      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 /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.

                          I confirm, It was the problem , In my new edit above, I have use .

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

                          To fix that.

                            @mitu please confirm the correct command line argument to install Xorg & any dependency's, is the below whats needed ? :

                            sudo apt-get install xorg --install-suggests

                                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.

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

                                      This looks like an interrupted network connection. Run sudo apt update before and make sure it completes, then try installing the package(s) again.

                                        @red_trev OOps! I've updated the link so it should work now: link

                                        I also completely forgot about those initial permission issues. I think I had them too. As Mitu says. hopefully sudo apt update fixes it for you!

                                        For anyone interested, both Dirt Devils and WRC Le Mans are fixable:

                                        -To fix Dirt Devils, copy epr-19338a.bin from your Scud Race zip into the Dirt Devils zip. The game should run now

                                        -To Fix Lemans, you need a copy of Sega Touring Car Championship. Rename the contained epr-18261.ic9 to epr-18261.bin and drop it into your lemans zip.

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

                                          This looks like an interrupted network connection. Run sudo apt update before and make sure it completes, then try installing the package(s) again.

                                          I have some custom systems for Atomiswave / Naomi , will the update wipe these?

                                          I have the updated 'es_systems' file on my laptop , if I Filezilla this into the correct folder after an update should the custom systems appear again?

                                            No.

                                            A customized es_systems.cfg file is not deleted/modified by an update (either OS/package or RetroPie).
