Suggestions for ports #2

@exarkuniv Yes, I've included a small patch that makes OpenBOR able to load the PAK-files with commandline argument. Greetings to @darknior for having the initial idea of this.

The big differece from rofl0r and "mine" which is a fork from rofl0rs ... you do not need to extract the PAK files. You can directly use the PAKs provided and I don't know why it is not reviewed by the moderators. Even if this version is quite old it provides good results in running old games.

@cyperghost thank you for clarifying for me. i will add something to the name to make it different from the one included with the main RetroPie Setup so it does not get ignored

cyperghost

@exarkuniv I think you can compile and try ;) You'll see the difference quite early.

I sent you a PR with some suggestions.

I'm going to do my best to do as good as zerojay. He did set the bar high.

I'm still learning as I go. So be patient is all I ask.

I did get my gamepad working in nxe-evo, eventually; I had to use the keyboard to navigate to "options" and then bind the controls manually. Did you have to do that or was it plug-and-play for you?

Also haven't figured out my graphics issue, I've posted an issue on their repo about it.

@sleve_mcdichael i had to use a keyboard also. once i did that, it worked great

Got it, okay I think we're on the same page. Graphics issue has to do with framebuffer resolution. Am experimenting with game and runcommand settings. Looks great at 1024x768, but runs pretty sluggish. Runs better at 640x480, but the bottom of my image is cut off...

enable the fake 3d driver i mean from config.txt

add "dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d" to /boot/config.txt.

sleve_mcdichael

@retropi19 that setting is already in the default config and I didn't change it:

[pi4]
# Enable DRM VC4 V3D driver on top of the dispmanx display stack
dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d
max_framebuffers=2

retropi19

@sleve_mcdichael If you are from desktop enable the driver from the raspi-config

@ExarKunIv I stumbled across a solution for dhewm3 not exiting properly. Add

+set in_tty 0

To the end of the line of dhewm3 emulators.cfg

Edit: I also found a few minor mistakes with some of the scripts in your repo. Would you prefer I open issues there or just report them here?
