@mth75
How do i do that ? (Check your file permissions/ownership?) where and how ?
im using putty on retropie 4.6 and i have pi4 2gb.
So thats mean i can do an .sh file from ports in retrpoie with
wine<gamename>.exe
and it will work ??? :):):):)):):)<3<3<3<3(SOUNDS AMIAZING ! ) -
Sorry mate, can't advise your there except:
- make sure to install box86 and wine maybe on a clean system.
- try to install an easy game for test purposes, maybe Space Cadet 3D pinball
- and build further ... with all of the above ...

What is your rom folder now ?
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/Box86Indeed, /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/Box86/<Game folder> is my rom folder.
The <Game folder> is my wineprefix for example:
<Game folder>
-- dosdevices
-- drive_c
--- system.reg
--- user.regetc.
OK, I understand how you do it, I think.
But now I wonder, does this also work if you run emulationstation from your "cli" instead of the "Desktop" ?
Because it needs to run xinit to display it all in te terminal/cli enviroment.
The ultimate goal is that it's working in standard "RetroPie". -

The ultimate goal is that it's working in standard "RetroPie".I'm running EmulationStation as part of a "standard" RetroPie image (so no LXDE Desktop installed) on my Pi4 build. I just build the packages (wine_prefixes) on my Pi400 (Raspbian OS/LXDE with no RetroPie/ES installed).

Hey all
I have Shovel Knight/unepic /Worldofgoo/Postal1/crimsonland runing on the box86 too.And can i have more Info plz ,
How to run
Commands or AOE2 ?
plz
Got lost here abit :)I am doing it different than @mth75.
I just used the scripts from @George to install it all.To make it simple just use the repository of George instead or the original.
I rename your old setup directory !Then install it with these commands :
cd
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/GeorgeMcMullen/RetroPie-Setup.gitedit: goto https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28528/box86-and-wine-on-rpi4/77
And then just install it from the Retropie-setup in this order :
(information from the pull request from George)
The scripts must be run in order, and they will check to make sure the preceding dependencies have been met.mesa.sh - This is an updated Mesa driver, which is required by Box86. The version that is installed with the RetroPie distribution is not yet compatible.
box86.sh - This is set as an emulator because it is.
wine.sh - This is the x86 version of Wine and requires box86 in order to run. It is installed as a Port, because as the name says, Wine Is Not an Emulator.
spacecadet3dpinball.sh - This is the original Windows XP game, hosted on the Internet Archive. It is also installed as a Port as it is more like a rom and not an emulator. It is included mostly as a reference to installing other games. One note - you must not hit the Escape key to quit or you will be in a hung state in the game. Use Alt-F4 instead.If it works, then you can try different stuff.

Thanks for explaining.
Now I know that this could be a good standard solution. -
@folly
Thanks a lot for helping :)
so i did thatpi@retropie:~ $ git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/GeorgeMcMullen/RetroPie-Setup.git fatal: destination path 'RetroPie-Setup' already exists and is not an empty directory.
and i dont have any new from Retropie-setup when i launch it to install them ...
so i do i install them ? :) -

Now I know that this could be a good standard solution.You're welcome. Indeed, George Ports solutions combined with wine_prefixes make it a very feasible solution but a manual one ...

So then RetroPie-Setup becomes RetroPie-Setup.original.
This becomes your backup.
Then the RetroPie-Setup directory can be made again.You can do it like this :
cd
mv RetroPie-Setup RetroPie-Setup.original
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/GeorgeMcMullen/RetroPie-Setup.gitedit: goto https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28528/box86-and-wine-on-rpi4/77
Then it should work.

looks like it worked but when its semmes i dont have them *.sh files to install in the setup retropie itself yet .

I see, indeed, cant find those files either.
Will look for a solution. -
@folly
thanks a lot <3 :) -
Use the mv command to your needs.
Pfff. there are different branches.
That's why it didn't work.
Now it should work !, I hope.cd git clone --depth=1 --branch box86wine https://github.com/GeorgeMcMullen/RetroPie-Setup.git

@folly
Thank u so much !
Its install it !! ITS WORKING ! :)
do i need to put back my retroipesetup ?
or just update that and it will go back ?And i cant get Wine to run EXE file
it gives meBAD EXE format
I can get it working for the Wine DESKTOP !
like Commands run great ...
Got also heroes of might and magic 3 runing but it getting stuck after the logo movie :\
with wine desktop .
still getiing BAD EXE from retropie itself with sh file. -
-
And Blitzkrieg 1 running on the Pi400 (Raspbian OS) and Pi4 (Retropie). Maybe I should start a seperate thread for the games which will run on the Pi4 or keep posting in your topic?

If it doesn't you can just install the original again with the original git command.
Or indeed put back your backup.And i cant get Wine to run EXE file
it gives meBAD EXE format
How do you run wine ? (wine program.exe) ?
I think you run the wrong wine.
The wine installed by @George is here :
/opt/retropie/ports/wine/bin/wine
So basically you have to do it like this :
/opt/retropie/ports/wine/bin/wine program.exe
Or better like how George does it :cd "/home/pi/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/SpaceCadet3DPinball/" WINEDEBUG=-all LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/retropie/supplementary/mesa/lib/" setarch linux32 -L /opt/retropie/ports/wine/bin/wine '/home/pi/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/SpaceCadet3DPinball/pinball.exe' -fullscreen
You can try it this way.
But I am not sure you can get it working this way directly.
I am assuming you are using an original RetroPie install without Desktop enviroment. But box86wine requires x11 to run thats why George made ports.
So I can't help you with this now,I have to test some things myself first.I can get it working for the Wine DESKTOP !
like Commands run great ...
Got also heroes of might and magic 3 runing but it getting stuck after the logo movie :\
with wine desktop .
still getiing BAD EXE from retropie itself with sh file.Did you make your own .sh files ?
Did you try pinball ? -

That's a good idea.
Summarizing all working games in the first post just like Zering did in the old computer appreciation thread. -
@folly
