New Hypseus and lr-Daphne to add on Retropie-Setup

[johnodon]

I use the arcade folder for all ROMs I run on my cabinet since I want only one system that start s automatically (no system view). For anyone interested, running Daphne games from the arcadefolder also works with this setup.

Change the symlinks for the roms and singe folders to point to /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade/roms folder.

You can leave the .ini files in the /opt/retropie/configs/daphne folder or move them to /opt/retropie/configs/arcadeand symlink them there. I move them for consistency's sake.

drwxr-xr-x 5 root root    4096 Jul 14 05:16 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root    4096 Jul 13 15:43 ..
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2300368 Jul 13 16:20 daphne.bin
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root     522 Jul 13 16:28 daphne.sh
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      42 Jul 14 05:14 flightkey.ini -> /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/flightkey.ini
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    4096 Jul 13 15:40 fonts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      41 Jul 14 05:14 hypinput.ini -> /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/hypinput.ini

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    4096 Jul 13 15:40 sound

Then, just copy the run line out of the /opt/retropie/configs/daphne/emulators.cfg file into the /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/emulators.cfg file:

lr-fbneo = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbneo/fbneo_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
lr-fbneo-neocd = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-fbneo/fbneo_libretro.so --subsystem neocd --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
lr-mame2003 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003/mame2003_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
lr-mame = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame/mamearcade_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
lr-mame2003-plus = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2003-plus/mame2003_plus_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
lr-flycast = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-flycast/flycast_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
default = "lr-fbneo"
lr-mame2010 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2010/mame2010_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
lr-mame2016 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mame2016/mamearcade2016_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/arcade/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
daphne = "/opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.sh %ROM%"

You also need to add the .daphne and .DAPHNE extensions to the arcade section of the es_systems.cfg file:

  <system>
    <name>arcade</name>
    <fullname>Arcade</fullname>
    <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/arcade</path>
    <extension>.7z .cue .fba .iso .zip .7Z .CUE .FBA .ISO .ZIP .daphne .DAPHNE</extension>
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ arcade %ROM%</command>
    <platform>arcade</platform>
    <theme>arcade</theme>
  </system>

And...edit the /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulators.cfg file to tell RP to use the Daphne bin for associated games:

arcade_dolphin = "lr-flycast"
arcade_fotns = "lr-flycast"
arcade_mslug6 = "lr-flycast"
arcade_mvsc2u = "lr-flycast"
arcade_pstone = "lr-flycast"
arcade_pstone2 = "lr-flycast"
arcade_capsnk = "lr-flycast"
arcade_cvsgd = "lr-flycast"
arcade_cvs2 = "lr-flycast"
arcade_ggxx = "lr-flycast"
arcade_meltyb = "lr-flycast"
arcade_radirgyn = "lr-flycast"
arcade_pigskin = "lr-mame2003-plus"
arcade_gorf = "lr-mame2003-plus"
arcade_missile = "lr-mame2003-plus"
arcade_wg3dh = "lr-mame2003-plus"
arcade_dsmbl = "lr-mame"
arcade_grdforce = "lr-mame2003-plus"
arcade_polepos = "lr-mame2003-plus"
arcade_gtfore06 = "lr-mame2016"
arcade_lair = "daphne"

Hello:

I was advised to maybe post this here as it might be more appropriate.

I recently followed the instructions to get Retropie working on my i686_64 AMD laptop running Linux Mint 20.2 Cinnamon: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Debian/

Everything for the build/install went perfectly.

When I went to install Daphne I found that it was greyed out and had a note about how it was for 64 bit version and not for the 32 bit version.

I thought hmm I am on a i686. What is the deal? I found this page from the year 2019: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/23550/daphne-install-on-ubuntu-18-04-x86_64/11

Is there any way to get that fix integrated into the main script? It would be great to be able to have Daphne installable by default instead of the script saying it can't do it.

I have no idea who to send this request onto as the actual website has no contact info.

Thanks for your time.

Heya, there is no automatic method to install Hypsesus Singe (Daphne Singe) via the configuration script on X86_64 Ubuntu at this point.

Follow this post to perform a manual install process that mirrors the Pie install:

[battlecat]

@dirtbagxon Thanks for the reply.

I already knew there was no automated way to do the install. I also knew that the page I followed provided a very simple update to a single daphne.sh file.

