RetroPie-Extra Repository

zerojay

Instead of bombarding this topic with every little change, I decided to wait a little bit. Here's everything that's been done on RetroPie-Extra since the last update 10 days ago:

rott: Removed old Rise of the Triad source port.
rott: Added new Rise of the Triad source port with added joystick support, supports shareware and full version.
texmaster2009: Update Texmaster2009 port to properly protect user configs and files from potentially being lost/replaced if reinstalled.
heboris: Update Heboris port to properly protect user configs and files from potentially being lost/replaced if reinstalled.
heboris: Reported Heboris bug upstream causing W key to pause the game even if not mapped to the pause button.
wizznic: Update Wizznic port to just install from Raspberry Pi OS packages instead of building from source.
openjazz: Updated OpenJazz dependencies to get properly looping music.
bermudasyndrome: Version bump and updated dependencies.
kweb: Updated to Buster compatible version/dependencies.
supertuxkart: Downgraded to RetroPie-Extra-unstable as it is far too slow/broken.
pydance: Updated to use newer git repo with more bugs fixed and added features, updated dependencies.
sorr: Fix reinstallation of sorr potentially removing your SorR.dat and other config/savegame files.
devilutionx: Added DevilutionX source port, Diablo game engine.
devilutionx: Move config dir to a safe place.
sorr: Update libpng12-dev dependency for Buster to libpng-dev.
solarus: Removed as it is now in RetroPie proper.
chocolate-doom: Fixed Freedoom download URL.
chocolate-doom-system, lr-prboom-system, crispy-doom-system: Added versions of Doom source ports to allow you to add DOOM as a system to RetroPie and directly launch WAD files from EmulationStation.
wizznic: Properly move Wizznic config directory somewhere safe.
xash3d-fwgs: Added xash3d-fwgs source port, Half-Life engine.
lr-bsnes: Added support for Super Game Boy as a system in RetroPie. Only worthwhile on a Pi 4.

xboxdrv repository - the one RetroPie uses currently:

xboxdrv: Added authentication support for newer Xbox One controllers that were released during the Xbox One S era, should allow more Xbox One controllers to work with RetroPie.

Have fun.

@zerojay Do you have any hints on configuring Heboris? I can only get it to run in a tiny corner in the top left of the screen and with partial sound.

When I go into the ingame menus and change sound from MIDI to MP3 as you advise, and hit A to save and exit, it doesn't save - if I then go back into the menu it's on MIDI again.

There's nothing on the port's GitHub page that's any help with either of these things, nor anything useful in HEBORIS.INI.

(Also, Hurrican boots but doesn't display. I can hear the music playing but I just get a black screen.)

@zerojay Is there a trick to getting Zelda Navi's Quest to run? It starts and doesn't return any errors, but the "Press a button to configure" stays put on the screen. After about 10 seconds the "Vincent Jouillat Presents" screen adds itself to lower left corner and locks the system up entirely.

Edit : Nevermind, I didn't realize it was waiting for me to hit Enter on a keyboard. :P

RoTT port with Joypad support works Great! It even plays the x14 Level Mods someone found on an 0ld CD ISO...
I have Zero issues using Joypad controls, however I still need a Keyboard to call the Main Menu. So a keyboard is always needed to Start play. Any way around this?
I recall a similar scenario a while ago for zdoom where it involved changing a few files before compile... Need to do the same here?

Help! :D

@duglor not sure whats going on there. but im guessing that it has to do with the RetroPie version you are running

they change how the helper scripts work and the lr-applewin script was made with that in mind.

if you dont want to update the main RetroPie setup to the latest. you will have to edit the install script and change a line

I will gladly edit the install script and change a line or I would be in your debt if you would, but again, of course I will.

@ExarKunIv
you can reply here or take the chat to my username here @gmail.com :) I'm really wanting to use applewin in retropie 4.7.1 !

I would need to change - https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra/blob/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-applewin.sh - which lines to what? Should I use a text editor or should i use something else?

Re: RetroPie-Extra Repository

PS2 (Aethersx2) not starting on Retropie (RaspberryPi 5)

Hello!
Installed Retropie-extras, vulkan drivers, added kernel8.img and got proper BIOS with PS2 games in .iso format.

I'm using Full desktop Raspberry OS, from which I use alt+f1 key kombination to start emulationstation from terminal. This way everythng has worked do far with all the other emulators.

But PS2 just doesn't open and shows that errors are logged at runcommand.log.
This is what runcommand.log shows:

rm: cannot remove '/opt/retropie/configs/ps2/Config/cache/vulkan_pipelines.bin': No such file or directory
Parameters: 
Executing: xinit /dev/shm/retropie_xinitrc -- vt1 -keeptty

(EE) 
Fatal server error:
(EE) Server is already active for display 0
	If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
	and start again.
(EE) 
(EE) 
Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support 
	 at http://wiki.x.org
 for help. 
(EE) 
X connection to :0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).

Any ideas?
Thank you! :)

ExarKunIv

@Peeteris yes the problem is you are using a desktop. 90% of all my scripts are going to have issues with that since they use XINIT to fake a dasktop to run.

so you will have to go in /opt/retropie/configs/ps2 and edit the emulators.cfg and remove XINIT; from the command line

that should do it.

Peeteris

@ExarKunIv Thank you for the anwer!
It's still not working, and the error code now appears different:

@Peeteris im going to have to go with wayland drivers are missing,
you can try to install them with sudo apt-get install wayland

this might or might not fix the issue. i dont test my scripts with a desktop since none of the official retropie releases have it. since Xinit didnt install. i have no idea on what else is missing

Peeteris

@ExarKunIv Wayland can't be installed, but I can probably enable it in the Raspi config. I guess this error is because the new Raspberry OS uses new window-stacking compositor called LABWC.
Well, I just disabled desktop environmet on start as that's an easier solution, it seems. Now PS2 is working, thank you!
