@tpo1990 IAM !:))
@retropi19
OpenClaw&Dave will be Awesome to run thank u !
JAZZ 2 !!! wish it will run it .
also gods deluxe really old & famous :)

[tpo1990]

@retropi19 Yes the building instructions are the same that i tried to used.

Jazz2 Resurrection could work, if you can get it to build without using opengl es, but im not sure about it, since it looks like it uses Open GL ES version 3 which the Raspberry Pi does not support.

[retropi19]

@tpo1990 i can give it a try there is sometimes the option before you run a game eg --help to give you the available commands eg disable ogl
or its just like openarena that uses full opengl from command line
also when i run a game first time i use startx before eg: startx widelands it bypass the need for opengl sometimes and run the game

tpo1990 what is the most common command you use to build a port make or make -j ??

by the way jazz2 is not working opengl needed

[retropi19]

Hey tpo1990 i got into a lot of error running captain claw

can you describe me your build process and what files and were exactly you put from the original game? or more easy for you if you have made an sh file or even more easy if you have anywere uploaded the compiled version

thanks

@tpo1990 @retropi19
What about this one to port? GRIDWARS!

[retropi19]

@cyperghost

here are building instructions
https://github.com/mmatyas/GridWars

[cyperghost]

@retropi19 I think you did not read the thread I've posted ;) I know how to run this but it's a choppy build. So maybe you both can make it work?

[retropi19]

@cyperghost install xorg and run it with eg startx gridwars or whatever the name is

also try gridwars --help to get the list of available commands
and reduce resolution/graphics quality dont run it at full hd res
as i see from your post the game is a pain to make it work good luck
what raspberry pi do you have 2 or 3?

[retropi19]

Maybe anyone knows this i installed the legend of edgar and run it normal with: edgar
it runs fullscreen but its flickering then i run it with startx edgar it does not flickering but it runs in a small screen in the middle
i pass-though it to work with rucommand small screen again
any ideas ??

Trying to make an assault cube server but im trying to do it from source and not from the downloaded files since the files are dated from 2013 and the source from 2018
are there any instructions about?
all the info i can find online is only by build from the download files :

AssaultCube_v1.2.0.2.source.tar.bz2
AssaultCube_v1.2.0.2.tar.bz2

[tpo1990]

@retropi19 I usually just use cmake and make and if the source ports has building instructions for linux/source, i just follow that instead.

Some source ports relies directly on OpenGL and can therefore not be run on a Raspberry Pi. Take for example GZDoom which is the OpenGL version of ZDoom.

Let me look into Captain Claw and see if i can find out what i did.

[retropi19]

@tpo1990 thanks do i follow the original info to build the server from here for example after i git clone the repository or i change something?
since i get the files with git and not with wget

https://developer-blog.net/en/assault-cube-server-on-raspberry-pi/

Nevermind i will make the server normal too much mind breaking

thanks for claw

More Ports from zerojay fixed and working: fofix , bloboats and hurrican with opengl

also Xmoto working with opengl

after a lot of tests finally urban terror v3x is functional with opengl
unfortunate any newer version is not possible to work yet

@retropi19 said in Suggestions for ports:

this scripts are made for retropie if and when they become available you will have the change to install them from there, now if you want a specific port i can give it to you

Did you mean chance to install them? Do you have plans to push them into the official retropie repo?

[retropi19]

tpo1990 can push them for me since i dont know the way,any specific port you want?

[bloodykean]

@retropi19 the best way it will be to send the install scripts to @tpo1990 and he will know what to do😁

I might have an idea on how to do it since i did need to learn it the hard way on how to use github and how to make a pull request from RetroPie setup git repository that i forked from. I did it first for Hexen 2 and now all that is left is to merge my pull request into the RetroPie setup git repository, so that it will be an official part of RetroPie ;-)
