@el_pablo said in How to exit my own Godot ports?:

@mitu ok, so if I understand correctly even SNES games had their START + SELECT to exit? Or it's implemented into the emulator?

It's the emulator.

@mitu Thanks for digging this up. I will remember it when I am about to fix this.

@mitu It's working perfectly with box86-0.2.2.

Here is my script that runs UT2004 natively at full speed on Piboy XRS through EmulationStation with mapped controls. We must go into the UT System folder before launching ut2004.bin to avoid "MissingIni" error.

if pgrep xboxdrv; then sudo killall -s SIGKILL xboxdrv > /dev/null; fi cd sudo /opt/retropie/supplementary/xboxdrv/bin/xboxdrv \ --detach-kernel-driver \ --config /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/PiboyXRS_unreal_xboxdrv.cfg > /dev/null \ & cd cd '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/UT2004/System/' xinit /home/pi/box86-0.2.2/build/box86 'ut2004-bin' > /dev/null 2>&1 sleep 1 sudo killall -s SIGKILL xboxdrv > /dev/null

The PiboyXRS_unreal_xboxdrv.cfg file :
(Should be working with any gamepad with adjustments)

[xboxdrv] evdev=/dev/input/event0 dpad-as-button=true trigger-as-button=true silent=true deadzone=5000 [evdev-absmap] ABS_X=X1 ABS_Y=Y1 ABS_RX=x2 ABS_RY=y2 [ui-axismap] x1=KEY_Q:KEY_D y1=KEY_S:KEY_Z x2=REL_X:5 y2=REL_Y:-3 [evdev-keymap] BTN_SOUTH=b BTN_EAST=a # BTN_C=tr BTN_NORTH=y BTN_WEST=x # BTN_Z=tl BTN_START=guide BTN_SELECT=start BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY4=dd BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY3=du BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY1=dl BTN_TRIGGER_HAPPY2=dr BTN_TR=rb BTN_TL=lb BTN_TR2=rt BTN_TL2=lt BTN_THUMBL=tl BTN_THUMBR=tr [ui-buttonmap] du=KEY_UP dd=KEY_DOWN dl=KEY_LEFT dr=KEY_RIGHT rt=BTN_LEFT lt=BTN_RIGHT tr=KEY_T tl=KEY_R x=KEY_A b=KEY_SPACE y=KEY_1 a=KEY_ENTER lb=KEY_F1 rb=BTN_RIGHT guide=KEY_M start=KEY_ESC

You can adjust some keys in UT controls parameters in game instead modify this .cfg that can be used for ohters FPS games.

Thanks for your help.

@Nash does xboxdrv have hotkeys, turbo, and toggle settings like antimicrox?

Made a post here: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35784/does-xboxdrv-have-hotkeys-turbo-and-toggle-settings-like-antimicrox

I see in process list "dbus-daemon" that probably launched by xinit. When controls fails at the first launch, this process is after the game process in the list. When controls are ok during next launches, this process is before. It looks like the game need this process before.

Is there a way to delay the launch of the game started by xinit command ?

xinit '/home/pi/box86/build/box86' '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/ut99/System/ut-bin-x86'

Here is another suggestion to help speed up AetherSX2 that I discovered today:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/36636/aethersx2-cache-question-any-way-to-auto-clear-or-turn-off

@mitu Not yet, let me try that out when I get the chance soon.

@jetcold0 I haven't see something about this project, it looks that they are offering openmohaa-v0.61.0-linux-armhf.zip . Maybe it is possible to run this in a Pi but i don't know how.

Yeah I think this is it. Thanks for the help.

@fadingrose said in How to add a custom port (Emby Theatre):

BTW if i pop into /opt/retropie/configs/ports/emby-theater/emulators.cfg there isn't any emby files in this on either the pi or laptop?

Right, so nothing that says runcommand in it is going to work.

The first step is going to be to get it running, on your Pi4, with something typed in from the command-line. Does that work?

