Streets of Rage Remake 5.2 - add to Ports ?

Refazeshot1

There is one thing that bugs me though.... the screen is horribly stretched on my monitor. I have the same settings as Floob but can't use the window option because its too small.

Edit I changed the setting to widescreen and the resolution to 800X600 and that seems to have done the trick.

@Floob a version of SORR on the Pi4 would be very much appreciated. Is works easy enough on the Pi3 so I'm sure you can do it. But understand your issue with getting a hold of one given the pi hut has sold out and the prices on eBay are a joke!

Refazeshot1

@hawkes_84 Outside of some very small pi 4 issues, SORR works fine. I am on my second playthrough on the Pi 4. I honestly don't think anyone is able to fix the screen tearing issues until a new version of retropie is released with KMS optimizations.

hawkes_84

@Refazeshot1 but screen size/resolution is fine if I use the same method to install it? I seem to remember someone mentioned the screen in the top right corner

Refazeshot1

@hawkes_84 Currently in Floobs video SORR uses bgdi-333 which on the Pi4 does result in small screen top left hand corner. EcarKuniv provided an updated script that uses engine bgdi-354 which corrects this issue on the PI4. The instructions are all outlined in this thread. Just make sure you install the updated script first.

Floob

If anyone needs v354 to update manually you can find it here:
https://github.com/saulbustos/bennugd-rpi/blob/main/bin/rpi/bgdi-354

Then you change the reference to it in:
/opt/retropie/configs/ports/sorr/emulators.cfg

@Refazeshot1 @Floob cheers you pair of legends. Get to play sexy SORR on both my pi's now

Protocultor

Many thanks @Floob and @ExarKunIv for your work on this.
Has anyone found a way to bind ESC to the Start button of a controller? It's weird to need the keyboard to exit in the middle of the game.

hawkes_84

@ExarKunIv @Refazeshot1 okay so I'm having issues installing it on my pi4. I'm pretty much using the same method except I'm running the engine bgdi-354. My retropie script is updated to 4.7.21
Am I transferring the same files across to the ports/sorr folder eg mod, palettes, sordat and sordatmaker? Whenever I click to play it I just get taken back to the ES screen. Cheers

Refazeshot1

@hawkes_84 That is correct Hawk, your transferring over all those files mod, palettes, sordat and sordatmaker. If those files are not transferred over when you run SORR it will just kick you out to the main menu. So it should look like this;

/home/Pi/RetroPie/roms/Ports/sorr ---> /mod, /palettes, sormaker.dat and sor.dat

hawkes_84

@Refazeshot1 well I did that originally and I'm still getting kicked back. Also it seems to already have the MOD folder in there when I go to transfer the stuff across. The only thing I can think of that was mentioned in Floobs video is I go to download SORR via emulation station as opposed to going directly via Retropie-setup.sh but would that even make a difference?

Refazeshot1

@hawkes_84 I believe when you install SORR it installs the folders but they are all blank. When I moved mine over I just put the required files on a USB drive which copied them over automatically to ports then I just dragged and dropped them in the SORR folder. I did this over WIFI. I just tried it on a PI4 with a fresh install and it works. You will need to have the script installed first of course.

hawkes_84

@Refazeshot1 yep I have the script installed. Retropie updated. I know the rest is right as I did it for my pi3 the other day. Transferring the files via Wi-Fi like I would putting a rom on. I don't log into the Pi via SSH but rather just press f4 whilst in ES and it takes me there but can't imagine this being an issue. The only thing I can think of is this is a custom image (I know) of retropie and my Pi3 has the standard image. I know custom images are frowned upon but I like to use both

ExarKunIv

@Refazeshot1 most are empty. I have now add the system.txt in the mod with the change that floor says to change.

So that want all that has to be done is copy the files over and don't overwrite the one file. You should be good.

I did not have a problem before. But I'm not by my pi I can check it again tomorrow.

ExarKunIv

@hawkes_84 so you have xorg installed

hawkes_84

@ExarKunIv xorg? Not sure what that is. Sorry

ExarKunIv

@hawkes_84 xorg is kinda like a desktop emulator. It lets us run ports with opengl support.

And with sorry I have it set for it to use xinit. Which is the command for xorg.

I just forgot to have it install it when you run the installer.

The downfall from doing too many scripts if one installs it I forget to check to make sure they all install it.

I'll fix that on my script.
Once I'm done with that all you have to do is uninstall it update my scripts with the new one and you should be good to go

hawkes_84

@ExarKunIv thanks. If you could let me know when you've fixed it and what to type in to update it

ExarKunIv

@hawkes_84
Alright it is updated

if you installed the whole RetroPie-Extras you can update it with

cd ~
cd RetroPie-Extra/
git pull origin
./install-extras.sh

if you installed just that one script. then you have to remove it and use the same command you did to install it

Refazeshot1

@ExarKunIv Wow I must of completely forgot I installed XORG a long time ago but that explains it.
