      Just wanted to update for those in the future - I ABSOLUTELY GOT THIS WORKING FLAWLESSLY! I was able to get it compiled with the launcher just for anyone else who reads this.

      Thanks so much exarkuniv for going out of your way to help and give such specific direction. I really can't thank you enough.

      I'm curious... what's the process for creating an install script for the retropie project? Just off the top of my head, this and the Ultima VI engine 'Nuvie' I feel would be good candidates to be added. I'd love to give back and that seems something mroe than doable with the right background knowledge.

        @romhackfanatic A port (or any other emulator) is installed through a scriptmodule - an install/configuration script that's part of RetroPie. You can see the existing ports' scripts in the project's repository here.

          This maybe a dead end but does anyone use a proper Linux machine and have the standalone desmume emulator up and running? I know we have drastic and that works very well but I'm just curious if anyone has messed about with that version of desmume? I'm just wondering as if it's 32bit it may even be possible to run with box86?

              @retropi19 Latest Raspberry Pi OS updates have added Pulse Audio support, if you have the desktop installed then it will be installed and set as default sound output. Maybe AvP doesn't support it ?

              i have the os fully updated installed sdl also did an rpi-update

              Don't use rpi-update as a regular update mechanism, it's not advised unless you're trying to test the next beta firmware/kernel.

                  I didn't say to install PulseAudio, I just suggested that, by updating your OS, you might have installed PulseAudio and it has taken over as sound output and AvP might not like it.

                      Use the Audio Settings menu in RetroPie and choose your audio output.

                          @retropi19 If the problem is not specific to one Port, I suggest you open a new topic and add some details about your setup, including the info from https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.
