Suggestions for ports

PLZ make it work <3 :)))

@shavecat No it needs more to get it working. You would need to know how to compile and build from the source files into a working binary that you can use to run the game from.

I might try it soon but right now i'm in the middle of getting ECWolf to work so that we can run Wolfenstein 3D with mods.

that would be cool to run wolf mods.....did not know that anyone made ones for wolf. lol.
im so out of the loop

Alright so i managed to get ECWolf development version to build and it runs great on my testing image. I have now built a scriptmodule and released it to the RetroPie community. It is noted that it has been created only for testing purpose and therefore it is not a final release like my other scriptmodules.

Good news is that I have already tried running ECWolf with a mod and it runs perfect. No issues experienced so far.

@Efriim About Flare. I think i saw somewhere that this french guy managed to get it to work on a Raspberry Pi 3b. It was on this website: http://framboisepi.fr/

Edit: Ah yes. Here it is: http://framboisepi.fr/?s=flare It is in french languagem but with a little google translate magic. No problem :-)

I'm not sure about getting java developed games to work on a RPI. I have never tried it. Java development is not one of those that i am familiar with.

Maybe some other people here have some experience that they can share upon. :-)

Hi,
I have some suggestions, some of which I managed to get to run decently:

Nuvie (for Ultima 6)
Exult (for Ultima 7 and Serpent Isle)
Pentagram (for Ultima 8)
DevilutionX (for Diablo) and
Schockolate (for System Shock)

Exult and Shockolate are a little on the slow side and needed some extra attention in the source code... not by me, mind you ;)
I'd really like to get nblood (for Blood) to run, but it doesn't compile with USE_OPENGL=0.

Anyways! Keep up the excellent work!

tpo1990

@ecto That is some good choices you have found there for ports. How well does DevilutionX(Diablo) perform and what RPI model?

I dont't think that nblood or any other Blood source port will work on a RPI due to lack of interest and development. Maybe you could alter eduke and get it to load Blood but that would require a lot of work and even after that, it might not work completely as you want it to.
