    Not sure if anyone has heard of SRB2? but i compiled it today to see if it would run. Well as it does, it works from the seems of it. It has controller support, apparently multiplayer .

    If you're interested in compiling it for yourself, here are the steps it took. (MORE PORTS :)

    git clone https://github.com/STJr/SRB2.git &&

    cd SRB2/build

    *Copy .dat .srb to assets folder from the original game (srb2.org)

      Wow! I actually remember and have played Sonic Robo Blast 2! It was a fork of the Doom Legacy source port without using any of id Software's assets! So essentially it runs on a Doom engine.

      My brother and I would play this co-op on 2 computers. I can't remember if this game supports split screen play.

          I made a working module for simple installation into the ports menu:

          link here:

          I'm sure it can be improved a bit but it functions for now.

            @herb_fargus
            I was kind of curious if a install script could be made with all the game assets in SRB2-v2117-Installer.exe. I was thinking you'd had to install it on Windows to get those files and then move them over to the Pi but it looks like 7zip can manual extract them. Brilliant idea!

            I tried it out last night and it ran pretty well. I would get somewhere between 15-28 fps but visually it looked smooth. I had forgotten about the annoying camera and was trying to figure out a way to bind moving the camera around using the Left and Right Trigger buttons (because the left stick is for movement and the right stick is for strafing). It plays fine with a mouse and keyboard :-)

              You can configure the controller in the options by going to
              Options -> Setup Controls -> Player 1 -> Joystick Options
              Then setting
              Turning to z-axis
              Moving to y-axis
              Strafing to x-axis

              This should let left analog move and strafe while right analog to turn. To maximize your fps you can also change a few settings as well in the video options.
              Changing Video Modes
              Reducing All Draw Dist
              Turning vSync off

              Hope that improves your gaming.

                  @edmaul69 use the pending pull request on the RetroPie repo. I hope we can get it merged in but it depends on the response of the sonic team

                    I believe I put the .sh file in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/ and then just ran the RetroPie-Setup Script and I think it was in the experimental section. I'm not at my RPi so I'm going off memory.

                    Here's the PR that @herb_fargus is referring too:

                            I saw this, and since I had been searching for something like this, I had to have it. I wanted just to install it onto Raspbian, and since Retropie is just Raspbian with a special Emulationstation cover, I tried just that. Writing this as of compiling.

                              I'm attempting to get this up and running with the above but I am not having much luck. Any advice you could PM me would be appreciated.

                              Take note...this is my first time "adding" a port so it's got to be a simple step I seem to be failing to realize.

                                @argii don't use the convoluted knickknackery I did. Just install it from the setup script.

                                  I titled it RoboBlast2.sh and put it in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/ but it doesn't show up in the setup script.

                                    @argii it's already in the setup script. If it's not you haven't updated.

                                    It will be in the experimental section

                                        @herb_fargus updated and still not working. pie-setup says it can't find version .17 in the bin folder while trying to install version .19

                                        It won't allow me to add anything to that bin folder.
                                        It does nothing when I update from source
