lr-swanstation scriptmodule.

[windg]

I create a script that installs lr-swanstation psx emulator. I use as a base @dankcushions script for duckstation standalone(i hope he don't have problem with that).
It is my first time, so a lot of things maybe it is not correct. So far emulator is working fine, i have test it on Pi3 and Pi4.

Any help to make this script better are welcome!
Thanks.

@windg Thanks dude. Would love to try this one.

i don't have a problem with re-using my original script, but i note you don't have the various option configurations in the original? https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3476/files#diff-d880778e392d50d3ab3a0221e602b72e8639e829fbc30e086f384b1e6042df02L34-L44

as for whether it should be in retropie or not, i guess i'm on the fence as there was all the bad feeling when it was forked, but that's been discussed to death at this point. i don't know if anything has changed since then, but it seems that at least the fork is seeing some further (minor?) development.

Thanks for the recommendations and for let me use the script, i will try to add the configurations. I think you are correct about the bad feeling for this fork. It is better to stay away from the RetroPie packages, i had open a request on the github page and i remove it. If someone want to install it, can do it manual .

@dankcushions Can i give the script for swanstation to the Retropie-Extra here : https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra, so to be more easiy for the user who want this emulator to install it?

[ExarKunIv]

@windg if he's good with it. I'm more then happy to include it.

[dankcushions]

@windg i don’t see why not - i don’t really have a problem with it in retropie either but that’s just my personal view!

[windg]

@dankcushions
Thank you very much sir!

You are free to add it to RetroPie-Extra repo. I have test it on RPi3, RPi4, Pi400 and it's working fine. Thank you too!

[ExarKunIv]

@windg i will do so,

A big thanks to the both of you for this @windg and @dankcushions
