Suggestions for ports #2

Philcomm

@exarkuniv I was thinking for a long time to make an Ultimate guide to RetroPie, which includes stuff like additional packages, setup/configuration to make RetroPie as clean of a setup as for example a playstation, background music, and so on.

I have something like this for me privately, but not public. Would you be interested in creating such a document together?

Nice to hear. So I was thinking about hosting a markdown document somewhere. That way we don't have to worry too much about formatting.
I think very important here is the structure. It is very easy to just put stuff in the document, but another thing to make it easily navigatable and understandable.

I can't agree more

@exarkuniv Lets get in touch sometime. https://twitter.com/dev_philcomm is I think the easiest way (if you have a twitter account)

Hurrican-RPi

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/s1eve-mcdichae1/Hurrican-RPi/main/hurrican.sh -P $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/

Hurrican - Turrican clone

A freeware jump and shoot game made by Poke53280 (Eiswuxe) and based on the Turrican series of run and gun platformers.

I've seen a few versions of install scripts for this but I'm not sure if they work anymore, I think I read that the SVN repo from ZeroJay's RetroPie-Extra scripts was a dead link.

This one uses drfiemost's SDL2 fork on GitHub and runs on Pi 4, with the following caveats:

Issues:

No "pause" or "menu" button on the gamepad. Once you begin a game, you cannot exit without a keyboard to press [Esc].
With gamepad control enabled, game text reads, for example "press Joypad leftJoypad rightJoypad upJoypad down to crouch" instead of just "press Joypad down to crouch." Issue not present with keyboard control.
Tutorial level crashes with a segfault, in the same place every time (just after the destructible wall where it shows you the smartbomb.) If you skip the tutorial then the main game seems to work okay but I haven't got very far in at all so something may still happen once you get farther in than the first half of the first level.

@sleve_mcdichael sweet.
that was one that i was going to take a look at. since i do want to use ZeroJay's install script since i have made just a few my self ;)

Hurrican-RPi - scriptmodule update.

Edit 2021-12-12: branch joystick_pause has been promoted to master. Start (and other) buttons now autodetected with SDL_GameController API, no more "determining button values" or manually editing source files. Just install through the scriptmodule and you should be all set! Please update your script:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/s1eve-mcdichae1/Hurrican-RPi/main/hurrican.sh -P /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/

Updates to the repo with bug fixes and ~~preliminary~~ gamepad menu support.

Improvements:

Gamepad menu support: pause and exit the game without a keyboard.

Fixed:

Gamepad pause/menu button is hardcoded. Edit file Hurrican/src/DX8Joystick.cpp line 172, or use keyboard ESC key.
Incorrect display of gamepad button names in tutorial level.
Game crashes in tutorial level (memory buffer boundary error caused by above).
--pathsave param nonfunctional.

ExarKunIv

@sleve_mcdichael nicely done.
great work on getting the key mapping figured out

@exarkuniv Thanks allot! got it all to work now

Hi @ExarKunIv,
I tried some more of the srips on your Repo, and wanted to give some more feedback. There is not much to say, because so far everything worked flawlessly. I tried Shadowwarrior (excellent and almost fluent in 1080p) xash32 (works well with the posted config changes in 720p) . It's so good to see HL and it's expansions Blue Shift and Opposiong Force in their old glory on the big screen! Thanks a lot!

In fact I will change over all my other source ports to your scrips, as keeping them up to date is a lot easier that way. Next I'll probably try OpenJK JA and JO. Do you know the state JO is in? I have heard a lot of times that it's not very finished.

I will soon try out Hexen2. You have a GL and an RPI version, right? Does it make any difference? THe scripts are almost identical from what I gathered?

Dou you think buliding a script for re3 (Grand Theft Auto 3) is possible? It looks quite complicated though...

Also there is Exult, which was - IIRC - quite easy to install and would make a great addition...

yes for the most part they are the same. just in mine im using the GL binary that is made. and the RPI version is not GL. to me they look the same but i only played a few minutes of it to make sure it works.

Dou you think buliding a script for re3 (Grand Theft Auto 3) is possible? It looks quite complicated though...

i would give it a try, but it is taken down off of github. so i will have to hunt it down. i think that Pikiss might have the binary. just not sure if it is going against rules since it has a DCMA take-down notice against it now

Also there is Exult, which was - IIRC - quite easy to install and would make a great addition
Im more then willing to take a look at it.

i am working on a few more new ports so ill add it to the list

I've encountered an issue with Hexen II. I'm unable to get the CD-music playing, even after following these steps: http://uhexen2.sourceforge.net/music.html

I've placed the corresponding OGG's in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/hexen2/data1/music/ but they're not being picked-up.

Any help is much appreciated!

PS. When I type "music casb3" in the console, the track actually plays, so it's in the right place. Could this be a compiler error?

is very well can be, not sure what might be causeing it. ill see if any of the devs on the site might be able to point out the problem

@exarkuniv I'm very curious what's causing this. Normally I'm able to resolve most issues myself, but this time it's beyond me why it isn't working. TIA!
