Suggestions for ports #2

ExarKunIv

Update to
ecwolf.sh Thanks to @sleve_mcdichael, he cleaned up the script a bit more and found when the the latest commit started the problem and got it so it now installs the last commit where there is no error

JimmyFromTheBay

@ExarKunIv Is there any possibility of including bsnes-hd?

https://github.com/DerKoun/bsnes-hd/releases

ExarKunIv

@JimmyFromTheBay I will take a look but I don't see why not

JimmyFromTheBay

@ExarKunIv Also, any chance of this?

ExarKunIv

@JimmyFromTheBay it should be doable

Hi @ExarKunIv New changes in Xash3d:

The location of the files libref_soft.so, libref_gl.so and libmenu.so has currently changed is as follows:

"$md_id/build/3rdparty/mainui/libmenu.so"
"$md_id/build/ref/soft/libref_soft.so"
"$md_id/build/ref/gl/libref_gl.so"

Estrax is currently built from source as a submodule, you no longer need to download it, but copy it to the gamedata folder:

	cp "$md_build/$md_id/build/3rdparty/extras/extras.pk3" "$romdir/ports/$md_id/valve/"
	cp "$md_build/$md_id/build/3rdparty/extras/extras.pk3" "$romdir/ports/$md_id/bshift/"
	cp "$md_build/$md_id/build/3rdparty/extras/extras.pk3" "$romdir/ports/$md_id/gearbox/"

My installation script looks like this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

@ExarKunIv One more request: Arduous (Arduboy emulator). Tons of really fun games on there :)

@ExarKunIv That's awesome, thank you so much for all of your hard work. Can you please remind me how to update RetroPie-Extras?

Thanks.

Can you please remind me how to update RetroPie-Extras?

cd ~/RetroPie-Extra

git pull origin

If you need to update from ZeroJay's repo - first, discard the most recent commit:

git reset --hard HEAD^

Switch to ExarKuniv's new repo:

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

Then pull again from the updated origin:

git pull origin

ExarKunIv

@sleve_mcdichael as always thanks for your help

Retro Arcade Fan

@sleve_mcdichael Thank you as always!

ExarKunIv

a late update
a big thank you for @Folly for getting this one going,

-
lr-arduous - ArduBoy emulator - arduous port for libretro- Installs, Plays, Runs well

he also got going

-
lr-samecdi - Philips CDI - same_cdi port for libretro - Installs, Dont have games to test

for lr-arduous you might want to play around with the shaders to make it alittle bit better

I must be doing something wrong. Or I'm not reading this correctly. I ran all 5 commands and still don't see those 2 emulators under experimental.

@Retro-Arcade-Fan said in Suggestions for ports #2:

You then need to run ./install-extras.sh and select which modules will be copied to your RP-Setup directory, then they should be available in the Setup script.

Retro Arcade Fan

@sleve_mcdichael @Folly @ExarKunIv That worked, thank you. I now see them. Arduous installed fine. But lr-samecdi gives me this error after over an hour:

ExarKunIv

@Retro-Arcade-Fan that's odd since it did install fine for me when I tested before I added it to me repo.

I'll look when in I'm front of my pi again

Folly

@Retro-Arcade-Fan

What kind of raspberry pi do you use and how much ram does it have ?

I will try it on my rpi4-8gb and see if it works.
Edit : I worked without any problems

On my Apple M1 with Debian11 in UTM I had the same problem as you.
Manually compiling worked though, so we have to look further.

RPi4 Model B 8gb / Freecom 2Tb USB3 / Raspberry pi OS/Bullseye+Desktop/gcc10 / RetroPie 4.7.20
