      @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

                      @janderclander14 You must compile the libGL.so.1 file for your raspberry pi 4, otherwise it will return to ES because it is compiled for rpi 3 / 3B +... 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?"

                                        Example trying to launch He-Man.pak

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

                                          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 ...

                                            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...).

                                            @shavecat You must first change to the directory where you cloned the gl4es repo, then run the commands...

                                            git clone https://github.com/ptitSeb/gl4es
                                            
                                            cd gl4es
                                            
                                            mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; make -j4
                                            

                                            It will be compiled... then you must copy libGL.so.1 to the openbor-6xxx directory

                                            cd lib; sudo cp libGL.so.1 /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx
                                            

                                            also you can try the repo that I created ... it is a fork of the cypherghost repo but I changed the routes because I included ligbGL.so.1 for raspberry pi zero and raspberry pi 4. The structure of the repo is very different and I didn't know very well how to do it (I'm a little noob...)
