lr-PPSSPP 1.16 or PPSSPP 1.16 --For the RetroPie?

duglor

How long does it usually take before an update on ppsspp. appears on retropie? standalone or lr .for example the other day it was updated to 1.16. I haven't seen the update yet for the pie. Or if there is one , can anyone point me to it?

Quite a while, Retropie even at one stage had to briefly regress back I think due to a problem specific to raspberry pi.

You can install @ExarKunIv 's really good unofficial scripts:- https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

One version is a Dev build of ppsspp, you could edit this line to aim at the 1.16 build if you don't want a bleeding edge Dev build:-

rp_module_repo="git https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git master"

I haven't tried myself for the 1.16 build but it should work.

@retropieuser555 Thank you.

@sleve_mcdichael In fact, sadly , I do need help with this. It's the only thing i'm looking for, not all the other emulators that are in the package. But yes, I once got an emulator this way, but that was a long time ago and I'm an old 60 :D sorry! ;)

@duglor basic instructions are outlined on the project page for RetroPie-Extra:

https://github.com/Exarkuniv/RetroPie-Extra

If you already have RetroPie-Extra installed from very long ago, you will need to do the steps in section "updating from the old ZeroJay's repo". Otherwise just the basic git clone method and update will suffice.

For the development builds, just like with the default RetroPie PSP packages, the libretrocore lr-ppsspp-dev script borrows many of the functions from the stand-alone ppsspp-dev, which means you must select both of these to be added from the RetroPie-Extra installer even if you only plan to use the lr- version in actual RetroPie. *(If you're only installing the stand-alone version, you don't need the libretrocore script, but if you're installing the libretrocore at all, then you need both scripts.)

As-is, these will build from the latest master branch. If you want it pegged to a particular version, then you'll need to manually edit the scriptmodules in RetroPie-Extra before installing them to RetroPie:

In the file(s) ~/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules/emulators/ppsspp-dev.sh and/or ~/RetroPie-Extra/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-ppsspp-dev.sh, find the rp_module_repo line referenced above and change master to instead read v1.16.1, or any of the previous versions detailed in https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp/tags.

Find:

rp_module_repo="git https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git master"

Change to:

rp_module_repo="git https://github.com/hrydgard/ppsspp.git v1.16.1"

After this change, run the RetroPie-Extra installer and add one or both scripts.

Then finally, in all cases, you need to go into RetroPie-Setup and actually install the package(s) to your system. RetroPie-Extra doesn't actually "install" the packages themselves, it sort of just "installs the installer" to the setup, so it can be installed from the setup at a later time. Now is that time.
