IGA and I got sidetracked on the Streets of Rage Remake (latest retropie 2019) topic. Would it be possible for an admin to move our discussion over here?

@boolean I done it ( I've delete old 3016, then install new 6510 ). But it not appears in ports menu or anywhere else in emustation.
And I don't understand what's going on.... -
or to new openbor needs extracted folders, not files.pac?
-
OOOhhhh....
Now i see
I've got it! - with new version o openbor we need create separate folder openbor in rom directories. Not in folder ports as it was before.....- it is important information!
-
@boolean STOP!
-
IT'S STILL NOT WORK!!! even on the new version 6510!
-
we still can't enter in levels swamp\beach\van\park\rooftop as i've said before.... (v1.1.1)
:-(

@mitu ok,
sorry.... if what... -
And why after installing openbor 6510 we've got folders Pack, Screenshots, Saves, Logs in /home/pi/ folder? - not in openbor's folder
-
@iga Those are created by the game engine itself. If you delete them, they'll automatically be recreated when you launch OpenBOR. I've deleted those folders and replaced them for symbolic links, which point to the preferred locations.

@boolean I've moved the posts here.
Thanks!

@cyperghost (crcerror) has made a fork of tree 'https://github.com/DCurrent/openbor/tree/d6938eea5f22c91eea28294190fd0e1aa60daca4' in which he could make the required modifications. If this isn't feasible for whatever reason, another solution would be extending zerojay's script to modify the source code after the project has been cloned from git, before starting the build process.

@boolean How to cteate symbolic links to replace it to current folder?

@boolean I used symlinks in my initial script module. I do not know what @zerojay is doing.
There are indeed symlinks, but not at the desired location, which is '/home/pi'. I don't know why/if zerojay has changed this. Currently these are the only links created by the scipt:
pi@retropie:/opt/retropie/emulators/openbor $ ls -lh total 5.6M -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4.4M Jan 31 17:50 libGL.so.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Jan 31 17:50 Logs -> /dev/shm -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.2M Jan 31 17:50 OpenBOR lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Jan 31 21:24 Paks -> /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/openbor -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 60 Jan 31 17:50 retropie.pkg lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Jan 31 17:50 Saves -> /opt/retropie/configs/openbor/Saves lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jan 31 17:50 ScreenShots -> /opt/retropie/configs/openbor/ScreenShots@iga said in OpenBOR 6xxx OpenBeta Testphase:

Just delete the directories 'ScreenShots, Saves, Paks' and 'Logs' from '/home/pi' and run these commands:
ln -s /opt/retropie/configs/openbor/ScreenShots /home/pi/ScreenShots ln -s /opt/retropie/configs/openbor/Saves /home/pi/Saves ln -s /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/openbor /home/pi/Paks ln -s /dev/shm /home/pi/Logs -
@boolean Thanks!
now apparently we should expect a new version of openbor to totally play rescue-palooza... -
After a lot of cursing and patience I finally was able to install the latest OpenBOR 6510.
I'm in the final stages of the process but just can't to seem to get it running. I got all updated files installed, modified my es_systems.cfg, placed some test pak files in my roms/openbor. But when I try to run it via ES it just kicks me back to ES.
When I look into the runcommand I don't see any specific errors. Does anyone see what I'm doing wrong? I also saw a strange file in my shm directory called mono.503 with owner www-data (33)??? I can't open it...
Thanks for the help and pointers where to look.

Hey folks,
I posted this in Help and Support, but did not get any responses and thought folks here may have a better idea. Any suggestions?

RetroPie 4.7.1
Raspberry Pi 4.0

Vilros Power Supply

Vilros Keyboard & MouseI'm having difficulties running OpenBOR. I have set up ports and games in there work fine. I installed OpenBOR from source, put a .pak file in the openbor directory in /roms/ports/openbor, and then ran the extract.sh file, with this output:
pi@RetroPi:/opt/retropie/ports/openbor $ extract.sh -bash: extract.sh: command not found pi@RetroPi:/opt/retropie/ports/openbor $ bash extract.sh mv: cannot stat '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor/*.pak': No such file or directory mv: cannot stat 'data/': No such file or directory Your games are extracted and ready to be played. Your originals are stored safely in /original/ but they won't be needed anymore. Everything within it can be deleted. pi@RetroPi:/opt/retropie/ports/openbor $I restarted emulation station and when I select OpenBor Beats of Rage Engine, the OpenBor menu opens. I see my .pak but when I open it, the system quits back to emulation station.

@senseless Hi mate, I had probs too as the 6510 instructions in the first post are missing a few keys steps.
You shouldn’t need to update the es_systems.cfg manually if the script runs successfully (tried that myself while trying to get it working :) )Have a look at this post which covers the extra steps:https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/248619
Edit: I’m talking shizzle, I meant you don’t have to manually add the system, which is something I tried while trying to get it working ... you do still have to edit the es_systems.cfg to tweak the OpenBOR entry that the install script adds.

@daviddraper Hi mate, the 6510 script installs OpenBOR as a system rather than a port and you don’t don’t need to muck about extracting games as it runs the .paks. Worth considering trying that version but, as per my previous post, the instructions are missing a couple of steps.

Howdy folks. I have been going over things here and it looks like I am about where IGA was in the beginning of February. I had been trying to get OpenBOR running on the from the OpenBOR script that was included in RetroPie-Extra. I uninstalled that version of OpenBOR, replaced the OpenBOR.sh script in my system for the v6510 version linked in boolean's 2/2/21 comment, and ran the script.
When it is done running, all the same folders come back; the openbor director is located back in ports, there are no folders new folders in /home/pi/RetroPi/, there is no openbor directory in rooms, etc. It basically looks like I reinstalled the older version of OpenBOR. Any suggestions beyond uninstalling the system are reinstalling it? I have done this about 4 times now and even with the new script, the install seems to act like the old version. Thanks in advance.
David
