      Locally it should be placed at $HOME/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/SCRIPT_MODULE_NAME.sh. But if you want to make it part of RetroPie-Setup you have to submit a Pull Request to https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup repository.

            @michaelkirsch sharing here can be a good idea, but you can do as you wish. By the way, just FYI, the man who approves (or not) if your script module will be part of RetroPie-Setup is @BuZz .

                @michaelkirsch some things I noticed at a first glance:

                • some lines are indented with a tab followed by spaces (lines 45, 50 and 58). This should be fixed to spaces only.

                • if your driver is for rpi only, you can make the scriptmodule be shown only on rpi installs using some flags. Example:

                rp_module_flags="noinstclean !mali !x86"
                
                • I think the function remove_kintaropcb should also do those steps to disable the driver (systemctl disable and stop).

                • I also think you should say what exactly that pcb_1.0.0_armhf.deb installs.

                    @meleu two questions. Where should i write what the .deb is doing ? And what program do you use to see if something is only indented or tab ? I use gedit on linux and that doesnt show that

                      Maybe in rp_module_help. You can break lines using \n. Example:

                      rp_module_help="Kintaro Pcb Driver\n\nThis module installs:\n- file1\n- file2\n- file3..."
                      

                      And what program do you use to see if something is only indented or tab ?

                      Mozilla Firefox (look lines 45, 49 and 60):

                      0_1506521317582_bad_indentation.png

                      I use gedit on linux and that doesnt show that

                      I also opened your file with vim editor and noticed those tabs, maybe your gedit is configured to display tabs as 4 spaces.

                            @MichaelKirsch some points

                            • pcb.py into /opt/kintaro could be just the full path: /opt/kintaro/pcb.py. Same thing for kintaro.service.

                            • I can't see why your driver needs doxygen. Is it really necessary?

                            • I'm not sure if it will be part of RetroPie-Setup. Even if not, I think that a scriptmodule is the way to provide an user-friendly way to your customers install/enable your driver. ;-)

                                I don't think I want to include this is RetroPie but as meleu said you can provide it for your users.

                                  @BuZz Is there something you suggest I should do different? I would love to get some feedback from you as you're experienced with user friendly services.
