    @thepigamer I would really fix it felix to run in emulation station. I want to make an arcade cabinet without having to see anything outside of emulation station. I can get the game to work but not in emulation station

      @thepigamer I have installed xserver but not sure how to merge that with adding a system to retropie.

        @thepigamer and I very much appreciate your response. If I can get fix it felix to work with retropie, it would be like finding the holy grail for some arcade fans. There is a huge interest in fix it felix and the best option is either a dedicated windows pc or compromise by using the Sega ROM (not as good, doesn't require coins, etc)

          Im not sure if felix is a Windows game but if it is, step by step:

          • Exit emulationstation to console.
          • in console mode try to get "xinit xterm" to work.
            ----> you will have to install a bunch of packages to succeed ( sera sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg etc in my guide)
            This is imho the hardest part.
            When xinit xterm works, get a downloadable x86 wine and git clone and make box86.
            Once you got wine, xinit xterm and box86 installed, you can try starting your exe game from the command line inside xterm with your x86 wine.
            If you got xterm wine and x86 in console to work, if you want it to work in retropie easiest is to make a shell script that you will store in "ports" roms.

          Adding wine entry is actually just eye candy...

          Give me détails on the step you are having trouble with... I can update my guide thanks to you!

            @thepigamer TwisterOS has Box86 and Wine presintalled and integrated into the OS. If you do an update to your guide, you might be able to start with TwisterOS

              @thepigamer well, it shouldn't be a windows game but that is how they did it. It looks like an old arcade game like donkey kong, but they made it in windows. Oh, and twisterOS has retropie pre-integrated in the OS as well. Just a matter of getting the game in emulation station

                Ok it looks like Fix it Felix has a windows version and it runs on Twister OS.

                I stopped using Twister OS because I am on a Pi 3B+ and TOS is slow on this machine.

                --> Do you start RetroPie from TwisterOS or from PINN? my guide is usable for "RetroPie from PINN" (i should mention it, thanks for the hint)

                As for RetroPie inside TwisterOS, you shouldn't really have to install xserver: TwisterOS already has it builtin. It should just be a matter of scripting.

                Can you type me the command line do you start Fix it Felix in TwisterOS? (example: /home/pi/wine/bin/wine /home/pi/games/fixit/game.exe)
                I might be able to help you run it from EmulationStation in TwisterOS from that command.

                    @thepigamer is it possable to have diablo2 to work on the Retropie system, or is it a no since it needs a desktop.

                    been messing around with whats on your site and i cant get it to launch.

                      Ok try this (in twisteros > Terminal emulator):
                      mkdir /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports
                      echo "cd /home/pi/.wine/drive_c/fix\ it\ felix/;/home/pi/bin/wine/bin/wine ./FixItFelixJr.exe" > /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/fixitfelix.sh
                      chmod 755 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/fixitfelix.sh

                      --> fixitfelix.sh should be displayed in "ports" section of emulationstation and should start when invoked.

                      --> make sure fixitfelix.sh works by running it from terminal first: if it doesn't work you will get error messages in console while running it directly in emulationstation will just fail and return to emulationstation without any error message.

                      Directory you gave me is important since I use it in the command I used hereabove. If you meet issues try not using any space in directory, it can be misleading when you begin with scripting

                      I used echo to create a .sh file in the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports directory which contains the roms. you can of course use gedit fixitfelix.sh or nano fixitfelix.sh to type it if you don't like to use echo.

                      Hope it helps!

                        Diablo II may run in RetroPie but:

                        • If you are using an older Pi (3B+ and inferior) you will run it with legacy driver which may lead to a compatibility issue. Ideally make sure you are in a fake kms configuration but older versions of emulationstation (4.6 and older) will not start with fake KMS. I haven't experienced Diablo II with RetroPie and Legacy Driver. I know Diablo II ARM port needs a specific version of mesa drivers and it might not work with legacy version of RetroPie. I don't think RetroPie made a fake-kms compliant version for older Pi's, it seems to be only availlable on Pi 4. So here you might have to wait till the RetroPie guys issue a fake-kms compliant version for Pi 3. This won't be a desktop environment issue (desktop environment is simulated by startx) but rather a fake kms/opengl issue for you.

