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

@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 don't need to login, they are available from the site though.

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.Hypseus Singe for RetroPie: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe

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.
Titan AE
Puss in Boots
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...

Your overlay fonts and outlines around the "timegal" characters in the lower left look much better than on my Pi 4B (by a lot). Can't seem to get rid of the odd white silhouettes. Yours seem to anti-alias much better. Hard to describe.

Try the
globals.singe:fontQuality(FONT_QUALITY_BLENDED)to FONT_QUALITY_SOLID or FONT_QUALITY_SHADED vice versa....

Being dumb, these are sprites not fonts, so doubt that will change....Hypseus Singe for RetroPie: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe

No dice, as you expected.
I did view the converted images and they look perfectly fine. It's something about how singe is rendering sprites. Antialiasing seems busted. The white silhouette appears around fonts when using blended or shaded, too. FWIW, this is nothing new since this project started. Again, something legacy/inherited. -

Try adding
-sdl_software_renderingto atimegal.commandsfile:/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/timegal.daphne/timegal.commandsIt might stop game loading completely, I haven't tried on RPi, but also may offer different rendering.....
The rendering is changed by SDL when the
-fullscreenoption is used. Which the RetroPie scripts use by default as I recall. That is why mine look sharper above as they were in a window not SDL_WINDOW_FULLSCREEN_DESKTOP.Google for SDL2 font crappiness , it's rife.
