Integrate Daphne Emulator back into the Retropie Script for Ubuntu

[mitu]

Sorry first pull request with you guys

No problems, we'll get this sorted out. I'll take a look at the PR and add some comments by tomorrow. But yes, the platforms.cfg additions are not necessary if you wish to use the existing daphne system and rom folder.

platforms.cfg

Thanks @mitu - I've pulled back the platforms.cfg changes now.

I just tested the script (commit a928ebb) on my Ubuntu 21.04 Server (Wayland/Sway) and I can at least report successful launches of Dragon's Lair and Space Ace. Unfortunately, my test box is hooked up only to a monitor at this point so I can't comment on audio.

Looking good!

It has not been accepted into official master branch yet, so depending on how you updated RetroPie-Setup it possibly got cleaned out by the git pull.

The file is certainly there in the branch of the pull request:

https://github.com/DirtBagXon/RetroPie-Setup/tree/hypseus/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus

I think you may have to manually add hypseus.sh and hypinput.ini back into RetroPie-Setup for testing.

[johnodon]

@dirtbagxon OK...no worries. Ijust wanted to make sure it wasn't a code issue on the repo side.

Thanks for the testing :)

Adding this for anyone else who may want to test the current pull request:

Download the Scriptmodule:

mkdir -p /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DirtBagXon/RetroPie-Setup/hypseus/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus/hypinput.ini -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus/hypinput.ini

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DirtBagXon/RetroPie-Setup/hypseus/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus.sh -O /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus.sh

• Go to ES and select Configuration, select RetroPie Setup, or just type sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh
• Navigate to Manage packages
• Select exp experimental packages
• Run down the list, there select 'hypseus'
• Select Install from source

@dirtbagxon Not sure if this will pose any issues, but the ~/.hypseus folder is owned by root however the contents within are owned by pi.

These directories are actually created by the RetroPie helper function mkUserDir()

mkUserDir "$home/.$md_id/ram"
mkUserDir "$home/.$md_id/logs"
mkUserDir "$home/.$md_id/screenshots"

So it appears this function doesn't set ownership on the parent directories correctly within $home: "Creates a directory owned by the current user."

It shouldn't affect the the installation as data will only be written to the correctly owned child directories. However, it is not as it should be, so I will add a chown -R to the end of the install script to ensure it's all owned by pi.

You can either grab the latest scripts from the repo (as above) or fix with :

sudo chown -R pi:pi ~pi/.hypseus

Many thanks for the great feedback.

@mitu

Is anyone familiar with the reason that the package, even when up-to-date, still show this in RetroPie-Setup :

'Update is available'

The installed package version has the correct git tag.

Is this something I have control over?

 

[mitu]

@dirtbagxon said in Integrate Daphne Emulator back into the Retropie Script for Ubuntu:

Not really, since the setup script automatically determines if there's an update based on the source location and the locally stored package info (retropie.pkg in the install folder). I can't seem to reproduce the situation though, if I install from source then it shows correctly as up-to-date

[dankcushions]

@dirtbagxon is your retropie-setup script up to date? you may want to rebase it to master - quite a few changes have been made to the surrounding functionality that may affect things.

Thanks for the quick reply guys. I am on the following merge of RetroPie-Setup now:

commit 202fabd1bf0e0638ca71d09cc6af7e233dc0e059 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
Author: Jools Wills <buzz@exotica.org.uk>
Date:   Tue Sep 14 06:38:12 2021 +0100

    dolphin - license.txt was renamed to COPYING

I was one commit behind, but testing now still shows as out of date...
I have had this reported from a couple of other users testing the scripts in the field, so not just me seeing it.

retropie.pkg shows:

pkg_origin="source"
pkg_date="2021-09-14T17:58:55+01:00"
pkg_repo_type="git"
pkg_repo_url="https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe.git"
pkg_repo_branch="RetroPie"
pkg_repo_commit="327cbd674986b3c93d87beec3da9cec63c05ec57"
pkg_repo_date="2021-09-11T16:01:00+01:00"
pkg_repo_extra=""

Which all looks correct.... Hmmm...

I'll try another reinstall on the new commit.

[DirtBagXon]

Ok, doing all this via terminal: sudo RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

Reinstalled:

retropie.pkg

pkg_origin="source"
pkg_date="2021-09-14T20:01:46+01:00"
pkg_repo_type="git"
pkg_repo_url="https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe.git"
pkg_repo_branch="RetroPie"
pkg_repo_commit="327cbd674986b3c93d87beec3da9cec63c05ec57"
pkg_repo_date="2021-09-11T16:01:00+01:00"
pkg_repo_extra=""

Still saying there was an update, as per first screen.

Then Removed, verified the was no /opt/retropie/emulators/hypsesus directory - all gone:

Went for reinstall:

Immediately after install completed successfully:

pkg_origin="source"
pkg_date="2021-09-14T20:20:38+01:00"
pkg_repo_type="git"
pkg_repo_url="https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe.git"
pkg_repo_branch="RetroPie"
pkg_repo_commit="327cbd674986b3c93d87beec3da9cec63c05ec57"
pkg_repo_date="2021-09-11T16:01:00+01:00"
pkg_repo_extra=""

Any ideas ?

@dirtbagxon Still can't reproduce this. You can debug the script by running

sudo __debug=1 ./retropie_setup.sh

This will produce a lot of data, but the interesting part (checking for an updated version) will be printed after you select the package from the list, right before the package dialog is shown. Copy the debug info from that part and post it on pastebin.com.

Looks like the update check fails somewhere along those lines:

...
++ git -C /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup log -1 --format=%cI -- /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus.sh

+ local date_b=
+ [[ -z 2021-09-14T20:46:00+01:00 ]]
+ [[ -z '' ]]
+ return 0
...

What's the output of the next command in your installation ?

git -C /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup log -1 --format=%cI -- /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus.sh

Nothing...

[DirtBagXon]

Because it isn't merged yet....

It's just installed via a curl/wget

Ok, makes sense.

But why does it work for you ? Did you clone my branch ?

Because I've fetched the PR from the RetroPie repository into a local branch:
