Fofix error: OpenGL not available

[wonx]

I tried installing fofix in my rpi3 retropie machine. I started by running the RetroPie-Extra script and then installing fofix in retropie-config. Apparently, it went well.

Now I want to start it, from the command line (I don't see any menu entry in emulationstation), and I get the following errors:

So I tried installing the experimental OpenGL drivers and it almost crashed my whole system (it kept rebooting and showing nothing on the screen), so I disabled it.

Is this a known issue? Should I have done something differently?

Thanks in advance.

fofix should be in the ports section in retropie and not in a menu entry it self.
plus fofix is not working anymore,try it in an older retropie with jessie core.

[wonx]

Oh, ok, I didn't look in the ports section.

Any plans on making it work again? I am using jessie, by the way.

[symbios24]

Try it in Strech but its not going to work there also,There is a list of non working games since jessie im waiting for zerojay to fix them some time now

[zerojay]

I would love to have these fixed but I don't know how to do so. Someone else is going to have to figure it out because I've banged my head on it so so many times for so very long and have gotten nowhere.

[symbios24]

no worries we will figure it out one day :)

[symbios24]

There is a solution for Openxcom i just did not figure out how to add it to the script etc.

when you have time you can add it.

FoFix is no longer a part of Raspbian in buster, so this will require a rewrite of the scriptmodule to get working again.
