Raze
Raze is a fork of Build engine games backed by GZDoom tech and combines Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, Redneck Rampage, Shadow Warrior and Exhumed/Powerslave in a single package. It is also capable of playing Nam and WW2 GI.
“Another day another corpse.” Caleb from Blood.
This system scrapes metadata for the “ports” group(s) and loads the raze set from the currently selected theme, if available.
Grouped with the “ports” group of systems.
Quick reference
- Emulator: Raze
- Folder:
roms/raze/ - Accepted ROM formats:
.raze
BIOS
No Raze emulator in Batocera needs a BIOS file to run.
ROMs
Place your Raze ROMs in /userdata/roms/raze/.
Each game needs a .raze file to tell Raze 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, otherwiser files will not be found or game will not start, for CON files do not add the full path but relative to the main file).
eg.:
/userdata/roms/raze/Blood - Cryptic Passage.raze (make it easy to scrapper)
/userdata/roms/raze/blood/BLOOD.RFF (main game data)
/userdata/roms/raze/blood/cryptic.zip (add-on data)
/userdate/roms/raze/blood/music/blood02.ogg to blood09.ogg (music data - expects to find it in the same directory as the game's main files or in a /music/ sub-folder of it - mudic files named track02.ogg, track03.ogg, etc are supported but are deprecated, prefer to use the game name instead)
- Music files:
- Blood: blood02.ogg to blood09.ogg
- Exhumed: exhumed02.ogg to exhumed19.ogg
- Redneck Rampage/Route 66: redneck02.ogg to redneck09.ogg
- Redneck Rampage: Rides Again: rednecksides02.ogg to redneckrides09.ogg

Note: The GOG distribution of the Redneck Rampage Collection does not feature the soundtrack as a loose collection of OGG files. Instead, an Disc Image is provided in the form of a BIN+CUE pair, with the BIN file named REDNECK.gog (or RRRAGAIN.gog) and the CUE file named REDNECK.inst (or RRRAGAIN.inst). The Steam distribution of Redneck Rampage does not feature the CD soundtrack at all, in any form. It is possible to convert the BIN/CUE to .ogg again with https://github.com/hansschmucker/CueToOgg Just copy the .gog and .inst to the CueToOgg root folder and execute CueToOgg.exe, wait until the extract process finish. * Use the same files for Redneck Rampage Rides Again

Launch Game
When launching a game, if it has an add-on associated, it will be required to select between the main game or the add-on:
Saves
Save location saves/raze/<game>.<save game extension>
Emulators
Raze
Raze configuration
Standardized features available to all cores of this emulator: raze.videomode, raze.padtokeyboard
Controls
Here are the default Raze's controls shown on a Batocera Retropad:
Troubleshooting
Game does not launch: - Check logs files es_launch_stderr.log and raze.log - Make sure all files are available at roms/azure - Make sure the .raze launch file is setup correctly
- Check the case sensitive
- Check the use of FILE, FILE+ and CON
- Reset system files: delete files from /userdata/system/configs/raze/* and /userdata/saves/raze/*
Script error “raze.pk3:menudef.txt” line 815: Float expected, got 0.5 If the Raze engines does not find the files specified by the .raze file, it will scan the whole shared folder to find them, so it could wrong set a file that could be stored out of roms/azure folder, and will prevent the game to launch correctly. Check the /saves/raze/grpcrccache.txt and remove the line that points to files that are not stored into /roms/azure path. https://github.com/batocera-linux/batocera.linux/issues/7123
