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 ...

You have to rename your original RetroPie-Setup directory with the mv command.
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.git

Then it should work.

I see, indeed, cant find those files either.
Will look for a solution.

thanks a lot <3 :)

@shavecat

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

I suspect Box86 isn't running?

@George

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?

I am almost certain, you can just update an it will go back and keeping George his files.
If it doesn't you can just install the original again with the original git command.
Or indeed put back your backup.

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.

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.

I did exactly what @George proposes I only reverted the .wine (bottle location(s)) to a newly made box86 rom folder. Note: every game I install uses his own fresh wine bottle (also called prefix).

for example, Commandos1:

(1.)

I made the script commandos1_xinit.sh in /opt/retropie/ports/commandos1/

#!/bin/bash
xset -dpms s off s noblank
cd "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/box86/Commandos1/drive_c/GOG Games/Commandos"
matchbox-window-manager &
WINEDEBUG=-all LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/retropie/supplementary/mesa/lib/" setarch linux32 -L /opt/retropie/ports/wine/bin/wine '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/box86/Commandos1/drive_c/GOG Games/Commandos/comandos.exe' -fullscreen

(2.)

I created the cfg file: emulators.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/commandos1/

commandos1 = "XINIT:/opt/retropie/ports/commandos1/commandos1_xinit.sh"
default = "commandos1"

(3.)

Place your Commandos1 folder in /home/pi/Retropie/Box86

Yes, I was working on it :-) ... see above

shavecat

@mth75
still not getting it to work from my sh file.
its just give me now black screen for a sec' and quit back . :(

mth75

@shavecat Well, sometimes you have to start a few times before the game runs. I believe this a Box86 issue.

shavecat

@mth75

mth75

@shavecat yep
