I’m trying to get Pick Axe Pete for Odyssey2 running in Retroarch.
I found this thread about it:
Odessey2/Videopac trouble in RetroArch’
I downloaded and installed the bios files in /home/wrybread/.config/retroarch/system/. Unlike the poster at that thread, that folder already existed for me, and that directory was already specified in Settings -> Directories -> System/BIOS. I also put the file ecwolf.pk3 there.
When I load the core and then load the ROM, it silently fails.
When I run the command directly I get the error:
retroarch -f -v --libretro /home/wrybread/.config/retroarch/cores/ecwolf_libretro.so "/home/wrybread/.attract/odyssey2/roms/Pick Axe Pete.bin"
[libretro ERROR] Error loading game: Can not find base game data. (*.wl6, *.wl1, *.sdm, *.sod, *.n3d)
[ERROR] [CONTENT LOAD]: Failed to load contentI get the same error for all Odyssey2 roms.
Googling around I don’t see much about that error (just this). I don’t imagine anyone has any advice?
Here’s the full error:
