      @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.

                      @tpo1990 can you create a scriptmodule for log2ram for retropie

                        @retropi19 I only create scriptmodules for working ports after i have tested them. This log2ram probably need some testing and benchmarking to see how it performs and work on a RPI. Since my time is limited i cannot do this. Maybe someone else can.

                            I run xash3d at a resolution of 800x600 from runcomand and from the video mode options of the Half-Life menu.

                            I have also configured from the Half-Lihe video options menu:

                            Bump-mapping Off

                            Use VBO Off

                            Draw simple sky On

                            Allow Materials Off

                            And edited file \opt\retropie\ports\xash3d\Xash3D.sh to disable console:

                            LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Half-Life /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Half-Life/xash3d -clientlib cl_dlls/client.so -dll dlls/hl.so
                            

                            And I have installed the extras fron there:

                            https://github.com/FWGS/xash-extras.git

                            Run fine for me, in a RPI3B whit overclock.

                            Sorry for my English

                              @Cesarpuig Great work, I need to test it out as well. I think your configuration will do it nicely.

                              I just received my Raspberry Pi 4B with 4 gb ram from Black Friday. Now the testing on a RPI4B can begin. :-)

                              If Xash3D runs well on your RPI3B with overclock. Did you try to run it without overclock to see how it perform?

                                @tpo1990 i played a little with it. there is some slowdown depending on whats going on.
                                you can see it in the intro when you are on the train.
                                there are a few parts that it slows down.

                                i have not gotten any farther then that really. i did run the hazard coarse and that was playable

                                  Hello.

                                  I have tried without overclock and it works very well sporadically and for a short time you can freeze the game. But rarely.

                                  To install the dependencies I will not use the original script line, if not the following:

                                  sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxext-dev libfontconfig1-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-net-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-image-dev
                                  

                                  This is the overclock if it were useful:

                                  #uncomment to overclock the arm. 700 MHz is the default.
                                  arm_freq=1400
                                  over_voltage=6
                                  gpu_freq=525
                                  core_freq=525
                                  sdram_freq=550
                                  sdram_schmoo=0x02000020
                                  over_voltage_sdram_p=6
                                  over_voltage_sdram_i=4
                                  over_voltage_sdram_c=4
                                  
                                  #uncomment to increased the sdcard reader speed (No default)
                                  dtparam=sd_overclock=100

                                    Sounds good enough as long as the game doesn't freeze upon gameplay it should be fine. I hope that we can run it without overclock since i think a lot of RetroPie users probably won't overclock their Pi for normal usage. At least the majority of the users that only uses it for casual gaming.

                                    Any tweak or optimization to a port is always welcome and greatly appreciated. Thank you.

                                          @retropi19 Why would you want to run Win95 / Win98 on RetroPie?

                                          Dosbox exists already in RetroPie. Can't you just install dosbox from RetroPie setup and then somehow mount a Win95/Win98 ISO file to get to the installation of Windows 95/98?

                                          I'm not sure of how you will be able to do this. I haven't tried running Windows 95 / Windows 98 on a Raspberry Pi, but it probably is possible enough to run it via emulation.

                                          @BadFurDay I have already tried a long time ago at compiling OpenRA into a working binary and I failed with it. I could just not get it to compile properly. Maybe it was due to some missing dependencies or missing packages that needs to be installed in Raspbian. I still though think it will be possible to get the game to run some day, since I have gotten Dune 2 to run from Dune Legacy port.