                        • Again, with an older Pi (3B+ and inferior) you will have to install a 3G/1G kernel. I provide a 3B+ compiled version of 3G/1G kernel to save people 15 hours of compiling on my blog. I don't know if it works on 3B. you might have to go the kernel compile route :-(. You need 3G/1G kernel to use wine, no matter if it is wine-ARM or wine-X86.

                        • Diablo II works with wine-ARM. If you are already making x86 games run on RetroPie (for example Fallout 2 or Heroes 4) you will have to be very careful to make 1 wineprefix dedicated to x86 wine and 1 wineprefix dedicated to wine ARM. This can frustrate you during hours if you don't really understand how wine and wineprefixes work.

                        • Otherwise Diablo II may work with a xserver/startx configuration. (see my guide to install xserver, startx, xterm, tvservice, etc.)

                        Good luck!

                          @thepigamer thanks for that, im on a Pi4, i do have that going for me.

                          i do think i have it almost good, i just need to wait till im home to get my CDs so i can get the right version of the game.

                          ill post once tomorrow what i find out

                            If you have the opportunity try first running a plain Diablo II on a Raspbian installation. it is the easiest.

                            --> Step by step gives hope :-)

                              @thepigamer i did get diablo 2 to work on Raspbian.

                              i did mess with it on retropie but i ended up getting a error about something missing,
                              i do think im missing some driver or something, ill give it another go since i know that it does in fact work

                                Is it RetroPie from PINN?
                                Did you succeed in setting FAKE-KMS in raspi-config and starting emulationstation afterwards?

                                Can you try exiting emulationstation, starting an xterm session (startx xterm) and running your "raspbian"-bound diablo 2 shell script? (with diablo 2 specific mesa drivers handy?)

                                You might have to start startx xterm with classic fake-kms drivers and once its started override the drivers with the ones from diablo 2...

                                  @thepigamer so it seems that my problem was i did not install mesa correctly.
                                  i fixed that issue
                                  so now i got it to start.

                                  not sure if the sound was working or not. since i have BGM and i was launching it by command line. so the music did not turn off. lol

                                  but im getting there

                                    @thepigamer thank you so much. I got a bit busy this week but I will give this a shot. I'll let you know how it goes

                                      WTG,
                                      Here I confirm that the legacy driver blocks ARM-diablo2 from launching in RetroPie (I tried on my 3B+ so if there was some troubleshooting I could help you but it's a nogo :-( ).

                                      Diablo 2 mesa drivers don't start while trying to run it. So hopefully RetroPie team will release a fake-kms compliant RetroPie for older Pi's otherwise Pi 3B+ and older users will have to run Diablo 2 only from Raspbian/LXDE based distros.

                                      There is still some way to go from having it starting from startx xterm to having a bash script which launches itself from ports section or from a custom section.

                                      if xterm needs to be launched first (as in startx LD_LIBRARY_PATH.... wine libd2game_arm_sa.exe.so does not work) you will have to resort doing advanced scripting. this part of my guide may help you:

                                      xterm -hold -e `cd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/wine/installed/HOMM4_eng;WINEPREFIX=/home/pi/winex86 /home/pi/wine-pol/bin/wine ./heroes4.exe;killall xinit;exit` &
                                      matchbox-window-manager
                                      exit

                                      You will have to replace the heroes 4 launching command by diablo 2 launching command.

                                      If you need further help with that don't hesitate to answer or PM me.

                                        i just realized that i did not mentioned how i installed it.
                                        i used piKiss to install it all. and im on a Pi4

                                        so i know that changes it all up.

                                          Im blind from now (D2+retropie doesn't work on Pi3b+)
                                          I have 2 tracks to try to help you:

                                          1. if you are using HDMI check hdmi_group and hdmi_drive in /boot/config.txt
                                          2. try to get Alsa to work in xterm :
                                            Download a .wav sample file
                                            Install Alsa (I think
                                            sudo apt-get install alsa-utils
                                            Not sure though)
                                            Install pulseaudio (sudo apt-get install pulseaudio)
                                            And try alsamixer command to check your sound is linked.
                                            Then try playing your .wav file inside xterm
                                            With paplay xxx.wav and aplay xxx.wav
                                            If both work diablo2 will work too.

                                          Pikiss shouldn't change anything, just make all easier.
