Ok, I have just figured this.

 

It is a limit of the 32bit version.

 

The file will need to be split on 32bit systems, only 64bit system builds can handle files over 2Gb.

 

Confirmed on a 32bit Debian install.

 

Fix applied to 32bit linux in repository.

 

This will be less of an issue when the aarch64 builds are standard.

Thanks, so I just need to find the ffmpeg settings that creates a file under 2GB?

I was thinking (Hoping!) this might work...

ffmpeg -i FaI.mp4 -an -qscale:v 4 -b:v 6000k -vf scale=1920:1080 -codec:v mpeg2video fireandice.m2v

Or I figure out how to get ffmpeg to split them but that would need a framefile edit too?

I am afraid so, I am not certain that 1080p content at that bitrate will run smoothly without full KMS, so I would more aim for 720p, maybe.....

Correct, I have not run through splitting files, but it is all about the frames. Karis & Poiu are probably our experts here.

 

mediainfo --Inform='Video;%FrameCount%' fireandice_01.m2v

mediainfo --Inform="Video;%Duration%" fireandice_02.m2v

ffmpeg -i fireandice.m2v -acodec copy -vcodec copy -vframes 65500 fireandice_01.m2v

I have played with above commands to limit number of frames in total.

 

But I couldn't find a clean way in ffmpeg to start from a particular frame for the second _02 file.... you have to deal in start times and key frames, not the same.....

 

There is a document to be written here

Just uploading a 1.46GB version to test using...

ffmpeg -i FaI.mp4 -an -qscale:v 4 -b:v 6000k -vf scale=1280:720 -codec:v mpeg2video fireandice.m2v

I will look into splitting files but I am sure I will run out of talent way before you!

[xxOToTOxx]

 

 

@312BhP - I have pushed a fix that should allow the larger files on 32bit linux systems. Grab the latest push on the RetroPie branch.

 

This only affected 32bit linux platforms.

 

The Windows port is opening > 2Gb files without issue thus far tested.

This change may have unintended consequences elsewhere, so if you could do a complete test on Daphne games also, that would be useful.

 

I haven't seen any issues, but the more testing the better. Thanks.

 

Update:

• There was some question on the Windows port handling m2v files over 2Gb.
• I have tested using a 2.5Gb Cobra Command 4K conversion Daphne m2v video file and a 3Gb Singe m2v file. 
• The Windows port does not have issues with files over 2Gb in Windows 10 (64bit).
• I no longer have a 32bit version of Windows to test.

Had a play with freedomfighter and jack tonight and seem to have a problem where once I die in game (Which happens quickly!) it just starts looping all the different death scenes and needs restarting to work again.

 

I did read on the first page someone else having a similar issue, is this something you have come across please @xxOToTOxx

I know the change in the codebase that is causing this, it's related to a 32bit <=> 64bit interoperability. Unfortunately, without it most of the main Singe games have timing issues on 64bit so I can't revert.

 

The games that are having issues are all later fanmade games using the same underlying old LUA framework it appears, so I believe this needs to be fixed in the game framework. I haven't seen the issue in other titles. I am seeing it in Singe 1 jack, dragon, freedomfighter and starblazers. Seems to have been fixed in later Singe 2 ports.

 

I haven't had as much time recently to look on these, but hopefully fixes will be pushed to: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus_singetwo_data

 

[312BhP]

Thanks, those are the 4 I have just tested.

 

I am currently going through your singe 2 repo and testing them all one by one.

[xxOToTOxx]

No longer needed.

 

Hopefully looping death scene fix in: https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus_singe_data

Regarding TimeGal and TimeGalv2, am I right in using the same m2v and ogg file for both and should there be any visual differences when comparing them to each other using the files from the repo please?

Well original 'timegal' will use the original video and all other files supplied with Singe 1 Time Gal: https://archive.org/details/singev1-time-gal

 

'timegalv2' will need you to convert the video from Singe2 version on archive.org and combine with files on the singe2 repo above. They are different games with different video and overlays.

 

The 'timegal' on the repo above is a copy of 'timegalv2' - that is really for people who only want the new version v2 called 'timegal' - confusing I know but that was my mindset at the time......

 

Regarding 'freedomfighter' - I never really got that working correctly I don't think. So if you have success in level succession let me know

 

[xxOToTOxx]

You could also get original Time Gal and Ninja Hayate from here: https://mega.nz/#!hmhRQC7I!0EXghHIMKzPT1aVpyYCuZX0QHChVzkgnFrB4WSatDdo

The repo folders are much tidier which is why I tried them but I guess to have a true Timegal v1 I will use the one you uploaded to Archive.org

Ninja Hayate is there too if you want it: https://archive.org/details/singev1-hayate

Yes - from archive.org as always

 

Although I think this may have been removed, so you may have to find the .mp4 elsewhere.

 

Or try this torrent: https://1337x.to/torrent/4876774/Daphne-SINGE-Dragon-s-Lair-2-Enhanced-Laserdisc/

The frames in the video are:  

mediainfo --Inform='Video;%FrameCount%' dl2e.m2v

Really? Did you change any settings ? Can you post your 

game.cfg

Also are you running on aarch64 full 64bit or 32bit userland ? Run

 

file /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/daphne.bin

Assuming this is RetroPie.....

Didn't change anything no, getting the info now.

Just tested and played with deaths first few levels on 64 and 32bit, I am not seeing this issue.

 

Can you explain where it occurs exactly....

 

 

Also on the pi:

sudo apt-get install mediainfo

 

Then run this on the converted .m2v file:

mediainfo --Inform='Video;%FrameCount%' dl2e.m2v

 

EDIT: I have pushed a new dl2e/main.singe into the repo too, I can't replicate it, but have put same fix as previous - can you try it.

After the first death it just starts playing them over and over.

 

mediainfo --Inform='Video;%FrameCount%' dl2e.m2v
36605

I created the dl2e.m2v using the file from the torrent and this command...

ffmpeg -i dl2e.mp4 -an -qscale:v 4 -b:v 6000k -codec:v mpeg2video dl2e.m2v

Interesting... I get `36910`

 

I am missing something here....  So fix in repo probably won't do anything.....

 

I need to check the video I got you to download...... This was one of the first I did, and I haven't touched since.

 

EDIT: OK, apologies it looks like I used some other source video.... However I can't remember which one it was.

 

I will see if I can figure but most probably a Karis revision that may no longer be available.....

 

If you still have the Karis one from before, copy the .mp4 to the Pi and run the mediainfo --Inform='Video;%FrameCount%'  command on it, to see if it matches 36910
