Running Xbox original games on Retropie (PC only)

[Unknown]

@rogg23 Thanks. I’m a busy guy, but with any luck I can get this working in a few days.

[Unknown]

Update on my progress. I am currently creating a virtual machine to conduct this experiment with. By the end of the day I will have retropie installed and functioning. Hopefully tomorrow I can start working on the install script.

[Unknown]

Ok. Looking at the install scripts that retropie uses, they all seem to install from source and I can't find an existing example of something using "flatpack". However Xemu provides detailed instructions for building from source so stay tuned.

[Unknown]

Ok here is the script I have made so far.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

    getDepends "${depends[@]}"
}
function sources_xemu() {
    gitPullOrClone
}

The script is complete, but it's a start. If anyone has any input I would be happy to take advice.

[Unknown]

Here is the complete script which runs without any errors as far as I can tell.

    fi
    addEmulator 1 "$md_id" "xbox" "$md_inst/xbox -r 3 -i %ROM%"
    addSystem "xbox"
}

I haven't tested the emulator itself yet because I don't currently have Bios or roms but we'll see soon.

[Unknown]

This morning my virtual machine decided it wanted to crash my computer whenever I tried to start it. I have no idea why, except for a humorous theory that it became sentient and decided that it didn't want to exist. :D
Anyway I will be testing today and hopefully get Xemu running after I take care of this setback.
Thank God that I posted the script here because otherwise I don't know how I would get it back.

i hate when they do that. :D

[Unknown]

@rogg23 said in Running Xbox original games on Retropie (PC only):

I've also recently been looking to do the same thing., on Ubuntu.

I installed Xemu via Flatpak, instructions on Xemu page.

Then I updated my es_systems.cfg to add xbox as follows:

  <system>
    <name>xbox</name>
    <fullname>Xbox</fullname>
    <path>/home/retropie/RetroPie/roms/xbox</path>
    <extension>.iso</extension>
    <command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ xbox %ROM%</command>
    <platform>xbox</platform>
    <theme>xbox</theme>
  </system>

I am currently to find my es_system.cfg file. You you tell me the directory?

[Unknown]

Ok I figured out the es_system thing. I tried running a game and I got this error.

Parameters: 
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/xemu/xbox -r 3 -i "/home/retropie/RetroPie/roms/xbox/ATV Quad Power Racing 2.iso"
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1322: /opt/retropie/emulators/xemu/xbox: No such file or directory

I assume it is searching a BIOS. Does anyone know how I can redirect it to the RetroPie Bios folder?

[ExarKunIv]

@Unknown we had a similar issue with aethersx2
we just made a symbolic to where it was look it for. we didnt figure out how to change it in the config

    # Create a symbolic link for BIOS
    if [ ! -L "$home/.config/aethersx2/bios" ]; then
        ln -s "$biosdir/ps2" "$home/.config/aethersx2/bios"
    fi
    

thats the best i can give. i have not messed with this yet

[Unknown]

@ExarKunIv
So I can run commands like that in the install script and it should look at the Retropie bios?

[ExarKunIv]

@Unknown here is the aethersx2 script as a guide

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra/master/scriptmodules/emulators/aethersx2.sh

[Unknown]

@ExarKunIv Thanks I will look into it.

[Unknown]

@ExarKunIv Ok I have changed the install script to this

    fi
    addEmulator 1 "$md_id" "xbox" "$md_inst/xbox -r 3 -i %ROM%"
    addSystem "xbox"
}

I reinstalled Xemu but I am still getting this error.

Parameters: 
Executing: /opt/retropie/emulators/xemu/xbox -r 3 -i "/home/retropie/RetroPie/roms/xbox/ATV Quad Power Racing 2.iso"
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1322: /opt/retropie/emulators/xemu/xbox: No such file or directory

The script has created an "xbox" folder in the retropie Bios directory and I put the Bios files in that folder, so I am guessing that I have failed to get the symbolic link working. However Progress is progress and I must thank you for your help so far. Do you have any more advice?

[ExarKunIv]

@Unknown hmm. it looks like it should work.

ill have to install this on mine and see if i see anything

just checking you have kernel=kernel8.img in the config.txt?

[ExarKunIv]

@Unknown ok i see what i think is the problem

you are missing the whole build line. you went from downloading the source to installing.
you need to build then install

look at the one for reicast

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/master/scriptmodules/emulators/reicast.sh

first you install the depends, then download the source, then build from source once thats done you install the files that where built. and from there you link the emulators.cfg with the correct paths

EDIT

unless the build.sh also installs it

[Unknown]

@ExarKunIv
Oh. Well that explains a lot. I'll try to fix this sometime later this week.

[Unknown]

Update. I have attempted to add a build section to the script but I am unable to catch any errors when I run it. So I have clone my virtual machine and I will be installing Xemu outside of RetroPie in order to get a better understanding of how it installs. I will keep you posted.

[Unknown]

Ok. This is my current install script.

You must forgive me because I am quite new to this. Can anyone provide assistance?

[Unknown]

Update. I made a change to script where it uses the exact command to clone XEMU instead of the "gitpullorclone" command and the system actually started building.
