manually update retroarch?
-
There is a way to update the version of RA that's on your machine through the menus, but it's still dependant on the version of RA that RetroPie has available. To my knowledge.

@tobas it looks like there's an open PR and some movement as recently as 10 days ago: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2853 🙏
-
@tobas No idea if it works on anything but a pi4..but you first have to manually install retropie from the retropie pi4 branch script..which is not done. Then delete the retropie-setup folder, clone the repo where the Pull Request link posted above comes from, change the retroarch build script from 1.7.9 to 1.8.1, and install it. If you don't know how to do any of that, I suggest waiting.

@Darksavior darn. okay

@Keltron3030 man I wish they would just let us test it.

@tobas Be sure to ask him tomorrow nov8 5pm est. Retropie AMA https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/

@Darksavior I can answer it now :-) (this reply is not directed at you btw). It's not about us trying to making it difficult for people testing of course - users are free to check out code - but it does require some git knowledge.
People can test now, but there's little use asking people to test stuff or releasing an image when we have known issues to sort out. We would just be flooded with issues we are already working on etc.
I hope noone expects an release date for rpi4 version in the ama as my answer will be the same as last time. ;-)

@BuZz I guess you guys aren't setup for automated nightlies like the lakka guys.

@Darksavior It's a different beast (in regards to the way it is built and is shipped) - but i am still doing weekly images. However we use a different development model.
I can tell you the dev branch will be merged back to master soon and then we will look into doing an alpha image for rpi4 (and some beta buster images for rpi1/2/3).

@BuZz is there anyplace one can find somewhat simple instructions to do this?
