retropie-extra's Introduction

************* Repo is archived/read-only *************

Hi. A combination of my poor health and the targetted harassment by a small group of RetroPie users who believe I owe them my time has made me decide that I can't do this any longer. My enthusiasm for RetroPie has dropped due to these people and I haven't touched my Pi in a year. Also, I've spent a significantly greater amount of time on tinkering and playing around with emulators and I just want to get back to actually enjoying the games themselves again.

To those of you who have contributed and shown interest in my work, thank you. It's because of you that I worked so hard on this over the years and it's because of you that I am archiving this and not just deleting the repository outright. I'm hoping that someone within the RetroPie community will step up, clone the repo and keep the good times rolling for you all. Have fun, and I'm sure that you'll see me around here and there in various retrogaming communities.

RetroPie-Extra

This is a collection of unofficial installation scripts for RetroPie allowing you to quickly and easily install emulators, ports and libretrocores that haven't been included in RetroPie for one reason or another. These scripts can be considered experimental at best.

Those in the master branch have been tested reasonably and should work well but may have some flaws as they haven't gone through the RetroPie's watchful eyes yet. Scripts that are unfinished/untested/unpolished will not be located in this repository and instead have been moved to RetroPie-Extra-unstable.

Pull requests and issue reports are accepted and encouraged as well as requests. Feel free to use the issue tracker to send me any personal requests for new scripts that you may have.

Installation

The following commands clone the repo to your Raspberry Pi and then run install-scripts.sh to install the scripts in the master branch directly to the proper directories in the RetroPie-Setup/ folder.

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git
cd RetroPie-Extra/
./install-extras.sh

The installation script assumes that you are running it on a Raspberry Pi with the RetroPie-Setup/ folder being stored in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup. If your setup differs, just copy the scripts directly to the folder they need to be in.

Usage

After installing RetroPie-Extra, the extra scripts will be installed directly in the RetroPie Setup script (generally in the experimental section), which you can run from either the command line or from the menu within Emulation Station.

cd ~
cd RetroPie-Setup/
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

Updating

The following commands update your Raspberry Pi to the latest repo and then run install-scripts.sh to install the scripts in the master branch directly to the proper directories in the RetroPie-Setup/ folder.

cd ~
cd RetroPie-Extra/
git pull origin
./install-extras.sh

Troubleshooting

Here are some helpful hints for getting around some possible issues that you may encounter.

The port I installed appears to close immediately upon launching.

In most cases, this is likely because the port requires external data files, especially in the case of game engines. In cases where shareware datafiles are available, the port will install them where possible. Otherwise, you will need to provide your own. The warning dialog box at the end of installation should usually tell you what files will be needed and where to place them. If you somehow don't see a dialog box after installation, you can open the script itself and look towards the bottom for the warning.

What is the directory structure needed for lr-daphne?

I haven't worked that out yet. If you have, drop me a line.

Gamemaker module says "Package Help" when trying to install it.

The Gamemaker module only shows "Package Help" when trying to install it on the updated RetroPie setup script.

Heboris is impossible to close with only a controller

As fun as having a TGM-styled game on the pi is, I can't get much use out of it due to the game requiring the escape key to be pressed to close it. (I don't keep a keyboard attached to my pi)

I tried adding in a quit option in the test menu (line 14908, in the gist link below), however I'm running into multiple depreciation errors when trying to compile it so I can't really test if it actually works. (See here: http://i.imgur.com/Vk0nTQK.png )

This is the attempt at code that I threw together that may or may not actually work:
https://gist.github.com/AratnitY/d64d128baf94505f0c1cc5b9fba87ccb

Do you think this is something that could be added in?

GameMaker games don't boot

I have the latest version of Retropie (4.1).
I've installed Retropie-Extra and installed the GameMaker package from the experimental section in Retropie and they just don't boot, at all :(

Is there something else that we have to do? A part from installing? Maybe permissions?

Enhancement: Basic video player

It would be insteresting if there was a direct way to launch videos from the retropie's emulation station, without having to go through Kodi.
Someone already did this: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=130294; but it would be nice to have it as a basic extra with keyboard/gamepad functionality.

eXoDOS - Script Names have double spaces.

When generating filenames for the new game scripts to be launched by RetroPie, games that have a hyphen in the title appear to get an extra space in the final filename. For example:

Star Wars - Dark Forces (1995) -> Star Wars - Dark Forces (1995)

The extra space causes DOSBOX to choke.

Add TI-99

Hurrican - Does not save Controller Preferences

Great job zerojay!

One little thing. Hurrican does not save its Controller Preferences so everytime you must go through and re-set the Gamepad config

Enhancement: DDR/StepMania/ Rhythm game

https://github.com/openitg/openitg
Open ITG looks like a possibility
or the one you mentioned earlier,
https://bitbucket.org/PhracturedBlue/stepmania-gles2

But really ay DDR esque type game that can be ported and paired with a USB Dance Pad.

