(REQUEST) Add Daphne Singe emulator?

shavecat

Hey ,
Can i make another Daphne only for Singe ?
just wanna put the singe roms on my harddrive .
And i can run them for the retropie itself like daphne ?
thanks :)

@shavecat What do you mean? Run things from ES?

What I did on my side of things was call all Singe games (well, only Time Gal, really) "+Start Timegal.sh" as that way it runs that shell script, and it just has

cd <folder of singe binaries>
./run.sh timegal

So that's that. Ah, you need to change the es_systems.cfg script in /etc/emulationstation (I believe) and add ".sh" to the Daphne accepted extensions.

I'm sure there are other approaches, maybe others can share their approaches - I didn't mess with emulators.cfg though I imagine that could have been an option.

I was intrigued, as the compatibility list did state "work, with issues".

That does save me some trouble then :)

getting this on my runcommand.info -

You are running the daphne.bin binary instead of singe.bin and trying to run a singe game.

Also:

../singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt

Is that a real directory ?

As correct command line, should look something like this:

--Command line is: /opt/retropie/emulators/singe/singe.bin /home/pi/.daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.singe -framefile /home/pi/.daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.txt -homedir /home/pi/.daphne -datadir /home/pi/.daphne -sound_buffer 2048 -volume_nonvldp 5 -volume_vldp 30 -x 800 -y 600

You probably need to review you're using the correct run.sh for singe.

@DirtBagXon
how do i switch them ?
have it like that

do i need every folder to be -
with .sh (maddog.sh) ?
thanks :)

DirtBagXon

@shavecat

See above for format of singe command, I edited previous response.

You were specifying a frame file at this location:

/media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt

What does

ls -al /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt

say ?

shavecat

@DirtBagXon

-rwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi 4279 Jan 7 2018 /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.txt

sorry got confused with all that..
cant get it work yet :\

DirtBagXon

@shavecat

The only external thing you need to worry about is the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<directory with libsinge.so and libvldp2.so>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Check directory is in there now:

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

So looking at your previous screenshot, I am guessing:

./singe_binary_location  /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.singe  -framefile /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.txt -homedir /media/usb0/roms/daphne -datadir /media/usb0/roms/daphne -x 800 -y 600

I just don't know where your singe.bin and libsinge.so and libvldp2.so files are, otherwise I have filled it in with above info....

shavecat

@DirtBagXon
hey im getting
pi@retropie:~ $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

pi@retropie:~ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<directory with libsinge.so and libvldp2.so>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-bash: directory: No such file or directory
pi@retropie:~ $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
why is that ?

Both badlands.zip and badlandp.zip ROMS work with daphne in linux.

Doing a quick compile on the Pi I still see the:

Write to ffff with 0

issues on both ROMS. So there is still an issue here.....

-bash: directory: No such file or directory

You need to replace this: <directory with libsinge.so and libvldp2.so>

With the directory name/path where those files are...

e.g.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pi/singe:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

pjft

@DirtBagXon Did you compile with the -fsigned-char changes added yesterday, and it still failed?

@skj was the game working for you prior to these changes yesterday?

EDIT: actually @DirtBagXon I forgot, but thank you for accepting the PR for the controls!
