I understand that you have some decision-making power here, I hope I am not completely wrong.

I don't, you mis-understood.

I would like to know why it is not included at once in the retropie-setup script?

Include what ? OpenBor as a separate system or @cyperghost's script ? You can submit a PR to be included to the RetroPie's project repository.

@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

hello, sorry i've not come here before today, i've edit openbor-6xxx.sh and it's work thank you :)

edit it's appear in experimental package, but it's not working :(

any idea ?

[wsamael]

I can launch openbor but it still launch in window mode and don't save my settings.

sorry to ask it but somebody speak french ?

@wsamael Hi!! Try with this...

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta/master/scriptmodules/openbor-6xxx-RPi4/openbor-v6510-RPi4.sh -O- | tr -d '\r' > /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-v6510-RPi4.s

@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 :)

@wsamael here is the way that you can run games at fullscreen

One thing or the other is really indifferent, I think most of us see this latest version of openbor 6510 by Dmitri as functional and operational. Also called here OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-open beta.
If everything can be included, it would be better, after all it is a work done and that can be of use.
Come on @cyperghost summit a PR try it, please.

yes its 's work on ports menu but no if I add openbor on es_systems.cfg

I add this

 <system>
    <name>openbor</name>
    <fullname>OpenBOR</fullname>
    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor</path>
    <extension>.bor .BOR .Bor .PAK .pak .Pak .PAk .paK .pAk</extension>
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ openbor %ROM%</command>
    <platform>openbor</platform>
    <theme>openbor</theme>
  </system>

but "no config found for system openbor" how can i fixe it ?

[wsamael]

This post is deleted!

[julenvitoria]

@wsamael sorry, possibly my mistake... try with this:

  <system>
    <name>openbor</name>
    <fullname>OpenBOR</fullname>
    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor</path>
    <extension>.bor .BOR .pak .PAK</extension>
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _PORT_ openbor %ROM%</command>
    <platform>pc</platform>
    <theme>openbor</theme>
  </system>

I just tried it on my rpi4 and it works fine ;)

I just checked it too and the saves are in / opt / retropie / configs / ports / openbor / Saves /

@cyperghost
Hello no one can help me please no one answered me

[wsamael]

@julenvitoria thank you, yes everything works great :) just to know, could you explain me what's wrong before ? :)

[wsamael]

@ultranab what 's? wrong if I can help you.

[julenvitoria]

@wsamael it needs one more space before

<system>

at the first line and also it seems that

_PORT_

also, with

_SYS_

it seems that it doesn't work well :)

Thanks to this thread I finally installed a fully functional Openbor on Retropie 4.6 with Raspberry pi 4, but I can't understand how to only launch the graphical interface without having to necessarily launch a game, I know that in previous versions it was possible to do it, but now I can't. There's a way?

[BiZzAr721]

@shift I don't have my rpi handy to check the script, but you need to call OpenBOR without a command line call and it should open the game selection screen. I know @cyperghost created a script with a game launcher a while back which you may find on his github.

[construkt]

@BiZzAr721 I know this is an old post, but I'm trying to get your controller configs to apply to OpenBOR. I downloaded the other script, but how do I manually add the .cfg files you made for 8BitDo controllers to it? I have a couple SF30 Pros and an SN30Pro+ and can't get them to work. It doesn't seem that the joypadlist.txt ever got updated to include them.

Also, have you guys figured out a way to skip the script menu and just go straight to the game like you would with any other emulator on retropie? I could swear I saw someone on a 3rd party image doing it and I've been scouring their files trying to figure out what they are doing differently.

[BiZzAr721]

@construkt Here is a gdrive link to joypad configs for OpenBOR 6xxx.
Just rename the file default.cfg and all games will automatically load those configs (player 2 is set at keyboard)

To load games directly, I use a script linking to the game.

#!/bin/bash
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ openbor "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor/Streets Of Russia 2018.pak"
 

I made a batch file for windows to mostly automate this if you have a lot of . pak files

You then can put the .sh file wherever you want them (such as a new "system" OpenBOR)

[construkt]

@BiZzAr721

Great, thanks. I have been tinkering with this for a little while and I dialed in one of my controllers by just going into a game with the keyboard, changing the keybinds and then saving them as the default config. It seems to mess up whenever I switch to a different controller, though. Not sure what is going on with that.

I did have a lot of .pak files, but I unpacked them and now they are all sitting in the ports/openbor folder. Did I not need to unpack them?

I made a new OpenBor system for them in es_systems.cfg, but every one of them still takes me to the launcher program which I am trying to avoid. You say this script will stop that from happening? Where exactly do I put it and what do I name it? I see the bin/bash comment in there, but that isn't really a file I can just open with a text editor, right? Sorry, I'm still really new at this. Until doing this, I've had literally zero Linux experience but this has forced me to learn some and so has building my plex server on unraid.

[construkt]

@BiZzAr721 or do I just put that directly into runcommand.sh somewhere?
