Duke Nukem 3d hi-res pack with rpi3b+?
-
@polygaryd said in Duke Nukem 3d hi-res pack with rpi3b+?:
Two questions are why doesn't polymer work with eduke32?
See my previous answer.
And why does polymost have graphics issues in eduke3d through retropie?
I don't know.
-
im on a pi4b now with 8gb ram. so does your previous answer about it not being supported by the 3b+ still hold true for the pi4?
-
Yes, I think polymer renderer would not work with OpenGL2.1 (as supported by the Pi 4's drivers). Feel free to compile eduke32 with Polymer support and run it, it should report on the missing GL extensions that it expects to find.
-
It runs with polymer but it quits out shortly after changing to that renderer. So it looks like your correct.
As for polymost renderer and the graphics issues I was thinking of trying to call XINIT: in the runcommand to see what that does. everyone else that has it running with polymost seems to have lxde open and they are starting it from the desktop. I figure its worth a try. Your thoughts?
-
@polygaryd Sure, feel free to experiment using the desktop/lxde. That's not a supported configuration for the Pi though, so YMMV.
-
No I meant trying XINIT: command to run from emulationstation in an x-window like the people using it from the lxde desktop.
-
I tried the XINIT command in the launch script from emulationstation and not only did it not fix the incorrect images but also I have no keyboard control just like in dune legacy.
-
@polygaryd you may need to use a window manager like matchbox in conjunction with xinit. I'm wondering if when you are running the x window it's losing focus and that's why your keyboard stops working.
-
I have no idea what that is or how to use it, so I'll look into it and see what I can come up with for results. I appreciate the tip.
-
@polygaryd I just realized I misread what you said. You said running the game using x didn't help AND the keyboard wasn't working. Unfortunately a window manager is not likely to fix any visual issues.
-
Oh ok. well I guess I'll try it in lxde like everyone else is doing. I never ended up even looking up what you suggested I try anyhow. I've been too busy. I can still maybe use your suggestion for dune legacy though. The graphics are fine but the keyboard is missing for some reason.
-
After doing a quick search it seems that matchbox is similar to lxde, in the way that its another graphical interface like a desktop? It seems to replace lxde also or can you use matchbox in conjunction with lxde? from the info I'm finding its confusing me a little bit as you can probably tell by my questions.
-
@polygaryd I'm not familiar with lxde. But matchbox is just a window manager when you are running X. It's not a desktop environment, it just provides some additional functionality.
-
I cannot figure out how to run matchbox window manager to save my life. I have it installed and I go to run it after hitting f4 to drop to terminal from emulationstation and it tells me it cant open display check my display string.
-
@polygaryd take a look at the script module for minecraft for how to do it. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/ports/minecraft.sh
