Star Wars Tie Fighter Collector's CD-ROM Tutorial
-
@mbrett why are you putting your sh files in the games folders and not directly in the pc folder? Even though i own all of the floppies and the cd's it looks like i need to purchase this to understand what they changed.
-
@edmaul69 Listen, I'm a complete noob at this. I don't know one thing about installing DOS games, because I never owned a computer powerful enough to run any of these games until I graduated college. So, please, a little patience is appreciated. I'm not applying for a job here. I can't figger out the command line to grant TIECD.ssh 777 permission. I type cd /retropie/roms/pc/TIECD & Raspbian tells me directory or file not found. I'll try with TIECD.ssh (I figger that's the name it should be called) in PC folder.
-
@edmaul69 OK, so I figured out how to grant TIECD.ssh 777 permission. I rebooted. And it still asked the same question about VEGA BIOS.
I still think we're close, though.
-
@mbrett it is a .sh file not .ssh. No worries, i am more than patient enough to help you.
-
@mbrett read my last post. Also in the .sh file remove the
-c "exit"Doing that if there are errors inside of dosbox it will tell you instead of exiting.
-
@edmaul69 OK, so now I see a white TIECD below the grey TIECD folder in MSDOS in ES. So that's new. When I click on that, it goes to black screen for a bit then crashes back to ES, with and without -c "exit".
-
@edmaul69 Is 0777 different than 777? I read your earlier post as a typo but, shit, 0777 is probably just a completely different permission I bet.
-
@mbrett did you name the file .sh or .ssh. It has to be .sh. And if you dont give permissions it will always kick back to emulationstation. That is your first issue you need to fix. Leave the -c "exit" out of the file until you get it working. Once you have permissions correct and named .sh it wont crash back to emulationstation. (As long as you remove the -c "exit")
-
@mbrett 0777 and 777 should be the same if you set permissions from commandline.
-
@mbrett73
sudo chmod 777 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/TIECD.sh -
@mbrett just edited last post for typo. Read my last few posts. Caps and lowercase are important when you set permissions
-
@edmaul69 We're getting somewhere.
stub exec failed:
dos4gw.exe
No such file or directoryIn good news, TIECD mounted as CD.
-
@edmaul69 OK, so I just copied dos4gw.exe from my X-Wing directory and pasted it into TIECD. Bum ba ba bum, it worked! Now, the install...
I tried to do recommended, and it said I couldn't do it from HD. I'd have to run the install.exe.I need a .sh for that, too, right?
-
@mbrett just temporarily edit the one you have for right now. Try this:
#!/bin/bash /opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox -c "mount d /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/TIECD -t cdrom" -c "mount c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc" -c "d:" -c "TIE.EXE" -
@mbrett i edited my last post. Try this. THIS IS HAVING IT BOOT FROM THE D DRIVE. If it doesnt work, change TIE.EXE to INSTALL.EXE
-
@edmaul69 OK, so it booted up again, and I was able to do a Recommended install on C drive. I tried installing, and it said it was unsuccessful. I exited out of program. Now, when I click TIECD, it sends me back to DOSbox. I see D:> right below D:> TIE.
So, huh?
-
@mbrett just dump your files back on. It might have corrupted something. I ripped my cd and it is going to take 20 minutes to finish. I am going to try to replicate what you have so i can give you an accurate sh file.
-
@mbrett read my last post. Looking back at your files in the images you posted, first file on first image says gog.games.filepart or something like that. That means all your files didnt transfer. You need to delete that file and re add all the files and make sure you dont end up with another .filepart file anywhere. Then can youshow me images with all files
-
@mbrett so after you fix your files and make sure they are all on there. this .sh here should boot something. take a screenshot of whatever comes on your screen and post it here.
#!/bin/bash /opt/retropie/emulators/dosbox/bin/dosbox -c "mount c /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pc/TIECD" -c "c:" -c "TIE.EXE" -
