Don't worry about that, you gave that dir as an argument

[shavecat]

@DirtBagXon
ahh so wait !
maybe its working...
nevermind
same error
maybe tmrw ;)
thanks a lot for your time ! <3

[DirtBagXon]

@shavecat

cp -R /home/pi/.daphne/pics  /media/usb0/roms/daphne/ 
cp -R /home/pi/.daphne/sound  /media/usb0/roms/daphne/

@DirtBagXon
trying
SO im getting the daphne emulator finally !

but with SINGE GOT AN ERROR =(
could not open the VLP2 dynamic library (file not found maybe ? )

Progress ! :)

[gomisensei]

@shavecat if the directory you're typing your command line in is /opt/retropie/emulators/singe, then cp the files to /opt/retropie/emulators/singe. libsinge.so and libvldp2.so should also be in the same dir as singe.bin

[shavecat]

@gomisensei
i try that thanks
but i dont have a directory there of singe so i add it

still didnt help :\

@shavecat

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

@DirtBagXon

pi@retropie:~/singe $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/pi/singe:

pi@retropie:~/singe $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/pi/singe:

Ok and the libraries are still in /home/pi/singe ?

ls -al /home/pi/singe/*.so

LD_LIBRARY_PATH should be fixing this, is there some other facility in RetroPi that will load a library path ?

Besides copying them into /usr/local/lib and ldconfig - lol ?

[shavecat]

@DirtBagXon
yeha

pi@retropie:~ $ ls -al /home/pi/singe/*.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 329360 Oct 13 12:05 /home/pi/singe/libsinge.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi  93920 Oct 13 12:05 /home/pi/singe/libvldp2.so

not that i know about.

[gomisensei]

@shavecat try changing the -homedir to -homedir /home/pi/singe instead of -homedir /home/pi/.daphne

[shavecat]

@gomisensei
didnt get it sorry
i have a .daphne folder and a snige folder allready
in my home/pi folder

[gomisensei]

i know i finally got mine working only by putting everything (or a link to everything) in the /retropie/emulators/singe dir, including the pics/ and /sound the *.so files, and links to the romdir and datadir, and the .bin file, then removing the -homedir and -datadir switches in the command line,

[shavecat]

@gomisensei
tried copy all of them ..
didnt work
thanks :)
will try tmrw

The game is looking for directories like pics and sound in ~./daphne

After installation, the .daphne/pics folder only contains a single file: singeme.bmp

The singeme.bmp file and all of the other required graphics will be found in another pics folder wherever you installed singe (eg. ~/singe or /opt/retropie/emulators/singe). So we can backup (or delete) the single-file directory in ~/.daphne and symlink to the directory with all of the files:

IF INSTALLED TO ~/singe/:

mv ~/.daphne/pics ~/.daphne/pics_original
ln -s ~/singe/pics/ ~/.daphne/pics

IF INSTALLED TO /opt/retropie/emulators/singe/:

mv ~/.daphne/pics ~/.daphne/pics_original
ln -s /opt/retropie/emulators/singe/pics/ ~/.daphne/pics

This should solve the problem
