Do you have a Raspberry Pi? Did you also Install RetroPie on it? Did you install a bunch of good old (PC) games on it? Report how you did it. This thread is related to "The "Judas™ does this run in Wine" thread v1.173" as the Operating Systems of choice for a Raspberry Pi are mostly Linux based.

The goal of this thread is to report how to run PC games on a Raspberry Pi (zero/1/2/3) and serve as a resource for others to reproduce said results. Primarily on RetroPie and preferably for PC games that are or were purchasable on GOG (but all distros and PC games welcome!)

You may ask "Why should I care about this?" Well, a Raspberry Pi is a small, inexpensive ($10-$35) low powered computer that can be used to play many good old games. a PC with i7 3.4GHz, 16GB RAM & GeForce GTX 1080 is very nice for modern games but for running games like Doom2, Descent, or Duke3D it's overkill and the power consumption is probably going to be around 300W-500W (Compare that to a Raspberry Pi running on 2.5W).

To learn more about the Raspberry Pi/RetroPie and how to get started, check these pages:

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/First-Installation

When reporting a game, always include system info (Raspberry Pi model, distro, etc) and any configurations/tricks/workarounds needed to install & run the game. (See example below).

Tools to help run games (found in ‘RetroPie Setup’ which is under ‘RetroPie’ menu):
1) Ports (zdoom, eduke32, dxx-rebirth, etc) – probably the most resource efficient means of getting games to work, but are often for a specific game. Some are full games (like sdlpop, OpenTyrian), others come only with the shareware version (zdoom and eduke32) but can be made to run the full game.

2) ScummVM – Has an expanded library for playing old Point&Click adventure games.

3) Others: (DOSBOX, ResidualVM and other DOS emulators and experimental ports) – your millage may vary.

*4) Wine – It is possible run games like UT99 or Diablo using Wine on Raspbian +with PIXEL UI) but running it performantly is a different matter.

Happy Raspberry Pi gaming!

Just don't come into my shop expecting me to know or care,

Game(s):
Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom (TNT: Evilution, & The Plutonia Experiment)
On a Raspberry Pi 3B
with Retropie 4.1

How to:
1) Install zdoom
2) connect to your RetroPie via network, then copy & past the .wad files:
doom.wad, doom2.wad, tnt.wad, plutonia.wad
into this folder:
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/
Using the Raspberry Pi, you need to Create a .sh script for each new (self-contained) wad file that you added. Let’s use doom2.wad as an example.
3) press F4 to enter terminal and type:
nano /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom_2.sh

4) An .sh file will be created for editing, type:
#!/bin/bash
“/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh” 0 _PORT_ “doom” “/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/doom/doom2.wad”

(^ 2 lines)

5) save (ctrl+o), (change the name if you want) and hit return. If you changed the name also press ‘y’ to confirm.

6) exit (ctrl+x) to exit back to console and enter the command ‘exit’, and the new entry should be visible in the ports menu, if not then restart emulation station. Test it to see that it works correctly.

Notes: It’s important that the .sh file is created in the Raspberry Pi or a Linux system. Attempting to write a .sh file on a Windows system will cause errors when attempting to run the .sh file (due to discrepancies between Linux and Windows formatting).

How to run Heretic, Hexen, and ChexQuest on Retropie via zdoom:
1)make a folder: mkdir /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/heretic)
2) *place the .wad files in a new folder.
3)make a new .sh script:
nano /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Heretic.sh
#!/bin/bash
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 "/opt/retropie/ports/zdoom/zdoom -iwad /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/heretic/heretic.wad" "zdoom"

4)chmod 0755 /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Heretic.sh

5)(save & quit, return to emulationstation).
6) Test the newly added game.

* connect your RetroPie to your network (wired/wireless) and it can be accessed in file explorer:
\\RETROPIE
copy & paste the .wad files there.

To Play Duke Nukem 3D Atomic Edition on RetroPie.

Install eDuke32 via the RetroPie setup menu.
It will install both eDuke32 and the shareware version of Duke3d.
Replace the shareware files of duke.rts and duke3d.grp with the full versions of these files.

Files to be replaced are found here:
/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/duke3d
