      @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 have 2 badlands roms in my roms folder :-

              badlandsp.zip (9kb)
              bl_hit_12f.bin
              bl_hit_4f.bin
              bl_hit_6a.bin
              bl_hit_7a.bin
              bl_hit_7c.bin
              bl_hit_9c.bin

              badlands.zip (13kb)
              badlands.a13
              badlands.a14
              badlands.c4
              badlands.c8

              badlands.daphne
              badlands-pc.dat
              badlands-pc.m2v
              badlands-pc.ogg

              Hope that helps

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

                That does save me some trouble then :)

                    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.

                        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 ?

                            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....

                                I have 2 badlands roms in my roms folder :-

                                badlandsp.zip (9kb)
                                bl_hit_12f.bin
                                bl_hit_4f.bin
                                bl_hit_6a.bin

                                bl_hit_9c.bin

                                badlands.zip (13kb)
                                badlands.a13
                                badlands.a14
                                badlands.c4
                                badlands.c8

                                badlands.daphne
                                badlands-pc.dat
                                badlands-pc.m2v
                                badlands-pc.ogg

                                Hope that helps

                                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.....

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

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

                                    @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!

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

                                            I didn't, good catch, just recompiled and both ROMS run - bingo.

                                            Seems to be a Pi caveat:

                                            Apparently there is/was a performance impact:
