@red_trev

Same setup and same problems. Here's my runcommand.log ------> Permission denied
the permission number is 644 for Game.xml and It should be 755 ... I think

New edit:

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.

@mitu
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.

[Red_Trev]

@dteam i gave permissions to all those files just incase, ill remove the extra Config folder once im up & running :

@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

[mitu]

@red_trev said in Sega model 3 #segamodel3:

sudo apt install xorg should be enough.

[DTEAM]

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.

same issue as before, it fetches 97%, hangs, then fails (excuse the poor screenshot)

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 ?

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

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

[mechafatnick]

@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.

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).

@mechafatnick
In the original open source Supermodel_0.2a_Src, they give a Makefile.SDL.UNIX.GCC and we can see in Supermodel_0.2a_Src\Src\Inputs\Inputs.cpp a split between UI keys and configurables keys for Supermodel.ini

Do you think It's hard to add UI Controls "settable" in Supermodel.ini . So we could use the keyboard shortcuts (hotkeys) on the gamepads and close the emulator from a gamepad.

UI Controls -----> Inputs.cpp only usable with keyboard for now

using namespace std;

CInputs::CInputs(CInputSystem *system) : m_system(system)
{
	// UI controls are hard coded here, everything else is initialized to NONE so that it can be loaded from
	// the config file.
	
	// UI Controls  
	uiExit             = AddSwitchInput("UIExit",             "Exit UI",               GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_ESCAPE");
	uiReset            = AddSwitchInput("UIReset",            "Reset",                 GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_ALT+KEY_R");
	uiPause            = AddSwitchInput("UIPause",            "Pause",                 GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_ALT+KEY_P");
	uiSaveState        = AddSwitchInput("UISaveState",        "Save State",            GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_F5");
	uiChangeSlot       = AddSwitchInput("UIChangeSlot",       "Change Save Slot",      GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_F6");
	uiLoadState        = AddSwitchInput("UILoadState",        "Load State",            GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_F7");
	uiMusicVolUp	   = AddSwitchInput("UIMusicVolUp",		  "Increase Music Volume", GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_F10");
	uiMusicVolDown	   = AddSwitchInput("UIMusicVolDown",	  "Decrease Music Volume", GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_F9");
	uiSoundVolUp	   = AddSwitchInput("UISoundVolUp",		  "Increase Sound Volume", GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_F12");
	uiSoundVolDown	   = AddSwitchInput("UISoundVolDown",	  "Decrease Sound Volume", GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_F11");
	uiDumpInpState     = AddSwitchInput("UIDumpInputState",   "Dump Input State",      GAME_INPUT_UI, "NONE");	// disabled for release
	uiClearNVRAM       = AddSwitchInput("UIClearNVRAM",       "Clear NVRAM",           GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_ALT+KEY_N");
	uiSelectCrosshairs = AddSwitchInput("UISelectCrosshairs", "Select Crosshairs",     GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_ALT+KEY_I");
	uiToggleFrLimit    = AddSwitchInput("UIToggleFrameLimit", "Toggle Frame Limiting", GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_ALT+KEY_T");
#ifdef SUPERMODEL_DEBUGGER
	uiEnterDebugger    = AddSwitchInput("UIEnterDebugger",    "Enter Debugger",        GAME_INPUT_UI, "KEY_ALT+KEY_B");
#endif

Also in Inputs.cpp and settable in Supermodel.ini (partial view)

	// Common Controls
	start[0]           = AddSwitchInput("Start1",   "P1 Start",  GAME_INPUT_COMMON, "NONE");
	start[1]           = AddSwitchInput("Start2",   "P2 Start",  GAME_INPUT_COMMON, "NONE");
	coin[0]            = AddSwitchInput("Coin1",    "P1 Coin",   GAME_INPUT_COMMON, "NONE");
	coin[1]            = AddSwitchInput("Coin2",    "P2 Coin",   GAME_INPUT_COMMON, "NONE");
	service[0]         = AddSwitchInput("ServiceA", "Service A", GAME_INPUT_COMMON, "NONE");

thanks , I have tried update / upgrade, then install Xorg / xinit and the same issue arose .... missing files on the 'raspbian.raspberrypi.org' , which i confirmed by navigating via web browser & searching the folder structure.

is there any other way of installing Xorg / xinit, or should I chase up raspbian themselves & ask for the missing files to be re-uploaded ?

i see a similar file name (xterm_344-1+deb10u1_armhf.deb ) in this website: http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/pool/main/x/xterm/

The problem is on your end - your internet connection is not working correctly (DNS issues ?), the necessary file(s) are there, in the Raspberry Pi's repository.
Is a simple ping to raspbian.raspberrypi.org working ? Do you have any proxy set-up ?

fixed it ! .... thought it might be SSH interfering with it, so went to turn it OFF via Raspi-Config, when i clicked that menu option the below happened automatically:

when done, i turned off SSH, was able to install Xorg no problem via cmd line, rebooted system, Supermodel worked perfect

moral of the story is to update the underlying OS every-so often ! thanks for your help ;)

@dteam what is button 5 & 6 on the keyboard / game pad ?