Streets of rage Remake

Hello,

fresh setup, starting from berryboot
updated from retropie 3.6 to 4.0
installed your extra scripts by following your instructions
downloaded game files + patchs
put everything in /opt/retropie/ports/sorr

When I start the game, the screen goes black, the music starts for a few seconds and the game crashes. Screen remains black all the time.

permissions on savegame folder seems ok
tried forcing debug from bennugd by modifying command : "./bgdi-330 -d ./SorR.dat; popd &> /home/pi/LOGS.txt" but LOGS.txt is just empty.

Can't save in SoRR

Hope this is the right place to post this - I'm running RetroPie 4.1 on a Raspberry Pi 3. Have SoRR (Streets of Rage Remake) up and running but I can't for the life of me figure out how to save, and load a save game. I have a random save game created at the very first scene....which the game boots into automatically when I launch it from RetroPie's Ports menu, but that's it...and I don't know how that save got there.

Can you please tell me:

1.) How to save?
2.) How to restore a save game?
3.) Is there only 1 save game slot?
4.) Can you save at any point?

I was told on a PC you hit F12 to save, which I tried on my Raspberry Pi's keyboard (two of them), but that just exits out of the program (which is good to know because the normal hotkeys of Select+Save or Esc to exit don't work in SoRR!). Thanks!

Chocolate Doom does not build

Chocolate Doom does not build because the default branch for the Github repo is now sdl2-branch. Here is the build log: http://pastebin.com/NbwWrk61.

Chocolate Doom seems to build fine from the master branch. Not sure what the best approach is - to add SDL2 dependencies or force the master branch in the scriptmodule.

ROTT - Have script compile and setup shareware version too.

Brought to my attention that the shareware version of ROTT has different levels from the final. Edit the script to have it compile both versions and set up RetroPie to allow you to play both. Also, find the shareware assets for automatic download.

Add FreeDink: Open-source port of Dink Smallwood

Here is the webpage: http://www.gnu.org/software/freedink/

I already made a script for this so you can test it out yourself. Feel free to modify and tweak this if you wish...
freedink.zip
I attached it in the zip file above. Also, consider it being added to the repository.

Mayhem

Hi. Great work. I'm having trouble with Mayhem though. It says "'sfx_boom.WAV'" not found and it doesn't pop up in the Ports section after installation. I'm running the latest version of RetroPie.

Add support for RetroFE

RetroFE is a very nice frontend that has support for raspberry pi.

https://bitbucket.org/teamretro/retrofe/src

Yabause standalone

Hi Zerojay, mentioned this on IRC a while ago :)

Instructions for this are on https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/saturn - it should be scriptable. Once launched you also need to change the CPU compiler to the dynarec via the GUI (maybe this can be scripted also?), but that didn't seem to improve performance so I think there's perhaps an issue here?

Not sure if you're interested in this, and I'm not sure what potential performance we could get out of this, but I think it's worth exploring as it certainly performed better than the current lr-yabause on my pi3. Maybe if there were issues with my build, once fixed it could be nearing playable status.

EasyRPG Player: Could Not Successfully Build.

Upon first attempt it failed to install:

libpixman-1-dev
libicu.dev

I tried to manually install both via apt-get, but it only allowed me to install libpixman-1-dev.

I tried the script for EasyRPG Player again. This time it made it further, but in the end said it could not build EasyRPG Player.

Unable to install, hardcoded paths

I can't install this script, here is the error:

cp: target ‘/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/’ is not a directory
cp: target ‘/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators’ is not a directory
cp: target ‘/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary’ is not a directory

I have Raspbian Jessie Lite installed, then I deleted user pi and I'm using all the system under root account. This scripts searchs for "/home/pi" and in my system, home directory is "/root"

Thanks!

Add Moonlight streaming script.

Add moonlight streaming support script from RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup#1082.

Add IceWeasel Web Browser

Can you add my script to the repository when you have a chance? You can test it out if you want to...
I put it in a zip file so I can attach it to this message.

eXoDOS - CD-ROM images sometimes have incorrect casing.

There are games that use CD images that need to be mounted and sometimes the CUE files have the incorrect casing of the extension. This works fine on Windows which is a case-insensitive filesystem but fails to run properly on Raspberry Pi/Linux.

Write a routine into the script that will look for and autocorrect these issues by either renaming the offending disk image or updating the name in the CUE file.

SuperTuxKart not opening (RetroPie 4.2)

I have installed the .sh file and put it in my ports folder, the problem is that the game doesn't load when I try to play it. I select it, black screen, booted back to the Ports menu. How do I fix this and why is it not loading?

Game Port Request

Requesting Phase Shift,
Had looked in this group for Phase Shift,
https://www.facebook.com/groups/PhaseShiftOnline/
And had seen that someone had ported it via a picture so know its possible.

Add MineTest?

