Rocks´n Diamonds / Emerald Mine clone.... Port!

[Pyjamarama]

@HPK-de Sorry, I meant how to install the Linux distro of the game to my RetroPie (Pi3)

[HPK-de]

@Pyjamarama
That´s easy.

1. Download the game as tar.gz here:
   http://www.artsoft.org/RELEASES/unix/rocksndiamonds/rocksndiamonds-4.0.0.0-rc3.tar.gz

2. Extract the archive: tar -xzf rocksndiamonds-4.0.0.0-rc3.tar.gz

3. Go to the folder where the data is extracted to

4. Type: "sudo make clean"

5. Type: "sudo make sdl"

6. I have copied the complete folder to my ports folder (optional).

7. You have to make an sh-file for starting the game via Ports menu.
   This file must be placed in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/ in order to find the
   game in the ports menu of Emulationstation.

8. I´ve made my sh file executable: sudo chmod +x filename.sh

This file should look like this (depending on your folder structure):

#!/bin/bash
"/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/rocksndiamonds-4.0.0.0-rc3/./rocksndiamonds"

(The game ist started via the command "./rocksndiamonds")

I hope that helps ;)

@HPK-de It worked perfectly on my RasPi 3. Nice guide. Thanks a lot.

@HPK-de
I tried to compile the game on myself, but get an error
recipe for target 'sdl' failed

Do you know a fix? Or can you please upload the compiled game?

[HPK-de]

@cyperghost

Hi, i uploaded the compiled version to my google drive so you can download it.
It is open surce anyway :-)
It´s a ZIP File, (~6MB) which containes the folder of the game and the .sh startup script
i made for it.
You maybe have to change that, according to your folder structure.
I put the game in the "home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports" ports folder....

@HPK-de
Thank you ... there is something wrong with my SDL settings. I receive error ./rocksndiamonds: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_net-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[Pyjamarama]

@HPK-de Worked like a charm. I did a chmod + x to the .sh file and the executable. For reasons uknown it cannot red the up and down in my fresh new ZeroEncoder stick. Left and Right work OK...but I think I have seen it in other ports too. Something with my config or SDL maybe...

@cyperghost likely missing a dependency:

libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-net1.2-dev

[cyperghost]

@herb_fargus said in Rocks´n Diamonds / Emerald Mine clone.... Port!:

libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-net1.2-dev

You both (@HPK-de and @herb_fargus rock :)

sudo apt-get install libsdl-net1.2 libsdl-net1.2-dev

In case anyone is interested I created a module for it and submitted a pull request to @zerojay's retropie extra repository:

https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/pull/184

I only tested on my pc but it should work on the pi too.
