@mitu @BuZz @Efriim I finally got it working! :D

local bin_file local bin_files local default local id local index local version ... some other code ... for index in "${!bin_files[@]}"; do default=0 [[ "$index" -eq "${#bin_files[@]}-1" ]] && default=1 # Default to the last item in 'bin_files'. version="${bin_files[$index]}" version="$(echo $version | cut -d'_' -f 2)" addEmulator "$default" "$md_id-$version-$id" "godot-engine" "$md_inst/${bin_files[$index]} --main-pack %ROM%" done

So it seems like the error had something to do with the index variable (previously it was named i). Either it needed to be initialized as a local variable or the script didn't like that it was called i... I really don't know. But I got it working :)

Another thing that I found and maybe it's worth mentioning (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that when I run:

sudo ./retropie_packages.sh godot-engine configure

the config file:

/opt/retropie/configs/godot-engine/emulators.cfg

seems to just add the new stuff on top of the previous configs that were already there. I mean, it doesn't delete the file and creates it again with the new configs.

Shouldn't "deleting the old file and creating a new one" be the "correct" thing to do?

Thanks! :)

@ziggurat I've managed to install ok, but login doesn't seem to work. Could you advise on how to login with usr/pqd or with code? Thank you!

@cyperghost Glad to hear but the Jazz Jackrabbit scriptmodule is not ready yet. Since i managed to find out how to create a scriptmodule it will be a lot quicker to get it done. :-)

I will very soon begin to create the scriptmodule for Jazz Jackrabbit, but first i will make a pull request and then release it on its own page for manual cloning from its github page.

@mitu Thank you so much. You were right. I had mixed line endings from editing it on Windows. It install and runs. It runs really slow on the Pi, but I'm sure I'll figure that out.

@hhromic I have changed my script module to include the sources_superflappybirdsfunction as you have suggested. I'll also set it up under the ports folder.

I am hoping to get the game added to zerojay/RetroPie-Extra repo, once it is working well.

According to this process inspection, it worked :)

I have heard about distcc but I have never looked into it in the details, I have to study it :)

@paradoxgbb thanks for reporting back verbatim. Did I get it right that the retropie provided binary does work well? (I assume yes, as the binary [1] relates to the lr-scummvm git from 2021-12-27, it runs ScummVM 2.1.1 IIRC)

[1] https://files.retropie.org.uk/binaries/buster/rpi4/kms/libretrocores/lr-scummvm.tar.gz

The diablodiab hit-and-miss results leave me somewhat unsatisfied, but I can not put research at this atm. FTR: I am on RA 1.9.7, GCC 8.3 and for me (as stated earlier) the build of 9703372cc8 runs fine on a RetroPie 4.7.19/Rpi4.

@meleu you are the best! I will test when I return from my trip!

I want to create a scriptmodule for OpenBOR to add version 6315. I see the flag rp_module_id="openbor" that makes the module visiable into script screen. To avoid confusion I want annother name like rp_module_id="openbor_6xxx but want to use the old pathes.

Now all instances of $md_id, $md_config... uses the name that is given by rp_module_id so how to change names? I can include a function strip () { }that sets internal variables to openbor but this is not good code. So how to achive this?

Again: the goal is to use one config directory and one directory that contains several versions of OpenBOR.

Besides thank you BuZz for the platforms flags, I may exclude 6xxx for rpi1.
Is there a dedicated WIKI about script modules?

yeah tried that a few days ago. It was still looking at the old path for some extra files (digital audio if i remember). I presumed the defaults are each set as full paths , instead of relative paths of the data folder.
Its also possible i did something wrong so ill try again tomorrow

@BuZz I thought maybe because nano is a linux text editor it would auto convert EOL.
But anyway, there is an option in notepad++ for EOL conversion so I've just set it to UNIX. I'll give it a try after Kodi is done importing my library.
Thanks for the help
