My fork of RetroPie-Extra, allowing you to install even more ports
-
Some users they have run AetherSX2 from RetroPie, but we don't have yet a script that automate the installation process.
-
@abj If you had the AetherSX2 AppImage downloaded and you were running RetroPie in a desktop environment, you might be able to write a shell script that executes the AppImage, however I don't know if this would work without the desktop, which the RetroPie image does not come with, although you can install it using the setup script. Also, AetherSX2 would technically not be an emulator, because it can't run as one within RetroArch, but rather a port because it is an application launchable from ES via the script.

Well, looks like @ExarKunIv's repo is now dead. In his own words some !@#$%^&* (me) is taking credit for his work (not true, according to my
readme.md: Note: If you see any shell scripts that mention Exarkuniv as their creator, they are his and this project is simply a fork of his. I have added some scripts that I made myself. My scripts have asteriks (*) in front of them.) and to blame me for messing his work up. If people are gonna start harassing me remember that I now maintain RetroPie-Extra and just like @ExarKunIv I can quit working on it if I want.If you're strong
You can fly
You can reach the other side
Of the rainbow... -

It seems the repo is still up, so it's not dead.

They didn't say that. If you wanted just to create some scriptmodule by yourself, then your fork was not necessary - you can just create your own scripts as a separate repo (structured similarly to RetroPie-Extra), without including the ones from @Exarkuniv's repo.
Now, since you've forked their repository, it's assumed you want to modify some of the scripts included there - but usually on open source projects, if you want something included in a project then you can send a patch (PR) to be included. Since @ExarKunIv 's project is still up and running and maintained in large part with @sleve_mcdichael's collaboration, they both asked why don't you submit your modifications to the repo, if you want that included and genuinely want to improve the scripts that are already part of the Extra repo.

I don't think anyone blamed you in this topic for messing anything up - you're just making things up - just like you did in ther other topic where you've made up the fact that you upgraded your OS folllowing some made-up and incorrect instructions from a dubiuous web page (and then removed the link when challenged). I'll say this just once - if this kind of fabrications don't stop, your account will get banned.

@mitu I'm not lying -- see for yourself in his
readme.md. -

Link and paragraph please.
EDIT: I see, I'm sorry for the confusion then.

No it's not dead. And not going to be
I'm just not going to be updating it with anything new till I have a bunch.
Since the one who I'm not naming doesn't pull updates like everyone else when I do update it. (They manualy edit the files maybe they don't know how?) I feel It will cause confusion with who is updating and working on things.
Second that person has not even opened a PR on mine to upload his scripts to mine. So it's in one place for everyone to find it.
And for me it's annoying that this person is pushing his repo at the place where people already know about mine. So again I believe it would cause confusion with everyone who to ask for help
Never once asking if that would be cool with me or not to do this. They did ask how to open a PR but that's it.
When I took over this from zerojay. Even though it was archived I still reached out and asked. Just to make sure he was ok with it (some people don't want their work continued)
So that said I don't care who forks the repo. And makes scripts for it. The more we have the more other people have.
Just the way they are going about it, for me is in poor form.
And I'm not going to get in it here. As I don't want to muddy or sour the forum since it's not the place for that.
Maybe I should of handled it better. (Have personal junk I'm going through)

This post is deleted! -
I deleted the repo because I feel like I don't need it anymore. I'm considering forking @ExarKunIv's repo and making a version designed for RetroPie handhelds, but honestly, I don't really have the time to do that anytime soon.
-
@ExarKunIv Heya. I tried to install lr-ppsspp dev and ppsspp dev standalone from your place and neither installed on my pi 4.7.1. Errors.
Does it need 4.8 or is there another issue at work here do you think?
be well!!

@duglor I already have a issue open that it's erroring out now.
I have not look into it yet.
Also you can just open a new post. You don't have to piggy back off of this post just to get ahold of me
