      A quick update. As long as g++ is a symlink to g++-8 and the SDL frontend is used instead of th QT5 frontend, I have a successful build.

          @Unknown I have a successful build. Haven't tried running it yet. It might be this weekend before I get to that.

          I want to test the script installation, and use that for testing how well decaf runs.

                @Unknown Script I have installs the decaf-cli binary. Currently it won't run anything. I have more debugging to do.

                  @gderber Do you mind if I ask you about the progress of decaf once a week? If not that's perfectly fine.

                    @Unknown As it currently stands, the installer will install decaf.

                    Decaf isn't working for me, and the error message is not very helpful. I don't remember exactly what it said, but it was about as helpful as

                    decaf started
decaf exited

                    I've got a few other projects that I'm working on, unfortunately for now, this one is going to the bottom of the pile. I've made available what I have done so far, if you or anyone else would like to work on it and try to get decaf to work, go for it.

                      @gderber Can you give me a copy of the code you have written so far? It would save me a lot of time! :)

                        @Unknown https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gderber/RetroPie-Setup/feature/decaf/scriptmodules/emulators/decaf.sh

                        Here you go. I didn't realize I broke my link from earlier. It's fixed now.

                          @gderber Thanks, so I just try to run this in emulationstation right?

                            @Unknown No, add it to your RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators folder then run retropie_setup.sh select packages, then experimental, then decaf.

                            This will install decaf

                              @gderber At that point does it work with emulationstation? Or do I need to run a terminal command? I probably am going to ask a lot more questions because I've never added an emulator to retro pie before.

                                @Unknown You'll need to use a terminal command. The same one used to setup RetroPie to begin with, sudo retropie_setup.sh

                                  @gderber After it is installed, should I try it with emulationstation?

                                    @gderber Or do I need to edit emulationstation config?

                                      @gderber I just relized that I don't have a computer powerful enough to test this. Good luck getting it to work!
