Suggestions for ports

Neo-Rio

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?

Hello a strange issue i have in the alien vs predator game in my Rpi4 in latest buster image

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=100152&p=1792847#p1792847

the strange thing is that i also tried avp in my RPi3 and it has sound/audio there.

any help??

@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.

@mitu still did not solve the problem,has anyone else tried it?

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.

@mitu i did that but it did not work so installed pulse audio now i need to get the audio from the headphones to the speakers any suggestion?

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

@mitu i did that and i had only sound in headphones

@retropi19 If the problem is not specific to one Port, I suggest you open a new topic and add some details about your setup, including the info from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
