    @shavecat Yeah it didn't help me adding tvservice unfortunately. The games I'm trying to get working BabaIsYou & Undertale both seem to require startx.

    The game plays as you can hear the music but the video isn't played back. (and I popped in a new topic this morning, we'll see if anyone who was messing with startx before has some options that make it work)

    Games wise so far I've got:-

    World of Goo (need a mouse unless you use xboxdrv)
    Shovel Knight (works great with my xbox controller)
    Freedom Planet (same as Shovel Knight)
    Undertale (working, although it's centered small in the screen and F4 doesn't turn it into fullscreen like on a desktop, again you'd need xboxdrv to map the controls)

    I am sure there is hundreds of programs you could attempt with this box86, apparently it works with wine, but I've never used wine and have no idea how it works.

    Edit: They have a compatibility list of sorts of some games they've tried that have and haven't worked. https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86-compatibility-list/issues

        @shavecat this is going to sound weird for Freedom Planet. At first it wasn't loading. I tried to boot it when in pixel, it booted up ok. Then I tried again in Retropie and it started working. No idea what I'd done or changed to cause it to work.

        Also I put libgcc_s.so.1 and libstdc++.so.6 in the same directory which improved performance. My .sh is identical to what you're doing there

              @shavecat awesome! Never heard of this game. I guess as last resort you can use xboxdrv? I've gone down a scummvm rabbit hole recently and been playing broken sword & beneath a steel sky, so haven't tried many box86 games for a while

                      I got Limbo working btw with box86. Another great game that worked straight away and is worth checking out

                        @retropieuser555 oooh! This is nice! I think I bought Limbo 2-3 times, just because I lile it so much! ;) At least I have it on my PS3 and on Steam...

                        Also (not really related) try Inside, if you liked Limbo. It's different but has the same dense atmosphere!

                          Awesome, looks like it's on switch and is by the same devs? I'll have to check it out. Never heard of it, I do wonder with game devs sometimes, why name a game "inside"? That's so hard to google, it's like when bands are called things like "health". Makes it way harder to develop your brand image.

                                They released 5 Rpi's 4 what are they doing people needs octa core pi's not more ram its not helping,usseles the 4gb and the 8gb model
                                I wonder how ionfury performs in an octacore odroid that exists for many years now.

                                  Hi,
                                  I have some suggestions, some of which I managed to get to run decently:

                                  • Nuvie (for Ultima 6)

                                  • Exult (for Ultima 7 and Serpent Isle)

                                  • Pentagram (for Ultima 8)

                                  • DevilutionX (for Diablo) and

                                  • Schockolate (for System Shock)

                                  Exult and Shockolate are a little on the slow side and needed some extra attention in the source code... not by me, mind you ;)
                                  I'd really like to get nblood (for Blood) to run, but it doesn't compile with USE_OPENGL=0.

                                  Anyways! Keep up the excellent work!

                                  @ecto I know this post is old but is there any chance you could share how you got Pentagram and Schockolate to run?

                                    I can try! Where do you have problems?

                                    Pentragram is outdated now, as it was merged into ScummVM. It received some fixes there, so I would suggest going that way instead of compiling it yourself.

                                    As for Schockolate I remember it being quite easy. Download the latest repository from https://github.com/Interrupt/systemshock and compile away using the instructions.

                                    Taken from the repository:

                                    Building from source code
                                    Prerequisites:
                                    CMake installed
                                    
                                    Step 1. Build the dependencies:
                                    Windows: build_win32.sh or build_win64.sh (Git Bash and MinGW recommended)
                                    Linux/Mac: build_deps.sh or the CI build scripts in osx-linux
                                    Other: build_deps.sh
                                    
                                    Step 2. Build and run the game itself
                                    cmake .
                                    make systemshock
                                    ./systemshock
                                    The following CMake options are supported in the build process:
                                    
                                    ENABLE_SDL2 - use system or bundled SDL2 (ON/BUNDLED, default BUNDLED)
                                    ENABLE_SOUND - enable sound support (requires SDL2_mixer, ON/BUNDLED/OFF, default is BUNDLED)
                                    ENABLE_FLUIDSYNTH - enable FluidSynth MIDI support (ON/BUNDLED/OFF, default is BUNDLED)
                                    ENABLE_OPENGL - enable OpenGL support (ON/OFF, default ON)
                                    If you find yourself needing to modify the build script for Shockolate itself, CMakeLists.txt is the place to look into.
                                    

                                    I think you have to use the system SDL. You can use OpenGL, but although the renderer looks very nice, there are some slowdowns at some spots. Maybe it can be optimized but I'm not capable of doing that.

                                    That being said, the software renderer looks like vanilla but instead of 320x200 in dosbox you can easily run 640x480 resolutions in this port. Sadly, the next selectable resolution is 1024x768which is a tad too much for the Pi4. At some point other resolutions will be implemented, but we'll have to wait and see.

                                    And another thing: When you start the game and the graphics are squashed into one corner of the screen, hit Alt-Enterfor fullscreen use.

                                      I can try! Where do you have problems?

                                      Being honest, I found the repository you posted for Schockolate and quite simply I have no idea how to translate the instructions into actual command lines ^^
                                      Starting with the first step for instance, of building dependencies. Isn't build_deps.sh a script module that needs to be created and placed in RetroPie-Setup?

                                      Sorry I meant Exult, not Pentagram! That will teach me to post late ^^

                                        Ok, NP.
                                        although I have to tell you, that I'm probably not the best one to ask. As I'm away from my Pi4 ATM, this is from recollection:

                                        git clone https://github.com/Interrupt/systemshock
                                        cd systemshock
                                        cmake . ENABLE_SDL2=ON ENABLE_SOUND=ON
                                        make systemshock
                                        

                                        you should then have a systemshock executable in the ~/systemshock/ folder. Put this executable together with the requires rescources (the whole res/data folder from the CD version of the game) and start the game with ./systemshock. That should be all, IIRC. :D

                                          @ecto Thanks! I'm back with more noobness, sorry ^^

                                          when I try to run cmake . ENABLE_SDL=ON ENABLE_SOUND=ON I get this :

                                          CMake Error: The source directory "/home/pi/systemshock/ENABLE_SOUND=ON" does not exist.
                                          Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
                                          

                                          I can't make any sense of the help, as I'm not sure what the source would even be in this instance.

                                          Sorry if this is a silly mistake ^^
