Hello,happy new year,great script

i want to put age of empires 2 to try,how can i do it after your script has the necessary software installed??

Do i put the installed game folder " AOE2 " inside home/pi/retropie/roms/wine/games

I Make a qjoypad layout for the game as described in your info

I Reboot the system

And the game should be under wine/games/AOE2/ in retropie and i just run it from there??

Should be that simple .

Your qjoypad layout has to match exe exactly.

Hi is it possible to create add to your script pre-configured qjoypad layouts for the already tested/working windows games? Like for example age of empires 2?

Thanks

I don't understand what you mean . We have just added a host of qjoypad layouts heres .

Issue is where are your games . We store our mugens in .../roms/mugens/games . Wine games in ..../roms/wine/games/.installs

Hi, is it possible to add a keyboard layout in qjoypad ?
I don't have a usb joystick or joypad so its not possible to configure the controls to try some windows games
Edit: i managed to find a joypad and configured the keys although there is no save option after i finish i pressed the update and it save them
Upon running the age if empires 2 game i got an error that says "failed to find a layout named Empires2" i press ok and it runs after the game anyway the game has the sound effects but not music is this a bug?

Also i named the Qjoypad layout with the game exe name "Empires2.exe" why it says it cannot find the layout Empires2?

@actraiser30 untested on 1gb pi 4.

@symbios24 it auto looks for a layout with same name as exe .
What do you mean with game exe. Layouts are located at home/pi/.qjoypad

The game folder is "AgeOfEmpires2" the exe name inside the folder is "Empires2.exe" and the qjoypad layout name is "Empires2.exe" are all this correct?? Or i did something wrong??

@actraiser30 that script looks fine . Throw in ...../roms/wine/

@symbios24 you want retropie to boot to a wine game? Cause that s a whole different thing lol . The Lyout aoe2.lyt is for aoe2.exe you don't need to add .exe in layout name

I would not delete . If you are trying to hide from retropie menu. Rename wine-apps folder .wine-apps the . Will hide from retropie

Im not trying to hide from the menu i just want to save space by deleting the desktop

If you made this .sh try the following
open terminal
chmod 755 /home/pi/aoe2.sh
bash /home/pi/aoe2.sh

The chmod 755 makes it executable

It did not work but i found another way

I tried to run a direct3d game but it failed,is there any special command to run it?

Is there a way to install directx??

i tried from wine desktop with no luck i got a lot of errors when installing and the installation failed

Is there a way for your script to comes with directx pre-installed or install it from winetricks like mono and gecko?

in theory yes can be preinstalled . But install is easy just try a few versions .

Directx10 won't work directx9 is highest we've seen work .

I tried a few methods it did not work returned with errors,If you can have direct x9 or direct x7 to be installed with your script from the winetricks section like gecko and mono for example will be great,as many games require it,or if you cant to include a small guide to install it manual
Thanks

@Retro-Devils

So we have just made mono and gecko auto install .

The method is just install Dx9 through desktop we will find the exact one and upload here soon.

Do you know how to run games that require direct3D/Opengl??
I tried with the normal way it did not work got errors that could not find d3d/opengl hardware
Does it require any special switch in the end ??
Thank you

For example wine /game.exe --opengl ??

No special commands id install direct3d but other than that not much I can think of

@symbios24

If you can put in your git page a guide to install directx it will be great

@Retro-Devils

@symbios24

Sudden strike, blitzkrieg,gorky17,call of duty 2
And some others

@Retro-Devils

So directx is tall is just the installe.exe in winetricks they have a few benchmarks . Like 3dmark

@symbios24
Copy link

Sorry what did you mean,the directx included in wine its just a translation layer i think not the full library.
