Actually it’s running when I type the command ./bgdi-330 SorR.dat directly on a SSH client (I use MobaXterm). The window is displaying on my PC and I can play the game even if it’s very slow.
But when I try to run it diretcly on Gameshell I only have a black screen and return to the menu.
Can anyone help ?
EDIT : By running DISPLAY=:0 ~/games/sorr/bgdi-330 SorR.dat on MobaXterm the game runs on the Gameshell and I can play it !
But no way to run it from the launcher … Why ?
Hey to get this running, do I need to grab the Raspi version used by RetroPie or something?
Or is there a place I can compile it from source?
EDIT: I was able to get this working by finding a repo of the game online, grabbing the engine used in retropie-extras, and installing libpng12-0 manually using dpkg (grab the armhf version on here https://packages.debian.org/jessie/armhf/libpng12-0/download --> then put it on your device and run sudo dpkg -i libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_armhf.deb to install it)
I also had an issue where the launcher wouldn’t load because the script I added was owned by root.
Anyway, the last issue is that the buttons don’t match the GameShell keys. So I guess I’ll need to connect a bluetooth keyboard and get everything configured before it can be played.
Ah so that’s the thing. It loads up to a language selection screen. There, I can use the D-Pad but all other keys (including the Lightkey ones) don’t seem to map to a ‘confirm’ button.
So without a full keyboard, I think I’ll need a bluetooth keyboard to get into the game and setup the control config.
EDIT: Ah so I couldn’t get the bluetooth to work. But I was able to save a cfg on the desktop version of the game. And then copy the file in “saves” to the appropriate folder on the GameShell.
assumes you have a lightkey installed for things like Police Specials – you can probably edit SHIFT+BUTTON into it though in the game; just got to Editors --> Profile editor
the default profile name is just cpi, but you can edit that if you have a bluetooth keyboard or edit the file using a copy of Streets of Rage Remake on another device, etc.
