The ppsspp repository is quite large, so a full (shallow or not) clone may exhibit issues due to the amount of submodules and data transferred. If you already have the emulator installed, then there's no point in re-installing it, otherwise try again later on - there's a Github/connection issue and not a RetroPie problem.

@lebonhomme said in Trouble cloning joycond for NS controller:

Firstly it prompts a username and password, making me to create an account on Github

You most likely mis-spelt the repository name/the URL, GitHub will prompt you for user/pass since it thinks you're trying to access a private repository. There's no need to create a user/pass for Github to clone that repository, in fact I just did it and it didn't asked me for user/pass.

So with 4.4, most core and main packages installed, but there were a few that wouldn't. lr-stella, lr-pcsx-rearmed failed to build.

So in short - trying this is a mixed bag. Some things will build. Some things won't.
At least the raspberry pi image is a stable platform, but doing PC builds will always be a forever-forward moving target

Oh, I understand now. I read it again.
