RetroPie-Extra Repository

@iesposta I'm very very intimately familiar with Maelstrom. I'll try to take a look at it. :)

@herb_fargus Amusing how quickly that got ignored, huh? :)

zerojay

@iesposta Because I remembered playing this so much on my old classic Mac: https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra/commit/d90a086ca19749aca29dc5bb1641a0fe263ba17d

@zerojay I hope many, many people find Maelstrom as enjoyable as we have!

Wow nicely done!

I am very much hoping for a Super Mario War pre-configged for ES, could you enlighten me or does it require a separate controller setup?

But the options look AWESOME! I love me some homebrew!

zerojay

@ShootHere It already exists.

ShootHere

Be still my beating heart!

Really? I must admit I looked a while back and sort of figured there wasn't much change since the original project seemed to be pretty much abandoned although the forums show signs of revival.

Awesome!

EDIT: not knowing the situation, change the wording.

@ShootHere well... Yes dead and buried literally as the main dev of super Mario War committed suicide. A new dev from Hungary has been working on a netplay port (which is the module I included in zerojays repo) but it's very alpha. Regular gameplay has no issues though. But RetroPie by default already has super Mario War included.

i installed some ports from your repository but all off the new *.sh files are empty...

EDIT: when i run the scripts over ssh again it work

Re: My Extras installs not showing up?

There's en Emulationstation setting I i ever knew about.
Main Menu > Other Settings > "Parse Gamelists Only" that was set ON.
When on, it ignores files in rom folders if they don't have an image scraped?
Turning it to OFF made everything appear.

Kodi 16 works with AirPlay music, and video if you haven't moved on to iOS9.

Maelstrom is there, but it crashes back to "PORTS".
Edit:
My previous build is messing up your install script.
My fault.

A lot of new stuff has gone in the past few days, including a few things that we didn't think would be possible before, mainly for those on Pi 3's. If it's been a while since you checked out the repo, I encourage you to take a look. :)

Maybe this thread should be stickied?

@schmulkfuster FoFix is now in the repo for you to take a shot at. A bit choppy on a pi3, but playable enough for me to score 5 stars on a bass song. :)

Thanks @zerojay! My PI is temporarily being used for some neopixel fun but I'll check it out very soon! Thanks! (Also, need to buy a second PI!) 😄

Maybe I'll keep updating this thread for new additions.

@zerojay said in RetroPie-Extra Repository:

Something that I've been working on for quite a while and made the occasional post about was my RetroPie-Extra repository. I figured that with the new forum and with the amount of content included in it now, I should probably properly announce it to the community.

For those of who you aren't familiar, I've been contributing quite a few new ports to the RetroPie ports menu recently....

And I want to say a big THANK YOU to you! Very much appreciated, yes indeed.

zerojay

I'm going to be taking a little break away from porting stuff to RetroPie. I'm about to move to a new city for a new job so I won't have time until I'm settled in, probably within a month or so. I'll still be around (when I have internerd access) in the meantime. Keep posting suggestions and ideas to the Github as issues and I'll get to them when I can.

Thanks.

@zerojay have a good move and a great new job man! Take care for now.

I am having some issues with the Streets of Rage Remake port. When I try to save settings and exit to the title screen at any time, the game crashes and my settings do not save.

I also had an issue where the Pi crashed when I tried to exit to Emulation Station by pressing the Esc key on my keyboard (the normal way to exit on Windows.)

The game also freezes when you try to drop your savegame file from Windows to the folder on the Pi and try to start the game.

Using RetroPie 3.7 with a Pi 3.

EDIT: I think I figured it out, it doesn't like 2x Normal screen mode, meaning not as sharp a picture as is possible and no vsync. Is there a possibility that this could be added in the future?

Thanks for all your work on this :)

No.
