      Hi @ExarKunIv New changes in Xash3d:

      1. 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"
      
      1. 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 :)

          https://www.libretro.com/index.php/libretroretroarch-new-cores/

          Raspberry Pi 3b and 8GB Raspberry Pi 4, both running Retropie 4.7.1 installed from scratch using Raspberry Pi Imager, with wired keyboard, wireless mouse and double arcade joystick attached.

                  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

                          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.

                            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.

                              @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:

                                @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

                                  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.

                                      @Folly ok i tested it on my Pi4 4gb, and it compiled and installed fine. on my end
                                      i did see that it does not make a folder for the bios, so i needed to make a folder for it.

                                      when i tested a rom, it starts with a gray screen and a popup says that it cant start the game due to missing files, but i dont know what files its missing.

                                      i did go into the setting and manually set where to fine the bios, and still same error

                                      UPDATE
                                      i tried a few different versions of the bios and a few differeent roms, and still nothing. just a gray box and a error popup about missing files

                                        Copy cdimono1.zip (or .7z) in (see mame-merged) :
                                        /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS/same_cdi/bios
                                        (Indeed perhaps a good idea to create the directory in the module-script)

                                        The bios has to contain (sha1sum filename) :
                                        d961de803c89b3d1902d656ceb9ce7c02dccb40a cdi200.rom
                                        53360a1f21ddac952e95306ced64186a3fc0b93e cdi220b.rom
                                        5d757ab46b8c8fc36361555d978d7af768342d47 cdi220.rom
                                        fdf8d78d6a0df4a56b5b963d72eabd39fcec163f zx405037p__cdi_servo_2.1__b43t__llek9215.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7201
                                        56d0acd7caad51c7de703247cd6d842b36173079 zx405042p__cdi_slave_2.0__b43t__zzmk9213.mc68hc705c8a_withtestrom.7206

                                        That should work.

                                          @Folly Any suggestions on the initial install of lr-samecdi for me since I can't seem to install it at all?

                                            Not yet,
                                            As @ExarKunIv also uses a 4gb rpi4 it's hard to tell what the problem is.
                                            I assume you use 32 bit OS, right ?

                                            I had the same problem on my Apple M1 running debian11 (aarch64) in UTM.
                                            But manually compiling it worked.
                                            If you are able to compile it manually, then we can see if that works.

                                            instructions are here :
