Streets of Rage Remake (latest retropie 2019)

@Solid-One Thanks for reminding me of this! I actually commented in that thread but forgot to check back for a solution. The solution in that thread while not elegant did work for me.

Edit: Im now also using this method to force 640x480 mode for dosbox, which means I can get much better performance now :)

Hi. I will likely update the installation script to use bgdi-333 and maybe implement the automatic switch to 640x480 through onend and onstart as mentioned above. I'm just weary of potentially causing problems for those who can't use that resolution (if there's anyone out there that has that problem).

@zerojay hey man good to see you around these parts again. I have found a better way to get the game fullscreen instead of forcing 640x480 through the start/end scripts. If you run the game through an x session the game will scale properly without any extra fiddling. You just need to add XINIT: to the beginning of the launch script. You'll also need to add xorg as a dependency. Note that this is only needed for the pi 4. Sorr still works correctly on older pi models.

@quicksilver Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about forcing xorg as a (very large) dependency. I'll have to give it a try first.

Can you show me exactly what the script should look like as it didn't seem to work for me as you describe.

@zerojay here is the first line in my emulators.cfg for sorr

sorr = "XINIT:pushd /opt/retropie/ports/sorr; ./bgdi-333 ./SorR.dat; popd"

I thought xorg was the only dependency needed to make XINIT work but I may be mistaken. I have not noticed any performance issues on the pi 4 from running sorr this way.

Unfortunately appears to fail to start and I don't see an Xorg.log file that I can find the issue in.

@zerojay Ill boot up my test image and see if I can figure out the full dependencies needed and report back.

I've added this as a dependency for the sorr script so it shouldn't need to be done any longer. Thanks.

Also switched to the 333 version of the bennugd interpreter.

Hi all, Streets of Rage Remake v5.2 has been released.

v5.2

Would be great to get this on the Pi, not sure what is involved to do so.

ExarKunIv

@charco i think if there is a build from source ability then i think it might be able to be done

Rion

Link doesn't work. Here is a working one for 5.2.

There is approximately 300 additional bugfixes, tweaks, gameplay improvements, and new features over the original v5.1 release.

From the README:
"- If you have VSync or frame pacing issues find system.txt (mod/system.txt) and set BORDERLESS_SYNC (not always works, Windows composition or Desktop VSync must be enabled)"

Apperently this works for linux to.

Maybe @zerojay can have a look at this?

Charco

@rion the link does work. I've uploaded in to Mega, it's in that thread.

Then it's more likely my adblocker on my router that's acting up.

@rion Street Of Rage 5.2 for Linux

Hello people.

Just came here, after a long time, to tell you guys that a new SORR version was released (as mentioned by @rion).

I haven't tested it on RetroPie, but I've ran it on Windows to see the new features. Looks like it works just like previous versions.

About the new features, there's some of them that may be really useful for RetroPie users like us, which uses it only with a controller:

Full 16:9 widescreen support for the main game and for Sormaker mods
15 New tracks (both remixes and original) from BGM1401
New scenes added and graphics updated throughout the game
All new intro and updated graphics for endings, main menu, and shop
AI has been hugely improved, providing a better challenge and better balance
Achievements added
Overhauled menu layout with submenus and all new options
Choice of Remixed or Retro OST

I marked in bold the interesting features for us.

The first one says that SORR now runs in HD resolution (1280x720), so RetroPie 4 users probably won't need to use runcommand instructions to reduce / revert resolution when running SORR (or at least they'll be able to increase the original resolution).

The second one contains some new interesting menus, but the best one I could think is: "Exit Game". I guess that now we can exit game directly from a controller, instead of plugging a keyboard just to press ESC, or force shutdown the device.

Anyway, that's it. You can find more info here:

SORR 5.2 work great in retropie 5.7.2 on my raspberry pi 3 b+.

Hello i edit my message i follow a video on youtube, and i install it. but when i'm launch the street of rage.sh on roms/ports ( by es menu ), it's seem start launching, but i 've an error and its' back to menu

My error is :

"ERROR/ galsi a.pal not found"

anyone have an idea ?

@wsamael Hi mate, did you get this sorted? I had the same problem this evening.

@system187 posted a solution earlier in this thread (cheers mate!) which involves creating a new savefile on your PC and copying it over to your rpi :

Launch SorR.exe on your PC.

A savegame folder will be generated containing savegame.sor (I think I changed a random graphics option in the config, not sure if this was required to generate the save file or if it’s automatically generated when you launch the game) .

Copy the savegame.sor from your PC to /opt/retropie/configs/ports/sorr on your rpi.

That should sort it.

I did the above with a SoRR 5.1 savefile. I've just updated to 5.2 and left the same savefile in place and it's still working.

Just had a quick play with 5.2. The exit button is a nice improvement, no need to plug in a keyboard to get back to ES anymore.

I tried a few video modes with the widescreen option enabled but they all ran pretty sluggish on my 3b+ so I've reverted to normal for the time being. Plus it looks like you can't enable the scanlines filter in w/s mode.
