Suggestions for ports #2

[JimmyFromTheBay]

@sleve_mcdichael I just remembered that after I posted, and I ran it and selected a couple of the new additions, but alarmingly it's totally killed my RetroPie-Setup.

When I try to run RetroPie-Setup now it crashes with this error:

The only way to get it back is to completely delete the RetroPie-Extra folder from the ext directory. (Just renaming it doesn't work.)

  samtfe- Serious Sam Classic The First Encounter. - Installs, and plays great
• -
  samtse- Serious Sam Classic The Second Encounter. - Installs, and plays great

Solved my RetroPie-Setup problem, phew :D

What files do we need to add to make the Serious Sam games work? I have the Gold Edition CDs, but the install from those doesn't include a "Classes" folder, which is what the RP-Extra install crashes asking for.

  lr-samecdi - Philips CDI - same_cdi port for libretro - Installs, Dont have games to test

Been trying this out. Seems to load and run everything so far, although a lot of games run slowly with horrible sound. The solution is to fiddle with the overclocking option on a per-game basis - on Tetris, for example, setting it to 60 results in nice smooth play, but if you set it lower than 80 on Hotel Mario you lose all the spot effects and keep only the music.

Nice. Glad you got it to work. Guess I was using the wrong files. But for me no matter. I was just testing. I have other fish to fry if you know what I mean. Lol

I believe you need the classic edition for both the first encounter and second encounter.

That sorted it, ta :)

[ExarKunIv]

@JimmyFromTheBay i will put that in the help for i. make it easier every one else

[Retro Arcade Fan]

@ExarKunIv Ran this and it says it's up to date. But every time I try to install lr-samecdi, it halts at about 15 minutes in at the section starting with "Compiling src/emu/drawgfx.cpp" and doesn't go any farther.

[ExarKunIv]

@Retro-Arcade-Fan
Maybe @Folly can take a look at this, i have no idea. as i didnt make the script.
i did test it and it installed fine for me.

[JimmyFromTheBay]

@ExarKunIv Worked fine for me too, but IIRC it took a really long time (RPi4).

[Folly]

@Retro-Arcade-Fan

Just like @JimmyFromTheBay it takes some time.
If it fails somehow it will say so.

[Retro Arcade Fan]

@Folly ok, thanks all. I'll let it run for awhile and see what happens.

[ExarKunIv]

[JimmyFromTheBay]

@ExarKunIv Another request/suggestion: any chance of this? Prosystem is getting pretty old these days and won't run a lot of new homebrew stuff.

http://7800.8bitdev.org/index.php/A7800_Emulator#Windows

[ExarKunIv]

@JimmyFromTheBay why do we need this when lr-prosystem supports 7800.

just want to know before i dive into this, thats all

[JimmyFromTheBay]

@ExarKunIv Well, because like I say, it doesn't support a lot of the new 7800 games, eg the amazing new ports of Popeye and Pengo, or stuff with XM sound. It's pretty outdated now.

[ExarKunIv]

@JimmyFromTheBay i would not know. i dont do homebrew. so for me it dont matter,
i can take look into it. thats all i can promise

[ExarKunIv]

ikemen-go was made by @superfromnd
box86, wine and mesa were made by @George
all i did was take the scripts and added them to Exrtas

retroscraper was made and maintained by @kiro

like always let me know if anything doesnt work for anyone, but i have tested them all on my build and they all play.

i did come across a issue with sqrxz3 not going into the main menu, but i did have everything on this list installed, so i think it was a issue with mesa, but not certain on that. but it worked fine with a clean load and with everything but wine and the required things installed

Enjoy

[retropieuser555]

@ExarKunIv very cool! Has duckstation got access to achievements? As I think the standalone on Mac has access to the retroachievements API which is nice

[ExarKunIv]

@retropieuser555 since this is a binary made by someone else. I don't think so.

I don't have time to test every thing with these. I made make sure the game starts and I play them for like 5 to 10 min. So I don't get far in any of them

All I can say is try it and see. If it doesn't, it will have to wait till I get a way to install the right QT version it needs to be compiled

[ExarKunIv]

Ladys and Gentment I have another update you for all.

• -
  sorrv2.sh - Streets of Rage Remake port with latest engine- Installs, Plays great

For DOSbox-X I didnt know how to get it to install and run as a system, which is why its in ports. If someone wants to give it a shot. I will gladly update the repo with the improved script.

I hope you all can enjoy these, I'm happy that i was able to get these working,

A note for diablo2 and starcraft they use a arm version of wine and it does not play well with the x86 version. so if you have box86 and wine86 installed you might have issues, just a warning

With that being said.

It seems the the enthusiasm as waned for new ports, but any new ones I have made or found have be greatly appreciated which is why I have pushed myself to get these done

I'm taking a step back on focusing on making new scripts for RetroPie-Extras.
I'm NOT STOPPING from maintaining the repo. I'm just taking a break from only doing scripts.
I'm be making them, but its going to be few and far between.
I still have a list of games i want to bring to ports. so there will be more
Just so people dont think I'm not maintaining anything since I'm not going to be dropping big updates like i have in the past

Im always willing and looking for new scripts to add to the collection, so please let me know what you make or find.
