New Hypseus and lr-Daphne to add on Retropie-Setup

312BhP

@DirtBagXon I discovered your fork late last night and so far it works great on my Pi 4 8GB (In a modded Arcade1up cab).

It seems you have released another version while I slept so can I please ask the correct procedure to update a working install?

Thanks everyone for the great work going on!

DirtBagXon

@312bhp

Easiest upgrade path for this release (2.2.1 ) would be to follow the removal instructions in the README, and then re-install.

The reason I say "on this release" is that I did quite a bit of refactoring of overlays and added new fonts and features:

hyp2.2.1.png

You can revert to the previous overlay/look by adding:

 -alt_osd -blend_osd

...to the lair.daphne/lair.commands file as detailed in RetroPie daphne docs for adding game specific arguments.

On a 'normal' update, it would follow something like this:

git pull origin RetroPie

Then recompile following the 'make' step in docs and copy over the new hypseus binary:

cp build/hypseus  /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin

Hopefully it won't change too much from now on... just ironing out some things that bugged me and better handling of HD video.

@Darksavior

Edit: Just saw @roslof already pointed you in this direction... but definitely not coming from daphne.sh

From your log above:

SDL1_VIDEODRIVER=dispmanx

This looks to be SDL1 specific, remember hypseus is SDL2, there are several functions/operations that won't port over correctly...

I have no ideas where that is coming from in your execution, certainly not from the daphne.sh file, something else in RetroPie is passing environment variables/arguments to that script.

Certainly related to the size parameters you are passing:

SDL_DISPMANX_WIDTH=1920 SDL_DISPMANX_HEIGHT=1080

@dirtbagxon thanks, I will try it tonight. I was amazed last night when I installed it and a scoreboard appeared!

@Darksavior another thought is that is might be coming from the Daphne command-line ines_systems.cfg. Either the default in /etc/emulationstation or if you are using an override, likely found in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation.

For reference, here is my entry:

<system>
  <name>daphne</name>
  <fullname>Daphne</fullname>
  <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne</path>
  <extension>.daphne .sh .DAPHNE .SH</extension>

@roslof I have the same exact entry. I'll start fresh whenever there's a new release of retropie.

Try a search of the config files:

grep -R "SDL1_VIDEODRIVER" /etc/ 2>/dev/null 

grep -R "SDL1_VIDEODRIVER" /opt/retropie/configs/ 2>/dev/null

Darksavior

@dirtbagxon Both commands didn't find anything.

Then search over everything:

sudo grep -R "SDL1_VIDEODRIVER" / 2>/dev/null

If this doesn't find it, I give up.

SINGE: Font surface is null!

This is the same issue that @roslof had:

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/255724

i.e. Bad font file.

"I updated to the newer version of Time Traveler (2.0) and it works straight-away (FWIW, the older one only uses one font... Suspect my issue had something to do with not having an overlay font, as an overlay font was probably expected)"

Most probably this one:

singe/timetraveler/ds-digib.ttf

Note, also you are passing SDL1 parameters to a SDL2 application:

SDL1_VIDEODRIVER=dispmanx SDL_DISPMANX_WIDTH=1920 SDL_DISPMANX_HEIGHT=1080

@Darksavior has the same issue, but hasn't solved where this is coming from yet....

Did you get it from kangaroo punch?

DirtBagXon

So would anyone be interested in getting Singe 2 version of Timegal running in Hypseus Singe ?

:)

Of course, and Bravo.

New release 2.2.8 - Psuedo Singe 2 support

Grab Singe 2 games from kangaroopunch - you will actually only need the .mp4 from this archive file.
Then recode the .mp4 to .m2v and .ogg files needed by Hypseus - details on the repo below. You only need to do this once, but the faster the PC the better.
https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows - this works well for Windows users, @roslof confirmed .
Then take the peripheral data from the directories on the new repo here: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus_singe_data
Add the .m2v and .ogg file to that new directory and the rest is as per usual singe game setup.

These need testing, so let me know your findings, I suspect many issues....

I tested and added dl2e (Dragon's Lair 2 Enhanced), I think this has now been removed from kangaroopunch ....

roslof

@dirtbagxon FWIW, some issues with their registration currently. Says that an account is created, but it doesn't actually create an account. Separately, I'm DLing Time Gal for Singe 2 from a different source.

Seems so strange that people hand-build scripts instead of using ROMs. Not authentic (emulation) but certainly functional.

You need to update Hypseus Singe to version 2.2.8-RPi - That is v2.2.6-RPi
