Here is another suggestion to help speed up AetherSX2 that I discovered today:

@mitu awesome, thanks! It seems pretty silly to attempt to match EXACT versions, since retropie works with latest version anyways. I guess I'll just make my script compare version numbers and if it is < the system I want to replicate, just use the retropie_packages.sh with install_bin. Building EVERYTHING from source and hacking the source parm seems unnecessarily silly.

Ok it is kinda working, it seems I need to do a lot of editing to the github files to make it work nicely with the original retropie install as various default directories are different in this alternative emulationstation.
This isnt as straight forward as I thought it would be lol

@mitu okay I will comment out the sections for the patches and see if it will build with the added lines in your above post. If I run into issues I will post back. Thank you so much for your help

@kactius i think that,s happening cuz the pi3 does not support opengl
i have the old halflife port on my pi3 so i cant test it on that since i have it working fine.

and right now im working with my pi4

Just a quick update. The Steamlink script module was a great help in both the minimal window manager as well as installing Ports.

Thank you! My questions have been answered.

@2Play

That is great.
Welcome back.

Last time I tried, I couldn't get either a controller or a keyboard to work with RGUI. I'll try again. Thanks.

@mitu I got it working with the runcommand now. Only a small visual issue (no progress bar while downloading a game).

But I found a bug in downloadAndExtract, and I opened a pull request :D

@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.
