Openbor on usb

mitu

My guess is your USB key is FAT32 formatted and it doesn't support the executable bit for extract.sh (hence the error). Try extracting the OpenBor games before transferring them to the USB.

wsamael

ok i'll try this solution but I don't really how I can do that. Do I make a script for extract and move then finish, I cant' extract to my usb directly ?

mitu

@wsamael The extract script is created by the install script in /opt/retropie/ports/openbor/extract.sh. You copy your .pak files in the ports/openbor folder and then execute it - it will create a folder for each .pak gamefile.

You can use this script here to extract your PAKs

i've see this script but how do i use it ? do i lunch it by
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/RetroPie-OpenBOR-scripts/master/extract.sh ?

( this script is the v0.67 is it better ? ) and if I wanna make my rom in /media/usb/roms/ports/openbors where do I make the directory ?

cyperghost

@wsamael No you lunch usually no scripts

you download it with the wget command and and then you excute with bash

wsamael

@cyperghost ok Thanks :) I 'll try this as soon as I can :)

ps: just one last question ( I hope ^^ ) where do I change the files directory to put mine (/media/usb/roms/ ports/openbor ) ?
I must change this line
" BORROM_DIR="/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor" "

cyperghost

@wsamael Yes the script looks for your *.pak files in the directory you mentioned, so change the path here.

wsamael

it doesn' twork :( the game has created in th efolder, it's not appear in openbor. that work with

BORROM_DIR="/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor"

but it's not with

BORROM_DIR="/media/usb0/roms/ports/openbor" work with

in the both of them, that extract the game but in "usb" i can't launch it

ps sorry about my english i hope you understand me ;)

donc au final je me demande si le soucis n'est pas dans les reglage d'openbor car c'est lui qui ne les voit pas mais je ne voit pas ou le modifier .

cyperghost

@wsamael Is there any error during extraction?
How do you launch the OpenBOR?

wsamael

I think is no error during extraction

And I try to launch OPB with the ES Menu (like another system ) or I try to launch in ports menu an Ports menu but that dosn't work

i saw it in es menu but if I launch it that launch opb menu and may rom dosn't appear

wsamael

asterix it's ok (on sd card) but street fighter ( on usb key) dosn't work . If I launch it, that launch opb and not Street fighter

( I hope you understand what i mean )

cyperghost

@wsamael The OpenBOR engine you are using is very old. That may be the reason that Asterix (also an old BOR title) works and Street Fighter maybe not. Did you try to extract Asterix on USB key, too?

wsamael

@cyperghost
No Astérix is extract on sd card with your script in/home/pi/RetroPie/.... and it's work good

How can i update openbor ? I've install it bye retropie-setup ?

wsamael

sorry , yes I try to extract asterix on usb ans it's not ok, but if I extract street fighter on sd , it's work good

cyperghost

@wsamael Please post following

data of /opt/retropie/configs/ports/openbor/emulators.cfg

There should be this entry (The %ROM% is vital)

openbor= "pushd /opt/retropie/ports/openbor; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor/OpenBOR %ROM%; popd"
default = "openbor"

And your es_system.cfg should contain the following part

<name>openbor</name>
    <fullname>OpenBOR</fullname>
    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor</path>
    <extension>.bor .BOR</extension>
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _PORT_ openbor %ROM%</command>
    <platform>pc</platform>
    <theme>openbor</theme>

Can you check?
