OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase

@cyperghost I'm back to being just an average joe, not making images, not part of a team. I'll get right on this tomorrow :)

i have been trying to get this installed on my circuit sword cm3 build for about 8 hours now. i have no idea what i am doing wrong. i have the dimitri build installed and can see it in /home/pi. in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports i have three scripts: OpenBOR - Beats of Rage Engine.sh, OpenBOR - Module Selection Script.sh, OpenBOR_OPENBETA.sh. when i go to ports in ES i cannot see OpenBOR. i have stared at this thread until my eyes are watering and cannot find a solution. if anyone could help that would be great. just let me know what info i need to provide and i will provide it.

@mull80

Please post output of /dev/shm/runcommand.log
Please check if /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx directory is available
Please post content of /opt/retropie/configs/ports/openbor/emulators.cfg

Then we will see what happens here. I think you just did not set the correct emulator.

We will use OpenBOR - Module Selection Script.sh only.... but step by step.

@cyperghost

thank you for taking the time to help.

i have no run command file in that location. i am a noob so forgive my ignorance.
there is one directory. it is openbor. not openbor 6xxx

openbor = "pushd /opt/retropie/ports/openbor; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor/OpenBOR %ROM%; popd"
default = "openbor"

cyperghost

@mull80 try the installation with scriptmodule again. Its openbor-6xxx
If there are any errors then write back - I never installed on a CM3. So there seem error in compiling. It looks like you have installed an old version of openbor

mull80

@cyperghost
you were right. i had the older version still installed. now i have 6xxx. but i still have nothing in ports in ES. also i have this error /home/pi/openbor_openbeta/OpenBOR: error while loading shared libraries: libvpx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

still no runcommand.log
directory is not there.

openbor-6xxx = "pushd /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx/OpenBOR %ROM%; popd"

cyperghost

@mull80 this looks good place your pak files to ports openbor dir and select openbor-6xxx as default

mull80

finally. i had to manually edit the gamelist to add openbor to ports. but it was a success.

now i just to need to get my controls right. thanks for the help.

EDIT
D-PAD doesn't work in game. in the controller config menu it recognized the input but the d-pad does not work in game.

SinisterSpatula

@mull80 If you want you can try the default.cfg from my guide here, it should have the d-pad working. If it still doesn't work, you might need to try the other d-pad mode (select+up for 10 seconds). https://sinisterspatula.github.io/RetroflagGpiGuides/OpenborBeta6510

@SinisterSpatula
thanks for the suggestion. it did not work unfortunately. seems to be a problem with the circuit sword. the open bot build recognizes all buttons except the dpad. it does however register the dpad in the setup menu in rescue-palooza. i will try a different game later on and see what happens.

SinisterSpatula

@mull80 sorry I totally missed that this wasn't a GPi, it looked so much like one :D I'm jealous of your battery meter! haha

mull80

@SinisterSpatula no worries. I actually sold the circuit sword this week. I regret it already so I will probably build another soon. thanks to the help I received on here I have rescue palooza running perfect on my nespi case with rpi 3b+ so there was some good that came out of it. thanks to everyone for the assistance.

I've added and compiled OpenBOR6xxx to my RP setup (3400 does not seem to compile), but running it only results in seeing this:

NO MODS IN PAKS FOLDER

I've tried placing the paks in the folders specified in the documentation, both packed and unpacked, yet nothing seems to change anything...

cyperghost

@MarionCobretti Is ther a symlink next to Openbor binary pointing to $HOME/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor?

If yes then place PAK files there.

MarionCobretti

Thanks, that did it, turned out that directory only had the unpacked PAKs inside.

Some oddities I've noticed when checking OpenBOR 6xxx (Pi 3b, RP 4.5.1, Raspbian 4.19):

its main window takes up a tiny portion of the monitor's screen, about 1/16, hovering in the left bottom corner. Regular OpenBOR fills up the screen - I guess it's a question of a setting to be defined in a configuration file.
I have quite a few paks, and when I scroll down the list with the cursors in 6xxx, the moment I push the cursor down on the last visible game title, trying to jump to the next one that's below, 6xxx freezes and exits to EmuStation. The regular OpenBOR scrolls between titles correctly. (The last visible pak in 6xxx in my case is "Nightmare on Ed Street", the next one should be "POW 2010").
after 6xxx freezes and exits, and then I exit EmuStation to the terminal, the Pi sometimes seems to freeze completely as soon as the command prompt appears - the cursor is not moving, and it does not react to keyboard input, I have to turn it off.

cyperghost

@MarionCobretti Usually the OpenBOR files are loaded via command-line.
Like
/opt/retropie/ports/OpenBOR "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor/My OpenBOR module.pak"

@cyperghost Hi, please help me with this problem. I also don't see the installation installation in EXP for openbur. The .sh are in the directory they should be, I add the capture. On the other hand, use the command line that you indicate to update the script but I cannot visualize openbur any of its versions .... since thanks!

PS: sorry for the grammar, the translator is crap !! hehe

Hello there. I know I'm super late to this, but I need help with the installation of the latest build of OpenBOR possible. I downloaded 6xxx from the experimental files, and my game Ultimate Double Dragon does work but it doesn't display some stuff correclty and I think it has to do with the version that is running the game (mostly custom hitflashes for certain attacks, like extra hard hits, blood, etc), among other stuff.

I have seen that i can get updated kind of easy by compiling onself, but there are so many instructions here and there in this topic and I got this error with openbet:

error while loading shared libraries: libupx.so.1: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory

so before asking about the errors from what I am doind to update it, can you guide me through the definitive process starting from zero? I'm on a Pi3b+ by the way.

Thanks in advance!

I'm kinda shocked OpenBOR isn't more embraced by Retropie as perhaps a pre-installed System with its own menu and Metadata etc, all users would have to do is add .paks. OpenBOR is amazing, I play it on PC where it's easy to install and access.
