@quicksilver seem to have got by this now..

But nothing is showing when I go to ports..

Although I'm not sure if that's how I'm meant to open the game?

quicksilver

@Jste84 yes this isn't a build script for RetroPie so it won't appear in ports. You'll need to run it from the command line using the commands I posted above. You can also take those commands and put them in a shell script that can be run from emulationstation. Once we have a proper build script set up then it will appear nicely in ES and go through runcommand.

Ok... So this will be my silliest question yet @quicksilver ...

So the last step says run openrct2 from the build directory... How do I do that?

quicksilver

@Jste84 try this:

startx /home/pi/OpenRCT2/build/openrct2

Or you can also run ./openrct2 from the build directory but without the x window the mouse pointer doesn't work right so I don't recommend running it this way.

@quicksilver getting this error... 😔

quicksilver

Unfortunately this is not my area of expertise. I had a hard time getting startx working correctly and fiddled with some settings to get it working. I don't remember exactly what I did but I believe your issue is a permissions error. I think I had to edit a file and give permission for users to access x server. As you can see from my original instructions this is the part I need help on getting to work right, maybe someone else who knows a little more about this stuff can help.

quicksilver

@Jste84 can you go to /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config and edit it so allowed_users = anybody

I think this is what I had to change to get it to work. Again not my area of expertise, so do so at your own risk. I'm not sure how all this part of it works.

@quicksilver when I go into the x11 folder... I don't have an xwrapper.config file....

quicksilver

@Jste84 did you install like I mentioned above?

sudo apt-get install xorg matchbox-window-manager x11-xserver-utils

Jste84

@quicksilver yes I have done.. seemed to install without any issues...

Double checked the folder and it's Def not there...

quicksilver

@Jste84 sorry I'm out of ideas . :(

Jste84

@quicksilver thanks for your help ; I really appreciate it

Looking at the error again I hope someone can help.

No permission to open dev/tty0 seems to be stopping me opening this 😣

quicksilver

@Jste84 can you try

sudo apt install x11-common

Reboot and see if the x11 wrapper config shows up?

Jste84

@quicksilver did this now, still not showing unfortunately mate

quicksilver

@Jste84 how are you looking for that file? What program are you using?

Jste84

@quicksilver winscp

quicksilver

@Jste84 it made be a hidden directory. Can you make sure you have view hidden directories turned on?

Jste84

@quicksilver i made another post and @mitu advised to quit emulation station and run from the terminal not remotely. I'm getting some joy from that...

However this is what I see....

Jste84

@quicksilver I then hit enter on the keyboard and I get this screen

However I can't seem to navigate that screen using controller, mouse or keyboard

quicksilver

@Jste84 you can input the location manually by editing the config.ini located at /home/pi/.config/OpenRCT2/
