        @retropi19 Good work. The more the better. As long as we can keep on bringing more source ports, it will benefit the RetroPie project and expand the possibilities. Could you perhaps share your work?

        My way of doing this is:

          1. Follow instructions from developers site/repo and make sure dependencies requirements are met.
          1. Download from source and try to compile into making a working binary.
          1. Testing and deciding if the source port is good enough for RetroPie project.
          1. Create a working scriptmodule. Test the scriptmodule and make sure it complies with RetroPie setup.
          1. Create github repository and upload scriptmodule, screenshots and other information.
          1. Create topic on RetroPie for the selected source port and share it with the RetroPie community.

            @retropi19 Are you going to be posting any of the install scripts for the ones who are not any good and compiling.

                I have very good memories from playing Tremulous and OpenArena like 10-15 years ago, do they work fine on the Pi ?

                    @retropi19 That is some good progress.

                    Are you going to fork and create a pull request at the RetroPie Setip Git repo for all these ports scriptmodules?

                    Dune Legacy is one of the source ports im trying to get to work with building a scriptmodule for. Did you happen to fix the flickering in-game screen?

                      @tpo1990 no the flickering is not possible to fix yet i installed one version down that works fine, there is a solution in the page about but i dont understand it maybe you can figure it out its in the middle of the page
                      https://sourceforge.net/p/dunelegacy/bugs/75/

                      unfortunate i dont know how to create pull requests

                        @retropi19 Actually the flickering is very possible to fix. It is simple as changing one line for SDL renderer.

                        I have already figured it out and fixed it by that same link, but i do not have my Pi with me at the moment. I would also like to test your Dune Legacy scriptmodule. :-)

                            @retropi19 The file that you are looking for should be the Game.cpp which is located in the src folder.
                            File path: ./src/Game.cpp

                            The line that you want to change is the SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);

                            Change it to the following and save the Game.cpp file.

                            //SDL_RenderPresent(renderer);
                            

                            Compile Dune Legacy again from source and you should have a working binary without the flickering in-game.

                            Urban Terror brings me good memories. I tried using Quake3 and Urban Terror as a mod with only getting into the menu without working gameplay. It might be possible to compile Urban Terror as a standalone game.

                              @retropi19 the only one i would really be interested in would be dune legacy.
                              i would play about with the others just to see what they are.

                                  @tpo1990 @ExarKunIv Here is the link for dunelegacy script

                                  its a simple script nothing special it installs the depends and the deb file from sourceforge and adds a shortcut in ports for the game
                                  i did not put inside to download the demo you can add it if you want or add any other enhancement

                                  urban terror is just terror to install i found this page that you can install the client without the need of quake 3 files if you can take a look at it and maybe you can make it possible

                                      @shavecat If you want to try it yourself, you need to know how to compile and build a binary from source on linux.

                                      All of them works on Raspberry Pi, but we need to compile and test it first before a scriptmodule can be created. Just be patient.

                                        I already have Dave Gnukem and OpenClaw working on my test Raspberry Pi.
                                        Heroes of Might and Magic 2 is also working.

                                        The source port that works best of them is Dave Gnukem. Dave Gnukem runs great. Heroes of Might and Magic 2 runs slow in gameplay in framebuffer mode. It works best in desktop. OpenClaw is playable with some lag. Assaultcube needs to be tested again.

                                        One thing to note is that it takes time to do all the work in building a working scriptmodule and make it a reality on our Raspberry Pi.

                                        Thanks for the script and the link. It might be worth checking out Urban Terror standalone edition and see if we can get it to build.

                                            @shavecat Alright then just wait. I dedicate my free time into making it happen. My goal is to expand the RetroPie experience with making more source ports available.

                                            Developer of install scripts for ports such as Hexen 2, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Caesar III. See my other projects at my profile.
