(REQUEST) Add Daphne Singe emulator?

@roslof said in (REQUEST) Add Daphne Singe emulator?:

sudo chmod +x maddog.sh

That won't work if the .sh file is on a FAT32 system, the executable bit (x) is ignored.

Try moving the .sh locally, on the sdcard, and make it exeutable there. Of course, the .sh path that starts the game should be adjusted.

@mitu Good catch. I think adding the "exec" option on fstab is also an alternative.

@mitu

If you can get back to this point:

trying
SO im getting the daphne emulator finally !

but with SINGE GOT AN ERROR =(
could not open the VLP2 dynamic library (file not found maybe ? )

Progress ! :)](link url)

Then I have a solution for making the shared libraries available globally, although it's a little brutal:

echo "/home/pi/singe" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/singe.conf

sudo ldconfig

This is, of course, assuming you still have those *.so files in /home/pi/singe - or change as appropriate...

Then try again....

To revert, if this has bad consequences, just:

sudo rm /etc/ld.so.conf.d/singe.conf

sudo ldconfig

Not sure what you're expecting - isn't your ROMs folder on the USB stick, which is still a FAT32/non-Linux file system ?

@mitu
i did a new sh file still...
and i have a lot of sh files on my harddrive for msdos games the work just fine ... (if its related )
@DirtBagXon
can i run it after that from the emulationstaion ? and not from the cmd ?
Im guessing for now i will wait for maybe a proper install .
dont really get it working :\

If you can get the game working from the command line, then it is just a matter of translating the same call format into the script called by emulationstation (?).

I don't believe anyone has taken on the task of converting this to a RetroPie plugin, and everyone thus far has made custom scripts to work in their own unique environments, welcome to the world of open source.

Of course this requires the knowledge to navigate your way around the required scripting.

At this point I think it may be a good idea for you to either:

1. Learn, and experiment with, the required scripting by looking at existing scripts and figuring out what they do etc.
2. Wait until someone picks up the task of making singe a supported plugin (if indeed that does happen).

Sorry I couldn't get it working for you....

@DirtBagXon
OMG ! OMG !!!
IT DID WORK !!!

echo "/home/pi/singe" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/singe.conf

sudo ldconfig

Interesting, so this means (in your environment) LD_LIBRARY_PATH is being ignored.

So glad it's finally working for you...

@DirtBagXon

You can't put a linux executable script on a partition that is vfat (MSDOS)

sudo mount | egrep -i 'vfat|msdos' | awk '{print $3}'

Should show you where you cannot locate the scripts.....

[shavecat]

@DirtBagXon

pi@retropie:~ $ sudo mount | egrep -i 'vfat|msdos' | awk '{print $3}'
/boot
pi@retropie:~ $

and again i have already .sh files on my msdos games and the are all on my usbharddirve and working .

[DirtBagXon]

@shavecat

sudo mount | grep usb0

[shavecat]

@DirtBagXon

pi@retropie:~ $ sudo mount | grep usb0
/dev/sda1 on /media/usb0 type fuseblk (rw,nodev,noexec,noatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096)
pi@retropie:~ $

pi@retropie:~ $

noexec

So not sure how you have other scripts, unless they are symlinked...

[shavecat]

@DirtBagXon

like that

[DirtBagXon]

@shavecat

/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/+Start\ DOSBox.sh

That script isn't on /media/usb0

But it has an argument that points to it...

[shavecat]

@DirtBagXon
sorry didnt notice
and its still works somehow just checked it out with few sh files...
so i have to copy the sh files to my pi card i guess ?
thats a shame wanted to be on the harddrive (that only when its plugedin i can see them )....

@shavecat said in (REQUEST) Add Daphne Singe emulator?:

Yes, then chmod 755 them.

@DirtBagXon
thanks will give it a try
