      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....

        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

          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.....

            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

                              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

                                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....

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

                                          The DavidGriffith repo indeed does, as I got singe working . 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....

                                          Which daphne/singe versions is yours? Mine says

                                          --DAPHNE version 1.0.13.1
Starting Singe version 1.14

                                          tho i manually added pjft's changes...
