      Hi

      When i'm using your old /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/supermodel, It run well, but when I run your new file. I get this message in Supermodel.log

      [Error] OpenGL initialization failed: Unknown error
      
      [Info]  Program terminated due to an error.
      

      and in shm/runcommand.log this message

      Executing (via 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 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/model3/spikeout.zip
      
      /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/supermodel: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL2_net-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
      xinit: connection to X server lost
      
      waiting for X server to shut down (II) Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.
      

      Could it be your new changes with R3DShaderTriangles.h?

          @dteam That's surprising! try:

          sudo apt-get install libsdl2-net-dev

              It works with that. Thanks.
              UI buttons settings work also with gamepads !!! Fantastic

                @red_trev what happens when you ditch xinit and lower the emulator Res to 496 *384?

                  via command line it opens in a small window, should I try that via emulators.cfg ?

                      but the whole point is not playing in a box a quarter of the screen size... is there any method to remove this limitation? I can see the video is increased but it's focused on bottom left corner, why is it doing this? is it XINIT causing it ?

                        Hi ,

                        I'm able to save games but doesn't able to load them with this symlink:

                        ln -s /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Saves Saves
                        

                        I don't know why for now.

                        For screen view, in Supermodel.log you can see more options

                        XResolution=496
                        YResolution=384
                        FullScreen=0
                        WideScreen=0
                        Stretch=0
                        WideBackground=0
                        

                        I'll try those later

                          For full screen ... I did It !!!!!

                          1- you have to delete -res=496,384 and replace that by nothing. All the video settings must be done in Supermodel.ini

                          Supermodel-normal = "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%"
                          

                          2 - Go in Supermodel.ini and add :

                          XResolution=496
                          YResolution=384
                          FullScreen=0
                          WideScreen=0
                          Stretch=0
                          WideBackground=0
                          

                          3- Set you screen resolution like you want but never use FullScreen. You can use WideScreen, Strech or WideBackGround. With Full Screen, hotkeys stop working.

                          Mine (5 inch screen)

                          ;setup for 5 inch lcd touchscreen 
                          ;XResolution=496
                          ;YResolution=384
                          XResolution=800  
                          YResolution=480
                          FullScreen=0
                          WideScreen=1
                          Stretch=0
                          WideBackground=0
                          

                          It slowdown the emulator a little bit, but not that bad.

                          The only missing thing is loadstate. After that It's complete for me!! Nice emulator

                            @mechafatnick thanks , ill give that a go later ....

                            i have tried modifying the arcade 'emulators.cfg' to

                            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=80 -no-vsync -no-throttle -no-dsb -res=1024,768 -fullscreen %ROM%"

                            when i launched a game, it had the same small video box in the center of the screen, the actual game picture seemed to be bigger but it was zoomed into the bottom left corner (and my controls stopped working)

                            is there anyway of preventing the output from being displayed like this ?

                            a953fcc6-7646-41bb-8d34-c06791d69c3a-image.png

                            also there is a method of setting resolution on a per game or global level via the Supermodel.ini file (https://www.supermodel3.com/AdvancedUsage.html#ConfigFile)

                            as this file appears in 3 places (config, bin, pi/home/config), i assume the same modified file must be placed in each place ?

                            and even then, how would the values in 'emulators.cfg' affect it ? which set of instructions take precedence ?

                            thanks again !

                            @DTEAM well done !! so I was thinking correctly with this ;) again , Supermodel.ini file appears in 3 places, do I have to update all of them ?

                              If you have done your symlink before:

                              
                              ln -s /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Config Config
                              
                              

                              It’s in
                              /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Config/Supermodel.ini

                                update Supermodel.ini located in /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Config

                                then copy that updated file to /home/pi/Config

                                i assume all controller changes must be saved to that file also?

                                  You can do it like that too. With this method, you need to update both files. If you want use a symbolic link (press F4 or just close Emulation Station and write the proposed above command) with that, you only need to update opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Config/supermodel.ini

                                  Both options work

                                    The only missing puzzle part is to be able to load save states. We can save, but not load. Any idea of what to do?

                                      @dteam there's a hard-wired save state selection key that may need to be rebound. Try using it and then see if it will load (would be an easy update if it solves the issue. Not sure there are any games that really need save states though)

                                      Also do:

                                      ln -s /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/NVRAM NVRAM

                                      That way you'll keep any settings you change on the board (useful for only having to set Daytona/Scud race to single machines the once)

                                        I'm on a handheld build and sometime I'm playing 5 minutes and I stop. It's interesting for me to be able to save games even if It's a short game to play.

                                        Also do:

                                        ln -s /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/NVRAM NVRAM

                                        Already done, I'm following your webpage and I saw that change. I did the same thing for Saves

                                        ln -s /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Saves Saves

                                          no change i am afraid, still displays in a small box in center of screen that is focused on bottom left ...

                                          i have changed all 3 Supermodel.ini files to the following & given rwx permissions to them:

                                          [ Global ] ; Input settings can only be read from the global section!

                                          XResolution=1024
                                          YResolution=768
                                          FullScreen=0
                                          WideScreen=1
                                          Stretch=1
                                          WideBackground=1

                                            Did you get the updated version from @mechafatnick

                                            Normally, It should work.

                                            Try this first:
                                            XResolution=1024
                                            YResolution=768
                                            FullScreen=0
                                            WideScreen=1
                                            Stretch=0
                                            WideBackground=0

                                            Have you deleted -res=496,384 in emulators.cfg ?
