      The gitlab project is no longer available. Does anyone now the new location?

      https://github.com/drfiemost/Hurrican uses SDL2 by default and should work on RPi4 ...

        Hi, when I get to the cmake step
        cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

        I get an error that it is missing the cmake text file.

        I'm on pi4, any ideas?
        many thanks!

            @jengun Unfortunately that doesn't work, probably a library missing?

              @luckyluca it looks like you didn't install the necessary libepoxy-dev dependency. You can do that with:

              sudo apt -y install libepoxy-dev
              

              Or, I've been working on a scriptmodule using that repo, I think it's in pretty good shape if you want to give it a try:

              https://github.com/s1eve-mcdichae1/Hurrican-RPi

              You can download it to your Pi 4 with (edit: had the wrong url, should be fixed now):

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

              After that you can install the port through RetroPie-Setup > Manage packages > Manage experimental packages

                @sleve_mcdichael So, have I understood correctly, because I got hopelessly lost halfway down this thread:

                If I type in that WGET instruction, then install Hurrican from the Experimental menu, that's all I need to get the game running?

                  @JimmyFromTheBay that should still work.

                  However, and while there are no significant changes at this time*, that's an older version of the script that will no longer be updated. It has now been integrated into RetroPie-Extra where you can always track the latest updates:

                  https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

                  (https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra/tree/master/scriptmodules/ports/hurrican.sh)

                  To get started using RetroPie-Extra, first clone the repository and then run install-extras.sh:

                  cd ~
                  git clone https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra
                  cd RetroPie-Extra
                  ./install-extras.sh
                  

                  The newly-improved install script uses a GUI menu that allows you to select which of the Extra scriptmodules you would like to include. hurrican.sh can be found in the ports section.

                  *(also it looks like the game itself has had some recent updates, so probably I should take another look at the script soon, also.)

                    @sleve_mcdichael Thanks. But how do I get rid of the old ZeroJay version of RetroPie-Extra? I can't install the new one over the top and neither the Remove or Update instructions here work.

                    https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

                    EDIT: got rid of the old folder and Extra seemed to install okay, but when I tried to install any scripts via the GUI this happened:

                    extra.jpg

                    I looked in /home/pi/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules and all the relevant files DO seem to be there.

                      @sleve_mcdichael i just tested it yesterday and your script worked fine on my system.

                      I'm not by my pi right now to compare what is on my system to GitHub.

                      But if we can't figure it out before then I can look Monday

                            Right, installing RetroPie-Extra worked this time, and I added all the scripts I wanted from the GUI. Unfortunately it skipped a lot of them because they were already in RetroPie-Setup from previous failed attempts and there was no option to overwrite.

                            extr.jpg

                            So I manually copied hurrican.sh from /home/pi/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules/ports to /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports over the top of the old version and installed it. It seemed to work okay, but when I booted it up, just music and a black screen again.

                            (OpenBOR didn't work either - it reported a 404 relating to something about "curl", and when you try to run a game it says "https://github.com/crcerror/OpenBOR Raspberry.git ^{} failed with return code 1 - please check your network connection".)

                                @JimmyFromTheBay that one should of worked. I tested that script and it installed and worked fine for me.

                                If you are saying about the error that pops up when you finish installing it. That is just a error that comes up when there is no way for it to check for a update

                                  @ExarKunIv So what could be going wrong? For Hurrican, do I still need to install that libepoxy thing first?

                                  Also, which error do you mean with OpenBOR? The "curl" one or the "crcerror" one?

                                      @JimmyFromTheBay looks like you've already sorted some of this but I'll answer for the record here anyway:

                                      how do I get rid of the old ZeroJay version of RetroPie-Extra? I can't install the new one over the top and neither the Remove or Update instructions here work.

                                      To switch from ZeroJay's repo to Exarkuniv's:

                                      # discard the most recent commit by checking out the commit one prior
                                      # necessary because this commit is not in the new repo, will cause merge conflict
                                      git reset --hard HEAD^
                                      
                                      # switch to ExarKuniv's new repo
                                      git remote set-url origin https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra
                                      
                                      # now pull from the updated origin
                                      git pull origin
                                      

                                      @JimmyFromTheBay said in Turrican (hurricane clone) black screen:

                                      @sleve_mcdichael So if I uninstall it and reinstall it now, it'll work?

                                      This was just a bug in the install script, it should be fixed now and you can update your local version with git pull origin (or ./update-extras.sh).

                                      Unfortunately it skipped a lot of them because they were already in RetroPie-Setup from previous failed attempts and there was no option to overwrite.

                                      Earlier versions of RP-Extra, as well as some of our stand-alone scripts before they were integrated, used to be copied directly to the RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules directory alongside the "official" RetroPie modules.

                                      More recently, they have utilized RP's built-in method for including "external" modules by placing them in RetroPie-Setup/ext/[repo_name]/scriptmodules instead.

