OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase

OliB

@mitu Sorry, I'm a noob and I'm a little bit confused. A few games are running well. Examples: Crisis Evil 1 & 2, but He-Man didn't start. Some questions:

What kind of parameters do you mean?
Which, let's say *.pak romsets are compatible with my installed version?
Is it mandatory to replace the OpenBOR EXE provided by darknior?

@OliB if you installied 6xxx branch there should be a script OpenBOR - Module Selection you may set openbor 6xxx AS default Emulator for Rom. Press a button if loading screen appears and select proper Binary in UserMenu

Can someone upload a video how to install the newest version of OpenBOR to retropie?

It would really help alot of people! (including myself) on how to get this up and running.

@Winklepicker Why don't you use the scriptmodules provided here?
Just follow instructions and you've OpenBOR 6510-dev from Oct.2018 on your system. I do not update the patcher as long 6510 versions are in developing status. But you can compile on your own you want? Video instructions? For what? Half year later it is deprecated.

Just follow instructions and you've OpenBOR 6412-dev from Nov.2018 on your system. I do not update the patcher as long 6412 are in developing status. But you can compile on your own you want? Video instructions? For what? Half year later it is deprecated.

I did try that, but there is no sign of "OpenBOR" install in the "experimental packages" section, it does not show.

@Winklepicker there should be at least one entry from openbor as default install in exp section. Please recheck that

Hi
On the last Double Dragon game i have some bugs because it's made for the last OpenBOR build.
And i read they fix many problem on OpenBOR with the last build ... and the stable version 4.0 is coming too :)

http://www.chronocrash.com/forum/index.php?topic=4000.new;topicseen#new

Is some one as compiled the last build and can share it here ?
I'm always on the old Retropie v3 :p

cyperghost

@darknior I have OpenBOR 6510-dev 4month ago compiled here
You may do the newest compile on your own... I hope for a new release, too and will provide patches asap. I think it does not make much sense to rely on dev-branches.

Unfortunately I dont see anything in regards to OpenBOR install in the exp packages section

@Winklepicker Please post output of ls /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/o*

thats what it shows when I run that script you told me to do, any idea's what could be wrong?

cyperghost

@Winklepicker Okay openbor-6xxx.sh is available and it should be visible. But why is openbor.sh missing? Did you delete this module? I am asking because this file should be available as default. You can try wget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta/master/scriptmodules/openbor.sh -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor.sh to get the original file.

@mitu what does !mali !x11 !kms means?

mitu

@cyperghost It means the scriptmodule is not enabled (and not visible) for the platforms having those flags. Based on those flags, I think the scriptmodule is only enabled for the PI platform (i.e. no Odroid or PCs).

cyperghost

@mitu Yes I think so! Thank you

@Winklepicker I've updated the script file. Please use wget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta/master/scriptmodules/openbor-6xxx.sh -O- | tr -d '\r' > /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx.sh command

It should look like this here!

@cyperghost

Thank you for the info cyperghost , that seemed to work. It made it show in the exp packages and I installed it.

There is two file names in the ports folder

OPENBOR - BEATS OF RAGE ENGINE
OPENBOR - MODULE SELECTION SCRIPT

which one should I run? do you need both of them? I tried the top one but it only displays a small gui box in the bottom left of the screen.

Also how do I turn off the background music when I go to load a game?

I think atm I'm running the python bgm script, I use that one because it has a fade in and out option. But the bg music never stops after I loaded a game via OpenBOR. Is it an easy fix?

Also do you have to configure/change the controls from keyboard to joypad every time you load a game?

many thanks

cyperghost

@Winklepicker the two scripts where implement by myself. The selection script let's choose PAK files. The other script just starts the binary. Sadly every single game has to be configured on it's own. So I take configuration on one game and save the configuration as master and then use that file to copy for other games by using the run command .

For the music set the name OpenBOR for python

Thanks, so we dont need the script that runs the binary? we just use the the script that lets choose pak files

Also I dont suppose you could tell me, how do I edit the pygame background music thing? and add the OpenBOR into it?

thank you

@Winklepicker
One question what for a theme are you using?
It's looking great - is it Chicuelo?

For the BGM thing ... Just for a few days annother user asked the same question in this thread
For automatic setup Joypads ... A small workaround

Thanks, so we dont need the script that runs the binary?

That depends... if you just put a single PAK file then then binary will automatically start this single file. If you use more PAK files (usually you will do ;) ) you can set a new system OpenBOR and can access all these PAK files like every other emulator or use the PAK selection script (I prefer this way)

Its a modified version of Chicuelo I did, with neon/retro color and art :)
The Chicuelo is my favourite theme.

I did see that post about the BGM, but to be honest I have no idea what any of that means, or what I need to do exactly. I just want to stop the music from playing, so I can hear the BOR games.

cyperghost

@Winklepicker Just updated answer above
About BGM.... edit the python script and in the array

just add "OpenBOR" - the way how this script works by detecting binaries is a bit unfortunate. But hell it works nice so far ;) I think the script needs a restart after doing this.
