Turrican (hurricane clone) black screen

JenGun

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 ...

@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.

@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 ...

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 ...

@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?

sleve_mcdichael

@JimmyFromTheBay that should still work.

However, and while there are no significant changes at this time*, that's an older version of the script that will no longer be updated. It has now been integrated into RetroPie-Extra where you can always track the latest updates:

https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

(https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra/tree/master/scriptmodules/ports/hurrican.sh)

To get started using RetroPie-Extra, first clone the repository and then run install-extras.sh:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra
cd RetroPie-Extra
./install-extras.sh

The newly-improved install script uses a GUI menu that allows you to select which of the Extra scriptmodules you would like to include. hurrican.sh can be found in the ports section.

*(also it looks like the game itself has had some recent updates, so probably I should take another look at the script soon, also.)

JimmyFromTheBay

@sleve_mcdichael Thanks. But how do I get rid of the old ZeroJay version of RetroPie-Extra? I can't install the new one over the top and neither the Remove or Update instructions here work.

https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

EDIT: got rid of the old folder and Extra seemed to install okay, but when I tried to install any scripts via the GUI this happened:

I looked in /home/pi/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules and all the relevant files DO seem to be there.

ExarKunIv

@sleve_mcdichael i just tested it yesterday and your script worked fine on my system.

I'm not by my pi right now to compare what is on my system to GitHub.

But if we can't figure it out before then I can look Monday

sleve_mcdichael

@JimmyFromTheBay @ExarKunIv yeah I see it here too, lemme see if I can track down why...

Edit: https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra/pull/91

JimmyFromTheBay

@sleve_mcdichael So if I uninstall it and reinstall it now, it'll work?

JimmyFromTheBay

Right, installing RetroPie-Extra worked this time, and I added all the scripts I wanted from the GUI. Unfortunately it skipped a lot of them because they were already in RetroPie-Setup from previous failed attempts and there was no option to overwrite.

So I manually copied hurrican.sh from /home/pi/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules/ports to /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports over the top of the old version and installed it. It seemed to work okay, but when I booted it up, just music and a black screen again.

(OpenBOR didn't work either - it reported a 404 relating to something about "curl", and when you try to run a game it says "https://github.com/crcerror/OpenBOR Raspberry.git ^{} failed with return code 1 - please check your network connection".)
