@Fenderus wine has nothing to do with that port.

It probably just won't work on a pi3. Sorry I never tested it on a pi3.

@shavecat Tried Installing Box 86 and Wine 86, but failed due to my mk arcade joystick failing to load after some kind of installation of Wine, I posted the issue: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35483/wine-broke-mk-arcade-joystick-rpi-package-for-retropie-rpi3b

@Fenderus
think @ExarKunIv is right.

ExarKunIv

@Fenderus Now it is possible to maybe have it working. since it does install fine, and also start.

so at that point it is something with the software itself and something that the dev of it might be able to fix.

if you want you can post the issue here and see what he says.

unfortunately it will be while before i can setup my pi3 for testing (its my current Retorpie build)

@ExarKunIv I installed a similar build known as Falltergeist: https://github.com/falltergeist/falltergeist suggested here: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?p=2222634#p2222634

Like your suggestion, the program crashed and exited after the Please Wait screen, but I have found a clue as to what's going on because I opened it using the terminal.
Assuming this is the build that the Retropie-Extra uses, the error is:

* failed to add service - already in use?

@ExarKunIv Also I just found out that switching to vc4-fkms-v3d makes fallout 2 work, but cant open Retropie, and it directs itself to the console. See here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35493/i-need-vc4-fkms-v3d-to-run-fallout-2-but-at-the-cost-of-emulation-station-not-running

@Fenderus I can't remember the exact process but if I remember rightly you can rebuild emulationstation with vc4-fkms-v3d driver support. Although I think I did that with a pi zero 2w so not sure bout the pi 3b

@ExarKunIv Tried the linux 32 bit version, And ran ./fallout2-ce, but said permission denied,

Maybe I can make a port sh script that can add the line:

dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d

to the /boot/config.txt file and then reboot the system then add some commands to the etc/rc.local to go to the Fallout 2 Directory and launch Fallout 2. Is there a way for that?

Fenderus

@retropieuser555 Did as what you said and it worked! After a few big tweaks. First I added the vc4-fkms-v3d line to the config file, then after reboot, I updated emulation station and retroarch using the Retropie Setup Script, and they booted up normally, with some lagging issues, but nothing to worry about. After that, I booted @abj solution, and it worked! I just now have to translate the joystick controls since it is a port after all. Thanks.

Fenderus

But now, it cannot save. I'm running it on the lxde desktop because I couldn't run any program that can turn a controller's joystick into a mouse in a port game
