Issues and Report on Raspberry PI

[Darknior]

I made this report because i compile your openjazz on PI, and it is the most updated version over the net i think. It is an excellent platform game, and if i can give it to all the RETROPIE users it can be really fantastic.

• The game is starting fine, all is working, i can try many levels without any bug.
• I can play with keyboard or some different joystick too.
• It star in full screen and ALT+ENTER change nothing, it is perfect.
• P for PAUSE working fine too.

• But STATISTIC are always shown, i can't hide them with F9

• I can play with joystick, users only use it on PI, but i can't map ESC key to move back in menu and quit game, it is a big problem.

• Music don't loop, i use the CD game version, and stop at the end of track, really crappy for gamers :(

• The bonus stage has some bugs if i remember fine.

• Impossible to launch JazzJackRabbit 2 ... i have read maybe it can works ?

Like this is the last version over the net with recent update, will some of your team can help to upgrade it ? I can help with beta testing all you want.
Thanks

I have fix the Music loop problem but we must change the make file, i have made a pull request please :

#19

And add the lib to linux :

sudo apt-get install libxmp-dev

An other bug that is not cool, the game saving nothing.

• We can't save settings
• We can't save/load games

Hi, thanks for the bug reports. Most things you noticed do not seem to be RPi specific, so I am going to open separate issues for them later after confirming.

About Alt+Enter: This can be disabled with defining FULLSCREEN_ONLY either in the Makefile or in a RPi specific block in src/io/gfx/video.h

About Statistics display and Joystick mapping: I do not remember such things when working with the code on other platforms, need to check.

About bonus stages: They are not fully implemented yet (as a lot of other things, too)

About JJ2R level support: http://www.alister.eu/jazz/oj/posts/25

I'm not planning any further support for Jazz Jackrabbit 2, nor any kind of support for Jazz Jackrabbit 3D. If you want more features in JJ2, I recommend JJ2+ (http://www.jazz2online.com/jj2plus).

About saving settings: I also had some problems with settings not persisting, but did not tinker with that binary format yet. IMO it would be better to use INI-style plain text configuration.

Good thing you figured out how to make the music loop already, so this will be done when merging the PR. Actually reading README files may help in such cases (as mentioned here: zerojay/RetroPie-Extra#262 (comment) 😄).

• The DEBUG info only show on 320x200, in 640x480 i have some video glitch on top of the screen but debug is not show.
• On Joystick the problem was we can't map ESC key to navigate on menu and quit game.

For JJ2R i have found an other project, i think it will be better to use it :)

Yes if possible it will be easy to use.

Going to close this one, as the remaining issues are open separately: #26 & #51.
