      @michaelkirsch some things I noticed at a first glance:

      • some lines are indented with a tab followed by spaces (lines 45, 50 and 58). This should be fixed to spaces only.

      • if your driver is for rpi only, you can make the scriptmodule be shown only on rpi installs using some flags. Example:

      rp_module_flags="noinstclean !mali !x86"
      
      • I think the function remove_kintaropcb should also do those steps to disable the driver (systemctl disable and stop).

      • I also think you should say what exactly that pcb_1.0.0_armhf.deb installs.

            Maybe in rp_module_help. You can break lines using \n. Example:

            rp_module_help="Kintaro Pcb Driver\n\nThis module installs:\n- file1\n- file2\n- file3..."
            

            And what program do you use to see if something is only indented or tab ?

            Mozilla Firefox (look lines 45, 49 and 60):

            0_1506521317582_bad_indentation.png

            I use gedit on linux and that doesnt show that

            I also opened your file with vim editor and noticed those tabs, maybe your gedit is configured to display tabs as 4 spaces.

                  @MichaelKirsch some points

                  • pcb.py into /opt/kintaro could be just the full path: /opt/kintaro/pcb.py. Same thing for kintaro.service.

                  • I can't see why your driver needs doxygen. Is it really necessary?

                  • I'm not sure if it will be part of RetroPie-Setup. Even if not, I think that a scriptmodule is the way to provide an user-friendly way to your customers install/enable your driver. ;-)

                      I don't think I want to include this is RetroPie but as meleu said you can provide it for your users.

                        @BuZz Is there something you suggest I should do different? I would love to get some feedback from you as you're experienced with user friendly services.
