      Is there a tutorial around for how to do this on the Pi? A list of known working Ports arranged in order of difficulty might be nice too, but could be asking too much.

      System Config: Retropie 4.4 with full desktop, RPi 3B, 256gb SD, 5v 2.1A 5,200 mAH USB battery. EasyMSX controller mounted with Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (non touch). Also running 4.6 on a 4gb Pi 4 serving as my primary desktop computer now.

          Most open source projects list the build instructions at their GitHub repository. In most cases you would clone the repository to your pi and then follow the steps listed to successfully build the source code. This is something I have gotten into recently and have successfully built a number of source ports (openrct2, openra, vcmi, dhewm3) on my raspberry pi. Is there a specific project youre trying to build? I would be glad to share what I have learned so far.

            Nothing specific yet, but there are some prospects.
