OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase

[IGA]

@boolean Yup, it's running... but half levels not working. You cannot access to it. - It's old problem, started from my attempt to play on android phone. And solution for android was choose/find correct version of open bor exclusive for rescue-palooza.
So, i think, we need find same current version for retropie....

[boolean]

@iga Judging from your screenshots (you've extracted the game like I did before which is now deprecated) you're running build 3016 instead of 6510. Am I right? I've edited my last post to provide some clarification.

On v6510 TMNT: Rescue-Palooza! plays out of the box and (as far as I can tell) without issues. No need for any savegame hocuspocus.

Yes...
Now I've did update ( after deleting openbor.sh, have installed from Rb setup->manage packages->experemental packages and it's showing me 6510 version.
But when i go to the ports->openbor, it's show me screen with 3016 again

So what more i need to do with es_systems.cfg ?

[boolean]

@iga Your '/etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg' should look like this:

  <system>
    <name>openbor</name>
    <fullname>OpenBOR - Beat 'em Up Game Engine</fullname>
    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/openbor</path>
    <extension>.pak</extension>
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ openbor %ROM%</command>
    <platform>openbor</platform>
    <theme>openbor</theme>
  </system>

To verify that v6510 has correctly been installed, please check if everything is in place:

If you fancy art, you should create a directory under your current theme called "openbor" as well.

/etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/openbor/
├── art
│   ├── controller.svg
│   ├── system2.svg
│   └── system.svg
└── theme.xml
 
1 directory, 4 files

Just let me know if something isn't clear!

@boolean First of all thank you for your responsiveness.

I guess I'm a little confused - as i understood, after using script

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git
cd RetroPie-Extra/
./install-extras.sh

we got able to install "new" experimental packages from "new" mange packages menu in RetroPie-Setup, where new openbor located.
But I already had old version of openbor installed....

And now, when i run openbor from retropie it's run 3016 version. So, i decided uninstall it. But when i uninstall open bor from new manage packages menu, i've uninstall 6510 version, and 3016 still stay.... - cause i can't find it there ( in new experimental packages menu) - it's not there now, .... (only 6510 available)

So, now i need to understand how get back old experimental packages menu to uninstall original bor. And only after that install 6510, probably
As i understood...

@iga You're welcome! You can use the original script from the repo (https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/ports/openbor.sh) to uninstall v3016 and then use the new v6510 script (https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/blob/master/scriptmodules/emulators/openbor.sh) to install the latest build.

IGA and I got sidetracked on the Streets of Rage Remake (latest retropie 2019) topic. Would it be possible for an admin to move our discussion over here?

@boolean I done it ( I've delete old 3016, then install new 6510 ). But it not appears in ports menu or anywhere else in emustation.
And I don't understand what's going on....

[IGA]

@iga

or to new openbor needs extracted folders, not files.pac?

[IGA]

OOOhhhh....
Now i see
I've got it! - with new version o openbor we need create separate folder openbor in rom directories. Not in folder ports as it was before.....

• it is important information!

[IGA]

@boolean STOP!

• IT'S STILL NOT WORK!!! even on the new version 6510!

• we still can't enter in levels swamp\beach\van\park\rooftop as i've said before.... (v1.1.1)
  :-(

@boolean I've moved the posts here.
@IGA please use this topic for your OpenBor installation/running problems.

[IGA]

@mitu ok,
sorry.... if what...

[IGA]

And why after installing openbor 6510 we've got folders Pack, Screenshots, Saves, Logs in /home/pi/ folder? - not in openbor's folder

[boolean]

@iga Those are created by the game engine itself. If you delete them, they'll automatically be recreated when you launch OpenBOR. I've deleted those folders and replaced them for symbolic links, which point to the preferred locations.

@cyperghost (crcerror) has made a fork of tree 'https://github.com/DCurrent/openbor/tree/d6938eea5f22c91eea28294190fd0e1aa60daca4' in which he could make the required modifications. If this isn't feasible for whatever reason, another solution would be extending zerojay's script to modify the source code after the project has been cloned from git, before starting the build process.

@boolean I used symlinks in my initial script module. I do not know what @zerojay is doing.

[IGA]

@boolean How to cteate symbolic links to replace it to current folder?

There are indeed symlinks, but not at the desired location, which is '/home/pi'. I don't know why/if zerojay has changed this. Currently these are the only links created by the scipt:

Just delete the directories 'ScreenShots, Saves, Paks' and 'Logs' from '/home/pi' and run these commands:

ln -s /opt/retropie/configs/openbor/ScreenShots /home/pi/ScreenShots
ln -s /opt/retropie/configs/openbor/Saves /home/pi/Saves
ln -s /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/openbor /home/pi/Paks
ln -s /dev/shm /home/pi/Logs
