Ok, that looks good, I am just setting up a clean RetroPie here.... to test.

DirtBagXon

Ok, I am seeing exactly what you are seeing, I can't immediately see why it's looking for the path it's looking for.

Will investigate....

DirtBagXon

mkdir  /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/singe
ln -s /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/singe /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/singe

cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/singe
ln -s ../timegal.daphne timegal
ln -s ../hayate.daphne hayate
...

No -datadir needed in daphne.sh - edited above

DirtBagXon

roms
|-- daphne
|    |
|    |-- timegal.daphne
|    |    |
|    |    |-- timegal.commands  (Optional)
|    |    |-- timegal.txt
|    |    |-- timegal.m2v
|    |    |-- timegal.ogg
|    |    |-- timegal.singe
|    |
|    +-- singe
|         +-- timegal  <<- link (ln -s ../timegal.daphne timegal)

What was missing was the symlink below:

ln -s /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/singe /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/singe

And the new daphne.sh

@dirtbagxon yes, this structure is MUCH prettier and covers all the bases. Tested, and works as expected. Great stuff!! ...yet another day of your life sucked into the vortex of HypseuSinge.

Really appreciated.

Darksavior

Ok , nevermind, deleting folder did it

Good deal. I was prepping a list of possibilities. Sounds like you're close now. Fingers crossed.

Darksavior

@roslof Spoke too soon. Tried multiple times. Trying ln -s ../timegal.daphne timegal

ln: failed to create symbolic link 'timegal': Operation not permitted

Is this on an external drive? FAT32 partition?
Permissions of folders correct?
Are you performing this from within daphne/singe?

Darksavior

@roslof

Yes, fat32 usb stick.
I haven't messed with permissions. Is 755 fine?
Yes.

pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms/daphne/singe $ ln -s ../timegal.daphne timegal
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'timegal': Operation not permitted
pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms/daphne/singe $

roslof

@darksavior I'm fairly certain you can't create symlinks on FAT32. There is a thread here:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/19433/symbolic-link-operation-prohibited

Darksavior

@roslof Oh ok I can give up now. Not formatting my drive to ext for like two singe games. Ah well..

Correct, you cannot create symlinks on FAT32. The filesystem doesn't support it.

You can however, duplicate the data, i.e. copy timegal.daphne as timegal into the singe folder.

Yes is doubling the amount of disk space, but I presume you have the same issue with lair and dle21 or ace and sae which use the same data for different versions of Dragons Lair/Space Ace ?

You could also save space by linking them:

ln -s lair.daphne dle21.daphne

We are down to individual user cases now.

There is a way around it but wasteful on disk space.

Darksavior

@dirtbagxon I'll test that out a bit later.
No, I do not have that issue with dragon's lair or space ace. I have only one folder for each game called dle21.daphneand sae.daphne

roslof

@dirtbagxon said in New Hypseus and lr-Daphne to add on Retropie-Setup:

You could also save space by linking them:
ln -s lair dle21

Daphne games can be handled by having one main directory for everything (lair.daphne) and a separate folder called dle21.daphne that contains a sole, lonely framefile named dle21.txt and whose first line points to ../lair.daphne

If it's for just two games......

But I would always use ext filesystems ;)

Aha, by editing the frame file! - You could also try that..... But Singe games have more than just video/audio files referenced in the framefile, they have the .singe file which references all the other bits and pieces.

Infact, in might only need the peripheral files in the copied directory within singe - Put all files in there to start with, when that works try taking out the large video files etc, and see what it needs.

The errors were only complaining about the peripheral files, I THINK it still read the video/audio from the timegal.daphne directory due to the framefile....
