armagetronad [SOLVED]
-
Hello,
I have installed armagetronad on my retropie using the apt command and it works fine but I cannot launch it from the emustation. The ports error says I am missing a config folder.
how can I launch "normal" linux game from the retropie interface?
Thank you for your help.

If you configured it as a Port, you'll need to also provide a configuration files to launch it, in
/opt/retropie/configs/port/<portname>/emulators.cfg
. Look up other ports' configuration file and create a similar one for your newly added port. For instance,eduke32
has the followingemulators.cfg
:eduke32 = "/opt/retropie/ports/eduke32/eduke32.sh %ROM%" default = "eduke32"
Repace
eduke32
with the name of your port (armagetronad
) and put the correct command line to start the game instead of/opt/retropie/ports/eduke32/eduke32.sh %ROM%

I created the folder and emulators.cfg file and I get some progress but the game still does not start and gives an 'OpenGL error'. Apparently you can't have openGL to work with retropie but what I dont get is that the game works when I start it in an ssh session with -XC option.

Is the game running on your desktop (where the SSH client is started) or on the PI ? Does the name need a X server to run ?

Hello thank you for your help.
The game is installed on the retropie.
I log into the pi from my laptop through ssh with -X option to tunnel the X server.
I start the game with the command "armagetronad"
the game the shows on my laptop and I can play itI would like to play it on the projector connected to the pi hdmi port.
For this I created a port but the game wont start giving an openGL driver missing error.
If I set the pi to use openGL throug raspi-config, the emulation station of the retropie wont start.Sincerely,

If I set the pi to use openGL throug raspi-config, the emulation station of the retropie wont start.
Unless you have a Pi4, then OpenGL is not available OOB in RetroPie for older models and it's not compatible with the GL driver
-
@mitu OK I will have to go for a pi4 then.
Thank you very much for your help
