OpenBor Module

mitu

OpenBor has been enabled now for PI4 based system - you can give it a try. Don't forget to update your RetroPie-Setup script first, otherwise it will stay disabled.

@mitu Thank you. I enjoy my Beat em ups and others using OpenBOR. I was inquiring as I am in the process of transferring my info from my Pi3 to my Pi4. I realize the Pi4 image is just in premature stages before the release. I don't think I am the correct candidate for testing this for you folks. OpenBOR seems to have moved on signifcantly for versions and I'm not quite caught up yet. There is this thread OpenBOR - OpenBETA that explains how to move further with it that I haven't tried yet. Maybe somebody with more experience with it could test it for you folks. Thanks for adding it.

Hello !

I tried it today on my Pi4 (weekly build image) and it seems that it doesn't start at all !

Someone else tried ?

mitu

@Trauma I did try and it started for me. Can you post your log file - /dev/shm/runcommand.log ?

@mitu
I've an old fork available in my github account this supports PAK files the engine version should be the same as the one used in RetroPie

@mitu I did try to install OpenBor on my Pi4, but it does not start. I get this screen

The /dev/shm/runcommand.log shows this:

Parameters:
Executing: SDL1_VIDEODRIVER=dispmanx pushd /opt/retropie/ports/openbor; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor/OpenBOR; popd
/opt/retropie/ports/openbor ~

@mitu I've got the very same screen and log as @saccublenda

mitu

That's strange, I get that screen without the dispmanx driver being added to the command line - that was the whole reason it was added. Needs more testing then.

mitu

Ok, there's should be a fix for this error - update the RetroPie-Setup script and re-install the openbor module, the screen resolution should be fine now.

@mitu Openbor launch succesfully now, however when I select a game (.pak) I come back to ES menu, it doesn't launch the game.

We're almost there. ! :p

mitu

@Trauma I don't think this is how it works - AFAIR .pak files must be unpacked first.

Trauma

My mistake, it's working now :)

Thank you guys !

@mitu It's working for me too now. Thanks for fixing this.
