      @folly Can you post your version of gsplus.sh somewhere so I can try it?

      I pushed the file to my github, so you can try.
      Hope it works for you.

      cd /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators
      wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/emulators/gsplus.sh
      
      

      (EDIT: fixed above line, now it will overwrite the gsplus.sh and make a backup of the old file)

      or download this repository and extract the file :

        @folly I seem to still be getting an error using your version. Here's what my log file says:

          Try to install the package manually.

          sudo apt install libreadline-dev
          

          Then try to reinstall gsplus again.

            @folly Yay! That seemed to at least build without any errors. Thank you!

            Now I just need to spend some time to see if I can get it running. Do you happen to know what BIOS files I need and what folders they go in?

              @roslof said use ROM.01 for the best compatibility.
              Find this file APPLE2GS.ROM and rename it to ROM.01.
              (there is an apple mirror ftp)
              I placed it just in :
              /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS
              Perhaps you have to select the rom through the menu (F4) and save your config.
              (hopefully it will stick)

                I am now trying both ways running apple2gs.

                Through lr-mess I already have Thexder running.

                But not yet in GSplus.
                GSplus needs a .gsp booter file.
                Tried this with thexder but i did not boot Thexder.
                I am still missing the GSOS6.0.1.img harddrive file, perhaps thats why it will not work.
                (EDIT : hardfile is not needed for booting Thexder)

                For those who are also reading this, @roslof discribed a lot about GSplus :

                  @folly How did you get it running under lr-mess? I have that installed as well but everytime I load something it freezes when it loads up. Maybe I have the wrong BIOS locations? What are the BIOS locations for the lr-mess version?

                      I think your BIOS is not fully compatible.
                      check your log :
                      /dev/shm/runcommand.log
                      (after trying)

                      You can read my posts from here, and learn how you can do this :

                      This my last post on how I got it running with lr-mess :

                          @folly I'll look for that apple mirror ftp to grab the BIOS files. What folders should they go in for lr-mess-apple2gs?

                            @folly I was able to get Thexder running in GSplus:
                            thexder.jpg

                            I have the launcher files in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/apple2gs/
                            and the .2mg files in: /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/apple2gs/[Disk Images]/

                            My BIOS is in: /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/apple2gs/

                            I still cannot get it to work with lr-mess-apple2gs

                            Any idea what folder the BIOS should be in for that to work? Nothing I have tried brings it up, and it just keeps crashing on the "Initializing" screen.

                              Nice.

                              If you have it working then should get it working too.
                              Will try tomorrow again.

                              We can try lr-mess later.
                              Perhaps i can help you.

                              EDIT: Tried one more time. Indeed it works with GSplus !!!

                                This is what I see in my log after I try to load a game with lr-mess-apple2gs:

                                I'm not sure what that means or what I am missing.

                                  Most are already in MESS 0.151 ROMs .
                                  You have to have apple2gs.zip containing those roms in the BIOS directory.
                                  341-0132-d.e12 is in apple2ee.zip
                                  Use the old 341-0748 from the apple mirror ftp.
                                  Repack to zip.

                                    @folly THANK YOU! Just got it working. Yep, I was missing files. I had the ROM.01 file but not those others.

                                    I'll test more tomorrow!

                                      Is there a list out there somewhere for what BIOS is needed for all these lr-mess- scripmodules and where those files should be placed? My Googling around has brought up so many different answers and sometimes not correct for these specific modules. For example, my above issue with Apple IIgs. My Googlefu brought up that I needed ROM or ROM.01 in my BIOS directory, but I never found any reference to needing apple2gs.zip in that directory until someone told me about it.

                                      I plan on installing a few more of these scriptmodules and having a list of what BIOS files are needed to get them all running would be very helpful.

                                      Thank you!

                                        All BIOSes are in the MAME romset. To know the MAME/lr-Mess systems names , see .xml files in the MAME hash folder or use the search tool here

                                          @dteam Where is the "MAME Hash" folder? This is what I'm talking about. People keep mentioning things, but don't say where things can be found. I just looked through every single MAME, MESS or lr-mame folder I have on my pi and I don't see a "hash" folder anywhere.

                                          Please help.

                                            @dteam Googling around it looks like I'm supposed to have a "hash" folder in my BIOS folder? This is all I have in my mame folder under BIOS:
                                            131398229_1355733964769700_9198574270058734846_n.jpg

                                            I even just did a "Re-install (from pre-build binary) for lr-mess and it is the same. Obviously I have lr-mess installed as many of the scriptmodules are working.

                                            Is there someplace I can manually download this "hash" folder so I can add it?

                                            Thank you.
