More Ports

@mitu so only in the one installed?

mitu

@residentjim Is there something you'd like to do specifically ? RetroPie has specific packages for PI0/1 and Pi2/3, just like the images provided (which are based on Raspbian Lite) so taking a Pi2/3 installation and putting it in a Pi0/1 will not work.

BuZz

If you are confident with the commandline, you can do an install on a rpi2/3 that will work on the rpi0/1 by forcing the platform.

eg

sudo __platform=rpi0 ./retropie_packages.sh

Also to note: rpi0/1 code will also run on a rpi2/3 but won't be optimised and will be slower. rpi2/3 code won't run the on the rpi0/1

I'm not Buzz, but as someone that's created a lot of the ports out there... you're asking for a lot. It would probably help if you took a shot at trying to create one yourself based off of those already in RetroPie.

i was not talking to you zerojay ,if i knew from scripts i would already did by now. anyway thanks

Any progress to add this ports?

The names are with the apt-get command eg: apt-get simutrans

openarena needs this extra things under to be done:

wget http://www.berryterminal.com/dl/ioquake3_99.1.36-rpi01_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i ./ioquake3_99.1.36-rpi01_armhf.deb

all the other ports under can be installed with apt-get

Any luck in adding this ports i suggested?

@residentjim

Please refrain from bumping posts. You've made your requests known and anyone who would have been interested in adding these particular ports has most probably seen this thread already. You didn't like his answer, but @zerojay was actually offering you the most effective solution you're likely to receive. If you take a look at the existing script modules, you'll notice that it's very possible and pretty straight-forward to adapt them for other ports with perhaps only a small amount of outside research.

If you hit any snags along the way, it's much more likely that you'll find someone here willing to help you with the work, rather than doing it all for you. Afterwards, you can submit your finished work back to the project directly, or to @zerojay's RetroPie Extra repository. The latter could perhaps be somewhat difficult due to your treatment towards him above, but he is your only other option and is responsible for many great ports himself.

@mediamogul i doubt that zerojay will do anything since its been almost a year that i told him about adding this ports so thats why i made the request here.
