Diablo 1 ported to PI

ExarKunIv

@mumbojumbo i will update on my end. thanks

Addison

Is 1.4.0 the most updated source to be used?

It's the only release that's showing linux-armhf.7z to be available.

Trying to use the following guide for setup:
https://github.com/diasurgical/devilutionX/wiki/Retropie-Guide

ExarKunIv

@Addison yes that's the last version that they released with linux-armhf.7z

i updated the script to that version

Addison

Thanks!

Was hoping to get this to run today. :)

ExarKunIv

@Addison at some point ill look to see if i can compile a newer version

Addison

Ended up with a black screen for a few seconds then a return to Emulation Station.

That was all that showed in the log file.

Have I somehow misplaced where the required files need to be?

alt text

Also, no diablo.ini was generated in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/diablo/gamedata

ExarKunIv

@Addison the ini file won't be generated yet

As far as the rest of it I don't know. I'll have to try it tomorrow and see what I get

If you always want you can edit the script file and change 1.4 to 1.3 and it still should work like before.

It's possible I tried that version and it didn't work.
I don't remember.n

Addison

Thank you.

1.3.0 is working. :D

ExarKunIv

@Addison awesome.

I will take a look as see what's up with 1.4

ExarKunIv

@Addison so version 1.4 and up need libfmt 7 or higher
Buster only has version 5.2.1.
so that's why it doesn't work

im looking into what can be done, if anything

Addison

@ExarKunIv

Think you might be able to get all the way up to 1.5.1?

ExarKunIv

@Addison I hoping so.

Right now I get half way in compiling and it errors out.
The problem is that we need gcc 10.1 or higher since there is something included in that. That we need to compile.

But buster only have 8.3.
I'm looking onto how to bring it up. But it might or might not break something else within Retropie when someone tries to build something else

But one thing at a time, right

ExarKunIv

@Addison DevilutionX is now running at 1.5.1.

you will need to update the script and reinstall.
it does take a few min since you will not be compiling it from source

Addison

I chose Update RetroPie-Setup script.

Then did a full Update.

Then Manage packages

Manage experimental packages

devilutionx

Install from source

Somehow I think I did that all wrong. lol

This doesn't touch the RetroPie-Extra scripts which exist outside of RetroPie-proper.

You need to:

cd

cd RetroPie-Extra

./update-extras.sh

./install-extras.sh

Select choose which modules to install.

All of the currently-installed RetroPie-Extra modules will be pre-selected. Just choose OK to reinstall the latest scripts for the selected modules.

This only "installs" them into the RetroPie-Setup script. You still need to go into the setup script and actually install the game to your system (the part what you did before with manage packages.)

Addison

Thanks!

Addison

Seems like I'm missing a file. :/

pi@retropie:~ $ cd RetroPie-Extra
pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Extra $ ./update-extras.sh
-bash: ./update-extras.sh: No such file or directory
pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Extra $ dir
install-extras.sh  LICENSE  README.md  scriptmodules  TODO.md

I think you still have the old Extra repo. You tried to fix this once before, and wound up here by updating from the wrong directory. You changed the origin URL for the Setup repo when you meant to do it for the Extra repo.

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/34617/update-failed-solved

Try:

cd ~/RetroPie-Extra
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra
git fetch --all
git reset --hard master

Make sure you run the git commands from in RetroPie-Extra, not RetroPie-Setup.

Alternatively, just wipe out the Extra directory and re-clone it from the correct URL:

cd
rm -rf RetroPie-Extra
git clone https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

...or, backup the directory instead of wiping it:

cd
mv RetroPie-Extra RetroPie-Extra.old
git clone https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

@sleve_mcdichael

I feel like I'm so close to getting this correct.

I did the ./install-extras.sh

It takes me to the menu prompts and I find my way to devilutionx but greeted with that last screenshot.

I really thought I got your instructions right.

I can't think of the error I made.

Even did a reboot.

Press Space to "select" one or more scripts before you press Enter to copy all of the selections.
