Suggestions for ports #2

@JimmyFromTheBay said in Suggestions for ports #2:

Bah. There's a thread elsewhere on the forum about installing it directly which includes a pic of someone running it in fullscreen, will try that method instead.

that is a very old post, things and software has changed so things that worked 5 years ago in full screen, most likely will not anymore, which is why we need to use XINIT

but give it a try, if you can get it to work in fullscreen i can update the script to do so

EDIT
but since @zerojay already was on that post, and he is the one who wrote the script to start with. most likely its not going to work

[ExarKunIv]

Ladys and Gentalmen it is time for a Big Update

First @sleve_mcdichael has updated our new GUI interface for installing RP-E. Now we can pick what section we want to install instead of installing everything, Or if there is only a few things you want to install you can pick just the ones you want.

Please give it a try and let us know what you all think. Soon moving forward that will be the only way to install the scripts.

I will be removing the Old way in the near future.

Now for the good stuff.

I have gone and installed and tested every script. I have removed all that dont work/build, or ones that only play in a small window. they are now in RetroPie-Extra-unstable

Here is the current list of the working scripts that I have gone through. I only tested this on a 27" monitor so if there are any screen size issues on bigger screens I can only do so much

NOTES
ECWOLF installs, but something is wrong with the patch file that fixes the missing esc key. Im working on that
OPENDUNE the config file it not installing correctly, also working on that

To get full screen on most of these if you dont know you need to drop the resolutions in the RUNCOMMAND screen to whatever size looks good for you.

Soon moving forward that will be the only way to install the scripts.

I will be removing the Old way in the near future.

Just a note that the new install script does incorporate -a and -r flags for users who still require a non-interactive terminal command to add or remove all RP-Extra scripts without using the GUI.

Usage:

    ./install-extras.sh [-u|--update] [option] [rp_setup_directory]

Options:
    -a  --all       Add all RetroPie-Extra modules (may severely impact the
                    loading time of RetroPie-Setup and retropiemenu configuration
                    items, especially on slower hardware)
    -r  --remove    Remove all RetroPie-Extra modules (does not "uninstall" the modules
                    in RP-Setup)
    -h  --help      Display this help and exit

I wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong with this one. It acts exactly like Texmaster does in terms of only playing in a tiny window, and nothing I try fixes it.

I did notice that the error message it displayed while installing/uninstalling referenced ZeroJay rather than Exarkuniv, no idea if that's significant.

I found the install directory and the config file, and changed it to fullscreen rather than a window, but it made no discernible difference. There were permissions warnings when I edited the file, but it still seemed to save the changes.

[ExarKunIv]

@JimmyFromTheBay post what your ''emulation.cfg'' has in it.

As this point I'm going with some how you are installing a old script.

Or better yet. Post the whole install script, that way we can see what one you are using.
I'm going with you are changing the resolution through the runcommand, correct?

[JimmyFromTheBay]

@ExarKunIv

Ha, I just reinstalled it for the 6th time and now it's in fullscreen :D

But I still have almost no sound, even after changing the settings from MIDI to MP3, and no background images. Am I meant to download MP3s and images separately from somewhere?

It's a nightmare trying to find any documentation for this stuff, but it LOOKS as though they're meant to go in /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/ports/heboris/config/res, except I don't have the permissions to create that folder.

Also, btw, there's a really weird issue with Blake Stone - the sequel, Planet Strike runs perfectly, but the original Aliens Of Gold just dumps back to EmulationStation.

[ExarKunIv]

@JimmyFromTheBay well I'm glad you got full screen. As for the sound. I don't know if something is missing like a driver or it just will not work. I know the mp3s are in the folders. Same for the backgrounds.

You have to remember most of the ports on RP-E are no longer being worked on so they might be incomplete.

Since I personally did not make the script for this I never looked in to how complete the game outside of what zerojay wrote

As for Blake stone. You need the full game for it to work.
Only the demo is preinstalled.

Unless you have it. Then something is going on and I have to look at it

This PR should fix the permissions and make a link to the configs dir for easy access to res and its contents:

Yes, I have the full game for both.

[EDIT: scratch this - there was some sort of conflict created by copying over too many files from the full version or not deleting the shareware ones or something. Long story short, it works now. It's a bit academic as neither game supports gamepad input so they're not much fun, but I do like solving problems :D]

[JimmyFromTheBay]

@sleve_mcdichael said in Suggestions for ports #2:

I know the mp3s are in the folders. Same for the backgrounds.

There are definitely no MP3s or background images installed with the game. But I navigated about a thousand broken links and finally found some somewhere. (MP3s called bgm01.mp3, bgm01.mp3 etc and PNGs called BACK01.png, BACK02.png etc.)

This PR should fix the permissions and make a link to the configs dir for easy access to res and its contents:

https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra/pull/96

Okay, I updated and reinstalled and I now have a res folder and all the requisite subfolders in /opt/retropie/ports/heboris, but they're empty and I still have no permission to copy anything into them.

