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

          That does save me some trouble then :)

            cant run the singe roms...

              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....

                          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...

                            e.g.

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

                              @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!

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

                                      Seems to be a Pi caveat:

                                            Try this as user pi:

                                            cd /home/pi/singe

mkdir -p /home/pi/.daphne/singe /home/pi/.daphne/sound /home/pi/.daphne/pics

cp pics/singeme.bmp /home/pi/.daphne/pics/
cp pics/gamenowook.bmp ~/.daphne/pics/
cp sound/grumble.wav /home/pi/.daphne/sound/

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

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