      method to get your games working?

      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

          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 :)

                  @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?

                    @wsamael Hi!!! To make the module appears again in experimental packages you have to edit the script after downloading, find where it says

                    rp_module_flags = "! Mali! X11! Kms"
                    

                    and remove the! Kms flag. The result would be the following

                    rp_module_flags = "! Mali! X11"
                    

                    Then load retropie-setup again and you will see that in experimental packages it reappears

Clone this repo to your rpi 4 and compile it following the instructions for raspberry. After compiling it you will find that it still doesn't work ... well, if you take a look at issue 129 you will see that you need to do make with -j4. The code to like in RPi 4 should be like this:

                        mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make -j4
                        

                        I have also tried this other

                        mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo; make -j4
                        

                        Both work but I need to do more checks to know which one works better or what affects not having the flag -DBCMHOST=1 (I'm a little noob...). Now the problem is that pak games run well but on a very small portion of the screen and I am not able to run them fullscreen. @cyperghost @mitu Sorry to bother you but ... could you tell me how to run them full screen? (Or anyone here ...) Really I don't have much idea if it can be possible either but I hope so...

                        Sorry for my english but it's not my language...

                          @shavecat Yes!!! Openbor 6xxx... The script is the one that created cypherghost. The steps should be the following:

                          wget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta/master/scriptmodules/openbor-6xxx.sh -O- | tr -d '\r' > /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx.sh
                          
                          nano ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx.sh
                          

                          and remove the !Kms flag in

                          rp_module_flags = "!Mali !X11 !Kms"
                          

                          The result would be the following:

                          rp_module_flags = "!Mali !X11"
                          

                          Save & exit with ctrl-x, run retropie setup again and go experimental packages ;)

                              Because I am stupid I did not take into account that openbor games can be configured from VIDEO OPTIONS to run full screen ... LOL

                                @julenvitoria Thanks a lot for the tips. I was able to build the gl4es lib for the RPI4 and this made OpenBor run. However, I tried Streets of Rage 2X and the game crashes just after the "start" screen. This is the runcommand log, if it is of any help

                                  @janderclander14 Hi!!! I downloaded Street Of Rage 2x from here (download android PAK, inside the zip you'll found it) and it works fine for me ;)
                                  Could you tell me the size of your libGL.so.1 file? Mine is 1595 kb and works fine on my pi 4

                                    @julenvitoria Thanks, that worked! I was using the latest version of the mod (1.9.3) and for some reason it crashes. Version 1.7 works fine.

                                          @julenvitoria , like others, I'm very excited about this.

                                          I followed the instructions for Raspberry Pi4B. No trouble compiling libGL.so.1 as described with the -j4 switch. Moved the compiled file from ./lib to the /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx folder (renamed the old one first).

                                          When running the openbor-6xxx emulator, it fails for me. Viewing dev/shm/runcommand.log shows "failed to add service - already in use?"

                                          LIBGL: Using GLES 2.0 backend
                                          LIBGL: loaded: libGLESv2.so
                                          LIBGL: loaded: libEGL.so

                                          Running from the command-line works just fine. Issue occurs only when launching via ES.

                                          EDIT: [SOLVED] User error. For my configuration, I needed to move the active directory to opt/retropie/configs/ports/openbor

                                            @julenvitoria said in OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase:

                                            mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make -j4

                                            So im trying your bulid code both of them
                                            but it gives me that -

                                            
                                            pi@retropie:~ $ mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make -j4
                                            CMake Error: The source directory "/home/pi" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
                                            Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
                                            make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
                                            pi@retropie:~/build $ mkdir build; cd build; cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo; make -j4
                                            CMake Error: The source directory "/home/pi/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
                                            Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
                                            make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
                                            pi@retropie:~/build/build $
                                            
                                            

                                            Does the roms going to the same place like pi3b+ in the ports openbor folder (then paks files there )
                                            Or is it going to rom/openbor folder ...
