Openbor 3400 (older openbor) install guide
This is a work in progress, follow at your own risk :)
sudo wget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/RetroPie-OpenBOR-scripts/master/openbor.sh -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor.sh
- Go to retropie setup and install openbor from source.
sudo wget "http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/RetroPie-OpenBOR-scripts/master/OpenBOR - Beats of Rage Engine Selection.sh" -O "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/OpenBOR - Beats of Rage Engine Selection.sh" && sudo chmod a+x /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/*.sh
Place your bare PAK files to /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor/pak
wget http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/RetroPie-OpenBOR-scripts/master/extract.sh && chmod a+x extract.sh
Run extract. (DO NOT use sudo) - do this every time you add new .pak’s
cd && cd ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/openbor && ./extract.sh
download gamepad script:
mkdir -p /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-menu && wget "http://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/RetroPie-OpenBOR-scripts/master/OpenBOR - Ultimate GamePad Setup.sh" -O "/opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-menu/OpenBOR - Ultimate GamePad Setup.sh" && sudo chmod a+x /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand-menu/*.sh

Quit and restart emulation station

Don’t try to launch openbor engine selection from within ES ever, or you get (Engine selection error: can’t make new window at (6, -1) size (17,40)) and system lockup and freeze. Only use it via SSH Putty. You need to use it to write the master.bor.cfg file, only the one ititial time.

I don’t know if this actually helped or not, but it’s what I did
sudo nano OpenBOR\ -\ Beats\ of\ Rage\ Engine\ Selection.sh
Change this:
--menu "There are $((${#dialog_array[@]}/2)) games available\nWhich you want to play:" 16 70 16)
To this:
--menu "There are $((${#dialog_array[@]}/2)) games available\nWhich you want to play:" 25 75 20)
Execute this from SSH instead to see the menu:
./OpenBOR\ -\ Beats\ of\ Rage\ Engine\ Selection.sh
Pick
Now you can launch the games using the entry under ports “OpenBOR - Beats of Rage Engine”
Controls - retroflag gpi
You must update your controls using Controltools/Controls_Updater_menu if you wan’t working controls with Openbor. (Option 1).
