OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase

[cyperghost]

@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

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

patching file sdl/opengl.c
Hunk #1 succeeded at 223 (offset -2 lines).

And here is what's in my Makefile.rej:

@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

[backstander]

@cyperghost

I am also still in on Jessie

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

[backstander]

@cyperghost

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

[OliB]

Hi@all,

how can I stop background music from emulationstation as soon as openbor beta is running and get back to it after stopping obenbor?

[mitu]

@OliB If you're using the Python script for the background music, make sure you add the OpenBor executable filename to the list of emulators, so the script knows when it's started.

[OliB]

@mitu THX ! Yes, using the phyton script - will try it now....

[OliB]

@mitu Sorry, I'm still "learning" Can you tell me where I have to do the changes in this script?

I guess I must do it at this section:

#TODO: Fill in all of the current RetroPie Emulator process names in this list.
emulatornames =

But, what is the correct name of openbor beta? Is it "OpenBOR OPENBETA" Same as the .sh file is named?

THX

[mitu]

I think it's openbor or openbor-beta ?

[OliB]

@mitu openbor is already there. Try it with openebor-beta now
But did you think the section in the script is the right one?

[mitu]

@OliB said in OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase:

But did you think the section in the script is the right one?

Yes, there should be just one section with the emulator names.
