3DS emulator for Pi users based on "Borked 3DS"

@roslof OK, that wasn't supposed to happen. Thanks for letting me know. I will need to do some additional investigation to figure out how to get the install script to add the env var to /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg. I haven't seen it done in any other examples scripts and so I will have to do some digging.

I think the runcommand didn't work because it was missing a semicolon.
The env part is a command not an option, by adding the semicolon, I think, it should work now.
The change can be viewed here.
Script needs to be checked and tested again.

@roslof
If you want you can test only the configure part by doing the following commands.

cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh borked3ds configure

That should only install the new runcommands.

Found that it should be possible to add a configuration gui to the script.
I tested the "function gui_retroarch" from retroarch.sh and renamed it and placed it in the script.
It will then add an option for borked3ds in the configuration / tools menu.
This means that if we I create a function called "function gui_borked3ds" we can work from there,
and it should be possible to create something similar as the mamedev.sh script.

This is a good news.

In the PS2 script from Retropie Extra, they have write config settings at the end of the script.This is another example to preset the GUI.

Depending of what we want to add that's indeed a way of adding config settings quite easily.
However if we want to add other or more stuff a gui could come in handy.
Examples could be :

predefined gamelists
cheats
joystick configs

just naming a few ideas.

Cheers, Folly. I'm having the same basic issue with the modification. For what it's worth, here are the contents of emulators.cfg post-change:

borked3ds-ui = "env MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=GL_OES_texture_buffer;XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/borked3ds/borked3ds"
borked3ds-roms = "env MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=GL_OES_texture_buffer;XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/borked3ds/borked3ds %ROM%"
default = "borked3ds-roms"

This is what runcommand is executing:

Executing: env MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=GL_OES_texture_buffer;XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/borked3ds/borked3ds "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/3ds/Angry Birds Star Wars.3ds"

and here is the bottom of runcommand.log:

_=/usr/bin/env
MESA_EXTENSION_OVERRIDE=GL_OES_texture_buffer
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh: line 1329: XINIT-WMC:/opt/retropie/emulators/borked3ds/borked3ds: No such file or directory

For now, on my local device, will revert to having the env command in es_systems.cfg and remove it from emulators.cfg (which works fine).

Thanks for letting me know.

@DTEAM @ExarKunIv @gvx64
Do you have the same issue ?

Edit :
Turned off the launch_extension until there is a better solution.

@DTEAM

I added the basic structure for adding a Configuration/Options menu (also viewable from the main Configuration/Tools menu).
You can view the commit here .
Try to play with it and see how it works.
The "build_menu" code is basically code from the docsview script.
I also use that for the mamedev script, with the addition for showing and running stuff that is placed inside a CSV.
Here I used the special char □ as comma so commas can be used in the CSV.
If you somehow need to add " in the commands then use a backslash in front of it.
Let me know if you can work with that.

@Folly

It works, we can see options 1 to 4 . Maybe we could start (option 1 = pi5/pi4 settings and option 2 cheat codes) I didn't test a cheat code yet with that emulator. Here's a forum about it . I don't see sites with all the cheat codes ready to go. For Joystick, is there a way to match ES settings like Lr emulators?

@roslof

I have no games (many games) issue on my side for Pi5. It's probably un 3d parameter selected in the graphic options menu

If you go in

/home/pi/.config/borked3ds-emu

here's my settings

qt-config.ini

sdl2-config.ini

Game language is set to french. Youwill have to change it

You are talking about changing these ini files depending on rpi4 and rpi5 right ?
We might be able to do that without adding full ini-files.
If possible a good idea would be to change just the settings needed for that specific platform.
Something like this (copied from mame.sh) :

       iniConfig " " "" "$temp_ini_mame"
       iniSet "rompath"            "$romdir/$system;$romdir/arcade;$biosdir/$system"
       iniSet "hashpath"           "$md_inst/hash"

Edit :
Using the the cheat messages, from your link, to show up in the menu are likely not possible as the messages seem to be encrypted and only viewable in a browser.

For Joystick, is there a way to match ES settings like Lr emulators?

Don't know, we should do one by one thing, otherwise it's too much ;-)

Btw.
About the config files.
If needed, we can use curl to get the raw files from pastebin.

@DTEAM

Just made some working code to edit the qt-config.ini file.

"□Enable Gles□□iniConfig \"=\" \"\" \"/home/$user/.config/borked3ds-emu/qt-config.ini\";iniSet \"use_gles\" \"true\"□□□□□printMsgs dialog \"NO HELP\"□"
"□Disable Gles□□iniConfig \"=\" \"\" \"/home/$user/.config/borked3ds-emu/qt-config.ini\";iniSet \"use_gles\" \"false\"□□□□□printMsgs dialog \"NO HELP\"□"

The functions are explained in the inifuns.sh script.

Another example would be :

"□Overwrite qt-config.ini from pastebin□□curl https://pastebin.com/raw/KXEmXpjQ > \"/home/$user/.config/borked3ds-emu/qt-config.ini\"□□□□□printMsgs dialog \"NO HELP\"□"

Seems the user right are still "pi", but it might be that we need to add chown to the command in order to keep the correct rights.

Folly

Added a useful config option.

@Folly Question, I just tried instaling Borked 3DS on my pi5 and I got could not successfully (home/pi/Retropie-setup/setup/temp/build/borked3ds/build/bin not found) How I solve this? thanks

Folly

@Retrodade

What kind of distro version are you running and is it 32 bit or 64 bit ?
Can you add your log to pastebin ?
