OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase
-
@cyperghost Easy to get it built into Retropie like this version is?
I'm just wondering because I'm about to switch to an x86 setup. Are there scripts around that I can run the same way I installed 6510?

@BazzCatt
For newest branch 6510 for RPi 4:
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.shFor newest branch 6510 for RPi 3/3B+:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta/master/scriptmodules/openbor-6xxx-RPi3/openbor-v6510-RPi3.sh -O- | tr -d '\r' > /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-v6510-RPi3.sh -
@construkt Yes it's more easy because the make parameter is just linux.
I don't know if Linux versions use the SDL part - here is the patch located that loads the additional files from command line! Try it out. If you manage to get a running version the rest as easy to setup. -
Hi Everyone
I've installed 6510 on my Pi4 (based on raspbian, not ufficially Retropie)
I've copied one pak file (He-Man) on ports/openbor folder
The emulator close itself and return to selection when i open beats of rage... and module sele....
Why?
Best regards -
I've notice that the error is
"failed to add service, already in use?" -
@roslof i ve your error
What do you mean with active directory? -
@construkt you may be aware that the executable is in /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx, but you may want the active directory to be different so Paks, Saves, Screenshots, etc. can exist in a different location.
For me personally (and it's not standard) I've since moved/symlinked Paks, Saves, Screenshots & Logs directories in /opt/retropie/configs/openbor. Yours might be different.
But for me, with my change, I needed to update /opt/retropie/configs/emulators.cfg (adding pushd and popd) to match my directory location:
openbor-6xxx = "pushd /opt/retropie/configs/openbor; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx/OpenBOR %ROM%; popd"So when you launch a rom from EmulationStation, it will launch OpenBOR correctly, but reference my configs/openbor directory to get the Paks and such...
FWIW (and again, this is not standard) my directory structure that works with my emulators.cfg contents:
/opt/retropie/configs/openbor
emulators.cfg
launching.png
/Logs --> /dev/shm (symlinked)
/Paks --> /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/openbor/ (symlinked)
/Saves
/Screenshots -
@roslof Thanks a lot! the games starts
One problem... they don't save nothing, when i change resolution it returns as default next time i reload the game
same thing for controls
It doesn't generate default.cfg
Thanks again -
@cristiano1987 Check directory permissions/ownership, especially for the /Saves directory. Mine is owned by "pi" and set as drwxr-xr-x (or 755).

Thanks a lot @roslof , you're great!
It was a problem with user and group, correct user and group is pi
I've added a lot of titles without issues
Thanks again!!! -
I'm confused why are you including that bad libgl on rpi4 , that uses gles which doesn't work unless you force dispmanx , deleting that the compiled bin works fine using the normal rpi4 desktop gl

I'm sorry, I'm terrible with this stuff.
I just installed Retropie on Ubuntu 18.04. I am a complete novice when it comes to literally anything Linux. I have absolutely zero understanding of how to install anything unless I'm handed a script and told where to put it or what to copy/paste into the terminal. From doing that a lot, I'm starting to learn some stuff, but it's really slow going for me, haha.
So, I have Retropie working on the Intel NUC and everything runs great (except for some things like being able to see the desktop whenever I try to play a game but thats a different issue). I don't however, have any idea of how to get OpenBor installed. I copied over my es_systems.cfg and all the rom folders from my Pi, so that is all set up and ready to roll. I just don't know how to get OpenBOR installed and into Retropie.
Is there a wget command I can use to install OpenBOR 6510 in Retropie for x86 so it shows up in the Retropie setup like it did on my RPi4?
-
Sorry were you trying to link something? I don't see what patch you're referring to. I can't seem to find a script that adds this version of OpenBOR to RetroPie anywhere. I saw someone posted a script with a really, really old version, but nothing recent.
I also don't really understand how to install stuff from github. What commands should I put in the terminal to get OpenBOR installed? It works really well on my Pi, but I'm trying to get it on Ubuntu 18.04 x86 64bit

@Nintendoman I wrote to your email :)

If the files zip have password is only for personal use of creators.
Please see you message if a offtopic.
Please, administrators, review the case, I am not a julenvitoria, I am just another Spanish user like the one ,we met in other sites, I also asked for the password in his day and I got the answer: please read the rules of the forum, it is for personal use , you can find the roms anywhere, look for them. -

Interesting, tell this your lawyer.

I'm not a lawyer, I'm just one more user, who was testing your script openbor and julenvitoria implementations to the script for pi3 and pi4 in a personal telegra group, so if you wanted cyberghost, you could make a request to the RetoPie setup GitHub as recommended, instead of recommending other system.
Thanks for all -
It shouldn't be difficult to understand, but our priorities lie with this project. So if someone is to upload some copyrighted software outside of the forum with a password, and then discuss it here, exchanging information, it becomes our problem.
Uploading a passworded archive to the other site (which wasn't mentioned, but wasn't hard to find) is also imho an abuse of that site.
The forum rules are clear, and users are asked to read them and agree on sign up.
Some people don't care or give a thought to the future of RetroPie, so don't expect me to somehow be understanding towards them.

Thank you very much for giving me this perspective on this matter. I will try never again to help someone who asks me ... I simply wanted to help someone with something outside of this forum, it was never my intention to put the forum at risk and I understand that the exchange of copyrighted material is totally prohibited, what I don’t understand is that I have not even put if I have given anything or not to Nintendoman, only that I wrote to his email, and I was banned directly... Well, having said that, I also do not understand to this user was not told anything for 8 days when he wrote the message and I was have been banned for writing what to write to his email. I think things could have been done differently ... Thank you very much for this new perspective that you have given me !!
Also to ask @cyperghost that I don't know exactly why he hasn't tried to get the guys from retropie to add this fully functional openbor to retropie-setup, it's something that I still don't understand and that surely many people would like to see...Greetings,

@julenvito Welcome back.
I made some PR regarding openbor in former times and it wasn't accepted. It could be done way better if the GLES wrapper is compiled out of source (that could be done by me)Or even better .... to dismiss this at all (and I know it could be done without this lib) but this is totally out of my skills.
