OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase

@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 ;)

@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...

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

janderclander14

@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.

shavecat

So i install the openbor and openbor6xxx
and trying to play it straight from the folder (ports/openbor)with *.pak file,
and it goes back to the emulitonstaion .
and from the openbor selector ports same...
any help plz?

@shavecat You must compile the libGL.so.1 file for your raspberry pi 4, follow this instructions ;)

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

@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.

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.

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 ...

@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 ;)

shavecat

GOT IT
THANKSSSSS !!!!! <33333

shavecat

Is there a way to config all the CFG files saves games with the gamepad's config and video all at once??? :)

Got it just copy the filename to another filename game after u already save the config in the game

julenvitoria

@shavecat Hi!! There is some game that allows saving the options as default (for all games). One of them is Asterix and Caesar’s Challenge. You can also try to run a game, the configuration of that game will be generated automatically when changing some configuration parameter (for example fullscreen). Then go to /opt/retropie/configs/ports/openbor/Saves and rename the file as default.cfg . Run another game and tell us the result, please :)

shavecat

@julenvitoria
Thanks but already copy the names files of the games ;)

cyperghost

@julenvitoria A big thank you to you for setting up the script modules for RPi0/1 RPi3 and RPi4 ... You can follow instructions here

julenvitoria

@cyperghost Thank you too!! This wouldn’t be possible without your work!!!
