        I have 2 badlands roms in my roms folder :-

        badlandsp.zip (9kb)
        bl_hit_12f.bin
        bl_hit_4f.bin
        bl_hit_6a.bin
        bl_hit_7a.bin
        bl_hit_7c.bin
        bl_hit_9c.bin

        badlands.zip (13kb)
        badlands.a13
        badlands.a14
        badlands.c4
        badlands.c8

        badlands.daphne
        badlands-pc.dat
        badlands-pc.m2v
        badlands-pc.ogg

        Hope that helps

        Both badlands.zip and badlandp.zip ROMS work with daphne in linux.

        Doing a quick compile on the Pi I still see the:

        Write to ffff with 0

        issues on both ROMS. So there is still an issue here.....

          -bash: directory: No such file or directory

          You need to replace this: <directory with libsinge.so and libvldp2.so>

          With the directory name/path where those files are...

          e.g.

          export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/pi/singe:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

            @DirtBagXon Did you compile with the -fsigned-char changes added yesterday, and it still failed?

            @skj was the game working for you prior to these changes yesterday?

            EDIT: actually @DirtBagXon I forgot, but thank you for accepting the PR for the controls!

                    I didn't, good catch, just recompiled and both ROMS run - bingo.

                    Seems to be a Pi caveat:

                          Try this as user pi:

                          cd /home/pi/singe

mkdir -p /home/pi/.daphne/singe /home/pi/.daphne/sound /home/pi/.daphne/pics

                            You are running the daphne.bin binary instead of singe.bin and trying to run a singe game.

                            Also:

                            ../singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt

                            Wait, doesn't the RetroPie daphne have singe support in it, like the DavidGriffiths one? I use the DG version, and my command line is

                              so i did all of that

Bad command line or initialization problem (see daphne_log.txt for details).
To run SINGE, you must specify which script to run.

e.g. singe myscript.singe

                              cant i run it with .sh file from the es?

                              and how do i switch daphne.bin to singe.bin ?

                                I thought the RetroPie version didn't have the Singe library, otherwise this thread wouldn't have been created ?

                                The DavidGriffith repo indeed does, as I got singe working and pushed it back to David. It is however an older version of singe.

                                The version above is a standalone version of Singe.

                                @shavecat - Seems a little unfamiliar with this so was trying to get the standalone version working....

                                    I'm guessing on your filenames and locations, so you need to fill in the blanks ;)

                                        The DavidGriffith repo indeed does, as I got singe working . It is however an older version of singe.

                                        The version above is a standalone version of Singe.

                                        @shavecat - Seems a little unfamiliar with this so was trying to get the standalone version working....

                                        Which daphne/singe versions is yours? Mine says

                                        --DAPHNE version 1.0.13.1
Starting Singe version 1.14

                                        tho i manually added pjft's changes...

                                            So now it is not finding the daphne pics directory, let's see if you have it elsewhere:

                                            find / -name gamenowook.bmp
