OpenBOR 3400 & 6315 game list compatibility

cyperghost

@darknior I tried older builds (<4xxx) are not available from source
and I tried to compile the earliest version (4432) but failed in compiling.

So I think we have to stick on 6xxx releases, maybe some older versions 5xxx will work, too. Never tried these....

darknior

@cyperghost Arf other versions than 3979 or 4107 will not help us :(
All the games are working fine after these versions...
Maybe you can ask for source code on Chronocrash Forum ?
There is nothing on Source Forge ? I don't have search for it.

cyperghost

@darknior Well I think CC forum will deny this for knowen reasons. Maybe there are some pieces left on source forge - never searched for this, too.

@cyperghost I've make a post there if it can help : http://www.chronocrash.com/forum/index.php?topic=4132.0

A while back (I searched page by page in @darknior 's original thread - it was only a month ago) I posted a link to older builds I found on sourceforge. @cyperghost You mentioned it may only be useful for dingux. I took it as there was no use since we had newer, more capable versions.

I don't know if it would now be relevant but here is that link again: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openbor/files/Previous Releases/
Edit
Copy and paste link - hyperlink would not work due to the space in /previous releases/

Thanks, i know this page, but there are only compiled versions. We are searching for source code to build it on PI.

The recent source code of OpenBoR are hosted on github (https://github.com/DCurrent/openbor)
You will find source code tagged with release number.
I built the 4153 version for the Pandora device and Double Dragon Reloaded Alternate mod.
I have to release it on the Pandora repo. Could try to build this version for the Pi ?

I also built several other versions to have mods compatibility.

@fantomid Thx for mentioning but

@cyperghost wrote some threads above ....

So realease codes earlier then 41xx are lost :(
Never tried the 4153 build to compile but I think it will not work on Raspberry :(
4432 was no success

Don't forget that PANDORA is ready setted in the makefile, not so for Raspberry ... there we need some modifications. Maybe @zanac can tell more to this ;)

fantomid

@cyperghost, I made the builds with CMake and changed source files to customize the control-keys' name.
Don't know if the CMakeFiles.txt could be adapted to build a working version for the Pi.

darknior

WOAW if it can be possible to have the 4153 version to play Double Dragon Reloaded Alternate on PI it will be fantastic :D

@darknior @cyperghost The fine people over at ScreenScraper.fe have added OpenBOR to their database. I suggested OpenBOR over on discord and within 48 hours it was on there! (z-machine was added as well) I have been trying to do my part and add all the meta data I can scrounge up on a per game basis. @oilusionista I want to give the mod developers the credit they deserve.

I thought you all may enjoy this. Hope all is well - hopefully we'll be seeing a new stable build soon!

Thanks for this work :)

nice! they look ace, can they be scraped?

does anybody else find he-man really sluggish on that latest 6xxx build? (i'm on a 3b+, no overclocking)

BiZzAr721

@agboju_logun Yes, they can be scraped! I use Skraper, and I had clear the cache so it would repopulate systems list. I am just finishing up the final round of missing mods to be added to the database which I will probably be submitting tomorrow night.

Also, He-man pushes OpenBOR to the limits using nearly every feature available, which is why it runs sluggish.

@BiZzAr721 I tried to give OpenBOR an official place to the script setup by some PR. Sadly it seems not to be integrated.

agboju_logun

@BiZzAr721 thanks for the reply. i’ve not seen skraper before, will have a look into it.

BiZzAr721

@cyperghost I know, such a shame not to integrate it

It's really so bad ... i don't understand the Retropie Team :(

If i use your installer here : https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19326/openbor-6xxx-openbeta-testphase/180

Can we update our OpenBOR from the last source code like any emulator from Retropie ?
Sorry for the stupid question but i break my right hand in January and stop a lot to work on computer :(

@BiZzAr721 @darknior

I think it would be easily possible of the official ones from chronocrash would take part and ...

i don't understand the Retropie Team

... would support a legal "RetroPie branch". I think our moderators are aware of rising support that is needed for this and indeed I can't support it because if something will fail (hardware support or whatever) on our Raspberry we are stuck and the only one who can provide better support ( @zanac ) is missing since end of 2018. Moreover OpenBOR is totally underated between other platforms so there is less awareness - but this is only my opinion.

Yes with the scriptmodule but therefore I need to patch the files and upload them to my git. So we have a 6512-dev from Oct 2018 as latetst version on our Pie.
I will make a new patch if the 6512 is out of dev state.

Oh dear ... hope you are well. But take this is chance work on your left hand. It's not a problem to even write with the left hand. Just a bit of training ;)
And... then you can also get in touch with 8bit mashines like, Commodore, Sinclair, Amstrad because you only need direction and one button -> Flightstick joypad ;)
