TIC-80 libretro core in RetroPie-Setup?
-
Re: TIC-80 support
Recently tried to get some fantasy consoles on RetroPie. I love having PICO-8 on there and wanted to try adding TIC-80 next. I had trouble building it from source on my rpi4, so talked to some folks in the TIC-80 community who told me there was already a well-supported libretro core working well on the rpi4!
- Could the core be added into the optional packages list in RetroPie-Setup?
- Is that something I could help contribute to as a beginner, or would it be an advanced-level project?

@wawa Assuming the core's source code is hosted on Github, all you'd need to is make a scriptmodule for it, test it to verify it works, and then submit a pull request to the RetroPie-Setup Github repo.
Thankfully, for libretro cores, there are tons of scriptmodules you can use as a reference to write your own; just take a peek in
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/. Assuming you know how to write a .sh file that complies with this style guide (and know how to use Github's pull requests), you should be good to go!
