      @notthesame it needs openGL, that's why you have to run it using an x session or desktop.

        @notthesame sorry i meant the legacy 3d engine in the emu itself , it has two engines you need to force -legacy3d in the command line, about the rpi4 video driver is the normal vc4-fkms-v3d over X

            This was compiled on an RPi4 given the instructions in this thread. Get Bass was able to come up and play but there's major graphics issues with it.

              Edit:

              Solved my own issues!

              For me this was showing in a tiny window and wasn't registering any of the controls. To solve it I set the resolution to 640 x 480 in runcommand and have this in the emulators file:

              supermodel = "XINIT:/opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/supermodel -game-xml-file=/opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Config/Games.xml -legacy3d -sound-volume=50 -music-volume=60 -no-vsync -no-throttle -no-dsb -res=496,384 %ROM%"
              default = "supermodel"
              

              Though by default it looks in <bin folder>/Config, for me it was looking in <my user folder>/Config for its ini file. I moved the ini into a folder there and it was good to go (guess a sym link would have solved this too?)

                      @mechafatnick hi there, have followed your instructions but games do not work, please confirm I have correct folder structure for .ini

                      a0112d19-77e6-48c2-8c73-836dc0eef891-image.png

                      here is new line added to arcade emulator text file:

                      1f097bd2-3da2-440b-ab8f-3da4b3a33091-image.png

                      here is emulator itself:

                      ab056f77-697d-4949-9615-d5e65386b082-image.png

                      maybe its the ROMs ? should i check their contents with the Games XML file ?

                        It loads with this:

                        pi@retropie:~ $ chmod 755 -R /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin
                        pi@retropie:~ $ chmod 755 -R /home/pi/Config
                        

                        But I have a message: cancelled - Network board not present, for some games (like Daytona2) but I found this https://www.supermodel3.com/FAQ.html#NetworkBoardError.

                        Spikeout run well. It runs at full speed on my Pi4. It's impressive. I have set my controller buttons, but I don't know how to exit the emulator with my gamepad yet. thanks @Myzar for this thread.

                          @dteam thanks , i changed those permissions but still no luck, checking error log gives:

                          /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh line 1259: xinit: command not found

                          I tried sudo apt get install xorg, which installed about 97% of the items but threw an error for the last package, and sudo apt get install xinit, which threw an error right away & didnt install anything ....

                          tried to load a Supermodel game again & same error in log : xinit: command not found

                            I don't know that much about Xinit. Probably @mitu know what to do.

                            I’ll take a look on that today.

                              xinit is in the xinit package, but installing xorg should install xinit as a dependency.

                              /dev/shm/retropie_xinitrc: line 6: /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/supermodel: Permission denied

                              This looks like the file is not executable by the running user. Check that the executable bit is set on the file with ls -l /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/supermodel.

                                Finally, we don't need /home/pi/Config folder You need It . It's just a permission problem. It's a good emulator and It runs well on Pi4. I'm trying to found a way to exit it without a keyboard.I haven't found anything yet.

                                        The official source is here https://www.supermodel3.com/Download.html

                                        They give the source code "Supermodel Version 0.2a source code" . You have the readme.txt file with informations about the emulator.

                                        They talk about gamepads setup (we can't modify the Esc button... for now) and they give the game compatibility matrix.

                                          error says : "Temporary failure resolving 'raspbian.raspberrypi.org'"

                                          although i can hit it via web browser, so it is not offline: http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/

                                          to add, when i navigate to the URL in the error message (http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/pool/main/x/xterm/) the file its looking for (xterm_344-1_armhf.deb) is not listed .... also http://​raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster/ does not exist

                                          is there any other way i can install via command line ?

                                            ill remove the extra Config folde

                                            Finally, you need It to use your gamepad setting. It could be a symbolic link with /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Config/Supermodel.ini

                                            mkdir  /home/pi/Config
                                            ln -s /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Config/Supermodel.ini /home/pi/Config/Supermodel.ini