Minetest is an awesome, FREE voxel world builder like Minecraft but open source and in active development and mod-friendly. See www.minetest.net for more info.

I believe it's available for Debian and I hear people saying there is a RPi port availble (https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=15543).

I also found a specific RPi port of MineTest (https://github.com/Megaf/MinetestPi-Raspbian) although I'm not sure where development is as the last change on this repo is 2014.

Could be a better alternative to the official Minecraft build for Pi since MS have pretty much killed that one.

Thanks!

Streets of Rage Remake - Unable to save.

Apparently, there are some save game issues as reported on the petrockblog site.

Add Full Minecraft through experimental OpenGL Driver

Here is a tutorial: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=137279

Joystick Support for RoTT

I am not able to select Joystick Enabled from the Option menu. Are joysticks/gamepads supported in RoTT?

If it's not possible, then I have found another source which claims to do so.

https://github.com/JohnnyonFlame/RoTT

I am happy to test running your script with the new source. Would it be just a case of changing lines 22 and 23 to the following?

git clone https://github.com/JohnnyonFlame/RoTT.git

Repository Games List

Here is a games list based on apt-cache search games:

http://pastebin.com/UTfPhzuv

and this is a list from apt-cache search opengl (for future reference or at least to eliminate some of the above list)

http://pastebin.com/byUqqgHU

There are 3 main caveats that may apply to games on the list:

Requires X
Requires OpenGL
Not really a Game

Should be very easy to almost autogenerate port templates for all of them (pending launch names match package names which is not always the case)

Not sure if this is useful or not, but its here for those that are curious.

Updates scripts

The scripts need to be updated for the rewrite of the RetroPie setup script.

Original Pull request: RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup#1489

Update to BennuGD port (Streets of Rage Remake)

An update on the Streets of Rage Remake (BennuGD) port to Raspberry Pi, I have been talking to butcher over on the BennuGD forums and he has released an updated version which now adds Sormaker mod support (fan games created using the SORR engine).

Simply replace the current file with the two files contained in this package:

https://mega.nz/#!z8MxDKyJ!A7wAgGJ728t2w45PtAOkk5eLa-P9WoiaQhq7pGgrt1o

In order to get mods to work, in the "mod" folder create a new folder called "games" and add your Sormaker games here. They MUST be in lower case, otherwise they will not work. For example, a Sormaker mod (folder) named "Example Mod" will not work, but one named "example mod" will.

The author will try and sort out the issue with the game crashing when any video mode other than "Normal" is chosen in the options. Hopefully he will resolve this issue too.

Hope this helps :)

SuperTuxKart not going fullscreen

I'm running RetroPie on a Pi 3 and Pi 2 with a Full HD screen and managed to install and launch supertuxkart after changing the X permissionsto "Anyone". Unfortunately though, the supertuxkart preferences only provide resolutions up to 1024x768 and its view is placed in the bottom left corner of the screen.

Output of xrandr:

Screen 0: minimum 1280 x 720, current 1280 x 720, maximum 1280 x 720

Chromium Crashing to Emulation Station

Installed from repository. Rebooted system. Chromium opens to black screen and crashes to Emulation Station. Tried the dpkg-reconfigure for x11. Saved and rebooted, Chromium still Crashing.

Upon install from Retropie Setup, I received no warnings from Chromium.

If i f4 to console, I can manually start with - startx chromium-brower
But will not launch from Emulation Station

Advice?

Edited: IceWeasel is doing the same thing.

libsdl-mixer1.2 nneded for SoRR

As mentioned here:
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3432/is-streets-of-rage-remake-working-for-anyone-in-4-0/12

It looks like libsdl-mixer1.2 is needed for SoRR to work?

Installed Extras not showing in ES

I've installed Maelstrom, Kodi, and Chromium all from Experimental in the RetroPie_Setup script, after installing these extras.
In Emulationstation, nothing new has appeared.
In Ports, all that shows is Duke 3D.

RetroPie 3.6
Pi 2

Chromium: matchbox: can't open display! check your DISPLAY variable.

Chromium installs fine, but when I attempt to launch it via EmulationStation or Command line, I end up with this error:

Wiki

I dont really want the retropie wiki cluttered with stuff that isnt part of retropie yet, I think it would be good to initialise the wiki here so if @XD3l wants to do some documentation for the ports here it gives them a spot, and will make for an easy transfer when other ports are included with RetroPie.

Check whether X server is present when installing Attract Mode

I've just installed Attract Mode using your script, however it won't run because there's no X server on my Pi. Would it be possible to alter your script so it checks for the presence of the X server and, if not found, installs it alongside the other dependencies?

[Request] OpenXcom

This could possibly be a port worth looking into:
https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom

I haven't tried compiling it on the pi yet, so this should serve as a place-holder until someone can prove or disprove its feasibility before I do.

A quick look at the documentation shows that it will need an additional dependency to be compiled from here:
