    Hi everyone, has anyone managed to install Openbor on Raspberry 5?
    I tried both with the "openbor" and "openbor-v6510-rpi4" entries from the "manage experimental package" menu, but without success.
    I get the error:
    ollect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
    make: *** [Makefile:252: OpenBOR] Error 1
    borpak.c: In function ‘main’:

    thanks for the help

      @Lukesv those versions don't work for the pi5.

      Over at https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

      There is openbor-v5 that for the pi5 and it should work.
      It's in the emulator section

        @ExarKunIv I am totally unaware of the existence of RetroPie-Extra. Now I try to install it.
        Thanks

          Hello, I think I'm doing something wrong ...
          I installed the RetroPie-Extra, and, after launching it, I found in the emulators section the openbor-v5.sh, which I installed. The script was created, in fact when I launch the retropie_setup.sh, I find the entry in the "experimental package" section - "Retropie-Extra. Only that if I select it, there is no entry for installation, but only "Package help".
          Where am I going wrong?
          Thanks for the help.

            @Lukesv sorry that you came across this. i do try and not have errors with the scripts.
            just tested it on my Pi5

            it is now fixed. you just need to run./install-extras.sh so you can remove the old script and run the update option and then select the script again

            then find it in the main retropie_setup menu again

                Hi, i have Pi5, and installed OpenBor Pi5 edition.
                How do I get OpenBor to work?

                The OpenBor section in the ES menu and under Ports doesn't show the OpenBor Pi5.

                What should I do first?

                I wanna really work OpenBor game on Pi5...スクリーンショット 2025-04-06 013839.png

                      I'm sorry, but I don't use EmulationStation — I use Attract Mode. From what I understand, your issue is that you don't see OpenBOR listed among the available emulators, right?

                        I can't exactly help you, I just know that with openbor, there are games that will only work with certain versions of openbor. I had this problem with tmnt retropalooza. It was built on an old version (I think), which isn't supported without a convoluted process. I'd imagine there is a list of games somewhere that should work with it. I'll be right back.

                          I will take a look tomorrow. It was working fine for me. So I will verify it if fix if needed. Or if anything I can tell you what might be the reason why you are not seeing anything

                          Also this will make a new system for you to pick your games from. It will not be under ports

                            @retro777 so i just installed that and it works with my .pak files fine.
                            Im running the latest version of the script and that makes it a standalone system

                            there should not be any openbor folder in the ports folder if you are using the same one
                            the openbor folder is in the main roms dir and you only need the .pak file

                            I also found the same game and it works just fine.

                            so look for the openbor folder in the main roms dir and put only the .pak files in there
                            you will have to restart emulation station for it to be seen.

                                @retro777 roms/openbor/(.pak files)

                                thats it. not saying that you might come across a game that will need something else but you dont need to do anything to the .pak files.

                                if they come in a .zip file or any other form of compression. just get the.pak file out of there

                                    @ExarKunIv thanks for your infomation.
                                    you have pi5 and runnning on emulation station?(Retropie)?

                                    my emulator.cfg is here
                                    openbor-v5 = "/opt/retropie/emulators/openbor-v5/OpenBOR %ROM%"

                                    my .pak file now to /rom/ports/openbor

                                    When I select a game, the screen goes dark for a moment and then returns to the original EmulationStation screen.

                                    this is my pics.
                                    any ideas?!

                                      yes since the openbor-v5 will only work on the Pi5. i have it written that way
                                      and yes its only on retropie.

                                      so a few questions.
                                      1 what did you follow when you built your system. (instrustions)?

                                      2 do you have a desktop

                                      3 do you have the kernel=kernel8.img in the config.txt?

                                      4 can you post the runcommand output. look for it here after you try running a game
                                      /dev/shm/runcommand it will help me see whats going on

                                      since there is no offical image yet. i have to see what you are running
                                      i use the unoffical image from here or used to be there. the links are not working at this time
                                      so my sruff might be different then yours

                                        my pi5 system already built in SDcard.(.iso image)

                                        2 do you have a desktop

                                        yes. but my setting is now not desktop running on startup (console emulation station only)

                                        3 do you have the kernel=kernel8.img in the config.txt?

                                        boot/firmware/config.txt is here

                                        4 can you post the runcommand output. look for it here after you try running a game
                                        /dev/shm/runcommand it will help me see whats going on

                                        since there is no offical image yet. i have to see what you are running
                                        i use the unoffical image from here or used to be there. the links are not working at this time
                                        so my sruff might be different then yours

                                        sudo nano /dev/shm/runcommand
                                        create new file appeared!

                                          my pi5 system already built in SDcard.(.iso image)
                                          where did you get it

                                          @retro777 said in Openbor on Rasperry 5:

                                          sudo nano /dev/shm/runcommand

                                          not what i ment.
                                          in the /dev/shm/ folder. you will have a runcommand.txt. i need whats in that.

                                          yes. but my setting is now not desktop running on startup (console emulation station only)

                                          hmm for me to really say i need the runcommand.txt. but there is a chance that you having a desktop even though its not running is the problem
