@pi2user @mitu
I altered the retropie lr-duckstation installer to point to batocera's github that's hosting the binaries. Delete if it's not allowed.

It's ok, not sure why people keep asking that ? It's not like it's malware or copyrighted material (ROMS/BIOS).

Darksavior

@mitu The decision was made to remove the installer so I wasn't sure if it was allowed.

mitu

@Darksavior Even if it's not part of RetroPie-Setup, it's just another user contributed script - like RetroPie-Extras. We don't have a monopoly on what the user is able to install on their own system, though the This file is part of .. is now a bit misleading :).

Darksavior

@mitu I just altered the location to the binaries and nothing else so I didn't want to look like I'm taking credit for creating it. I can remove that whole section if you want.

lr-Duckstation is part of RetroPie-Extras.
it pulls batocera's github. just letting people know

windg

Good news, Duckstation updated recently,maybe the developer it's back to the project.

Clyde

@windg Well, that's interesting. There were several merged pull requests and commits to the repo.

Does anyone know more of this resumed activity by stenzek?

edit: People on Reddit don't have a clue either, the best guess that I read there was, while stenzek himself said that he won't work on DS anymore, he may still accept others' contributions.

Some of the recent commits are his though.

@Darksavior I'm sorry i tried it myself but i just cant get my head around it. I'm having a lot o trouble with psx games on retropie and i am looking for an alternative emulator. I read a lot of duckstation and found your post. How can i Install duckstation on my retropie (Pi4) with that code? I have no clue what to do with it... :(

Copy that code into a file called:

~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-duckstation.sh

...then you can install the lr-duckstation package through the RetroPie-Setup utility under "manage experimental packages."

**OR**

You can install the RetroPie-Extra packages, where that script is included verbatim. Drop into a terminal and use the following commands to clone and install RP-Extra:

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra.git
cd RetroPie-Extra
./install.sh

This will copy a number of additional install scripts, including lr-duckstation.sh, to your RP Setup directory where, again, they may be installed through the RetroPie-Setup utility.
