      I am trying to get Time Traveler to work and I run into this:

        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?

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

                  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 ....

                    @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

                            Time Traveler works though.

                            Please fully test ;) on 2.2.8....

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

                                  That worked. I will test Time Traveler more to make sure it works properly.

                                  Thank you.

                                    Hmmm. For me, the intro and such are working, but when you start the game, the video does not play the correct scenes. Were you able to actually play the game?

                                    FWIW: I don't have an x86 Unix setup, so everything was handled on the Pi 4B, including m2v and ogg conversation using the command-lines listed on @DirtBagXon's updated repo.

                                      Where you recode shouldn't matter, will just take a little longer. Unless there is some endian issue.

                                      There is always this route (untested): https://ffmpeg.org/download.html#build-windows

                                       

                                      • And you are using only files from the new repo with these rips?

                                      • Nothing from the original version of the game ?

                                      • You saw a new .dat creation on first run ?

                                       

                                       
                                      Sounds like frame timings in the .singe files are not corresponding with the video frames.

                                        Another couple of Singe 2 games ported over.

                                        I am not seeing any sound/video sync issues or wrong scenes on x86_64 except in maddog - but we have the original version working fine so not pursuing this.

                                        Edit:
                                        Text overlays are now working, but certain games are designed to run at a high resolution overlay in Singe 2, not supported in Singe 1.
                                        Some tweaking therefore required in .singe and peripheral image file sizes. Elementary resizing merged into repo (see above).

                                        If you fixup a Singe 2 game .singe/image  file, please fork the repo and push a merge request into the main repo in Github, for everyone to improve upon.

                                        Please pull 2.2.8-RPi afresh.

                                        Look forward to feedback from you guys.

                                          Solved. The issue was with my download source. Same content, but encoded differently, so it didn't align with the existing framefile. Coincidentally, I already DL'ed Timegal 2.0 a few weeks ago when the BlueStang started playing with Hypseus, so I was ready to go.

                                          Also, and good to know, is that the Windows version of ffmpeg worked beautifully. Took about 2 minutes to re-encode for the full video on a Dell G7.

                                          Will start playing around now...
                                          Cheers!

                                            Repo updated on getting correct size overlay and resizing images.
                                            Resizing down by factor of 3 seems to work best....

                                            I am updating repo as I improve them....

                                            Hmmm... must say I prefer original TimeGal overlay...
