      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.....

        hey im getting
        pi@retropie:~ $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<directory with libsinge.so and libvldp2.so>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
        -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:

                          --Command line is: /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin maddog vldp -nohwaccel -framefile /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog.sh/maddog.txt -homedir /opt/retropi$

                          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

                          /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin singe vldp -framefile /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/timegal.singe/timegal.txt -script /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/timegal.singe/timegal.singe -x 1360 -y 768

                            so i did all of that
                            now im getting this on my command -

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 ;)

                                          got it but now i have that

                                          /home/pi/singe/singe.bin /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.singe -framefile /media/usb0/roms/daphne/singe/maddog/maddog.txt -homedir /home/pi/.daphne -datadir /media/usb0/roms/daphne -x 800 -y 600

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

                                          find / -name gamenowook.bmp
