Floob

@red_trev
I'll make an updated video this weekend. It works fine for me on RetroPie 4.7 and SORR 5.2

@floob hey it's floob! You have no idea who I am but I just wanted to say your videos were a big help years ago when I first got into RetroPie.

wow, thanks very much !! be great if you could post it here ;)

btw, could you please list the commands that need to be entered in the video description for clarity ?

@red_trev FYI that video is old, and the commands are not needed anymore.

if you just follow the link you posted in your first post that is all you need to do.

i just did it myself to make sure and it works

the screen is in the upper left corner. im looking in to that right now

Red_Trev

@exarkuniv there is a new video coming from @Floob this weekend ;)

quicksilver

@exarkuniv I had to use XINIT to get the window to scale to whole screen on my pi 4. I believe I also set the in game scaler setting to 2x.

ExarKunIv

@quicksilver what does your emulators.cfglook like. i have been trying XINIT but it keeps failing for me

granted im not completely focused on it right now

quicksilver

@exarkuniv

sorr = "XINIT:pushd /opt/retropie/ports/sorr; ./bgdi-333 ./SorR.dat; popd"
default = "sorr"

ExarKunIv

@quicksilver ahh, i was removing pushd

ExarKunIv

@quicksilver thanks for that.

i have updated the sorr script what that and the new bgdi-354 that @Butcher posted.

it seems to be working fine for me, you just need to go in and turn off wide screen or it will run really slow

edit
ill see what @Floob posts and will change anything that needs to be.

Yep, I'll do that.
Although I'm afraid I only have a Pi 3B at the moment, so I wont be able to test it out on a 4 just yet.

Overview video up here: (on a Pi 3)

Refazeshot1

@Floob I may try this again but I got very poor performance on the Pi 4 before... I was pointed towards the KMS drivers being not greatest. The game would load up in a very small screen. There was work around installing some type of video script. While this corrected the issue you were not able to turn on Vsync and it was a screen tearing nightmare. Works great on the Pi 3 though!!
Thank you for the update video you rock!

Red_Trev

@Floob thanks very much ! I notice we must Update the Retropie system to the latest version, I have previously modified the es_systems file to add extra Emulation Station menu items for non-standard systems (see example below), will running the Update script wipe these ? I can always take a copy & re-upload if so, just want to know before hand ....

<system>
<name>naomi</name>
<fullname>Naomi</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/naomi</path>
<extension>.cdi .chd .cue .gdi .sh .zip .CDI .CHD .CUE .GDI .SH .ZIP</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS naomi %ROM%</command>

</system>

@Red_Trev Yes, I'm pretty sure that file would get overwritten. See this post
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/335/question-about-upgrading-and-config-overwrites

Either way, it would always be highly recommended to take a backup if you are happy with your current image.

Red_Trev

@Floob got installed, runs well but was displayed quarter size in top left corner

To centralize & stretch to full screen I had to download, modify, then reupload the emulators.cfg file in the sorr folder

The file contents now looks like this after modification:

sorr = "XINIT:pushd /opt/retropie/ports/sorr; ./bgdi-333 ./SorR.dat; popd"
default = "sorr"

(I simply added XINIT: infront of the pushd )

File is available at the below location:

@Red_Trev you beat me. lol

i have updated my sorr script with the latest engine bgdi-354
I kinda took over RetroPie-Extras, since Zerojay has moved on for personal reasons

i also have it so the system.txt is made and the change that @Floob show in his video is done for you

and i have XINITinclued in the emulators.cfg

so all that is needed is to change the resolution through the run command menu to get the size you want

i was able to get it to full screen and it sees to run good for me.
i do have widescreen turned off

@Red_Trev

I dont get the video in the corner.
Are you running it on a Pi4? If so, I need to hurry up and find one to buy :)
