OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase

@shavecat The 3400 is needed for some older modules. The 3400 is based on SDL1 and is less resource intensive (so a good choice for RPI1/0, too)

The difference between 6315 and 6510 are just minor. Some bug fixes, some improvements. All in all it does not matter... The 6315 is the first version that was ported to Raspberry. I think I will update the source code all 3-6 month.

@cyperghost
Thanks for the answer ,
will love the update think everyone will love it.
Take your time everything is working for now anyway :))

Sorry but I'm havign problems trying to update the retropie setup script and while trying it sais something about openbor having a conflict about it, I'm not in my home by now but just mentioning about it, did someone else has this same issue at some point?

BiZzAr721

@mahcneto Yes. Setup script will not update when a file has been manually altered. SSH into your pi & go to /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/ folder and just delete the script (backup if you'd like to put it back). When you update it will replace the files with the one from the RetroPie repository.

mahcneto

Ok man thanks a lot!

@BiZzAr721 @darknior @zanac
There seems to be a bit of stagnation into the Source Code development in OpenBOR. They are still working on version 6510. We have an older 6510-dev branch active in RetroPie. I think I will wait for the next releases until we have a finshed codebase ;)

Hi everyone, and especially @cyperghost

Sorry for what I guess is a stupid question, but I would like to try to port your OpenBor version to Recalbox, or at least start preliminary work on it (I have never done such work yet), so I wanted to start from a binary, and go from there before going through the compilation process.

I saw the link for binaries in first post but they just seem to link to further posts in the thread, themselves leading to first post in the thread ?
I am missing something and how to get binaries ?

Thank you for you help

EDIT : Hmm ok I suppose it's there : https://github.com/crcerror/RetroPie-OpenBOR-scripts/tree/master/binary

cyperghost

@Voljega yes that is the binary archive but it works only for Jessie and Stretch builds of Raspbian. You need additional libraries to get OpenBOR working. The possibilities of installing additional software is very limited on Recalbox and Bactocera builds.
I asked for help on RB and BC forums - no response ... So I would be glad if you can make some effort in porting this engine to other OSes.
Good luck

@cyperghost Been a while! I just received an 8bitDo SN30Pro controller as a gift, so I decided to make some more joypad configs as well as update the older since [gamename].bor.cfg configurations weren't compatible with the latest OpenBOR.

8bitDo has different modes so I created profiles for them all (wired & Bluetooth)

8bitDo (Switch Pro Controller BT).cfg
8bitDo (android wired).cfg
8bitDo (android BT).cfg
8bitDo (macOS wired).cfg
8bitDo (X-input wired & BT).cfg
PS3 (Wired).cfg
PS3 (Wireless).cfg
SNES Clone (tata).cfg

By the way, your OpenBOR-3400 failed to compile. I didn't spend any time looking into it, but here is the log I snagged in case your curious.

I'll keep those configs up for a while for whoever could use them. Standard config, w/ keyboard set to Player 2.

cyperghost

@BiZzAr721 Thx for the control set. I will include them
About the scriptmodule - I removed the tools packages. This caused the errors. Maybe you can reinstall und report?

BiZzAr721

I tried with your updated script and still did not complete. The error when it exits back to RetroPie-Setup is:

Could not successfully build openbor-3400 - OpenBOR - Beat 'em Up Game Engine v3400 (unsupported!)
(/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/openbor-3400/OpenBOR not found)

Here is the log

cyperghost

@BiZzAr721 It seems to be a failure in compiling. Can not look at it now but you can try to download ready compiled binary from here
The error causes this is

Makefile:240: recipe for target 'openbor.o' failed

Missing dependencies?

BiZzAr721

No worries. My main intent on re installing it was to check if the new controller configs work with the updated 3400.

@2Play That's okay so far. Did you download the latest version from OpenBOR or did you use my branch?

The one from you

How to compile
Download OpenBOR from here https://github.com/DCurrent/openbor
Go to folder "engine"
Now get patch by using wget -q --show-progress "http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-Raspberry/master/patch/latest_build.diff"
Apply patch with patch -p0 -i latest_build.diff
Compile with make BUILD_PANDORA=1
Place your GLlib next to OpenBOR binary!

cyperghost

@2Play Haha ... The patch was prepared by me but you were able to compile the newest dev branch from version 6510. Congratulations! Maybe you want to share created binary?

Winklepicker

I was wondering can someone tell me the best version of OpenBOR to use for Raspberry pi?

Also how would I go about installing that onto the PI, if anyone can point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Any chance the newest/best version of OpenBOR will eventually be made officially into Retropie for easy install?

thanks

@Winklepicker The way to install is all written in first topic. I don't know what is the BEST verison for you. But I can assure you that all version beyond the RetroPie standard version is always better ....

v3400 (RetroPie) is an old decrapted version you need to unpack the addon files (I don't recommend this)
v3400 in this thread is also old and unsupported but uses PAK files for input
v6315 was the first verions build with patched files
The newest branch is dev-6510 if you compile on yourself

@backstander ~~Can you post please Makefile.rej~~ there seems an error with compile flag settings but all in all you can build and compile OpenBOR.
Nice to see you back in action ;)

Located the error
Please use nano and edit the patchfile and remove

-= -Wl,-rpath,$(LIBRARIES) -lSDL2 -lSDL2_gfx
+= -Wl,-rpath,$(LIBRARIES) -lSDL2 -lSDL2_gfx -lGL

exchange to


-= -Wl,-rpath,$(LIBRARIES) -lSDL2
+= -Wl,-rpath,$(LIBRARIES) -lSDL2  -lGL

Anyway it should run with the resulted binary.
The OpenBOR devs seem to have changed the makefile. Thanks for feedback...
It's line 100+ in patchfile ;) Thanks for reporting....

Can you please give a feedback if the newest version will run on your system?
