OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase
-
@julenvitoria said in OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase:
One of them is Asterix and Caesar’s Challenge :)
That's my default game for setting up controllers. All the controls are laid out simple. (Some games label buttons as block, throw ect vs just attack 1, attack 2, special)
@construkt glad the resolution was an easy fix. I didn't know Pi4 OpenBOR did that until yesterday.
-
@BiZzAr721 Yeah luckily I had noticed it a few days ago when I was poking through all the options in games setting controller configs.
The new version of OpenBOR does work better. I like that when I set up a controller in the game and set it as defaults, it doesn't ruin the keyboard controls... and of course I can launch right into games. It's nice actually being able to scrape games too. I couldn't get Skyscraper to work but Skraper works fine with .pak files.
Now I just wonder if there is a way to map controls in such a way that I can set up a kill switch to exit games immediately like you can in emulators with retroarch support.

I ran the command:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta/master/scriptmodules/openbor-6xxx-RPi3/openbor-v6510-RPi3.sh -O- | tr -d '\r' > /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx-4rpi3.shI see ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx-4rpi3.sh exists, but when I run retropie_setup.sh I don't see this listed in the experimental packages. I'm running RetroPie 4.6 on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Is there something I'm missing to make the script show up?
I also see I have ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor.sh, but this also does not show up in the experimental packages.

I've disabled it for x86
rp_module_flags="!mali !x11 !kms"This version of OpenBOR is made for ARM. If you are on X86 it should be easy to get a version ;)
-
I've compiled and used OpenBOR 6xxx for over a year, without any issues, but for about two weeks now - maybe three - trying to compile it has only been giving this message:
-
@cyperghost Easy to get it built into Retropie like this version is?
I'm just wondering because I'm about to switch to an x86 setup. Are there scripts around that I can run the same way I installed 6510?

@BazzCatt
For newest branch 6510 for RPi 4:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta/master/scriptmodules/openbor-6xxx-RPi4/openbor-v6510-RPi4.sh -O- | tr -d '\r' > /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-v6510-RPi4.shFor newest branch 6510 for RPi 3/3B+:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/OpenBOR-63xx-RetroPie-openbeta/master/scriptmodules/openbor-6xxx-RPi3/openbor-v6510-RPi3.sh -O- | tr -d '\r' > /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-v6510-RPi3.sh -
@construkt Yes it's more easy because the make parameter is just linux.
I don't know if Linux versions use the SDL part - here is the patch located that loads the additional files from command line! Try it out. If you manage to get a running version the rest as easy to setup. -
Hi Everyone
I've installed 6510 on my Pi4 (based on raspbian, not ufficially Retropie)
I've copied one pak file (He-Man) on ports/openbor folder
The emulator close itself and return to selection when i open beats of rage... and module sele....
Why?
Best regards -
I've notice that the error is
"failed to add service, already in use?" -
@roslof i ve your error
What do you mean with active directory? -
@construkt you may be aware that the executable is in /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx, but you may want the active directory to be different so Paks, Saves, Screenshots, etc. can exist in a different location.
For me personally (and it's not standard) I've since moved/symlinked Paks, Saves, Screenshots & Logs directories in /opt/retropie/configs/openbor. Yours might be different.
But for me, with my change, I needed to update /opt/retropie/configs/emulators.cfg (adding pushd and popd) to match my directory location:
openbor-6xxx = "pushd /opt/retropie/configs/openbor; /opt/retropie/ports/openbor-6xxx/OpenBOR %ROM%; popd"So when you launch a rom from EmulationStation, it will launch OpenBOR correctly, but reference my configs/openbor directory to get the Paks and such...
FWIW (and again, this is not standard) my directory structure that works with my emulators.cfg contents:
/opt/retropie/configs/openbor
emulators.cfg
launching.png
/Logs --> /dev/shm (symlinked)
/Paks --> /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/openbor/ (symlinked)
/Saves
/Screenshots -
@roslof Thanks a lot! the games starts
One problem... they don't save nothing, when i change resolution it returns as default next time i reload the game
same thing for controls
It doesn't generate default.cfg
Thanks again -
@cristiano1987 Check directory permissions/ownership, especially for the /Saves directory. Mine is owned by "pi" and set as drwxr-xr-x (or 755).
-
Thanks a lot @roslof , you're great!
It was a problem with user and group, correct user and group is pi
I've added a lot of titles without issues
Thanks again!!! -
I'm confused why are you including that bad libgl on rpi4 , that uses gles which doesn't work unless you force dispmanx , deleting that the compiled bin works fine using the normal rpi4 desktop gl

I'm sorry, I'm terrible with this stuff.
I just installed Retropie on Ubuntu 18.04. I am a complete novice when it comes to literally anything Linux. I have absolutely zero understanding of how to install anything unless I'm handed a script and told where to put it or what to copy/paste into the terminal. From doing that a lot, I'm starting to learn some stuff, but it's really slow going for me, haha.
So, I have Retropie working on the Intel NUC and everything runs great (except for some things like being able to see the desktop whenever I try to play a game but thats a different issue). I don't however, have any idea of how to get OpenBor installed. I copied over my es_systems.cfg and all the rom folders from my Pi, so that is all set up and ready to roll. I just don't know how to get OpenBOR installed and into Retropie.
Is there a wget command I can use to install OpenBOR 6510 in Retropie for x86 so it shows up in the Retropie setup like it did on my RPi4?
-
Sorry were you trying to link something? I don't see what patch you're referring to. I can't seem to find a script that adds this version of OpenBOR to RetroPie anywhere. I saw someone posted a script with a really, really old version, but nothing recent.
I also don't really understand how to install stuff from github. What commands should I put in the terminal to get OpenBOR installed? It works really well on my Pi, but I'm trying to get it on Ubuntu 18.04 x86 64bit
