      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

                                  Parameters: 
                                  Executing: pushd /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx/OpenBOR "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/openbor/He-Man.pak"; popd
                                  /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx ~
                                  * failed to add service - already in use?

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

                                    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 ...

                                      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...)

                                            Hi @shavecat , try with this in es_systems.cfg and reboot, it should appear as one more system ;)