                                      However, if you still have the old versions in the "official" scriptmodules directory, then the new "external" ones of the same name can't be used again. You can "clean the working tree of untracked files" with git clean. Navigate to your RetroPie-Setup directory:

                                      cd ~/RetroPie-Setup
                                      

                                      Use the -n (dry run) flag to see what will be removed, then use -f (force) to actually remove them:

                                      git clean -n scriptmodules
                                      git clean -f scriptmodules
                                      

                                      So I manually copied hurrican.sh from /home/pi/RetroPie-Extra/ (...) It seemed to work okay, but when I booted it up, just music and a black screen again.

                                      (...) So what could be going wrong? For Hurrican, do I still need to install that libepoxy thing first?

                                      That is puzzling. The libepoxy-dev thing was in response to someone who was doing a manual installation; it should be done automatically by the script, now.

                                      I wonder if there's a missing dependency that slipped through 'cause we already had it from a different module or something.

                                      I don't know exactly what I'd be looking for but there might be some clue in the game and/or install logs.

                                      Game log:

                                      /opt/retropie/configs/ports/hurrican/Game_Log.txt
                                      

                                      Install logs are in:

                                      ~/RetroPie-Setup/logs
                                      

                                      They are compressed in .gz format; you can view them locally with zless or extract them for sharing with gunzip.

                                      Only the 20 most recent are retained. If you can't find the one where hurrican was installed, just install it again and take the last one.

                                      it reported a 404 relating to something about "curl", and when you try to run a game it says "https://github.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-Raspberry.git ^{} failed with return code 1 - please check your network connection".)

                                      Also, which error do you mean with OpenBOR? The "curl" one or the "crcerror" one?

                                      crcerror is the GitHub account name of the user who hosts the OpenBOR repo:

                                      https://github.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-Raspberry

                                      The curl error is something I see in some, but not all, of these extra scripts. It has to do with the way Setup checks if updates are available, I guess. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren't, and sometimes it is unable to determine and says so...

                                      ...and then sometimes, in our extra scripts, it will do weird sh-- like say "update is available" when it is not, immediately after installing the latest version, or having "install options disabled" requiring a remove/reinstall any time an update is to be performed.

                                      I'm really not sure what this is about. I suppose it is probably something going on in function rp_hasNewerModule() but I haven't dug deep into how that works, yet.

                                        @sleve_mcdichael said in Turrican (hurricane clone) black screen:

                                        Earlier versions of RP-Extra, as well as some of our stand-alone scripts before they were integrated, used to be copied directly to the RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules directory alongside the "official" RetroPie modules.

                                        More recently, they have utilized RP's built-in method for including "external" modules by placing them in RetroPie-Setup/ext/[repo_name]/scriptmodules instead.

                                        However, if you still have the old versions in the "official" scriptmodules directory, then the new "external" ones of the same name can't be used again. You can "clean the working tree of untracked files" with git clean. Navigate to your RetroPie-Setup directory:

                                        cd ~/RetroPie-Setup
                                        

                                        Use the -n (dry run) flag to see what will be removed, then use -f (force) to actually remove them:

                                        git clean -n scriptmodules
                                        git clean -f scriptmodules
                                        

                                        Aha! THIS was it! I uninstalled everything, ran git clean, reinstalled and now the scripts are in separate RetroPie-Extra sections in RetroPie-Setup and Hurrican works! Yay! Many thanks!

                                        Still having no luck with OpenBOR, though. It installs (curl error again) but then fails to run, complaining "no config for openbor". Any idea what it's looking for?

                                        All I have in /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/openbor

                                        is EMULATORS.CFG, comprising this single line:

                                        openbor-v6510 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/openbor-v6510/OpenBOR %ROM%"
                                        

                                        I have a few ROMs in PAK format in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/openbor, which AFAIK is the correct format for OpenBOR as a system rather than as a port, and it's in ES_SYSTEMS.CFG with these lines:

                                          <system>
                                            <name>openbor</name>
                                            <fullname>OpenBOR</fullname>
                                            <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/openbor</path>
                                            <extension>.pak .PAK .sh .SH</extension>
                                            <command>"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "openbor" "%ROM%"</command>
                                            <platform>openbor</platform>
                                            <theme>openbor</theme>
                                          </system>
                                        
                                        

                                        Raspberry Pi 3b and 8GB Raspberry Pi 4, both running Retropie 4.7.1 installed from scratch using Raspberry Pi Imager, with wired keyboard, wireless mouse and double arcade joystick attached.

                                          @JimmyFromTheBay cheers on Hurrican! I can't help with openBOR, I've never looked into that one yet.

                                            @sleve_mcdichael I have messed with openBOR a bit. But I'm not by my system at the moment. So I can't help till tomorrow.

                                            I can take a better look at it. I thought I got it working right as a separate system so you don't have to go in to the ports to start it.

                                            So I'll do a clean load and install that from my repo and see what happens
