Turrican (hurricane clone) black screen

DavidDraper

@jengun to answer your question about updating from source, the only option for hurrican when installing from reptropie setup is to install from source; I added retropie-extra to my install pie and it the way it is written there is no option to install from a pre-compiled binary, at least on my system. I think I did run an update script for RetroPie-Extra recently (two or three weeks ago?) As part of some generally updating i did on the RetroPie jnstall, b.ut I'm not sure it made a difference. I don't think RetroPie-Extra been updated at github in a while. I don't recall if I updated RetroPie-Extra from source or a pre-compiled binary.

@daviddraper:

Is the new file something be added to hurrican.sh? A new file?

Yes, the first part is a subversion patch file, there is no connection to hurrican.sh at this moment: this is just a test of whether the binary works at all ...

What should it be called and where should it be saved?

Save it in the home directory (/home/pi) on the Raspberry Pi under a name of your choice, e.g. hurrican-sdl2.patch, so the above commands to execute should like this:

$ svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/hurrican/code/trunk
$ cd trunk/Hurrican/src
$ svn patch /home/pi/hurrican-sdl2.patch
$ make TARGET=sdl2
$ cd ..
$ ./hurrican

The binary should start in fullscreen mode, integration with hurrican.sh will follow, but needs some time ...

Hey @jengun

For this newb, this is pretty cool stiff!

I created the file in Atom, named it hurrican.sh and put it in /home/pi via SSH.

I entered

svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/hurrican/code/trunk

and a series of output lines, ending with:

.... (lots of lines like the ones below)

I entered the rest and here is what I got:

I created the file in Atom, named it hurrican.sh and put it in /home/pi via SSH.

OK, enough with Atom's copy and paste weirdness: please SSH to your Raspberry and execute this command to get the file:

curl -LJO "https://gitlab.com/jengun/Hurrican/-/raw/master/hurrican-sdl2.patch"

@jengun FWIW,

I deleted the /home/pi/trunk directory, recreated the hurrican-sdl2.patch file in notepad and ran the commands again and got the following results:

Do you think its something related to my system? I'm running RetroPie commit number ac8d87759f4cad763affbba624be4fb206790ceb, "bump to version 4.7.2.," Running on Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster).

@jengun

AWWWW MAN SOOOO COOL!!!
::ahem::

I ran the script from https://gitlab.com/jengun/Hurrican/-/raw/master/hurrican-sdl2.patch and the rest of the commands

$ svn checkout svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/hurrican/code/trunk
$ cd trunk/Hurrican/src
$ svn patch /home/pi/hurrican-sdl2.patch
$ make TARGET=sdl2
$ cd ..
$ ./hurrican

and the game ran from the command line! You did it!!!!!!! very awesome. And it even works with my controller I had plugged in to the system without any problems.

I hate to ask after everything you've done... but is there a way to create a link to the game from the Emulation Station details page?

Thanks!

Dave

JenGun

@DavidDraper

and the game ran from the command line!

Glad that it works now! :-)

... but is there a way to create a link to the game from the Emulation Station details page?

Just copy the working binary:

sudo cp -i /home/pi/trunk/Hurrican/hurrican /opt/retropie/ports/hurrican

... provided that there is an old copy of Hurrican with data files in /opt/retropie/ports/hurrican ...

I'm doing a cleaned up hurrican.sh that will things more convenient ...

DavidDraper

@jengun ok- I will need to try this when I get home. I think I removed the Hurrican files I installed from RetroPie-Extra. Should I reinstall it and then run the copy command?

Thx,

David

DavidDraper

@jengun Worked like a charm. You are a person of high class and a scholar. Thanks.

David

JenGun

@daviddraper You're welcome and thanks for your kind words! :-) You might have noticed some random pixels on the right window edge: this is also fixed (at least they'll be cut off) in my GitLab repository: https://gitlab.com/jengun/Hurrican ...

DavidDraper

@jengun Very cool. How do I update hurrican with your update? do I download it and copy it into the directory in /ports?

Dave

JenGun

@daviddraper Just clone the repository only once:

git clone https://gitlab.com/jengun/hurrican

and execute make in the hurrican/src directory to build the binary. To update use

git pull

in the hurrican directory ... I'll try to fix at least a few small bugs, but I'm not an expert on C++ and OpenGL: so there won't be any major changes. Please use GitLab to report issues, not this forum ...

https://gitlab.com/jengun/hurrican

Hi,

I'm trying to get this version running on the RPi4 since it looks like it no longer needs X server to run.

The gitlab project is no longer available. Does anyone know the new location?

I compiled a version of Hurrican that runs under X (XINIT in emulators.cfg) and it works, but I can't find the code that I compiled and now when I try to pull code from other sites it fails linking.

I installed Hurrican from RetroPie-Extras and it fails to display a screen on the RPi4.

https://github.com/drfiemost/Hurrican uses SDL2 by default and should work on RPi4 ...

Hi, when I get to the cmake step
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

I get an error that it is missing the cmake text file.

I'm on pi4, any ideas?
many thanks!

Copy & paste the lines from https://github.com/drfiemost/Hurrican#building ... tested and works on the RPi4 ...

luckyluca

@jengun Unfortunately that doesn't work, probably a library missing?

@luckyluca it looks like you didn't install the necessary libepoxy-dev dependency. You can do that with:

sudo apt -y install libepoxy-dev

Or, I've been working on a scriptmodule using that repo, I think it's in pretty good shape if you want to give it a try:

https://github.com/s1eve-mcdichae1/Hurrican-RPi

You can download it to your Pi 4 with (edit: had the wrong url, should be fixed now):

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/s1eve-mcdichae1/Hurrican-RPi/main/hurrican.sh -P $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/

After that you can install the port through RetroPie-Setup > Manage packages > Manage experimental packages

JimmyFromTheBay

@sleve_mcdichael So, have I understood correctly, because I got hopelessly lost halfway down this thread:

If I type in that WGET instruction, then install Hurrican from the Experimental menu, that's all I need to get the game running?
