Box86 and Wine on RPi4

Folly

@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?

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

@mth75

mth75

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

shavecat

@mth75

Glad you have something working now.
Like @mth75 said, there must be something wrong in your scripts, or you have them in the wrong locations. Look at the filenames also.

@folly

ONI
to work ? :)

Hi all,

I wanted to make some port scripts.
Just to learn, test and experiment with a few things.

It's for the Remakes of "F1Spirit", "Goonies", "Maze Of Galious" and "RoadFighter" that will run in box86wine.
These games have no licence and the source-code is also available.
(With a few changes I also managed to compile some for the RPI)

To try the games just download my scripts and install it in RetroPie-Setup.
I tested the games and they should work.

With these commands you get it downloaded in the right place no mather where you run it from:
(copy all and paste in terminal)

wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/ports/box86winef1spiritremake.sh -P /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports
wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/ports/box86winegooniesremake.sh -P /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports
wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/ports/box86winemogremake.sh -P /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports
wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/ports/box86wineroadfighterremake.sh -P /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports

Let me know if it works.

@george https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md

Box86 is updated to 0.2.0, could be interesting to update your box86 install script.
