      Hi fellow Ports-fans. I just found a new potential game for the Retropie: Arx Fatalis (also available on GOG).

      The source code was made public and there is the project Arx Libertatis on Github. I tried to compile it (which worked). But when I run it, it crashes. I think it's sound related, but I'm not sure...

      Maybe some else wants to take a shot. ;)

        just wanted to let you all know, im back on working on my scripts.

        i have updated the main repo with a few scripts from @sleve_mcdichael.

        and i have started taking a better look at the other scripts and cleaning them up a little more and doing a better test to see what works and what doesn't.

        i might even try to mess around with making a few new ones too.

          I have added
          chopper258.sh
          and
          prototype.sh to Extras, thanks to @sleve_mcdichael for taking a shot at them.
          they both need keyboards but otherwise play fine.

          i moved
          amphetamine.sh due to it not going fullscreen and it being a small window in the upper left corner

          i have installed and played around with
          abuse.sh - Classic action game
          augustus.sh - Augustus - Enhanced Caesar III source port
          audacity.sh Audacity open-source digital audio editor
          bstone.sh - Blake Stone - BStone A source port of Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold and Blake Stone: Planet Strike

          they all work well and are full screen,

          for Augustus i fixed the missing assets
          bstone i believe i have got it so it starts with full screen out of box

          I will be posting updates as i get through a handfull

            I forgot with my last post i also added a new BGM script made by @sleve_mcdichael
            Please give bgm123.sh a try and let him know how it works and if any improvements are needed or ideas
            it is in the supplementary part of the Retropie setup

            i have done more clean up and testing on my end

            barrage.sh Shooting Gallery action game
            bermudasyndrome.shBermuda Syndrome engine
            bloboats.sh Fun physics game
            breaker.sh Arkanoid clone
            burgerspace.sh BurgerTime clone
            chocolate-doom.sh- DOOM source port
            chocolate-doom-system.sh- For setting up DOOM as an emulated system, not port
            chromium.sh - Open Source Web Browser
            crispy-doom.sh DOOM source port
            crispy-doom-system.sh For setting up DOOM as an emulated system, not port

            for these
            bermudasyndrome.sh works but i cant figure out how to exit the game
            breaker.sh need to drop the resolutions down to the lowest to get full screen
            burgerspace.shneed to drop the resolutions down to the lowest to get full screen

            both crispy-doom-system and chocolate-doom-system makes its own system folder for the WADS to go into

            as always let me know what needs work on my github

            UPDATE
            corsixth.sh - Theme Hospital engine clone -
            crack-attack.sh - Tetris Attack clone -

            corsixth now installs the demo and correct data path
            crack-attack.shneed to drop the resolutions down to the lowest to get full screen kinda. you'll see if you try it

              This might be about ready for a bump, I'll put in the PR soon.

                    Hey guys, would you help me. please? I can't go fullscreen in Rise of the Triad: Dark War, I am using the "rott-darkwar.sh" port/script from https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra, and I don't know what to do, I only can view the game in a diminute window.

                      @NIGHTKILLER05 you have to hit "a" when the run command pops up and drop the resolution to a lower one to make the screen bigger

                        @ExarKunIv Thanks for the help man, but unfortunately changing the resolution didn't do anything noticeable, I tried 800x600 and 640x480, with no avail, and I realy like this game, It reminds me my childhood, help, please.

                          @NIGHTKILLER05 unless someone else can give input on this it will have to wait till the the start of the week for me to take a look at it on my end.

                          I had to switch to using XINIT for rott due to it not starting correctly, and lowering the resolution to the lowest has worked on my screen which is just a 25in monitor

                          I'll have to mess around with it more Monday unless someone beats me

                          BTW when did you install RetroPie extra's

                            Probably best to include it, then ;)

                              @ExarKunIv of course man, I'll wait for the help, no worries, and I installed your excellent script like 6-8 months ago, do I need to update it? how can I do that?

                                Then
                                "./update-extras.sh"

                                But the scripts are missing the correct depends, so that don't help.

                                I'll get them updated as soon as I can. Sorry about this.

                                I do have the ones I have been working on with the correct things. I just never pushed them before end of day of Friday.

                                  @ExarKunIv Thank you for that man, by the way, would you check the rtcw (Return to Castle Wolfenstein) script too, please? I don't see it in the extras list, don't know why, and it is an excellent game.

                                    Remember, though we didn't add the "update" script until April this year, so if the installation is any older than that, use this instead (the first time; after that you should have the update script, which just does this pull and ./install automatically):

                                    cd ~/RetroPie-Extra
                                    git pull origin

                                      That script was added on Feb 10 so if you update you should have it.

                                      But, I don't really understand what it's doing. Why are the install files moved into the roms dir?

                                        @sleve_mcdichael Hi man, thanks for the tip, unfortunately that didn't work for some reason, it didn't "pull" any file to, for example, /scriptmodules/ports.

                                        After the "./install-extras.sh" execution, I listed the contents of "/home/pi/RetroPie-Extra" and there is no "update-extras.sh" file inside that folder, I also list the contents of the "/home/pi/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules/ports" folder and the file "rtcw.sh" is not there.

                                        355d7fcd-7415-4aeb-b75c-1bcec16a4329-image.png

                                        Do you have any ideas? Its very strange

                                          @NIGHTKILLER05 are you still on ZeroJay's repo? Can you enter the RP-Extra dir and do a git remote -v?

                                            @sleve_mcdichael You were right man:

                                            pi@arcade:~/RetroPie-Extra $ git remote -v
                                            origin https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git (fetch)
                                            origin https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git (push)

                                            What can I do to use only the newest repository? thanks for all your help.
