I tested several times and there was no failure. You may also add fanmade or unoffcial level packs.If the file is not present then the script stops with an error message of name of missing file. It checks the presence of the file that should be handeld (dopa pak for ex.).So your savedata can be used as usual, you won't feel any difference.Savegames of each extra pack (Hipnotic, Rogue, Dopa and of course Quake (Base Game)) will be saved and extracted if needed.It checks presence of pak2.pak, so if a game session was unexpected broken (current drop, lightning stroke, gods hand) then script will stop with an error message.So I back them up in a seperate archive and reextract if needed. But the structure of savegames will be overwritten or is not useable. maybe hipnotic.pakto pak2.pak then Hipnotic (the first Mission pack will be loaded) that does work with Dopa and Rogue. Well, I use the same trick as with the dopa-release.
Path="/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/quake/id1" # path variable should always end without slash That's all! # Synopsis - Douple Check pathes and settings If some pathes/settings are vary from mine then please update them manually in each script. If you exactly made the changes as I descriped here then no changes to the scripts must be taken. Now we exchange the launching scripts from /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports with the one I provide on Github
- We rename dopa/pak2.pak to dopa.pak and copy to base files of Quake quake/id1/.
- We Rename rogue/pak0.pak to rogue.pak and copy to base files of Quake quake/id1/.
- We rename hipnotic/pak0.pak to hipnotic.pak and copy to base files of Quake quake/id1/.
- Now, against the wiki recommendation copy all pak files from the extra packs to base files of quake. The files pak0.pak and pak1.pak represents the main game (or base game) of Quake and are usually located in quake/id1/ folder
- Working zip! If zip isn't installed then type sudo apt install zip.
- Raspberry Pie with RetroPie and libretro-tyrquake installed.
- Episode 5 - Dimension of the Past (20th years anniversary of QUAKE).
- Mission Pack 2 - Dissolution of Eternity aka rogue.
- Mission Pack 1 - Scourge of Armagon aka hipnotic.
- Registered Version of QUAKE in v.1.06 or 1.08.
- I just coded a new script that now works! I tried to write it clean and fail safe.
Unbelievable this was my first thread and I wrote it - so happy anniversary Mr. So I stumpeld through the wiki got the reference of this thread here!. I think it's the symlinking to USB devices that makes this happen. I just was able to run Dopa and Quake full version.
I opened the wiki and made every step as written there but without success. SCRIPTS ARE NOT NEEDED ANYMORE DUE FIX ON lr-tyrquake thx had some problems to run Quake and it's extras (dopa, hipnotic, rogue) with lr-tyrquake.
