getting SORR to work

ExarKunIv

nope. did not think of that, or i tried and could not figure out how to run it.

just 'sudo sorr.sh' ?

im guessing i need to be in RetroPie-Extra to run it

@ExarKunIv
Actually you'll need to make the sorr.sh script executable, something like this:

chmod +x ~/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules/ports/sorr.sh

Yeah I think you can run something like:

sudo ~/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules/ports/sorr.sh

I'm user an x86 Ubuntu virtual machine and I tried running that script manually and nothing happened for me. It didn't give me an error message either. Does another script call this one?

@backstander

so its not just me. thats good and bad.

You need to manually download the SorRv5 game, and transfer the SorR.dat to opt/retropie/ports/sorr/. I'm also sure you need to transfer over the pallettes/mods folders to that location as well too.

@Omnija

i do have the game, but i did not know about having the SORR.dat in the opt/retropie/ports/sorr/. i thought it needed to be in /roms/ports.

i will give that a shot tomrrow.

Thanks for the tip

it worked. the game starts.

it does freeze at the leaf like i have see a few people say, but it starts. :)

EDIT
never mind i got it to work on. just needed to pick the correct setting when it started

woo hoo.

thanks to you also @backstander

@ExarKunIv @Omnija @backstander

I'm also trying to run sorr and its freezing at the leaf. What is the exact setting that I need to change?

ExarKunIv

@lilpenny10
you need to select the video mode normal (full screen)

but i think you will now have to delete all the files due to the setting already being set and it will freeze before you can get into the menu to change it. i could be wrong about that, but the setting is right

@exarkuniv Thanks I will delete all the files and try changing the mode!