To start emby theatre from the command line i just typed emby-theatre on the laptop and it loads.

How about on your Pi4, does it work the same, there?

I wanted to test emby-theater running in Retropi on my laptop first and then mirror the results on my actual Pi4 running Retropi once i know it worked

Solid plan.

so i created the emby-theater.sh file in /RetroPie/roms/ports on the laptop and included the following in the file which i copied from the Kodi.sh file.

#!/bin/bash "/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "emby-theater" ""

This then threw the error "no config found for system emby-theater" when i tried loading it in retropie,

Right, because runcommand is set up for kodi but not for emby.

I then updated the emby-theater.sh file and replace the above with the following.

#!/bin/bash "/usr/bin/emby-theater"

When i then booted retropi on the laptop and tried booting emby-theater it booted but has a long line at the bottom of the screen like in the photo.

Okay so at least it starts...

I then have to open a terminal on my second screen and xkill to get out of emby/retropie.

...doesn't sound like it works properly, though. And you don't have this same problem, when starting it from console?

Anyway i then moved onto the Raspberry pi 4 with Retropie installed and did the following

...

tried booting emby-theater and was greeted with

Line 2: 1175 Segmentation fault /usr/bin/emby-theater

And this is how far i have gotten at the moment?

That "Segmentation fault" indicates that the script itself works, (inasmuch as it's getting run, anyway), just the program doesn't. So, we are back at the start. Can you launch it from console on the RPi4 with either emby-theater or /usr/bin/emby-theater, or anything else?

@ExarKunIv I attempted this unsuccessfully but will give it another shot.

The configs in openbor are not user readable / not in any way like a retroarch.cfg.

And like I referenced above, my openbor saves are for some reason saving to: /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/Saves

You should change the Audio Device in EmulationStation's settings to one of the entries listed by aplay. If you the option doesn't show up in the menu, then edit es_settings directly and fill in the AudioDevice there.

front:CARD=Audio, DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
Front Speakers

surround21:CARD=Audio, DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
2.1 Surround output to Front and Subwoofer speakers

surround40:CARD=Audio, DEV=0
USB Audio, USB Audio
4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers

You'll get much farther ahead in life if you turn off "hide extensions for known file types" now, rather than later.

@TheAutisticGamer said in Run Games that require a Desktop for SDL:

EDIT. Is this how its suppost to be done in emulators.cfg?
sonic3air = "XINIT:/home/pi/RetroPie/ports/sonic3air.sh"
ports_sonic3air = "sonic3air"

No, it should be

sonic3air = "XINIT:/path/to/launch/script/or/program" default = "sonic3air"

I don't think your game is installed as a port - you should have the emulators.cfg in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/sonic3air and the /home/pi/RetroPie/ports/sonic3air.sh should contain:

"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "sonic3air"

@kazuuu
You could install a port from the setup script and it’ll create one for you at /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports. I would assume you could just create your own folder there but not sure if there’s anything else that would need to be created for it work? Installing from the script would make sure everything was made and you could always delete the other game after the folder was made.

@TCM said in How can I add a game to Emulationstation?:

So I can only play the game from Raspbian/Raspberry OS and not through Retropie OS?

Using flatpak, yes. But since flatpak is just a runtime container, the game doesn't depend on it and there should be a method to install it natively on RaspiOS without the need for flatpak.

Well it was worth a shot. Maybe I’ll keep playing around and stumble across something. I appreciate the help though.

@NIGHTKILLER05 I'm not at my device right now to test it but I think quoting the actual "${0%.*}" should do it. You'll need to use "double-quotes", since 'single-quotes' prevent ${variable_expansion}. Since it's inside the (parentheses), I think it's okay to have the quotes inside the other quotes and you shouldn't have to \"escape them\". Try:

ln -sf "/home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_media/ports/screenshots/$(basename "${0%.*}").png" /opt/retropie/configs/ports/doom/launching.png
