      @johnodon said in Integrate Daphne Emulator back into the Retropie Script for Ubuntu:

      @dirtbagxon Not sure if this will pose any issues, but the ~/.hypseus folder is owned by root however the contents within are owned by pi.

      drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 4096 Sep  9 16:07 .
      drwxr-x--- 11 pi   pi   4096 Sep  9 21:53 ..
      drwxr-xr-x  2 pi   pi   4096 Sep 10 15:32 logs
      drwxr-xr-x  2 pi   pi   4096 Sep  9 16:07 ram
      drwxr-xr-x  2 pi   pi   4096 Sep  9 16:07 screenshots
      
      

      These directories are actually created by the RetroPie helper function mkUserDir()

      mkUserDir "$home/.$md_id/ram"
      mkUserDir "$home/.$md_id/logs"
      mkUserDir "$home/.$md_id/screenshots"
      

      So it appears this function doesn't set ownership on the parent directories correctly within $home: "Creates a directory owned by the current user."

      It shouldn't affect the the installation as data will only be written to the correctly owned child directories. However, it is not as it should be, so I will add a chown -R to the end of the install script to ensure it's all owned by pi.

      You can either grab the latest scripts from the repo (as above) or fix with :

      sudo chown -R pi:pi ~pi/.hypseus
      

      Many thanks for the great feedback.

        Is anyone familiar with the reason that the package, even when up-to-date, still show this in RetroPie-Setup :

        'Update is available'

        update.png

        The installed package version has the correct git tag.

        Is this something I have control over?

          Not really, since the setup script automatically determines if there's an update based on the source location and the locally stored package info (retropie.pkg in the install folder). I can't seem to reproduce the situation though, if I install from source then it shows correctly as up-to-date

            @dirtbagxon is your retropie-setup script up to date? you may want to rebase it to master - quite a few changes have been made to the surrounding functionality that may affect things.

              Thanks for the quick reply guys. I am on the following merge of RetroPie-Setup now:

              commit 202fabd1bf0e0638ca71d09cc6af7e233dc0e059 (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)
              Author: Jools Wills <buzz@exotica.org.uk>
              Date:   Tue Sep 14 06:38:12 2021 +0100
              
                  dolphin - license.txt was renamed to COPYING
              

              I was one commit behind, but testing now still shows as out of date...
              I have had this reported from a couple of other users testing the scripts in the field, so not just me seeing it.

              retropie.pkg shows:

              pkg_origin="source"
              pkg_date="2021-09-14T17:58:55+01:00"
              pkg_repo_type="git"
              pkg_repo_url="https://github.com/DirtBagXon/hypseus-singe.git"
              pkg_repo_branch="RetroPie"
              pkg_repo_commit="327cbd674986b3c93d87beec3da9cec63c05ec57"
              pkg_repo_date="2021-09-11T16:01:00+01:00"
              pkg_repo_extra=""
              

              Which all looks correct.... Hmmm...

              I'll try another reinstall on the new commit.

                Ok, doing all this via terminal: sudo RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

                Still saying there was an update, as per first screen.

                Then Removed, verified the was no /opt/retropie/emulators/hypsesus directory - all gone:

                Went for reinstall:

                Any ideas ?

                  @dirtbagxon Still can't reproduce this. You can debug the script by running

                  sudo __debug=1 ./retropie_setup.sh
                  

                  This will produce a lot of data, but the interesting part (checking for an updated version) will be printed after you select the package from the list, right before the package dialog is shown. Copy the debug info from that part and post it on pastebin.com.

                      Looks like the update check fails somewhere along those lines:

                      ...
                      ++ git -C /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup log -1 --format=%cI -- /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus.sh
                      + local module_date=
                      + rp_dateIsNewer 2021-09-14T20:46:00+01:00 ''
                      + local date_a=2021-09-14T20:46:00+01:00
                      + local date_b=
                      + [[ -z 2021-09-14T20:46:00+01:00 ]]
                      + [[ -z '' ]]
                      + return 0
                      ...
                      

                      What's the output of the next command in your installation ?

                      git -C /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup log -1 --format=%cI -- /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus.sh

                          It's just installed via a curl/wget

                          Ok, makes sense.

                          But why does it work for you ? Did you clone my branch ?

                            Because I've fetched the PR from the RetroPie repository into a local branch:

                              Thanks for the debugging....

                                Hate to derail this convo, but on a side note...

                                @DirtBagXon I hope you don't mind (should have run it by you first), but I asked on the Libretro forums if they would have interest in porting your
                                code to a Libretro core. My post has received a few hearts (including HunterK) but no comments yet.

                                https://forums.libretro.com/t/request-port-hypseus-singe-to-a-libretro-core/34872

                                I don't know if it is even possible but this would allow us arcade Retroarch users to stay with a single emulator and benefit from the usual RA perks (i.e. bezels/overlays).

                                I hope I didn't step on your toes. :)

                                  Nope, not at all.

                                  I did look at the Libretro docs some time ago, but never got around to attempting. I know the libretro Daphne port has audio issues, so hypseus might sort that out too as it's all moved to SDL2.

                                  If someone wants to pick up on that port - I am more than happy to give my blessing.
