SRB2 2.2 in retropie?

[Barkers]

Re: Sonic Robo Blast 2
Recently, SRB2 updated to version 2.2. What do I do to install it, as something might have changed?

I know I have to use this, but does it run the most recent version?

I don't think it does, while the source is updated from the upstream repository, the game data (assets) are not. I think the current port (the link you provided) doesn't work as is also, because of this mis-match.

[Barkers]

Will there be an updated version eventually?

[Barkers]

Also, does this mean anything for SRB2K 1.1?

[Barkers]

wait
can I change the asset files to update it?

Probably yes, since the current version is not installable.

What is that ?

Yes, but you'd better wait for an updated package that includes the new version and fixes the installation.

What does that do?

I don't understand ? Yes, I know there's a new 2.2 version for Sonic Robo Blast - it's in the topic title.

[Barkers]

oh, I get it
They didn't change the version in the git part yet

Yes, update meant update the package in RetroPie's installer.

[Barkers]

How can that be done?

[mitu]

One of the developers of the project updates the scriptmodule that installs and configures SRB2 or a PR (pull request) is created by another Github user, containing the necessary changes, and is accepted by the developers.
Something like this.

@mitu
@joolswills joolswills merged commit 6a8ea3a into RetroPie:master
What does this mean?

[mitu]

It means we're one step closer to have an updated SRB2 available in RetroPie. As I said, you'll need to wait a bit for the 2.2 version to be installable and running.

[mitu]

@Barkers you can now install SRB 2.2 from the RetroPie-Setup script. Make sure you update your script first, then install it from the experimental packages section.

[roslof]

@mitu it works perfectly.
Not sure how you are able to contribute to the overall RP project while being such a major voice in the community. Don't go collapsing on us now...

Can also confirm it works on pi 4, thanks mitu
