      I was going to ask for a port of Ion Fury but it's already available on retropie-setup. Runs too slow as is on my oc'd pi4 but changing to software renderer makes it faster but uglier. Oh, well..

        openarena does not work anymore from raspbian lite buster

        upon running it,the os stucks

        i use this method for years now:

        sudo apt-get install openarena
        wget http://www.berryterminal.com/dl/ioquake3_99.1.36-rpi01_armhf.deb
        sudo dpkg -i ./ioquake3_99.1.36-rpi01_armhf.deb

        to run: sudo /usr/games/openarena

          @retropi19 It looks like you are trying to install a deb file.

          Try looking on the Openarena website and see if you can find a newer .deb installation file and see if it that works. You could also try to download and compile from the latest source.

          Do you get any sort of errors when trying to run openarena?

              @retropi19 Maybe your RetroPie system is missing some important dependencies that openarena requires.

              It could also be, that it tries to run the game with OpenGL and that it has not been enabled on your RPI otherwise your best bet would probably be to compile from source to get it working again.

                tpo1990 do you happen to know how many are the systems/games you can put on a pi-zero until it starts to loosing it? (lagging,no loading,crashing etc) what is the limit?

                  @retropi19 I cannot say as i don't own a Pi Zero, but i would think that the hardware specifications on the Pi Zero will show the limit as to what games runs smooth or not.

                  You can see it when comparing ex. Pi 3B with a Pi Zero where it is known that a Pi Zero will not be able to run PSX games like the Pi 3B will. I know for infact that i reached the limit with trying to run Aliens versus Predator
                  1999 after i was able to compile and make it working. It was really slow like 1-5 fps max which i suspect the opengl renderer for.

                    pi zero can run really good psx games with the pcsx rearmed emulator not the lr one the other one,i was trying in the berryboot image of retropie for zero that apparently is problematic compared to the normal version that the bugs simply are not there.

                      @retropi19 A zero has to use inferior/older emulators so the overall experience will generally not be great. For me anyways.

                        @retropi19 That is something I was not aware of. I have also tried out berryboot earlier on my Pi 3B. While it did work it just was not a great experience as something seemed to be missing in the berryboot image of RetroPie. I have ever since moved away from it and been using PINN. PINN is an enhanced NOOBS bootloader. It works really good and it suit my needs.

                        Keep in mind that most compiling on Linux is trial and error. You just got to try it out and see if it works or not. :-)

                          pinns is nice but the images/OS are huge in size so far i dont have problems with the berryboot image for rpi3,

                          Did you ported any other game ?

                          any luck with captain claw? do you have any instructions that work?

                            @retropi19 i didn't notice the images/OS file size since i'm using a 64 gb micro sd card.

                            I haven't ported or gotten any other source port to work since the summer season earlier this year.

                            I was only lucky once to get Captain Claw compiled and built into a working binary that you could run directly from the CLI Command Line or Framebuffer mode. I did try it again but failed to compile. I might do it some time again.

                            Keep in mind that the sourceport OpenClaw runs but not completely smooth. It does in fact seem that we could get it to work with being able to start it up from the Ports section in Emulationstation.

                              @tpo1990 can you create a script module for captain claw and put it in your github page?

                                @retropi19 Only if i can get it to compile into a working binary that we can run. I won't release anything that doesn't work unless it has a specific purpose.

                                    @retropi19 No not yet as my Pi3B is running official RetroPie with Stretch. I'm mostly aimed at getting the ports to work on official stable releases.

                                      @tpo1990 you can just try it only to see if it works

                                      a lot of things run faster in buster eg retropie loads faster

                                            @retropi19 That sounds promising but at the moment i'm not seeing the need to try it out yet.

                                            @Cesarpuig Cool. It is probably just a matter of time when it gets optimized enough to be able to have a stable release for RPI. It may even run better on a RPI 4B.
