RetroPie-Extra Repository

Higgy

Hi,

First off, thanks for the great work.
I am trying to run Freesynd for Syndicate, but running from RetroPie I just get a black screen and a cursor for a few seconds then it goes back to the Retropie menu.
I know my Syndicate files work ok as it runs fine on Freesynd Windows.
I have not changed monitor res or video driver, just running straight out the box so to speak.
Any help is welcome. Thanks (RetroPie 3.8 on RPi 3 and RetroPie 3.8.1 on RPi 0)

I haven't tried it recently. All I can really say about it is that it was flaky and would crash out after a level or two (save often!)

When I have time, I'll try to take a look at it.

@zerojay

Gamemaker module only shows "Package Help" in the setup script while trying to install it.

File a bug, I'll take a look as soon as I can.

Will Mehstation ever be a part of the RetroPie-Extra Repository?

@zerojay Thank you for helping to bring the TI99 to RetroPie. This was the first system my family had. I have so many great memories of this. Tombstone City forever!

Is there any possibility of a port of AM2R to RetroPie?

@Charco The full linux version was supposed to be released, but Nintendo sent a DMCA and shut it down. There is both an unoffical linux version and linux demo build.

Hi, the breaker game (android clone) starts without sound and can only be controlled by mouse....
Is that standard?
How can i get sound? can i change the controls to keyboards?

Thanks

Great to see that it's even complete with logo and controller graphics, I added "beebem" and it's showing up great in the ES menu. (You have to add the extensions to es_systems.cfg manually).

So... git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git will get the new version to install it properly, if I already have the previous one on the Pi?

By the way, among things I can confirm is that freesynd indeed doesn't seem to run, as mentioned above. "Bermuda Syndrome" seems to run correctly, without the save/load menus (though there's no way to exit the game, so you have to yank the Pi power cable out...)

You're able to directly launch games with Beebem? If so, I'll make the changes needed.

It will copy the updated scripts and then you have to run the setup script and choose which ones to update.

Freesynd ran for me in the past but was unstable.

"Bermuda Syndrome" seems to run correctly, without the save/load menus (though there's no way to exit the game, so you have to yank the Pi power cable out...)

Pretty sure you can hit ESC to quit but I'll have to check that.

By the way, if you want to keep track of what I'm doing and working on for the RetroPie-Extras repo, it's always a good idea to check Twitter (@zerojay) or Mastodon (http://social.zerojay.com/@zerojay) as I post everything there under the #retropie hashtag.

Hi @zerojay , just wanted to say a big thank you for your work with these extra ports and emulators! Finding sorr and openxcom in your repository was a great day indeed, seeing as they are two of my favourite ports/mods and they both work excellently.

I noticed on your GitHub page you list XDLash/Xash (HL1) and jswp (Shadow Warrior) ports as ones you'd like to tackle in the future, I was just wondering if that's still the intention and if you had anything you'd like me to try out for you - I'm very interested in seeing how they both come out. Shadow Warrior does run through dosbox but the fps is pretty terrible :/

Thanks again!

@sonicsheppard I second this. Some great stuff in @zerojay 's extra repo.

Hi @zerojay , just to let you know that your install-extras.sh is missing:

cp -R scriptmodules/libretrocores/* "/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocore

so the mame2003 mod is not showing up in the experimental section. Easy to add manually. Just thought I'd let you know so you could update.

zerojay

@jonnykesh Good catch, I'll fix that.
EDIT: Done.

@zerojay
glad that you are back.

I dont know if im doing something wrong, but roadfighter.sh always seems to error out when i try to run the setup

and i have updated with git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git, but i dont see anything new that you have listed on your earlier post.

i must be doing something wrong

EDIT dont know why but it made a new folder within the current one, so i had to just move somethings around

EDIT again. ok i tried roadfighter after i got the new .sh files in there. now it works. THX @zerojay

I haven't changed anything about that in particular so... cool. :)

@zerojay

That's funny. I tried it before I updated the install script. And it errored out. But after it installed fine. But whatever it worked. Lol
