@zerojay here is the first line in my emulators.cfg for sorr
sorr = "XINIT:pushd /opt/retropie/ports/sorr; ./bgdi-333 ./SorR.dat; popd"
I thought xorg was the only dependency needed to make XINIT work but I may be mistaken. I have not noticed any performance issues on the pi 4 from running sorr this way.

Unfortunately appears to fail to start and I don't see an Xorg.log file that I can find the issue in.

@zerojay Ill boot up my test image and see if I can figure out the full dependencies needed and report back.

I've added this as a dependency for the sorr script so it shouldn't need to be done any longer. Thanks.

Also switched to the 333 version of the bennugd interpreter.

Hi all, Streets of Rage Remake v5.2 has been released.

v5.2

Would be great to get this on the Pi, not sure what is involved to do so.

@charco i think if there is a build from source ability then i think it might be able to be done

Link doesn't work. Here is a working one for 5.2.

There is approximately 300 additional bugfixes, tweaks, gameplay improvements, and new features over the original v5.1 release.

From the README:
"- If you have VSync or frame pacing issues find system.txt (mod/system.txt) and set BORDERLESS_SYNC (not always works, Windows composition or Desktop VSync must be enabled)"

Apperently this works for linux to.

Maybe @zerojay can have a look at this?

@rion the link does work. I've uploaded in to Mega, it's in that thread.

Then it's more likely my adblocker on my router that's acting up.

Hello people.

Just came here, after a long time, to tell you guys that a new SORR version was released (as mentioned by @rion).

I haven't tested it on RetroPie, but I've ran it on Windows to see the new features. Looks like it works just like previous versions.

About the new features, there's some of them that may be really useful for RetroPie users like us, which uses it only with a controller:

Full 16:9 widescreen support for the main game and for Sormaker mods
15 New tracks (both remixes and original) from BGM1401
New scenes added and graphics updated throughout the game
All new intro and updated graphics for endings, main menu, and shop
AI has been hugely improved, providing a better challenge and better balance
Achievements added
Overhauled menu layout with submenus and all new options
Choice of Remixed or Retro OST

I marked in bold the interesting features for us.

The first one says that SORR now runs in HD resolution (1280x720), so RetroPie 4 users probably won't need to use runcommand instructions to reduce / revert resolution when running SORR (or at least they'll be able to increase the original resolution).

The second one contains some new interesting menus, but the best one I could think is: "Exit Game". I guess that now we can exit game directly from a controller, instead of plugging a keyboard just to press ESC, or force shutdown the device.

Anyway, that's it. You can find more info here:

Hello i edit my message i follow a video on youtube, and i install it. but when i'm launch the street of rage.sh on roms/ports ( by es menu ), it's seem start launching, but i 've an error and its' back to menu

"ERROR/ galsi a.pal not found"

anyone have an idea ?

@wsamael Hi mate, did you get this sorted? I had the same problem this evening.

@system187 posted a solution earlier in this thread (cheers mate!) which involves creating a new savefile on your PC and copying it over to your rpi :

Launch SorR.exe on your PC.

A savegame folder will be generated containing savegame.sor (I think I changed a random graphics option in the config, not sure if this was required to generate the save file or if it’s automatically generated when you launch the game) .

Copy the savegame.sor from your PC to /opt/retropie/configs/ports/sorr on your rpi.

That should sort it.

I did the above with a SoRR 5.1 savefile. I've just updated to 5.2 and left the same savefile in place and it's still working.

Just had a quick play with 5.2. The exit button is a nice improvement, no need to plug in a keyboard to get back to ES anymore.

I tried a few video modes with the widescreen option enabled but they all ran pretty sluggish on my 3b+ so I've reverted to normal for the time being. Plus it looks like you can't enable the scanlines filter in w/s mode.

I wonder if a Pi4 would be any better for this game in 16:9. Anyone know?

No I've not solve this problem, i've no idea where to look for. Did you try with sorr 5.3 or older version?

agboju_logun

Hi @wsamael, I'm on 5.2 (didn't realise there was a 5.3). Have you tried the save file solution in my previous post?

Works perfect on Pi 400. However, the only way to get full screen is to set the pie to 1280x720 / 720p resolution.

Will SoRR work in OpenBOR as a new .pak file and fit in with the rest of my OpenBOR "roms" list? Would be nice to get SoRR out of Ports.

@zerojay sorry it took me so long to get back to you

I tested with a stock build of retropie. Youll need as dependencies:

xorg xserver-xorg-input-all

Then modify the emulators.cfg as so:

sorr = "XINIT:pushd /opt/retropie/ports/sorr; ./bgdi-333 ./SorR.dat; popd"

If you are using the roms directory and not opt anymore, make sure to modify the above line to point to the correct directory.

This will give you Sorr fullscreen (you may need to set the video mode in-game to 2x for there to be no black borders)
