Best Working Star Wars Game On Retropie

xxghostbusterxx

Just saw Star Wars: Rogue One and wanted to play a Star Wars game on Retropie 4.1

Sega 32X - Star Wars Arcade - not working
N64 - Rogue Squadron - not working
MAME - Arcade - Star Wars Arcade - not working

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thanx

On Retropie 4.1? What version are you using?

@xxghostbusterxx I can confirm Star Wars Arcade for Sega 32X works flawlessly on RetroPie. I personally use RetroPie 3.6. I haven't updated because every time I try it breaks the install and I have it configured the way I like it. But back to Star Wars, I've played the first few levels of Star Wars Arcade and it works fine without any slowdown. I've also play the SNES games without any issue.

@xxghostbusterxx Also, don't expect to ever get Rouge Squadron working nicely. Factor 5 used some serious programming Kung Fu when they designed Rouge Squadron so most N64 emulators have serious problems running this one.

@xxghostbusterxx you just have a bad dump, try downloading it from another source

Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back work on ADVMame (Advance MAME). Use the mouse to control (and reverse the controls in the Analogue menu).

Wow, I got some results:

Sega 32X - it does work!
Star Wars Arcade - works on AvMame 1.4 but getting controls to work will be tough.

Thanks for the advice.

I just want to play 'Turkish Star Wars: The Arcade Game'. Oddly, it'll only work on a Coleco Gemini.

This Indy game maker made a couple simple to use fun to play x-wing type fighter games. Granted right now they only work on a PC but they are free. They are pretty old but still fun. I'd bet if ported over to the pie they would work fine not that I wold know though. Maybe if we all asked him nicely ?

@drake999 It's not you, it's something with the packages for the retropie... I installed Raspbian and did the manual install of 4.1 and retropie works great! However, I like the op, cannot seem to get this one game working properly! What are the odds you can tell us where you got star wars arcade 32x?

Star Wars arcade (vector graphics) works surprisingly well on Mame4All with a PS3 stick. It only took minor tweaking in the analog controls setup (just to make the stick less sensitive).

However, I failed at every attempt to flip the y axis, so it has to be played airplane style (which some prefer anyway).

Just recently found out that in Sengoku Ace, there's clearly an (absolutely unofficial) X-wing you can fly !!

Quite crazy game, there's even some almost NSFW graphics the intro. Seems busty girls always help sales, even for a shmup.

@UDb23 Sooooo Huuummm does this mean we should expect a overlay soon?

I am totally kidding!

@Elterrible The USA version of SW arcade works. The Europe version hangs at start and does not seem to work.

@mviars found some interesting artwork. An overlay for it may be happening ;-)
