    I posted about trying to compile the Jagged Alliance 2 source port "Straciatella" with no success despite finding guides online of those who HAD been able to compile the program successfully.

    Here's the github page for the project -- http://ja2-stracciatella.github.io/

    I thought maybe if I asked (begged even) here then perhaps I'd find some sympathetic soul who'd get this amazing game compiled and running on their Raspberry Pi.

    Thanks in advance.

      is there a button that allows me to beg? maybe some place i post my eternal gratitude as a bounty?

      I've been waiting on the edge of my seat hoping some kind soul will be able to compile what I couldn't. you'd be not only helping out this poor man but you'd low key be showing how much smarter you are than him.

          @romhackfanatic messing around i was able to get it to compile just fine. getting the correct game files i have not messed with yet, but here is what i had to do to get it to compile

          curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
          
          sudo  apt install -t testing cargo rustc cmake
          
          sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libboost-filesystem-dev
          
          wget -O - https://github.com/ja2-stracciatella/ja2-stracciatella/archive/v0.16.0.tar.gz | tar xz
          
           cd ja2-stracciatella
          
          mkdir _bin && cd _bin
          
           cmake .. &&  make -j4
          
           sudo make install
          

          for the rest i think if you follow
          https://blog.david-krawiec.de/articles/2018/2018-10-14-jagged-alliance-2-on-raspberry-pi.html
          you should be able to get it working

            Thank you so much exarkuniv!!!

            I'll try that right now but - no matter what the outcome - I really can't thank you enough for trying. You have seriously kept the dream alive for me as I was just about to give up hope.

            I am trembling I am so excited jesus... I really, really adore JA2 what can I say?

              Looking at those commands I already have a sneaking suspicious that all my problems boiled down to not using rustup to install rust and just trying to use apt-get install... I am still getting a feel for all this and never have needed cargo or rust to compile from source yet.

                @romhackfanatic thats where i started. i just followed the commands other people here posted to get games going, after doing it a few times i started seeing what i needed to do to mess with it my self.

                https://osgameclones.com/
                here is a good list of clones that are out there. i went through it and started seeing what i could get to work and what i could not. it helped me get a small handle on how to get stuff working, but i still have much to learn

                  Has anyone done "Monaco GP remake"?
                  There's Linux binaries, and given that it's a classic SEGA arcade game that has no CPU - it's not in MAME.
                  Still need the ROMs to run it.
                  I think it would be a good candidate for porting, especially since anyone with an arcade cab with a steering wheel is probably going to want it.

                    Just wanted to update for those in the future - I ABSOLUTELY GOT THIS WORKING FLAWLESSLY! I was able to get it compiled with the launcher just for anyone else who reads this.

                    Thanks so much exarkuniv for going out of your way to help and give such specific direction. I really can't thank you enough.

                    I'm curious... what's the process for creating an install script for the retropie project? Just off the top of my head, this and the Ultima VI engine 'Nuvie' I feel would be good candidates to be added. I'd love to give back and that seems something mroe than doable with the right background knowledge.

                      @romhackfanatic A port (or any other emulator) is installed through a scriptmodule - an install/configuration script that's part of RetroPie. You can see the existing ports' scripts in the project's repository here.

                        This maybe a dead end but does anyone use a proper Linux machine and have the standalone desmume emulator up and running? I know we have drastic and that works very well but I'm just curious if anyone has messed about with that version of desmume? I'm just wondering as if it's 32bit it may even be possible to run with box86?

                            @retropi19 Latest Raspberry Pi OS updates have added Pulse Audio support, if you have the desktop installed then it will be installed and set as default sound output. Maybe AvP doesn't support it ?

                            i have the os fully updated installed sdl also did an rpi-update

                            Don't use rpi-update as a regular update mechanism, it's not advised unless you're trying to test the next beta firmware/kernel.

                              as i said in Rpi3 the sound works fine

                              installed pulseaudio and enabled it but now i have sound only from headphones

                              how do i get sound from the tv speakers??

                                I didn't say to install PulseAudio, I just suggested that, by updating your OS, you might have installed PulseAudio and it has taken over as sound output and AvP might not like it.

                                    Use the Audio Settings menu in RetroPie and choose your audio output.
