OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase
-
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 foropenbor-6xxx. I received an error installingopenbor-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 v4.0.4from 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:
LIBGL: Initialising gl4es LIBGL: v1.0.9 built on Sep 17 2018 21:56:32 LIBGL: Using GLES 2.0 backend LIBGL:loaded: libbcm_host.so LIBGL:loaded: libvcos.so LIBGL:loaded: libbrcmGLESv2.so LIBGL: Hardware test disabled, nothing activated... ~ -

LIBGL:loaded: libbcm_host.so
LIBGL:loaded: libvcos.so
LIBGL:loaded: libbrcmGLESv2.soThese 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:

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.

Which games? Sorry didn't get 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 -

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 :)
-
@BazzCatt hahaha, He-man is an awesome game!! What do you mean with trying to scroll to the next screen? Openbor-6xxx is launched through the emulationstation menu and does not have its own menu like normal Openbor. Maybe you are launching the games through openbor-3400?
