      @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?

      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?

                                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 output
                                

                                Something like this (with appropriate paths):

                                ./Singe-v2.00-Pi-armv6 [OPTION] -v timegal.txt timegal.singe

                                Although I had varying success here.

                                  oh ok so the ./Menu.sh builds a menu in terminal and not in the emulationstation/retropie gui hmm i wonder what its gonna take to get it in emulationstation. Also Dirtbagxon you been pretty great with your help so far just wanted to mention that. is it 'its own thing now or does it still rely on daphne?

                                    Both v2 and my v1.18 repo are standalone Singe.

                                    Pleasure helping out, but I'm afraid I don't know the Emulationstation interface to help there.

                                      First install the correct tools and libraries:

                                      sudo apt-get install git make build-essential libasound2-dev libcaca-dev libglew-dev libglib2.0-dev libogg-dev libpcre3-dev libpcre32-3 libpng-dev  libpng-tools libpulse-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl1.2-dev libslang2-dev  libvorbis-dev libxi-dev pkg-config
                                      

                                      After this point there is the result (I have translated from Italian to english error message):

                                      To continue? [Y / n] Y

                                      Here everything is ok.

                                      After this command instead the error was this:

                                      I used a raspberry pi 4 with 4GB**** with Retropie 4.7.1

                                      Can you figure out how to correct the problem?

                                        First install the correct tools and libraries:

                                        sudo apt-get install git make build-essential libasound2-dev libcaca-dev libglew-dev libglib2.0-dev libogg-dev libpcre3-dev libpcre32-3 libpng-dev  libpng-tools libpulse-dev libsdl-image1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-dev libsdl1.2-dev libslang2-dev  libvorbis-dev libxi-dev pkg-config
                                        

                                        After this point there is the result (I have translated from Italian to english error message):

                                        You need to clear this error or the dependencies will not be installed and you will see the later errors.

                                        Looks like you packaging system is a little broken.

                                        What happens if you run the following two commands?

                                        sudo apt-get update
                                        
                                        sudo apt-get upgrade
                                        

                                        It looks like a broken package file, so the above may work, it could also be filesystem corruption (sd card), seems to be some similar issues here:

                                        https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=187936

                                        If you can't get the development packages installed, try running the compiled binaries I put in the repository:

                                        From the folder singe folder you cloned via git:

                                        cd binaries/$(uname -m)
                                        
                                        cp *.so singe.bin ../..
                                        
                                        cd ../..
                                        

                                        Then ./run.sh

                                          @dirtbagxon Thank you for the answer, I did the upgrades as you told me, but I got the same error as before, so now I'm testing the SD and if everything is ok I reinstall Retropie "clean" and then I immediately install your package. I keep you updated.

                                            @dirtbagxon You were right, it was just a Retropie installation error. Now everything goes. To your scripts I just had to add this line:

                                            cp ~/singe/pics/* ~/.daphne/pics/
                                            

                                            because the system could not find this file: ConsoleFont.bmp (and probably the same error would have given it also for the other .bmp)

                                            I changed your script (run.sh) to have the full screen on a Full HD (1920 x 1080) TV by changing the -x and -y parameters, because I noticed that the -fullscreen command is not recognized.

                                            For Ninjia Hayate and Timetraveler I kept your parameters -x 800 and -y 600 because unfortunately they don't accept higher resolutions.

                                            Now I want to try ActionMax.

                                            Thanks for everything. I keep you updated.
