Dialed with that for an hour now ...
like u said
at the end it worked ! right !
but at the menu at Commandos 1 it got forzen...
hope next time i try it will work :)Glad you have something working now.
Like @mth75 said, there must be something wrong in your scripts, or you have them in the wrong locations. Look at the filenames also. -
@folly
yeha its working!!!
Thanks a lot !!
Can anyone else try
ONI
to work ? :) -
Hi all,
I wanted to make some port scripts.
Just to learn, test and experiment with a few things.It's for the Remakes of "F1Spirit", "Goonies", "Maze Of Galious" and "RoadFighter" that will run in box86wine.
These games have no licence and the source-code is also available.
(With a few changes I also managed to compile some for the RPI)To try the games just download my scripts and install it in RetroPie-Setup.
I tested the games and they should work.With these commands you get it downloaded in the right place no mather where you run it from:
(copy all and paste in terminal)wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/ports/box86winef1spiritremake.sh -P /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/ports/box86winegooniesremake.sh -P /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/ports/box86winemogremake.sh -P /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports wget --backups=1 https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share/main/00-scriptmodules-00/ports/box86wineroadfighterremake.sh -P /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/portsLet me know if it works.

Box86 is updated to 0.2.0, could be interesting to update your box86 install script.
-
Wow, step away for a couple of days, come back and see 50+ new messages! Awesome to see the activity.
@mth75 and @Folly thanks for all the tips, pointers, help, and everything so far! @mth75 thank you especially for creating the thread for what software is working in Box86/Wine. @shavecat welcome and I hope you've got some things working.
As per @mth75's last note, Box86 is updated to v0.2.0. I'm testing it out and will update the scripts shortly. Mesa is now updated to 20.3.3 and Wine is now at 6.0~rc6, so I'm testing all three at the same time. If all goes well, I'll be updating the repository. Keep in mind that Space Cadet 3D Pinball will disappear from that branch, but will still be located in the branch "spacecadet". This is so it won't be part of the pull request. It will also by that time hopefully include the patch to enable music playback (which I haven't started on).
I should also note that Box86 has a vibrant community on Discord if you use it. It's located at https://discord.gg/Fh8sjmu. They have a channel that specifically talks about Wine. It's very active. Many people are using it from TwisterOS which is another Raspberry Pi OS distribution, but with Box86 and other additions. Check it out: https://twisteros.com/ It works rather well, but my primary Pi experience is through RetroPie, hence these scripts and this conversation.
@mth75 thank you especially for creating the thread for what software is working in Box86/Wine. You may also be interested to find this list of Box86 compatible software: https://github.com/ptitSeb/box86-compatibility-list/issues
It seems that Wine Tricks is a valuable part of the Wine experience, even on desktop computers. I'm thinking of adding it as part of the Wine install script. What does everyone think about that?

@george
Hey Thanks a lot ! :)
I got Commandos 1 & 2 working
and Heroes of might and Magic 3 ! :))Will love to see ONI , Enter-the-Matrix , Black&White , Warcraft 3 ...
I did try them but with no success .
And for some reason age of empires 2 give me a bad graphics error .
For now ...It seems that Wine Tricks is a valuable part of the Wine experience, even on desktop computers. I'm thinking of adding it as part of the Wine install script. What does everyone think about that?Will love to see that ! :)

Indeed, it would be nice if you could add winetricks.
I will have a look at those channels you mentioned.
-
So with all the posts I kind of got lost on the actual instructions to set this up. I need to update Retropie, then update Retropie setup script, then install Box86, Wine, and Mesa?
And where do I put the games after that?
-
Are you willing to experiment ?
Can you copy and paste commands in the terminal and do you have some knowledge of terminal commands ?
If you want to add your own software, then you are basically on your own to install.
Because everything is quite experimental up till now.
So you have to know a lot about :- The terminal
- How retropie works
- How wine works
- How scriptmodules work
- ....

Hi George, for those who will make installs on their RetroPie's, Winetricks would be mandatory. But like @Folly says, you really a need kind of staging or development install (in essence to make wine-prefixes).

Some updates. I've updated my repo with the latest scripts for Mesa, Box86, Wine, and Space Cadet. I've removed Space Cadet from the branch that I'm doing my pull request with, but as I mentioned before, I have a new branch that it is available on.
https://github.com/GeorgeMcMullen/RetroPie-Setup/tree/spacecadet
Everything has been updated on that branch as well, and I will continue to sync the branches as development continues.
So what is new:
- Mesa is updated to v20.3.3
- Box86 is updated to v0.2.0
- Wine is updated to v6.0 Stable (also side note - for some reason their platform code changed from "buster" to "buster-1". I have no idea why, but I added some code to make that easier to change).
- Winetricks is now installed as part of installing Wine. Because of the simple window manager being used though, the Winetricks GUI only shows up on the bottom half of my screen. I'm not sure if there is any way to change that. It seems to work well though and can access my default Wine Prefix.
- Space Cadet 3D Pinball now has a patch in it to enable MIDI music correctly!
I should note that while I've tested everything out with my current install, I have yet to do a test with a completely fresh install. So, as always, be careful.
If you don't want to fiddle with moving your RetroPie-Setup directory in order to test these, you could do the following instead.
wget -nv -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/mesa.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GeorgeMcMullen/RetroPie-Setup/spacecadet/scriptmodules/supplementary/mesa.sh wget -nv -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/box86.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GeorgeMcMullen/RetroPie-Setup/spacecadet/scriptmodules/emulators/box86.sh wget -nv -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/wine.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GeorgeMcMullen/RetroPie-Setup/spacecadet/scriptmodules/ports/wine.sh wget -nv -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/spacecadet3dpinball.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/GeorgeMcMullen/RetroPie-Setup/spacecadet/scriptmodules/ports/spacecadet3dpinball.shThis basically just uses wget to retrieve the 4 files and then puts them directly where they need to go. Hope that helps.
Enjoy!

@george , Great work again !
I installed your scripts on a fresh OS.
Everything installed faster now.
Wine configuration was ok :- I also could install mono and gecko while configurating.
- Now the explorer works like it should
- Now the desktop works like it should, install/add programs works too now
Installed spacecadet, music was ok, but there were no sounds.
Tested both :- music and sound on
- music off, sound on
Then tested the Remakes, F1Spirit doesn't work, the others had no sound.
I was able to fix all sound issues by selecting hdmi-1 or headphone-0 again, in raspi-config.
Seems my audio suffers from updates :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/26628/audio-issues-after-latest-raspbian-updates-june-2020Will try some more stuff.

@folly
Could It be possible to play on Pi4 games like Delta Force and Commando 1 and 2 with Box86 and Wine? I started to read this post and It's very interesting! -
