@duglor said in Fetching Scumm Standalone 2.8.1 from ____?:

are you saying that if i uninstall what i have for my scummvm..removal option...i can then go to this site and build a version from the source?

Yes.

How would i go about doing this?

You'll have to manually build it as explained in the ScummVM Wiki, skipping the dependencies part since they are already installed by RetroPie.
Alternatively you can modify the scummvm.sh module in RetroPie-Setup sources and change the version for the source installation.

It would be nice if i could just uninstall what i have and then log- in to some site that could automatically download and compile the 2.8.1 binary for me.

That would be super convenient, though I think what you're actually looking for is a Windows system, where this kinds of 'compile from source' options are not needed.

@DjDiabolik said in Input Lag - How can "CHECK" if present in Retroarch core / Standalone emulator?:

anyway for my next arcade kit I was considering buying something similar:
RP2040 Advanced Breakout Board on Aliexpress

Nice. That creates added value to a plain RP2040, pinheaders and Dupont wires. FWIW, here is the non-commercial link with all the tech specs.

Great you have some takeaways/learnings, that's the Raspberry/RetroPie spirit.

PS: The Sanwa's do have a high price tag but I never regret my invest: Mechanical still precise after ~5yrs, no maintainance needed, colors fresh as of the first day (my setup is partially exposed to sunlight during the day).

Normally you'd compile it manually and add it as a separate emulator, but the current version doesn't compile on current RetroPie (Pi3/Pi4). You may wait until the new version of RetroPie (based on the Raspi OS bullseye) is released and the standalone flycast will be installable.
I've started working on a RetroPie module to integrate it, but due to some rendering bugs and the aforementioned incompatibility, I didn't add it to RetroPie proper yet.

@notthesame i got a fix which works, i use a m30 and Start and B and than plug in this is for Dinput for standalone emulators and will keep gamepad active and i can now set out.

This should work for any other 8bitdo

Thanks again😃✌

@webodan I found my own solution in this github post. All it took was adapting his SwitchToKodi script to kill Xorg after emulationstation was dead instead of having a user switch.

The whole problem was the custom config. I had time to reinstall everything and it was the custom config. So yeah there you go.

@shift

They are indeed.

@buzz All good!
With the official script I can compile fine what I
needed!

Run sudo apt-get update && apt-get -y dist-upgrade && apt-get install pulseaudio

@Retro666 you need to learn C++ and recode emulationstation to accomplish what you are trying to do.

@BuZz

Thankyou!
