        That's fine, but you have to tell the singe.bin where it can find the files it needs by the correct arguments, at the moment your script is telling it they are in the wrong place.

        The errors will tell you where it's trying to load them, you need to find and alter the bits in your scripts to correct that.

              I have no knowledge of what this is?

              Despite being on this forum, I'm afraid I have never setup RetroPie.
              I only came here to help @Darksavior on the original step....

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

                  @pjft - Could you test this as the proper fix for Badlands in Daphne?

                  We should not be using global char assignment (-fsigned-char), as we read, it is bad practice and performance impacting on ARM.

                    You should not need the global -fsigned-char which as we saw is kinda bad and performance impacting.

                    can confirm this fix makes badlands work on Raspberry Pi4.

                    thanks for the work.

                        Yeah, you probably need to wait till someone adds the changes in the install script though... I made the changes manually and recompiled just to test.

                            Cool, I'll let @pjft make the pull request to the retropie repo, as he led me down the correct debug path.

                              @DirtBagXon Great to hear it worked and that it helped.

                              Please, by all means, do submit the PR over there, it's perfectly fair game. The alternative will still be for me to go and cherry-pick your commit there - it'll always be your original commit :)

                                @pjft - right you are sir.

                                I couldn't get Github to let me fork retropie as I had a fork from a mutual parent repo, which it kept linking me to. Github being annoyingly clever....

                                In the end I gave up and created a new account to fork within, but got there eventually lol. Pull request from the all new DirtBagZon...

                                  @DirtBagXon Hah :) Yes, it's a pain.

                                  In the past I followed this with some success - https://gist.github.com/bhumphrey/3764983 .

                                  Thanks for looking into it, and happy singe-ing .

                                  By the way, the original Singe developer seems to be back at it, and working on a version 2.0 of the emulator, so if that's something that interests you, it should be worth looking out for.

                                    Yep, I have been following Scott's project, he was even kind enough to star my current singe repo too :)

                                    He seems to be getting there... I don't envy him that job....

                                        I saw scott had a zip file with an executable for raspberry pi. Is there anyway we can grab this https://kangaroopunch.com/api/files.ssjs?call=download-file&dir=singe&file=s200p32.zip in terminal and install it in retropie? (i was gonna follow your steps but then 2.0 showed up) . Thanks for all you have done so far.

                                          Heya @TreasureFingers,

                                          You can grab the Singe v2 file via wget in a terminal on your RetroPie.

                                          wget "https://kangaroopunch.com/api/files.ssjs?call=download-file&dir=singe&file=s200p32.zip" -O s200p32.zip
                                          
                                          unzip s200p32.zip
                                          

                                          I don't think anyone has posted a procedure to set it up in RetroPie yet..

                                          Feel free to play and post back here.

                                          FYI: I finally figured out how to get the original Time Gal and Ninja Hayate bytecode .singe files working in version 1.18.
                                          So there is now no need to switch timegal.singe, hayate.singe to the ones in the repo, as detailed above.

                                          The new Singe v2 games seems to have updated overlays , which are very cool, but do move away from the original arcade game look and feel somewhat.
                                          So I think version 1.18 might still be a route for the traditionalists at this point.

                                          But I am sure all this will change as v2 develops.....

                                            i managed to run the executable and it only popped out these two items 1. Menu.sh and 2. a folder called singe and
                                            inside the folder were these contents

                                            • controls.cfg.example

                                            • framework.singe

                                            • freesansbold.ttf

                                            • menu.signe

                                            • menuBackground.mkv

                                            What should be my next steps?
