      Hello everyone. My setup is running using the following specifications:

      Pi Model or other hardware: 4B+
      Power Supply used: Official USB-C Power Supply AC 100-240V 50/50Hz input/DC 5.1V
      3A output
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.8.9
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website (retropie-buster-4.8-rpi4_400.img.gz)
      USB Devices connected: TTX Wireless Gaming Reciever, HP 230 Wireless Keyboard dongle, and HP Wireless Mouse (Z3700)
      Controller used: Xbox 360
      Error messages received: Host_ErrorInit: can't initialize cl_dlls/client.so: /opt/retropie/ports/xash3d-fwgs/valve/cl_dlls/client.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

      Verbose log: Parameters:
      Executing: pushd /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/xash3d-fwgs/; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/retropie/ports/xash3d-fwgs /opt/retropie/ports/xash3d-fwgs/xash3d -game "valve" -clientlib cl_dlls/client.so -dll dlls/hl.so; popd
      ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/xash3d-fwgs ~
      [17:31:01] Host_ErrorInit: can't initialize cl_dlls/client.so: /opt/retropie/ports/xash3d-fwgs/valve/cl_dlls/client.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
      [0m~

      Guide used: I referred to the package help section under the xash3d-fwgs emulator in the experimental section.
      Files: client.so
      Emulator: xash3d-fwgs
      How to replicate problem: When you run the Half-Life.sh file it seems to load up the emulator, but a few seconds later it crashes back into the Ports menu of games.

      @ExarKunIv I downloaded the xdash3d-fwgs emulator first. I purchased the Half-Life files from Steam so that they could be installed on my PC. I proceeded to copy the valve folder into the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/xash3d-fwgs folder. Next, I attempted to launch the appropriate emulator, but three seconds later it crashed and led back to the menu screen listing all of the games available in the Ports section. I attempted to re-install the xash3d-fwgs emulator, but the same error message I checked in /dev/shm/runncomand.log was produced.

      Should I do anything with the client.so file or any other files within the valve folder to launch the game correctly? I would like to try purchasing Blue-Shift and Opposing Force eventually, so I can use these expansions with the same emulator. Is there another emulator that will run Counter-Strike as well? Thank you for your assistance.
