SRB2 2.2 in retropie?

Barkers

Re: Sonic Robo Blast 2
Recently, SRB2 updated to version 2.2. What do I do to install it, as something might have changed?

I know I have to use this, but does it run the most recent version?

I don't think it does, while the source is updated from the upstream repository, the game data (assets) are not. I think the current port (the link you provided) doesn't work as is also, because of this mis-match.

Barkers

Will there be an updated version eventually?

Barkers

Also, does this mean anything for SRB2K 1.1?

Barkers

wait
can I change the asset files to update it?

Probably yes, since the current version is not installable.

What is that ?

Yes, but you'd better wait for an updated package that includes the new version and fixes the installation.

I don't understand ? Yes, I know there's a new 2.2 version for Sonic Robo Blast - it's in the topic title.

Barkers

oh, I get it
They didn't change the version in the git part yet

Yes, update meant update the package in RetroPie's installer.

Barkers

How can that be done?

mitu

One of the developers of the project updates the scriptmodule that installs and configures SRB2 or a PR (pull request) is created by another Github user, containing the necessary changes, and is accepted by the developers.
Something like this.

@mitu
@joolswills joolswills merged commit 6a8ea3a into RetroPie:master
What does this mean?

mitu

It means we're one step closer to have an updated SRB2 available in RetroPie. As I said, you'll need to wait a bit for the 2.2 version to be installable and running.

mitu

@Barkers you can now install SRB 2.2 from the RetroPie-Setup script. Make sure you update your script first, then install it from the experimental packages section.

@mitu it works perfectly.
Not sure how you are able to contribute to the overall RP project while being such a major voice in the community. Don't go collapsing on us now...

Can also confirm it works on pi 4, thanks mitu
