-daphne? https://github.com/libretro/daphne

Last source update the 22 November ...

I don't remember, but are all the games working fine like on the original Daphne emulator ? Same accurate emulation and speed.
Thanks for your install script @cyperghost :) Will it be officially added to retropie-setup ?

Darksavior

@darknior I didn't notice @cyperghost 's repo that adds it in. I'll try that now, thanks. I just want to play Road Blaster and Time Gal.
Update: None of my games load. Logs say nothing's wrong. Meh.

@darknior @Darksavior (aka the dark ones ;) ) Care to share the link to that repo? I couldn't find it on the web …

@Darksavior said in Hypseus new Daphne fork to try on Retropie:

I just want to play Road Blaster and Time Gal.

These games use SINGE engine in Daphne, we don't have it on Retroarch :(

I tried lr-daphne on my pc and figured out the directory structure to get that working. No audio and crashes too much to bother.

@Darksavior

can you tell me the directory structure as i couldnt figure it out before, i need to know where all roms and video/sound files need to be placed

thanks

Darksavior

@Stuart2773 The wiki has a rough layout. Again, I got it working for pc and it wasn't a good experience. I'm not going to waste my time figuring out the directory structure on the pi. No audio and it crashes when I insert coins. It's not ready.

Clyde

@Stuart2773 There's a thread about the directory structure in the git repo : https://github.com/libretro/daphne/issues/35

@Darksavior (and maybe @cyperghost ) lr-daphne builds correctly on my Pi, but fails with these errors on my pc running Kubuntu 64 bit 18.04.1. Any ideas how to solve that?

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lbcm_host
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvchostif
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:187: recipe for target 'daphne_libretro.so' failed

@darknior If this strays too much from the thread's topic, please say so and I'll open a new thread about it.

No problem, i have modify my title and first post.

But i don't have try it for the moment, i can't really understand and explain the "Directory structure" if you can explain it here in a few lines. Thanks

Clyde

@darknior As far as I derived from https://github.com/libretro/daphne and this comment from @grant2258 in the issue #35, the directory structure should be as follows, e.g. for Dragon's Lair:

../lr-daphne
|-- framefile
|   |-- lair.commands
|   |-- lair.dat
|   |-- lair.m2v
|   |-- lair.ogg
|   `-- lair.txt
`-- roms
    `-- lair.zip

The contents of lair.txt:

.

151     lair.m2v

But as bslenul said, lr-daphne exits with an segmentation fault. My steps in detail:

Install lr-daphne with @cyperghost's script.
Create the directory /RetroPie/roms/ports/lr-daphne.
Put the game files in the directory structure as mentioned above.
Create a script file /RetroPie/roms/ports/lr-daphne.sh and make it executable.
The content of lr-daphne.sh:

  /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/ports/lr-daphne/daphne_libretro.so /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/lr-daphne/

Run lr-daphne.sh:

~/RetroPie/roms/ports $ ./lr-daphne.sh 
./lr-daphne.sh: line 1: 12015 Segmentation fault      /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/ports/lr-daphne/daphne_libretro.so /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/lr-daphne/

For now, I'll let it rest until it will be included properly in RetroPie or someone comes up with another solution.

edit: two typos

darknior

@Clyde Thanks a lot, i will try it and report if it works fine for me or not.
I have Retropie 4.3 and an other with 4.4, to make the tests.

zefolhadela

is the command file really needed? i have some games running fine without commands.. dont know what i can improve by adding it

Has there been any updates on lr-daphne? I tried again, but couldn't get it to work. Has anyone have this running? I installed through cyperghost's script, but I am still completely lost on where the folder tree belongs.

Darksavior

@BiZzAr721 I wouldn't bother waiting. I tried it a few months ago on pc via retroarch. Besides the ridiculous folder structure to even get it to load, most games wouldn't load and the ones that did I wouldn't get audio and then it'd crash. Hypseus seems dead too.

BiZzAr721

@Darksavior I wasted a couple of hours trying to get it working - I was hopeful when I saw the install script! Thanks for that quick reply.

@darksavior So it looks like Hypseus just had release for version 1.30 on February 26, 2021. https://github.com/btolab/hypseus

I gave it a go on my Pi4 and nothing was even remotely playable. All the games work fine with daphne but with hypseus they were a mess.

I'd really love to see an update to daphne so I can switch my Pi4 over to the full KMS driver (vc4-kms-v3d) instead of fake KMS (vc4-fkms-v3d).

Has anyone had any luck with getting hypseus running on a pi4?
