      @notthesame yes it does work on retropie as i said the emu depending on the game ranges from okish playable fps to too slow like the daytona games , only the legacy renders works , the new will give you broken triangles like in your old screeen shot, the emu needs X that's why is started with xinit

        @myzar ok , let's see what we can do, but add tweaks to see if it speeds up, but that's all I can do for now, not sure how to modify stuff like using x, etc ... I'm running under opengl so I don't think I can run it. But I'll try my other retropie image that is using legacy.

          @notthesame it needs openGL, that's why you have to run it using an x session or desktop.

            @notthesame sorry i meant the legacy 3d engine in the emu itself , it has two engines you need to force -legacy3d in the command line, about the rpi4 video driver is the normal vc4-fkms-v3d over X

                This was compiled on an RPi4 given the instructions in this thread. Get Bass was able to come up and play but there's major graphics issues with it.

                  Edit:

                  Solved my own issues!

                  For me this was showing in a tiny window and wasn't registering any of the controls. To solve it I set the resolution to 640 x 480 in runcommand and have this in the emulators file:

                  supermodel = "XINIT:/opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/supermodel -game-xml-file=/opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/Config/Games.xml -legacy3d -sound-volume=50 -music-volume=60 -no-vsync -no-throttle -no-dsb -res=496,384 %ROM%"
                  default = "supermodel"
                  

                  Though by default it looks in <bin folder>/Config, for me it was looking in <my user folder>/Config for its ini file. I moved the ini into a folder there and it was good to go (guess a sym link would have solved this too?)

                          @mechafatnick hi there, have followed your instructions but games do not work, please confirm I have correct folder structure for .ini

                          a0112d19-77e6-48c2-8c73-836dc0eef891-image.png

                          here is new line added to arcade emulator text file:

                          1f097bd2-3da2-440b-ab8f-3da4b3a33091-image.png

                          here is emulator itself:

                          maybe its the ROMs ? should i check their contents with the Games XML file ?

                            It loads with this:

                            pi@retropie:~ $ chmod 755 -R /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin
                            pi@retropie:~ $ chmod 755 -R /home/pi/Config
                            

                            But I have a message: cancelled - Network board not present, for some games (like Daytona2) but I found this https://www.supermodel3.com/FAQ.html#NetworkBoardError.

                            Spikeout run well. It runs at full speed on my Pi4. It's impressive. I have set my controller buttons, but I don't know how to exit the emulator with my gamepad yet. thanks @Myzar for this thread.

                              @dteam thanks , i changed those permissions but still no luck, checking error log gives:

                              /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh line 1259: xinit: command not found

                              I tried sudo apt get install xorg, which installed about 97% of the items but threw an error for the last package, and sudo apt get install xinit, which threw an error right away & didnt install anything ....

                              tried to load a Supermodel game again & same error in log : xinit: command not found

                                I don't know that much about Xinit. Probably @mitu know what to do.

                                I’ll take a look on that today.

                                  xinit is in the xinit package, but installing xorg should install xinit as a dependency.

                                  /dev/shm/retropie_xinitrc: line 6: /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/supermodel: Permission denied

                                  This looks like the file is not executable by the running user. Check that the executable bit is set on the file with ls -l /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin/supermodel.

                                    Finally, we don't need /home/pi/Config folder You need It . It's just a permission problem. It's a good emulator and It runs well on Pi4. I'm trying to found a way to exit it without a keyboard.I haven't found anything yet.

                                      I confirm, It was the problem , In my new edit above, I have use .

                                      pi@retropie:~ $ chmod 755 -R /opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel/bin
                                      

                                      To fix that.

                                            The official source is here https://www.supermodel3.com/Download.html

                                            They give the source code "Supermodel Version 0.2a source code" . You have the readme.txt file with informations about the emulator.

                                            They talk about gamepads setup (we can't modify the Esc button... for now) and they give the game compatibility matrix.
