(REQUEST) Add Daphne Singe emulator?

@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 :\

@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....

@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 ?

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

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

@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!

[shavecat]

@DirtBagXon
Where is that directory ??plz

@DirtBagXon
Will give it a try in a few hours
will let u know thanks a lot ! <3 :)

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:

@DirtBagXon thanks for testing and for the links. Learning something every day indeed:)

@DirtBagXon
looks like i have them here -

now i dont know how to make it work .
do i need to copy them in the daphen config ? or somthing like that ?

[DirtBagXon]

@shavecat

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

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

Also:

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

Wait, doesn't the RetroPie daphne have singe support in it, like the DavidGriffiths one? I use the DG version, and my command line is

/opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin singe vldp -framefile /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/timegal.singe/timegal.txt -script /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/timegal.singe/timegal.singe -x 1360 -y 768

[shavecat]

so i did all of that
now im getting this on my command -

Bad command line or initialization problem (see daphne_log.txt for details).
To run SINGE, you must specify which script to run.
 
e.g. singe myscript.singe
 

cant i run it with .sh file from the es?

and how do i switch daphne.bin to singe.bin ?

I thought the RetroPie version didn't have the Singe library, otherwise this thread wouldn't have been created ?

The DavidGriffith repo indeed does, as I got singe working and pushed it back to David. It is however an older version of singe.

The version above is a standalone version of Singe.

@shavecat - Seems a little unfamiliar with this so was trying to get the standalone version working....

@DirtBagXon
got u ,
any ideas ? :)()

The error is there:

I'm guessing on your filenames and locations, so you need to fill in the blanks ;)