(There are shortcut links to accessible config and replay folders, but not one for res.)

However, following the logic of what appeared to be happening, I created a res folder and subfolders in /opt/retropie/configs.hdmi/ports/heboris alongside the config and replay folders in there, and added the MP3s to the res/bgm subfolder and the PNGs to the res/bg subfolder. I changed the game's settings to MP3, but still no sign of either music or backdrops.

Despite not having the slightest clue what I'm doing in terms of scripts, I then tried editing the relevant part of /home/pi/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules/ports/heboris.sh to add a line about res, thus:

function configure_heboris() {
    local script="$md_inst/$md_id.sh"
    chown pi:pi "$md_inst/heboris"
    moveConfigDir "$md_inst/config" "$md_conf_root/$md_id/config"
    moveConfigDir "$md_inst/replay" "$md_conf_root/$md_id/replay"
    moveConfigDir "$md_inst/res" "$md_conf_root/$md_id/res"

but that had no apparent effect. There was still no shortcut to res in /opt/retropie/ports/heboris.

Then I worked out that was the wrong script file, and did the same edit to /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/ext/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules/ports/heboris.sh, deleted and reinstalled again. Now I do have the shortcut, but the music and backgrounds still don't appear in the game. I'm stumped :(

@philcomm thanks for linking my post.

ill take all the help to get more people to find this. :)

Sure i would love to make something with you
I was thinking something along the same line. this post was kinda a start for it.

there is so much good stuff out there and alot of it get lost in the forum

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.

Happy to assist with this, I too have a pretty extensive document for my own use, written in simple terms so that even clueless dumdums like me can follow it.

@sleve_mcdichael applied the update

[ExarKunIv]

@JimmyFromTheBay said in Suggestions for ports #2:

Not that it matters now, since i just merged the update from @sleve_mcdichael, but yes both the MP3s and PNGs are in the folders they need to be, or in the folders that the scripts put them in since on my system they are sitting where they should be from what the old script put them

those are all the files that are included when the game installs

not sure why yours didn't have them, since we both used the same script..

with that being said. try the new script and let @sleve_mcdichael know how it works

[JimmyFromTheBay]

So I uninstalled Heboris (which was playing perfectly, just silently) completely, deleted both of the heboris.sh scripts, quit to the commandline, typed cd RetroPie-Extra and ran ./update-extras.sh, restored Heboris to the selected installs list, rebooted EmulationStation, installed Heboris again from RetroPie-Setup and rebooted again.

GOOD NEWS: all the MP3 and PNG files are now present and correct in the right folders.

BAD NEWS: the game no longer runs at all, freezing on a black screen necessitating a power-off.

That's what I get for pushing changes without testing first.

• I forgot a $

• I tried to use moveConfigDir on a file, not a directory

• I neglected that moveConfigDir and moveConfigFile do not work like a regular mv; they do need the actual filename in the destination and not just the dir to move them to, i.e. mv bar foo/bar, and not just mv bar foo.

This should fix it up. I have tested this and it is working on my end, including custom music by replacing the files in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/heboris/res/bgm with my own tracks, renamed following the convention (see bgm.txt in that folder for details -- you do have to change music to MP3 in the in-game "settings"):

https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra/pull/97

@JimmyFromTheBay (edit: fix is published, just update your extras.)

if you get here before EK pushes the fix, you can download this file from my fork and replace the one in your RetroPie-Setup directory as you've done before at the end of this post.

Despite not having the slightest clue what I'm doing in terms of scripts, I then tried

Best way to learn, in my opinion. You can almost always undo whatever you've done and if not, you've got backups right?

I completely agree. That and asking alot of questions.

Edit
Applied the merge now

[JimmyFromTheBay]

Well, the game runs again, but despite all the folders being there with MP3s and PNGs in them, still no sound or backdrops :(

There seemed to be far too many files, though, so I uninstalled again, deleted the whole RES folder manually, and reinstalled once more. This time there were fewer files, and I suddenly DO have music, but no ingame sound effects and still no backdrops.

However, this doesn't look like an installation issue. I found the sound test menu and the only sound effects that seem to be present are #4, #15-19, and #34. The only music tracks present are #1-#5 (faster versions of the same song) and #11 (same as #1). So I guess the issue now is just finding the proper music.

No idea why the backdrops aren't working, though.

[sleve_mcdichael]

@JimmyFromTheBay said in Suggestions for ports #2:

Yeah me neither. I look in the graphics test in the game and it shows like 88 pages but none of them are the images from the bg folder. That folder also doesn't have a .txt file explaining its usage like the other folders do. The README says you can alter backgrounds here but maybe it was planned but never implemented. In the gameplay it looks like it's just a black background? I didn't play very long...

The music does support more tracks (it says) but yeah, it only comes with bgm01-06 and title.mp3.

Sound effects appear to support more than are included, as well.
