        I'm kinda shocked OpenBOR isn't more embraced by Retropie as perhaps a pre-installed System with its own menu and Metadata etc, all users would have to do is add .paks. OpenBOR is amazing, I play it on PC where it's easy to install and access.

          OpenBOR and Solarus are awesome systems but they're not emulation, I think that's why many people don't care too much about them.

            @cyperghost @darknior I just reinstalled OpenBOR on a mini arcade project my daughter & I made.
            Scriptmodule for experimental install worked great for openbor-6xxx. I received an error installing openbor-3400, but I had a backup of the binary so just inserted that. I can pull a log if you'd like (that just sounds so wrong lol)

            Anyway, I updated a bunch of mods and when I played Double Dragon Reloaded Alternate v4.0.4 from Maggas I was pleasantly surprised to see this:

              I wish OpenBOR was naturally its own system on Retropie without all the hoops.

              I am looking in experimental and I only see OpenBOR but not 6XXX to get new stuff running.

                @cyperghost Is it yours? https://github.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta/tree/master/scriptmodules
                I tried to update openbor-6xxx but it no longer comes out in retropie-update. What do I have to do to get it in retropie-setup?

                  @snock You can copy scriptmodule to RetroPie install... then it works again.
                  @BiZzAr721 Never updated the old 3400-fork. I just use old binaries like you maybe a package is missing.

                    Has anyone tried 6xxx on a pi 4? The script installs ok but when running the .sh from the ports section just returns to emulationstation. Runcommand log just shows:

                      These are the legacy/proprietary GL drivers, they will not work on the Pi4.

                        @SinisterSpatula @cyperghost I'm sorry I didn't answer but I had personal problems that kept me apart ...
                        I know it's too late but here I leave my little contribution, I made a fork of your github and added everything necessary to work in a zero / 1, I hope you don't mind:
                        https://github.com/julenvitoria/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta
                        A year ago it was working perfect but today I tried to reinstall it in fresh install of retropie 4.6 on RPi 4 and it does not appear in the menu of experimental packages through retropie setup. I don't quite understand what exactly is retropie install that you mentioned three posts above.

                        @snock did you get it to appear in experimental packages?

                        Thx

                          @cyperghost Thanks for all your hard work on this!

                          Since this thread is a few years old now, would it be possible for you to post a quick breakdown of current steps needed to get this to run on a Raspberry Pi 3b+ on Retropie 4.5?

                          Or really just the most up to date current instructions to run on a Pi 3 at all? I think a lot of folks would greatly appreciate it.

                          Thanks again, fantastic work!

                            @A-Bored-Ninja I would recommend the SCRIPT-MODULE-INSTALL. This works on RPi2/3 devices. It's the openbor-6xxx installer module

                              Fantastic! That's what I was hoping.

                              Can you please also link back to the best method to get your games working?

                              Sorry to ask, but I'm just trying to get a full set of clear and current directions.

                              I greatly appreciate it.

                                  Sorry, I didn't communicate my question well.

                                  Basically, what are the next steps after I've installed OpenBOR?

                                  Meaning, do I still put my pak files into a folder then run a script to extract them? Or does OpenBOR 6xxx have that built in?

                                  Sorry for the million questions.

                                    @A-Bored-Ninja No the PAK extraction is only used for the scriptmodule delievered with retropie ;) But it makes easy things just complicated :)

                                    So just set your PAKs to ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor

                                      Great! Thank you so much!

                                      Now I'll have to give it a whirl and see what happens. Hopefully the controller mapping isn't too difficult. Haha.

                                        Hi!!! I discovered that in the latest version of retropie 4.6 on a raspberry pi 3b/3b+ the installation works fine through retropie-setup-> experimental packages, but in a raspberry pi 4 with fresh image of retropie 4.6 the package does not appear under experiment packages ... would anyone know why it is ? It is possible that the reason is because it is a beta and does not allow to do this type of installation? I don't know what differences there will be in this sense between a rpi3 and a rpi4. I can't find info about it or I haven't been able to find it. Thanks in advance

                                          Hello, I would install openbor 6XXX on my pi 4 in retropie 4.6 and it's not good for me too. The path may change in the 4.6, so i don't know how to make appear opb6xxx in experimental packages

                                            I've noticed an odd bug in OpenBOR 6xxx that the regular OpenBOR doesn't have: when I try to scroll the list of games to the next screen, OpenBOR shuts down. I thought it was e.g. a corrupt PAK file, but it seems to happen regardless of how many there are.

                                            By the way, everyone with OpenBOR needs this :)
