<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports</path>
thank you for this, i will try this tomorrow.
In your es systems cfg in the path you have it installed to the roms/ports folder . not opt/retropie/ports folder.
Should i move my sorr files to home/pi/retropie/roms/ports? or should i rename the path to opt/retropie/ports?
Perhaps im getting the error because it is in opt/ directory. But this is what the guide says to do :S -
@mrbee for the es systems it will will always point to the rom folder.
for SORR you have it in the correct place if you have it in the OPT folder like the guide says

One of my favorite commercials was for SOR2
-
I have it running good on 4.5.1 on a rpi3b+ board.
Followed sinisterspatula's guide.
One issue I was having was upon running id get an error galsia.pal was not found.
After a day of fiddling I figured out that the savegame.sor file wasnt working with my setup properly. So I loaded the game onto my win10 PC and created a new savegame.sor
That has the video settings changed to windowed rather than fullscreen.
My next issue is it wont save my arcade control scheme or my high scores or saved games etc. Its not writing to savegame.sor . I tried chmod 777 the whole directory again but didnt make a difference.
Anyways thought I'd post this stuff just in case someone is looking for the galsia.pal fix -
@SinisterSpatula ok so i changed the es_systems.cfg (with the exception of having the <path> as <path>/opt/RetroPie/ports/</path> and I literally am confused at what happened next..
(bearing in mind, this game runs fine if i run it through commandline)
It has a black screen then a LOAD of text comes up, I can't seem to copy this text anywhere (not sure where it is logged to, the es log doesnt show anything related).But amongst the text is a load of random characters and things that say opt/retropie/ports/sorr/SorR.dat: line 3: $'\202\001z001': command not found
opt/retropie/ports/sorr/SorR.dat: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token '$'t\037\251p\037' '
opt/retropie/ports/sorr/SorR.dat: line 6: 'L<]◆u◆]◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆u◆ \◆◆◆◆◆◆ and then a load of stuff like random characters.what the hell init
-
@mrbee sounds like it was trying to execute sorr.dat directly? That's very strange. I don't have much more info to give you, just gave all the info on what worked for me and how I had everything set up. Something is different with your setup versus mine, but I don't know what. Maybe it's your sorr files. Maybe try doing it all from scratch, or using different sorr files.

@SinisterSpatula I made kind of "special" setup and messed up
es_systems.cfg.his setup looks like
<name>ports</name> <fullname>Ports</fullname> <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports</path> <extension>.7z .pce .ccd .chd .cue .zip .7Z .PCE .CCD .CHD .CUE .ZIP</extension> <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS ports %ROM%</command> <platform>ports</platform> <theme>ports</theme> </system>don't ask me why he did that
-
Ahh, I see. So @mrbee just set your es_systems.cfg back to like how mine is shown, and make sure your script for SORR in the roms/ports folder is good, and you should be golden. For reference, this is what should be in
/roms/ports/Streets of Rage Remake.sh#!/bin/bash "/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "sorr" "" -
thank you I will get the es systems back to as it was, i think the issue that I am having is that streets of rage remake.sh file is now missing i will have to redo it all and get that file back!
Thank you for all of the help i really appreciate it -
Hello everyone, does anyone know how to leave the game on the gamepad? It works with ESC on the keyboard. But I would like to leave it for example as with the other emulators via Start + Select?
-
@Cybermen You have to make a script with xboxdrv to map the key. I still need to do it for my system.
I think someone might of made up once but I can't remember.
I'll post mine once I get it up and working

@Solid-One I’m just trying this with Retropie 4.6 and get the following error ./bgdi-330: error while loading shared libraries: libpng.12.so.0: cannot open shared object file:!No such file or directory
I’m pretty new to Linux but tried to run Suso apt-get install libpng12.so.0 but that’s returned an E: Unable to locate package libpng12.so.0 error, I’m guessing this shared library isn’t available for Debian buster.
I tried to download an old Retropie image 3.6 but that’s not available and when I tried using the script for 3.6 on top op Raspian Lite Jessie it ran into errors and didn’t work after I ran the setup extras from jayzero.
Can anyone help with me getting this working, I’m guessing I need to get a version of libpng12 compiled on Buster or a later bgdi that’s compatible with buster ?
-
@damianiw well bit more trial and error and I have it working :-) my rpi model B is now perfect
I ran
sudo apt-get install libpng12-0
After that it ran from the command line fine and also from the Retropie menu
I’ll be repeating the same on my pi zero w soon then saving for a gpi-boy case

This solution worked for me too.

Working on Retropie Latest Version (4.6) on a RPi3b+.
The procedure is:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git
cd RetroPie-Extra/
./install-extras.sh
run Retropie-Setup script
select the experimental packages and install the Streets of Rage Remake PortAfter that I've downloaded the SORR 5.1 from a torrent seed and copied the file SorR.dat to /opt/retropie/ports/sorr
Also copied the folders below to the same location (/opt/retropie/ports/sorr):
- manual
- mod
- palettes
Then you run the game by the PORTS selection in EmulationStation choosing the game STREETS OF RAGE REMAKE.
When you run the game for the 1st time it'll ask you to choose the language (I chose English) and then the Graphic Mode Option (Chose the 1st option - NORMAL (FULL SCREEN).
That's all guys, you're able to play.
=)P.S: Unfortunately the game creator forgot to insert a QUIT GAME option at the main menu. So, you'll have to plug a USB Keyboard just for the ESC key. If somebody figures out a way to quit using START + SELECT please share.

@fredcobain currently the only way is you have to map the keys using xboxdrv. or
" There's a way to properly exit into the Ports menu. You need to grab the system.txt file inside the mod folder and choose PSP as the system to use. Surprisingly, this will allow you to choose 'Exit' in the main menu. I did notice that SoRMaker doesn't work. It causes SorR to crash into the Ports menu. That's a real bummer, because if you want to play any of the mods you need to access it. If anyone has a possible solution to this problem, please let me know."
thats from a older post that was linked in a different post. i take no credit for it
-
@ExarKunIv your solution works like a charm!
Thank you so much!
xD -
@fredcobain glad to help.

Editing system.txt in order to change system to PSP indeed shows the Exit option. However, choosing this option will prevent you to play in 2 players coop with two controllers, so I haven't used this approach.
In my case, when I want to exit SORR, I simply turn off my device (force shutdown) and turn it on again afterwards. Of course, I make sure it doesn't happen during saving times, in order to reduce possibility of data corruption. It's not a perfect solution, but at least I don't need to plug a keyboard in order to press ESC.
-
@Solid-One only other way to avoid this is to use xboxdrv to make a custom mapping for sorr. The bigger issue for me is that with the pi 4, sorr no longer scales to fill the whole screen. I'm forced to change resolution to 640x480 and reboot my pi each time I want to play it.
