I'm currently making a new rPi cocktail table. I'll have finished in a week or so and, if nobody's posted instructions before then, will go through the process to remind myself and then post the steps.

At least, can someone please tell me how can I download from zerojay's repository?

Hi. I've been away from RetroPie for a few years. The repository hasn't been touched in that long and likely should not be used as I can't imagine any of it still works. But I'm back. I just bought a Pi4 a few days ago. No promises but I'll try to find time to get stuff back up and running again.

you will be suprised on what still works. i still install RetroPie-Extras on all my builds. most that i want to use still works just fine, but im sure most of it has updates

Lord Vek

Can I hope, then?

I have no idea what you are asking.

Lord Vek

I am a noob and I don't know how to install Beebem in my Retropie from your experimental repository. ie what commands and parameters should I use. I asked in this forum but I didn't get any answer. Can you help? Thanks in advance!

zerojay

@Lord-Vek The instructions for how to use the repository are in the readme in the repository, which is displayed when you go to it on Github.

Lord Vek

You mean here:
https://github.com/zerojay?

The standalone beebem or the script inside the RetroPie-Extra-unstable/scriptmodules/emulators?

Lord Vek

I made a try for the standalone beebem. I used the command sudo ./configure --prefix=$HOME/test --enable-econet

There is some activity... Then I get this message:

*** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for the
*** exact error that occured. This usually means GTK+ is incorrectly installed.
configure: error: mypkgname 0.1 needs GTK+ 2.2.0

What should I do?

zerojay

My repository is found at https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.

Lord Vek

Thanks for the answer. I will try to install it tomorrow if I find the time.

Lord Vek

Hello again!

I am sorry to bother you, but I don't see the beebem in your link's repository. Help?

It looks like I moved it into the unstable repository (https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra-unstable) as it wasn't working as hoped. More info in the repository's README. I haven't touched it in ages so I don't know what state it is in right now.

Lord Vek

Yes, that was my question at the beginning. I asked how can I install something from that repository. What commands should I use from the Retropie, to install beebem. Can you please help me, because I am a noob?
