![]() ![]() So from what I can tell now, if you stick to the older versions you have a better chance of them working. ![]() Most likely since the OpenBOR engine those work with is based off Windows and wont work with us trying them in DOSBox. Ive been going through the best OpenBOR game playlists in YouTube and downloading those - and none seem to work. One seemed buggy with controller setup in the menu, but once in the game the controller worked fine.ĮDIT the 4 varients I tried (and which worked for me) were from the top part of the most downloaded list.probably because theyre been around the longest and are from around 2004 which is when the last BOR engine was made for DOS. Ive run 4 so far (simply by copying the BOR folder, and replacing the BOR.PAK in that folder with the new.PAK version I downloaded - youll need to change the filename - I dont know how to have BOR.EXE boot the.PAK file unless its renamed BOR.PAK). I found a TON here (see the menu on the right for the most popular ones). Just unzip, drop into your romspc folder, reboot the Pi (so it sees the new files), and run BOR.EXE and youre golden.Īlso, as an added bonus of this being totally open source, theres literally hundreds of homebrew varients of this. Heres a link to the.EXE and associated files for Beats of Rage (which is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License thus totally free and open source). The DOSBox version even lets you use a controller (may need button mapping through a simple in-game menu). So simple I dont know how I missed it (or why NOBODY else mentioned this). ![]() Thats right, the same DOS that DOSBox in RetroPie lets us run.fast forward a couple hours, and after finding a 2004 version of Beats of Rage, it runs seemingly perfect on a Raspberry Pi 3, running RetroPie 4.1, through DOSBox (only played to level 2, but so far so good). I even posted on 3 different forums trying to get any fixes for this to no avail.Until I read an article about how Beats of Rage started off in DOS. Heres the info Ive found out so far (and please correct me if Im wrong): The original game was called Beats of Rage (BOR), and all variants of this 2D sidescrolling beat em up game use the OpenBOR engine.īeats of Rage (and other OpenBor) games were ported to RetroPie back in version 3.7 or whatnot.but havent worked in recent RetroPie history.until now.įor the last 3 versions of RetroPie Ive had, installing OpenBOR from the experimental menu (and following the OpenBOR GitHub directions, hasnt worked. ![]()
