Streets of rage remake install help

YAY it's now working :)

Pad appears to work fine but is there anyway of being able to pause the game via the controller and how can I quit out to retropie menu again?

Charco

@addyb Start button pauses. The only way to exit is by pressing the Esc key on a connected keyboard.

I had to remap pause to start button as it wouldn't work for me. Thanks for the heads up on the esc:)

I would like to thank Floob and anyone else that's assisted me in this. I apologise. Acted like the noob I am. Still at least it's been a good learning experience and I'm now a bit more clued up on commands etc.

Charco

@addyb no need to apologise, this is exactly what the forum is for. Now go and enjoy the greatest beat 'em up ever created!

Is there any way to edit the movement D-pad controls? I'm using a PS3 controller and only the Analogs can be used for moving, quite lame for this kind of game :)

@Charco or anyone are you able to select your character version (SOR2, SOR3)? It doesn't work for me. There aren't any arrows on the character portraits.

Update: Apprently someone installed it with more characters and the appropriate capability of selecting the different versions of characters from across the trilogy at the 1:12 mark.

GreenHawk84

So thinking I could possibly get these alternate sprites working I copied the rest of the files from my Sorr50 zip file to opt/retropie/ports/sorr. This did not change anything. I also went ahead and replaced the Sorr.dat 5.0 with the 5.1 version, which I thought was buggy, but appears to be OK now (this game acts so weird). It did not reset my settings or give me "first time run" screen where you select the language.

When I first installed SorR 5.0 I noticed that the Axel version was from SoR3. Something changed when I updated to 5.1 and now he is Axel from SoR2 but with the SoR3 portrait. I have no idea what is going on. The games plays just fine though (I think). The dude that got all those sprite versions and characters working said he copied his save file from his PC to the RPi. I still think the base SorR 5.0 installation is suppose to include alternate sprites for Axel, Skate, etc..

Charco

@GreenHawk84 The game starts with the SoR3 versions on first playthrough. When you complete the game and earn Store Points you can unlock the SoR1 and SoR2 versions of the characters, and any of the additional characters like Rudra, Shiva etc. You must have had a savefile with those characters unlocked on one of your installs and not the other.

To change character versions, press the "Police" button over the character on the player select screen. As you said, a little arrow appears on the character selection box if an alternate version has been unlocked. Hope this helps :)

EDIT: You can choose the portrait type in the game options too, so you can switch to whichever you prefer.

Man every time I come in here there is something cool to do that Floob posts. Love it! I just followed the video on this one and got everything running. Only one problem I ran into is I don't use a keyboard at all on my set up I have it all controlled by a Logitech F310. This is the first game I installed that I can't figure out how to exit back to RetroPie main menu with controller. Any tips? Thanks

dishins

@plasmah77 i'm using a gamepad also, at least in the first run you have to use a keyboard to map your controllers, after that your good to go without a keyboard.

@dishins How do you exit sorr with your controller?

dishins

@plasmah77 that really depends on your button mappings, i just press start, quit to the main menu and then select exit, that brings me back to emulationstation.

ps: there's a file inside mod folder, config.txt, set it to PSP and the exit option should appear on the menu.

GreenHawk84

@Charco thank you for the info. Do you use ver. 5.1?

plasmah77

@dishins Thanks, I must have not seen the Exit on the main menu of sorr. I will boot it up later and check.

Thanks for the trick, but if we do it, we can only play alone, the Two Player is removed from the menu :( :( :(

I have a Hacked Save of this game, from a long years lol ... i try it on PI and it works fine.
With it you will have all characters, all weapons, mods and access to SORMaker : savegame.sor

Replace your file in : /opt/retropie/configs/ports/sorr

Now we can access the SORMaker i try it because i have a good selection of mods, but when i enter this menu and select NEw Game, it exit SORR :(
Is some one here already try some mods on PI ?
Thanks

REK607

Could someone sum up the topic? I'm very interested but I'm getting a bit lost... I'm not very good (yet) with linux and retropie :-P I'm pretty sure many users would appreciate this, this is a very good game.

The recent upgrade of the engine to v333 has fixed SORMaker's crashing, worked for me to select the default prototype SORMaker game, anyways.

zerojay

For other SORMaker games, you just need to copy them into the mods folder but make sure the folder name for each game is written in lowercase letters. It seems like a quirk of the game engine that it always assumes it's running on a case insenstive file system, so it always loads mods by using the lowercase name.
