Im trying to run the sh file to the directory of /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe .and not from /home/pi/.daphne/singe/maddog/
cause its not there ....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.

and even .singe dosent let me load it .
with the some error on the log (no promotion ) that's really weird -

<extension>.singe .sh .SINGE .SH</extension>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....Hypseus Singe for RetroPie: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe

@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.

do i need to reinstall daphne aggin now ?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.

Anyway i can make the Daphne / American laser games
Full screen ? 16/9
and not 4:3... -

thanks for the work.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....
-
SINGE 2.0 is now available
-
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.zipI 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?

What should be my next steps?
I just downloaded some of the v2 games from kangaroopunch and unzipped them in the same directory. Then ran ./Menu.sh
The new games are packaged and configured to run in v2.
Running v1 games involves playing with the CLI commands:
Usage: Singe-v2.00-Pi-armv6 [OPTIONS] scriptName{.singe} -a, --aspect=N:D force aspect ratio -c, --showcalculated show calculated framefile values for debugging -d, --datadir=PATHNAME alternate location for written files -e, --volume_nonvldp=PERCENT specify sound effects volume in percent -f, --fullscreen run in full screen mode -h, --help this display -k, --nologos kill the splash screens -l, --volume_vldp=PERCENT specify laserdisc volume in percent -m, --nomouse disable mouse -n, --nocrosshair request game not display gun crosshairs -s, --nosound, --mutesound mutes all sound -t, --trace trace script execution to screen and file -u, --stretch use ugly stretched video -v, --framefile=FILENAME use an alternate video file -w, --fullscreen_window run in windowed full screen mode -x, --xresolution=VALUE specify horizontal resolution -y, --yresolution=VALUE specify vertical resolution -z, --noconsole zero console outputSomething like this (with appropriate paths):
./Singe-v2.00-Pi-armv6 [OPTION] -v timegal.txt timegal.singe
Although I had varying success here.
