Streets of Rage Remake (latest retropie 2019)

Solid One

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:

@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.

I wonder if a Pi4 would be any better for this game in 16:9. Anyone know?

No I've not solve this problem, i've no idea where to look for. Did you try with sorr 5.3 or older version?

agboju_logun

Hi @wsamael, I'm on 5.2 (didn't realise there was a 5.3). Have you tried the save file solution in my previous post?

Works perfect on Pi 400. However, the only way to get full screen is to set the pie to 1280x720 / 720p resolution.

Will SoRR work in OpenBOR as a new .pak file and fit in with the rest of my OpenBOR "roms" list? Would be nice to get SoRR out of Ports.

@zerojay sorry it took me so long to get back to you

I tested with a stock build of retropie. Youll need as dependencies:

xorg xserver-xorg-input-all

Then modify the emulators.cfg as so:

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

If you are using the roms directory and not opt anymore, make sure to modify the above line to point to the correct directory.

This will give you Sorr fullscreen (you may need to set the video mode in-game to 2x for there to be no black borders)

I tried your solution but it doesn't work for me. Can you explain every steps with screenshots please?

boolean

@quicksilver I've tried your solution, but unfortunately it isn't working for me. I've installed all dependencies:

pi@retropie:~ $ sudo apt-get install -y xinit xorg xserver-xorg-input-all
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
xinit is already the newest version (1.4.0-1).
xorg is already the newest version (1:7.7+19+b8).
xserver-xorg-input-all is already the newest version (1:7.7+19+b8).
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
  libmicrodns0 rpi-eeprom-images
Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 47 not upgraded.
pi@retropie:~ $

When I run 'Streets of Rage Remake.sh' it just kicks me back to ES, without generating any useful logging. These are the contents of the shell script(s):

#!/bin/bash
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh" 0 _PORT_ "sorr" ""

And I've altered 'emulators.cfg' as you described:

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

Am I missing something here? I'm running the latest RetroPie on a RPi4.

NEVERMIND: I just did a full update (including all packages) and that somehow solved the issue! :) I'll leave this here, since updating might help people with the same issue as well.

Working on Retropie Latest Version (4.6) on a RPi3b+.

The procedure is:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git
cd RetroPie-Extra/
./install-extras.sh
run Retropie-Setup script
select the experimental packages and install the Streets of Rage Remake Port

After that I've downloaded the SORR 5.1 from a torrent seed and copied the file SorR.dat to /opt/retropie/ports/sorr

Also copied the folders below to the same location (/opt/retropie/ports/sorr):

manual

mod

palettes

Then you run the game by the PORTS selection in EmulationStation choosing the game STREETS OF RAGE REMAKE.

Please help.
I do all the same but after launch, game not started and I've get back to ports menu of emulationstation.
SorR version:5.2 ( all files and folders place to roms\port\sorr folder)
Retripie version:4.7.3
I use Pi4 via composite cable, so my default ressolution is 720x480 - maybe it's a reason why game not started? изображение_2021-01-30_201553.png

@iga iga did you have the previous version of SORR working? If so all you need to do is replace the sorr.dat file and the mod and pallets folders.

boolean

@iga Have you installed it using the shell script provided by zerojay? Then make sure the roms directory reflects this structure:

And the configs directory should contain this:

/opt/retropie/configs/ports/sorr/
├── emulators.cfg
├── savegame.sor
├── savestate.sor
└── trophies.sor

0 directories, 4 files

Have you been able to verify the correct placement of the files?

No. I just do :
git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git
cd RetroPie-Extra/
./install-extras.sh
run Retropie-Setup script
, then I've found there SorR install. But after install it just only appear "sorr" in ports menu and empty folder in roms\ports\sorr where i put downloaded from pc files

boolean

@iga I don't see "SorR.dat" in your screenshot. Are you sure it's there?

IGA

@boolean
Right!
I don't have savestate.sor file in /opt/retropie/configs/ports/sorr/ folder. And savegame.sor and trophies.sor files i've took from PC and placed there...

but i don't think that is problem....

Other structure are the same:

IGA

@boolean SorR.dat is there - 312 590 KB

IGA

@boolean
ouuuuh....
i don't know what i do, but now it's start))

Anyway, Thanks alot!

and I want to suggest maybe the final manual-method should be placed somewhere in the topic header? and be sure to specify there that you do not need to take the entire SAVE folder from the PC, but only the files from it....
