      I have got a new NXengine working on the Pi

      wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Exarkuniv/Nxengine-Evo-RPi/Master/nxengine.sh -P $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/
      

      I sent you a PR with some suggestions.

      I haven't installed this yet -- where are saved games and configs saved to?

                  I did get my gamepad working in nxe-evo, eventually; I had to use the keyboard to navigate to "options" and then bind the controls manually. Did you have to do that or was it plug-and-play for you?

                  Also haven't figured out my graphics issue, I've posted an issue on their repo about it.

                      Got it, okay I think we're on the same page. Graphics issue has to do with framebuffer resolution. Am experimenting with game and runcommand settings. Looks great at 1024x768, but runs pretty sluggish. Runs better at 640x480, but the bottom of my image is cut off...

                              @retropi19 that setting is already in the default config and I didn't change it:

                              [pi4]
                              # Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack
                              dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
                              max_framebuffers=2

                                  @ExarKunIv I stumbled across a solution for dhewm3 not exiting properly. Add

                                  +set in_tty 0
                                  

                                  To the end of the line of dhewm3 emulators.cfg

                                  Edit: I also found a few minor mistakes with some of the scripts in your repo. Would you prefer I open issues there or just report them here?

                                      NOTE: a keyboard is required to exit this game. I have made this abundantly clear in the module readme.

                                      ProtoType - an R-Type remake by Ron Bunce, Linux port by ptitSeb.

                                      ProtoType-RPi:

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

                                      As always, download the scriptmodule to your system and then install the port through "experimental packages."

                                        @exarkuniv so i noticed that you have the openra script module named as opencc and openrct2 named openrct. I would recommend that the script module name match the name of the game engine for the sake of uniformity.

                                        Also in the openra script module I see that it makes 3 launchers, one for each game that openra supports. However it looks like tiberium dawn is listed twice (dune 2k is mislabeled as tiberium dawn).

                                            UPDATE
                                            I have updated the Readme on RetroPie-Extra with all the new scripts that have been added.
                                            I also have gone and Installed them all to find the ones that DID install and DIDN'T install and mark them accordingly.

                                            I HAVE not tested playing them all yet, that is next
                                            If anyone whats to let me know what is playing and not playing. Im grateful

                                            Once that is all done im going to mess with seeing if i can get any of the not installing ones to work.

                                            Last im going to rewrite the scripts to make them more inline with how RetroPie is doing things.

                                            But for now Functionality is more important
                                            Have a good one guys
