Hypseus Singe is a fork and SDL2 version of Daphne and Singe.

A program to play laserdisc arcade games

Installation Guide

If you are using Barebones 9, then Hypseus is preinstalled and you need not follow this guide.

First install hypseus-singe per the github instructions (https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe/blob/master/src/3rdparty/retropie/RETROPIE.md)
Then download the game folder from the hypseus_singe_data github (https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus_singe_data/tree/master/00-singe1)
Rename the folder by adding .daphne after it and put that folder into your /roms/daphne folder.
Then add your .m2v and .ogg files into the /cdrom subfolder within the game folder. Make sure to check the <gamename>.txt file to ensure you have the correct .m2v and .ogg files and path; the names & path should match.
Then create a <gamename>.commands text file and add a single line with the parameters for the sinden gun & borders. Just add the line -blend_sprites -manymouse -x 800 -y 600 -sinden 5 w, or for HD versions of the games use -blend_sprites -oversize_overlay -sinden 10 w instead to prevent audio sync and crosshair alignment issues.
Save the file with the correct gamename (i.e. maddog2.commands) and add it to the game folder.
Then run from the daphne menu.

Left shoulder button on gamepad also exits game

Hypseus ports lack the 2-player features of the arcade originals

Also note, platoon seems to be the only game where you need to convert the .mp4 file to separate .m2v & .ogg files with ffmgeg, see directions on the github. Platoon is also the only game where the .m2v & .ogg files are saved in the root gamefolder and not the /cdrom subfolder.

Enjoy!

+* First install hypseus-singe per the github instructions (https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe/blob/master/src/3rdparty/retropie/RETROPIE.md)
-ActionMax was ported to Singe, but up until now, it was unplayable on 32-bit Retropie.
+* Then download the game folder from the hypseus_singe_data github (https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus_singe_data/tree/master/00-singe1)
-DirtBagXon (of Hypseus Singe fame) has put together a Singe implementation that runs ActionMax on the 32-bit Retropie allowing all five games to be played.
+* Rename the folder by adding <code>.daphne</code> after it and put that folder into your <code>/roms/daphne</code> folder.
+* Then add your <code>.m2v</code> and <code>.ogg</code> files into the <code>/cdrom</code> subfolder within the game folder. Make sure to check the <code><gamename>.txt</code> file to ensure you have the correct <code>.m2v</code> and <code>.ogg</code> files and path; the names & path should match.
+* Then create a <code><gamename>.commands</code> text file and add a single line with the parameters for the sinden gun & borders. Just add the line <code>-blend_sprites -manymouse -x 800 -y 600 -sinden 5 w</code>,  or for HD versions of the games use <code>-blend_sprites -oversize_overlay -sinden 10 w</code> instead to prevent audio sync and crosshair alignment issues.
+* Save the file with the correct gamename (i.e. <code>maddog2.commands</code>) and add it to the game folder.

 === Rom Location ===
 Place your ROMs in <code>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne</code>
-=== .Commands Files ===
-In order to get the games working with your Sinden lightgun, you will need to create a <code>[GAMENAME].commands</code> file for each of the five games and place them in the <code>roms/daphne/actionmax</code> folder
-the <code>-border</code> argument value can be adjusted to either thin or thicken the borders (accepted values are 1-10). the <code>-manymouse</code> argument enables ABS mouse input for lightgun usage and is automatically enabled when enabling <code>-border</code> If you are not getting a fullscreen display, you can try adding <code>-ignore_aspect_ratio</code> to the <code>.commands</code> files.
-=== General guidance for creating <code>.commands</code> files: ===
-Use the below command to create all 5 <code>.commands</code> files with the <code>-border 5</code> argument and value (this enables Sinden borders with a thickness of 5, which you can adjust to your liking):
-<code>cd $HOME/RetroPie/roms/daphne/actionmax ; for x in 38ambushalley bluethunder hydrosub2021 popsghostly sonicfury ; do echo "-border 5" > $x.commands ; done</code>
-=== Fullscreen Issues ===
-If you are having issues getting the games to appear in fullscreen you can create <code>.commands</code> files with the <code>-ignore_aspect_ratio</code> argument via the following command:
-<code>cd $HOME/RetroPie/roms/daphne/actionmax ; for x in 38ambushalley bluethunder hydrosub2021 popsghostly sonicfury ; do echo "-border 5 -ignore_aspect_ratio" > $x.commands ; done</code>
-== Startup ==
-When launching a game from Emulation Station (via the Daphne system), press a button to enter the runcommand menu (blue menu).  Choose emulator for ROM - actionmax
-== Additional guidance ==
-=== Exit Keys ===
-<code>ESC</code> on a keyboard exits an ActionMax game
-You may want to map a way to exit the game via a gamepad by adjusting the 3rd value of <code>KEY_QUIT</code> in <code>/opt/retropie/emulators/actionmax/singeinput.ini</code>
-example: for an 8bitdo SN30 wired, the following line would allow the left shoulder button to exit the game: <code>KEY_QUIT = 27 0 5</code>
-There is also a hotkey combo, holding select/coin1 and pressing start. These buttons will also need to be assigned in the <code>singeinput.ini</code>.
-=== Crosshairs ===
-Crosshairs are on by default.  It is not possible to remove these in-game, but you can replace <code>sprite_crosshair.png</code> in the <code>/roms/daphne/actionmax</code> directory with a transparent .png of the same resolution (11x11 pixels).
-=== Gamepad Use ===
-For those who prefer to play with a gamepad, you can also map the trigger by changing the 3rd value of <code>KEY_BUTTON3</code> in <code>/opt/retropie/emulators/actionmax/singeinput.ini</code>
-example: for an 8bitdo SN30 wired, the following line would allow the left trigger button to start the game and shoot: <code>KEY_BUTTON3 = 32 0 7</code>
