Eduke 32

• Emulator: Eduke32
• Folder: roms/eduke32/
• Accepted ROM formats: .eduke32

No Eduke32 emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.

Place your Eduke32 ROMs in /userdata/roms/eduke32/.

Each game needs a .eduke32 file to tell Eduke32 how to launch the game, the file need to point to the main game file and add-on file (it's case sensitive and can't have empty lines, otherwise files will not be found or game will not start, for CON files add the full path instead of the relative to the main file).

eg.:

/userdata/roms/eduke32/Duke it Out in D.C..eduke32 (make it easy to scrapper)

/userdata/roms/eduke32/duke/DUKE3D.GRP (main game data)

/userdata/roms/eduke32/blood/DUKEDC.GRP (add-on data)

• EDuke32 allows you to choose between two different hardware accelerated OpenGL renderers, or the classic, warped software mode you grew up with

• EDuke32 has a huge number of new extensions to the game's scripting system, allowing gameplay mods that rival even modern games.

• EDuke32 adds a full-featured console, including Quake-style key bindings, command aliases, advanced tab completion, comprehensive command history, colored text and more
• EDuke32 has hundreds of code rewrites, optimizations and fixes for rare or annoying bugs in the original code

Standardized features available to all cores of this emulator: eduke32.videomode, eduke32.padtokeyboard, eduke32.videomode, eduke32.bezel, eduke32.bezel_stretch, eduke32.hud, eduke32.hud_corner, eduke32.bezel.tattoo, eduke32.bezel.tattoo_corner, eduke32.bezel.tattoo_file, eduke32.bezel.resize_tattoo

Here are the default Eduke32's controls shown on a Batocera Retropad:

• Check logs files es_launch_stderr.log and eduke32.log at userdata/system/logs
• Make sure all files are available at roms/eduke32
• Make sure the .eduke32 launch file is setup correctly
  • Check the case sensitive
  • Check the use of FILE, FILE+ and CON
    • FILE and FILE+ must use the path /roms/eduke32/<gamefolder>/<main file or add-on>
    • CON also use the path /roms/eduke32/<gamefolder>/<con file>
  • .eduke32 files mustn't have empty lines, so delete the empty lines
• As a last alternative, reset system files: delete files from /userdata/system/configs/eduke32/* and /userdata/saves/eduke32/*
