[Solved (partly)] - issue with joypad control - How to start Doom Doom2 Heretic ... and all Episodes of Quake (DOPA, ROGUE, HIPNOTIC)

@mediamogul
Thank you so much for your help. It's unbelievable the error for not starting quake addons was in typing the FOLDERNAME in UPPERCASE even when the original folder is named ROGUE the path in the .sh file should always be lowercase.

So Quake orignal is running
even Hipnotic nad Rogue now

Thank you

cyperghost

For Heretic and Hexen.... It works with Crispy Doom.

#!/bin/bash
pushd /usr/local/games
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 "./crispy-heretic -iwad /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/heretic/heretic.wad"
popd

Just get PiKiss on your system as mentioned in a few posts of me up. Then create the bash file as written above. It works.... BUT.... No Input possible. I have to find out but hell ... it looks damned good to get those two crackers from id-soft running. Maybe I need help to solve this.

Best regards

Both hipnotic and rogue work fine using this method so I documented it on the wiki:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Quake

I couldn't get DOPA working with the same method. It's freely available at https://cdn.bethsoft.com/quake/dopa.rar if anyone wants to have a go.

I found a way to get dopa working. It is a bit weird it involves renaming pak0.pak in dopa folder to pak2.pak and copying over original quake pak files(pak0 and pak1) into dopa dir then using

#!/bin/bash
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-tyrquake/tyrquake_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/ports/quake/retroarch.cfg /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/quake/dopa/pak0.pak" "lr-tyrquake"

If anyone knows a better way of doing this let me know

Brigane

It seems like I'm unable to play full version of Quake with Tyrquake emulator. Even after adding pak1.pak it says "for registered users only". Is this possible to fix somehow?

leftcog

You should be able to still enter the portal even though it says that. you could also try replacing pak0 too. Other than that I would make sure you are putting the paks in the right folder. it should be /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/quake/id1/

Brigane

@leftcog I am unable to get through the Portal. I tried to uninstall tyrquake and lr-tyrquake and replace the .pak files again, but still no luck :(

leftcog

The only thing i can think of is a dual installation try searching root for pak0.pak and see how many dirs come up

leftcog

I just thought of something you need pak1.pak from a legit copy as well of the original quake

Brigane

@leftcog I have that file. The wierd thing is that the full version works perfectly fine with the lr-tyrquake emulator. But the graphic is not so good with this emulator.

leftcog

Alright I installed tyr-quake and ran into the same problem but it seems to still work lb-tyr-quake for after reinstalling from binary. You could try changing emulators by hold "a" when the game starts.

suprjami

@leftcog Thanks for the DOPA workaround, I've added it to the wiki.

@Brigane I've only tested these with lr-tyrquake. Is there any compelling reason to use plain TyrQuake over the libretro core?

Also, make sure you have v1.06 (or maybe v1.08) of the registered data file. The shareware file installed is v1.06, like https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/idstuff/quake/quake106

suprjami

Jools has put support into the setup script for launching map files with both tyrquake and lr-tyrquake.

I've edited the wiki to reflect the correct way to launch them.

When using lr-tyrquake the graphics are very poor. Also I like the steering much better with tyrquake emulator. I prefer keyboard and mouse over gamepad.

@Brigane You might want to check out darkplaces if you like better graphics and don't want to use a controller https://github.com/autonomous1/darkplacesrpi

suprjami

I strongly recommend against using that Darkplaces port, the author refuses to release the source so is in violation of the GPL. That's the reason it was removed from RetroPie in the first place. Both of us have asked the author to release the source, he outright refused then locked all GitHub Issues. Asshole.

However, Jools is working on getting Darkplaces working on the Pi and having it be completely open source. He pushed it to the setup script last night so I haven't had a chance to try it yet:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/ports/darkplaces-quake.sh

@suprjami

I updated Quake from source last night and the full version now works for both emulators. Thank you for your input.
Without sounding to tecnical, what would you say is the difference between darkplaces and tyrquake? Is darkplaces worth looking at or should I just stick to a working tyrquake.

suprjami

@Brigane To be honest I don't know, the first time I have used TyrQuake is this thread.

I used DarkPlaces on Linux desktop to play through the original game and both Mission Packs with DarkPlaces a couple of years ago, it worked fine. If DarkPlaces has good joystick support on RetroPie I'd probably use that.

Try them out and see which works best for you. Let us know too :)

cyperghost

Old thread... My first thread.

I answered some question on myself.

I know I can create maybe "DOOM-TNT.sh" and can put command from emulator call from DOOM.WAD to TNT.WAD. But now if I save games from DOOM1 and DOOM-TNT they are all displayed in both games titles togehther. This is a bad solution.

I created some bash scripts that will solve that.
You now need only one folder with all WADs inside.
You will need zip support enabled so please get zip with sudo apt install zip

Get the scripts here from github

Update: 15.07.17

added FreeDoom1
added FreeDoom2

They work flawless!

Quake issues ...

Two ways...

Use the wiki here! It's the recommended way
If you lack of space or you are not able to run Quake and it's official and inofficial packs you can discuss here

Maybe next year I'm back with HeXen and Heretic :)
