Streets of Rage Remake (latest retropie 2019)

[TOTO1992]

@boolean
It's works.
Thanks

It's me or SOR Remake is more slower on retropie than on PC?

Hi, I installed this port via zerojay's scripts and instructions of this thread. I'm playing on CRT TV and the game runs fine but the image is a bit displaced, so I can't see the healthbar of the player character. I was wondering if there is a way to fix vertical and horizontal position with runcommand parameters to make that healthbar watchable on screen. Any ideas? Thanks.

@garunesu What's the resolution of your display?

[Garunesu]

@quicksilver It's a CRT TV with a rgbpi GPIO to SCART cable, and the resolution seems to be 240p. Inside the game, in Options>Video, graphic modes available are "2x normal", "2x scale" and "scanlines"; all of them looking the same resolution but "scanlines" is darker. The "display" option is locked to "full screen" and "vsync" option is locked to "no". When "widescreen mode" is switched to "yes" (shrunk image as the CRT TV is 4:3), then "display" option is locked to "window" and graphic modes available are "normal", "2x normal" and "3x normal", all of them looking the same.

The DAT file, btw, is from SorR version 5.2 rev550.

@garunesu hmm I'm not entirely sure then. The issue must be specific to your hardware setup.

I found this topic by chance, as i have been mentioned as Butcher ... its a bit old topic but maybe this is still useful

https://github.com/saulbustos/bennugd-rpi/blob/main/bin/rpi/bgdi-354

This is latests version r354 of bgdi runtime for the raspberrypi . This version is compiled and tested on rpi1 B+ as is the only raspberry i have. If rpi4 arch is different it might not work and should be recompiled. I cannot compile it on rpi4 as i dont have one

if you have problems compiling in any rpi, please remove all the references to DES_ecb_encrypt in b_crypt.c and b_crypt.h as is not supported by rpi, and install all the required libs (there's a list in bennugd.org forum)

Then run

./build-static.sh release

Let me know if there's some issues

Regards

@butcher tested bgdi-354 on a zero 2 w, it works but with XINIT work around it's laggy as hell. Any solution to that?

[quicksilver]

@utamaru What is your screen resolution?

@quicksilver hi there, I'm not the original commentor you were asking but I just installed SORRv52_rev550 on my RetroPi 4.7.21 - everything is fine except the resolution (I'm playing on a CRT) - I currently have video set to widescreen mode = no in Video Options, any idea how to fit the image properly to my screen?

[quicksilver]

@axel I'm not really familiar with running RetroPie using a crt. Can you change the video mode in the runcommand menu when you first launch the game?

[AXEL]

@quicksilver changing video modes in the runcommand menu did not help, unfortunately.

note I ended up disabling overscan in the boot config and that addressed the issue I was having. It broke some other overscan settings but it was a matter of fine tuning the values again to get it back normal.

Interesting now my video screensaver aren't working properly anymore - messing around in the video screensaver settings I need to disable Show Game Info On Screensaver for videos to even play. But even then, random videos would have black bars in them. Looks like updating to 4.7.21 is the issue with video screensavers not properly working.

I've put a guide up here for SORR 5.2 and RetroPie 4.7.x - although this is with a Pi 3.
I'll do another one when I get a Pi4.
