OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase

Voljega

Hi everyone, and especially @cyperghost

Sorry for what I guess is a stupid question, but I would like to try to port your OpenBor version to Recalbox, or at least start preliminary work on it (I have never done such work yet), so I wanted to start from a binary, and go from there before going through the compilation process.

I saw the link for binaries in first post but they just seem to link to further posts in the thread, themselves leading to first post in the thread ?
I am missing something and how to get binaries ?

Thank you for you help

EDIT : Hmm ok I suppose it's there : https://github.com/crcerror/RetroPie-OpenBOR-scripts/tree/master/binary

@Voljega yes that is the binary archive but it works only for Jessie and Stretch builds of Raspbian. You need additional libraries to get OpenBOR working. The possibilities of installing additional software is very limited on Recalbox and Bactocera builds.
I asked for help on RB and BC forums - no response ... So I would be glad if you can make some effort in porting this engine to other OSes.
Good luck

@cyperghost Been a while! I just received an 8bitDo SN30Pro controller as a gift, so I decided to make some more joypad configs as well as update the older since [gamename].bor.cfg configurations weren't compatible with the latest OpenBOR.

8bitDo has different modes so I created profiles for them all (wired & Bluetooth)

8bitDo (Switch Pro Controller BT).cfg
8bitDo (android wired).cfg
8bitDo (android BT).cfg
8bitDo (macOS wired).cfg
8bitDo (X-input wired & BT).cfg
PS3 (Wired).cfg
PS3 (Wireless).cfg
SNES Clone (tata).cfg

By the way, your OpenBOR-3400 failed to compile. I didn't spend any time looking into it, but here is the log I snagged in case your curious.

I'll keep those configs up for a while for whoever could use them. Standard config, w/ keyboard set to Player 2.

@BiZzAr721 Thx for the control set. I will include them
About the scriptmodule - I removed the tools packages. This caused the errors. Maybe you can reinstall und report?

BiZzAr721

I tried with your updated script and still did not complete. The error when it exits back to RetroPie-Setup is:

Could not successfully build openbor-3400 - OpenBOR - Beat 'em Up Game Engine v3400 (unsupported!)
(/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/openbor-3400/OpenBOR not found)

Here is the log

cyperghost

@BiZzAr721 It seems to be a failure in compiling. Can not look at it now but you can try to download ready compiled binary from here
The error causes this is

Makefile:240: recipe for target 'openbor.o' failed

Missing dependencies?

BiZzAr721

No worries. My main intent on re installing it was to check if the new controller configs work with the updated 3400.

@2Play That's okay so far. Did you download the latest version from OpenBOR or did you use my branch?

How to compile
Download OpenBOR from here https://github.com/DCurrent/openbor
Go to folder "engine"
Now get patch by using wget -q --show-progress "http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-Raspberry/master/patch/latest_build.diff"
Apply patch with patch -p0 -i latest_build.diff
Compile with make BUILD_PANDORA=1
Place your GLlib next to OpenBOR binary!

cyperghost

@2Play Haha ... The patch was prepared by me but you were able to compile the newest dev branch from version 6510. Congratulations! Maybe you want to share created binary?

Winklepicker

I was wondering can someone tell me the best version of OpenBOR to use for Raspberry pi?

Also how would I go about installing that onto the PI, if anyone can point me in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Any chance the newest/best version of OpenBOR will eventually be made officially into Retropie for easy install?

thanks

When I do the patch -p0 -i latest_build.diff I get this error:

@Winklepicker The way to install is all written in first topic. I don't know what is the BEST verison for you. But I can assure you that all version beyond the RetroPie standard version is always better ....

v3400 (RetroPie) is an old decrapted version you need to unpack the addon files (I don't recommend this)
v3400 in this thread is also old and unsupported but uses PAK files for input
v6315 was the first verions build with patched files
The newest branch is dev-6510 if you compile on yourself

@backstander ~~Can you post please Makefile.rej~~ there seems an error with compile flag settings but all in all you can build and compile OpenBOR.
Nice to see you back in action ;)

Located the error
Please use nano and edit the patchfile and remove

-= -Wl,-rpath,$(LIBRARIES) -lSDL2 -lSDL2_gfx
+= -Wl,-rpath,$(LIBRARIES) -lSDL2 -lSDL2_gfx -lGL

exchange to


-= -Wl,-rpath,$(LIBRARIES) -lSDL2
+= -Wl,-rpath,$(LIBRARIES) -lSDL2  -lGL

Anyway it should run with the resulted binary.
The OpenBOR devs seem to have changed the makefile. Thanks for feedback...
It's line 100+ in patchfile ;) Thanks for reporting....

Can you please give a feedback if the newest version will run on your system?

backstander

@cyperghost
Thanks for looking into this!

BTW: I just redownloaded the OpenBOR source to make sure I've got a fresh copy before patching again.

I made the changes on line 100 and 101 in latest_build.diff but I think I'm getting the same error:

$ patch -p0 -i latest_build.diff

Oh, I should note that this is off of my older RetroPie running Raspbian Jessie. I've been working on building a new 3B+ with Stretch but haven't got everything up and running like I want yet ;)

cyperghost

@backstander yes saw annother error
Plesse change line LIBS += -lSDL -lSDL_gfx -lts by removing lSDL_gfx

I am also still in on Jessie
Edit: thankfully I can say I am not a native speaker

@cyperghost

Personally I think either would work but you wouldn't want to upset the Grammar "Autocratics".

I think I edit that correctly but still getting error Hunk #4 FAILED at 572.

@backstander arghh well I have no PC to go deeper into that issue - Just tablet. So Iwould add just the -lGL switch to line 572 in makefile and compile the whole thing. Please add dependencies according to script module or the openbeta script before compiling

Oh that could be an issue. I hadn't gotten that far because I was still stuck on the patching haha