I thought hmm why can't this daphne.sh file be updated with this script from that page? What is the reason that such a simple update couldn't be done?

I am not a programmer in the traditional sense but is there a reason that this is not done?

Thanks,

No reason at all, but someone needs to take it on board and package hypseus-singe up for RetroPie and all the supported platforms.

Unfortunately, until that happens it will be a manual install or upgrade.

BTW: It is not just the daphne.sh that gets upgraded, it's also a binary, 'fonts' folder and config files.

Ah Thank you!! That is a great answer to my question. I appreciate it.

I am not up for it and I did manage to get my version working just fine on my laptop.

I always wondered why the Ubuntu version never supported Daphne and while I am sure there is a valid reason that it doesn't it would be nice if it did. There seems to be a lot of packages in the distro that it does not support.

Thank you again for the clear good answer.

The packager of the older 'daphne' plugin, only supported the ARM platform it appears. They didn't, or couldn't, get the package working for i386 or x64 which is why the older package only works for Raspberry Pi and won't install on Ubuntu - I am guessing.

Hypsesus uses CMake, and so is easier to port cross platform.

I take care of the application, but I haven't built a RetroPie port/package - so am hoping someone who has done this before will take it on-board.....

Glad you got it working via the manual install :)

Support for HD 'Gun Games' in Hypseus Singe with full Sinden support, as upscaled video becomes available:

[DirtBagXon]

Hypseus Singe is now in RetroPie-Setup (exp)

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Daphne/

Just wanted to send a big thanks to all the guys that got this started, and helped out, along this long road:

@Darksavior @pjft @roslof @SaturnX @darknior @312BhP @Gamesman @johnodon @grant2258 @bluestang and @mitu + anyone else who I forgot.

Enjoy, with hopefully far less fiddling with files.

[G30FF]

@dirtbagxon That's great news! Hypseus is so much nicer to work with than the basic Daphne, and I was eager to swap them out!

I had previously used the manual installation method to get Hypseus Singe installed, but I have a question regarding the new version. I installed from binary in the experimental modules section. In the previous build, I could hit Start+Select to quit Hypseus, but now that I've installed from the scriptmodule that no longer works. How do I get that functionality back?

The joystick hotkey combo is still there, It's hold SELECT then hit START (just in case your description above was in fact correct).

The package should not have overwritten your existing hypinput.ini file, but obviously check the joystick button assignment for KEY_COIN1 (select) and KEY_START1.

[G30FF]

@dirtbagxon You are absolutely correct. I pressed both at once, but once I held Select and hit Start, it worked correctly. Thanks for the quick response! I'm looking forward to trying some of the Singe games now!

[pjft]

@dirtbagxon Well done, congratulations on hitting this milestone! It's been awesome to see the effort, dedication and care you put into Hypseus for the last year - thank you for that!

Have an awesome new year, and looking forward to seeing what new things come out of this :)

[roslof]

@DirtBagXon great accomplishment and so nice that many people can take advantage of all the UI improvements you've made to their favorite laserDisc games. Congratulations!

[DirtBagXon]

Thanks guys.

Get your ffmpeg ready.

I have an upcoming release that will enable all these:

[G30FF]

@dirtbagxon I tried testing out a bunch of Singe games on my Pi 4, and most of them worked. Chantze's Stone HD and Dragon's Lair 2 Enhanced both crash when I try to put a coin in, but otherwise things work just fine.

Heya,

Ok, those two specific games require the latest version of Hypseus: v2.6.21 due to some LUA module that was included in the v3.31c Singe 2 game code.

Ok, seems to be an issue with the -retropath remapping for this version of Singe code, in that LUA module, I didn't catch.

I will investigate, hopefully a fix in next release....

Thanks for spotting ;)

 

[DirtBagXon]

@G30FF

If you build from source, via RetroPie-Setup, there is a fix in for this now.

It only affected the 2 latest games (chantze-hd, dl2e ), which run the Singe 2 v3.31c codebase, when run with the -retropath argument.

Let me know, thanks.

 

[G30FF]

@dirtbagxon I rebuilt from source, and now it works fine! Thanks!

Currently the only game I'm having issues with is Freedom Fighter, because it seems like I get shot before any targets appear on screen. I'm not sure if that's how the game is or whether it's a bug.
