Since I made this video, DirtBagXon's fork of SM3 has been added to RetroPie-Setup, so you should just be able to install it directly from there. if you don't see it, update RetroPie-Setup. :)

Also, you should check my video on Scud Race as it explains a new feature that allows you to specify which variant to load in a merged rom without editing the zip. ruclips.net/video/twnuo_GTFQE/видео.html

I have no experience with PieMarquee, but I don't see why they can't coexist on a standard RetroPie image. Make a backup image of your SD card and try it out.

It's something I can look at. I believe there are already several daphne and mame incarnations of Cobra Command but for joystick controls, per the original arcade game. A Lightgun/mouse adaptation would require a full rewrite as there's no existing singe-based version to modify. I already have a few projects in progress so this won't be any time soon though.

Check the video description!

Thanks, that's a really interesting idea. I've given it some thought and reasoned that what you're asking for is just a way to play the videos to use with the toys, which provide no feedback to the computer. The videos are already available for use on RUclips and they can be downloaded to play in whatever dedicated video player you want to use. There's nothing to gain from playing them through Hypseus. So it's a great idea but not a feature that I'll implement. Thanks for bringing it though. :)

@@widge Ok, because you can use Recalbox to play Hypseus games. And you can plug Recalbox RGB Dual to a CRT TV. But it's ok I will do it in another way.

It's occurred to me that you could play through the whole video without interacting with it if you keep the cursor in one corner, where it won't make contact with any of the targets. The cursor's origin is in the top-left, if you don't move it at all you'll be ok, you just won't be able to skip the intro as you need to shoot in the lower region of the screen. But you could just move it to one of the lower corners then you can also skip the intro.

@@widge Ok I will try , thank you!

Thanks. It's a great little game with a lot of replayability baked in. Thank you for making it available :)

Nice. If you're using a lightgun be sure to calibrate in the game service menu. It's not visible in the normal menus you have to do a special button combination to find it.

@widge yeah saw that. F2 to enter service menu and whatnot. Appreciate the heads up!

Thanks for noticing. I hoped that would be apparent. It's new to computers and it's not played quite the same as with the toys but you're right, it makes use of the classic video content to bring something of the old game to new players.

I don't have first hand experience of the Orange Pi so I couldn't say for sure. Supermodel runs on a Raspberry Pi 4 but not terribly well, and much better on a Pi5, but still not perfectly. It depends on the demands of each game.

There are some cone games available from the Android play store but nothing official that I can find. It might be possible to play a home console or arcade version via a Retroarch emulator on your phone though.

You can change the resolution in the `Supermodel.ini` file. On Raspberry pi that would be located at `/opt/retropie/configs/arcade/supermodel3/Config/Supermodel.ini` or `/opt/retropie/emulators/supermodel3/Config/Supermodel.ini`

Not that I'm aware of. But that would be something you should ask of the Supermodel devs though.

@@widge i asked,they said they wont do it and prefer someone to fork it.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer. You should ask the Supermodel devs that question, but I suspect it might not be a straightforward task.

You need to configure retroarch to apply an overlay image of a border over the top of the game. Information on how to do this is available in the RetroArch documentation at docs.libretro.com/guides/libretro-overlays/ The basic sinden border overlays are installed with this utility, so you have something to start with, but later on you might want to use bezel artwork with borders baked in as your overlays. Which is what has been done in Barebones, the Pi4 Lightgun image made by the Sinden Discord community.

@@widge cheers will check it out tomorrow when off work, currently converting a old arcade 1up cabinet with a pi4 got it working with all my arcade etc roms just wanted to see what it would be like with sinden, tried the barebones 9.1 on a seperate sd card and this work but it shrinking the ps1 image horizontally to put bezzels either side of image, will have to read up and have a mess about tomorrow

@nbkicker7665 barebones was made with 16:9 screens in mind. I have a conversion tool to make it compatible with a1up 5:4 screens and 4:3 screens. Check ruclips.net/video/nP4XE7SBvWA/видео.html

@@widge cheers at work will check it out later tonight / tomorrow when off

@@widge thanks for all your help, followed yr guide and its working perfect now

Not without issue. There are plenty of issues as seen in the video.

From EmulationStation, press F4 on your keyboard to get to the command line. When you've finished type either "exit" or "emulationstation" to go back to ES.

@widge thank you soo much! Travel Rn here wanting some nostalgia

Scott, no disrespect, but it's fairly common knowledge that you have no real love for the laserdisc game genre, meanwhile hypseus seems to have passion for them, introduces new features and is hugely portable. I can customize the control code and compile hypseus on my Anbernic RG351P in no time. I can run it on my PC and on my Playstation Classic. It's not a popularity contest, it's a usability contest. If that ties games to the engine, no issues from me.

@NoWayBackToOz except you fixed my issue with laserdisc games! You have an actual game, not just a movie you press buttons while watching! And I can't run it. 😢 BTW, I totally reworked the janky/horrible Singe build system. You should be able to compile it wherever you need now.

It's still in progres and is coming along, but slowly. Making a shooting game is a lot more work than usual hypseus/singe standard interactive film that usually gets churned out. There's no framework, but I'm making a tool to make the job a bit easier and more accessible for others while I'm at it. The most time-consuming part of it all though, is the mapping of hitboxes for all the targets. Soooo time consuming. I have to fit in the time around the rest of my life and also find time for sanity breaks. My youtube output has dropped dramatically too unfortunately. Thanks for your interest, the project is very much still alive, but will take some time. :)

@@widge​​⁠take your time my friend, I'll look forward to it in the future.

It's ok sorted it.

I'm sorry to hear that. I'm afraid that I don't know what else to try at this moment. It's been a while since I tried N64 and there has probably been a lot of change to retropie since I made this video. I recommend checking the retropie forums to see if there are answers there, I'm sure there will be as N64 is a popular system.

Thank you Scott. I'm glad you like it, I took your desire for variety to heart. When I wrote it I tried to avoid anything Hypseus specific in the hope that it could be played in regular Singe as well. But I'm afraid I haven't been able to get it to run in Singe so far. So I've probably done something wrong!

Thank you so much. In really glad you enjoyed it. 😄

It should be. The bezel isn't the important part, it's the border. In barebones the border is incorporated into the bezel overlay image. One of the things the conversion does here is replace the config references to the overlay images with reference to a bezel-less border image. Notice the end result still has a border.

@@widge That did the trick! Thank you very much! You are the master!

Erm, I'm gonna have a stab, but I think it's Minesweeper ?

@@NoWayBackToOz yeah that, but.. its kinda strange? And the channel is full of some old fashioned games that i havent seen before, yet it got in my recommendeds. Channel's author does a great job making videos even though it seems he has an average of only 200 views a vid

@@fraunsberg Ah, so you were commenting on RUclips algorithms sending you here, rather than the content? This is a great channel for obscure emulation content feeds.

@@NoWayBackToOz yeah!

Thanks. It's good to see that RUclips is recommending me to new people after all. i rarely see videos from small channels in my own feed, and the impressions are needed in order to grow. I hope you enjoy it here.
