      So, I followed everything as said in here, the port opens and works just fine on raspbian, but when i try to run it trough retropie it just sends me back to the ports menu.

        @Deityfierezy So there might be some kind of error in the master branch, I re-tried it now with an earlier branch it worked out for me.

        Maybe try this and see if it works for you:-

        git clone https://github.com/HarbourMasters/Shipwright.git
        cd Shipwright
        
        git checkout 8.0.4 
        
        git submodule update --init

          Also I have been testing out their Majora's mask Port and it also works. Same steps and dependencies as for Ocarina but after those then run this:-

          git clone https://github.com/HarbourMasters/2ship2harkinian
          cd 2ship2harkinian
          git submodule update --init
          

          Copy your Majora's mask .z64 rom into ORTExporter directory then run these:-

          cmake -H. -Bbuild-cmake -GNinja
          cmake --build build-cmake --target ExtractAssets
          cmake --build build-cmake
          
          

          As before copy the 2s2h.elf, 2ship.o2r & mm.o2r into /opt/retropie/ports/2s2h and create an .sh file that points towards it and the similar steps as before.

          Only done a quick run around as the deku doing the first cycle but it seems to play pretty well

            hey thanks for this, got it up and running on my pi5 with pi os, runs well. a bit off topic but this is the only relevant post i can find, is it possible to build the perfect dark PC port for the raspberry pi 5? i don't have the best knowledge with this stuff, was wondering if anyone has done it, thanks.

              @nioh8 maybe
              there is a Perfect Dark Decompilation on github, so there is a possibility that it could work.

                @ExarKunIv yea there’s a full fledged pc port here

                https://github.com/fgsfdsfgs/perfect_dark

                But I’m not well versed in compiling so was looking for some direction in how to build it

                    @mitu i hate to tag you. but im out of ideas.

                    @retropieuser555 and I are trying to get a script working for the port above. and im seeing something i have not seen before.

                    here is the script
                    from what i can tell it is good and for the most part it works fine, but the thing is. it takes like 6 hours if it finishes

                    but if you run the command above it will take like 30 min. (i timed it)

                    what could be causing this issue. is there something in the background that RetroPie doing that would slow this down.
                    im very lost here

                      Pure guesswork, but running it from the script sets MAKEFLAGS to increase parallelism during build, which requires a great amount of RAM due to multiple threads compiling at the same time. The RAM requirement is so great, that it hits the SWAP, which is going to massively slowdown the compilation.

                      Running the commands by hand will use a single thread/CPU for compiling, lowering the RAM requirements and thus finishing sooner.

                      Btw, RetroPie already has a swap adding/removing function in helpers, there no need to invent another one.

                      EDIT: forgot to add. Modify the build function and unset MAKEFLAGS or set it to -j1, before the cmake commands are executed. See if that changes anything.

                          @mitu so adding the -j1 did the trick
                          j1 was slow so i changed the number, but its working

                          i just need a little help with the function rpSwap() i dont know how to set that up correctly

                          or is there a current script that already uses this that i can look at

                            openmsx and mame use that function. The only parameter is the amount of Mb you need, which the function allocates taking into account the existing RAM.
