      Oh, I should note that this is off of my older RetroPie running Raspbian Jessie. I've been working on building a new 3B+ with Stretch but haven't got everything up and running like I want yet ;)

          Personally I think either would work but you wouldn't want to upset the Grammar "Autocratics".

          I think I edit that correctly but still getting error Hunk #4 FAILED at 572.

            @backstander arghh well I have no PC to go deeper into that issue - Just tablet. So Iwould add just the -lGL switch to line 572 in makefile and compile the whole thing. Please add dependencies according to script module or the openbeta script before compiling

              Oh that could be an issue. I hadn't gotten that far because I was still stuck on the patching haha

                Hi@all,

                how can I stop background music from emulationstation as soon as openbor beta is running and get back to it after stopping obenbor?

                  @OliB If you're using the Python script for the background music, make sure you add the OpenBor executable filename to the list of emulators, so the script knows when it's started.

                        I guess I must do it at this section:

                        #TODO: Fill in all of the current RetroPie Emulator process names in this list.
                        emulatornames =

                        But, what is the correct name of openbor beta? Is it "OpenBOR OPENBETA" Same as the .sh file is named?

                        THX

                            @mitu openbor is already there. Try it with openebor-beta now
                            But did you think the section in the script is the right one?

                              Yes, there should be just one section with the emulator names.

                                @mitu @OliB No... it's OpenBOR
                                For that reason I don't like the python-script, every call has to be checked twice. Hence there will be a BGM Player inside ES I prefer and recommend the mpg123 method ;)

                                      @OliB You're welcome
                                      It would be better if the py script would check for a file like mutebgm
                                      This file is created by runcommand-onstart.sh and will be removed by runcommand-onend
                                      But I do not use that script so my interest in improve this script is very low. Maybe if I find some time.

                                          Hi guys I need help. Im running retropie 4.4.4 on Pi3b+. I've Installed the newest branch
                                          from: wget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta/master/scriptmodules/openbor-6xxx.sh -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx.sh
                                          After Restart ES, I go to ports menu and there was an entry named "OpenBor Beats of Rage Engine. After Start I, get this screen (see pic1)1pic.jpg

                                          Is this really the 6xxxxx Version?

                                          THX

                                            @OliB I think this is the normal screen when you start OpenBOR without parameters.
