Integrate Daphne Emulator back into the Retropie Script for Ubuntu

[DirtBagXon]

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

Reinstalled:

retropie.pkg

pkg_origin="source"
pkg_date="2021-09-14T20:01:46+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=""

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:

Immediately after install completed successfully:

pkg_origin="source"
pkg_date="2021-09-14T20:20:38+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=""

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.

Just so I don't miss something, pastebin has size restrictions, so:

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

From ~/RetroPie-Setup Folder:

pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $ git -C /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup log -1 --format=%cI -- /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus.sh
pi@retropie:~/RetroPie-Setup $

Nothing...

Because it isn't merged yet....

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:

$ [hypseus-3] git -C /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup log -1 --format=%cI -- /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/emulators/hypseus.sh
2021-09-12T15:27:09+01:00
$ [hypseus-3]

@mitu

Ok, makes sense. So all will be cool when it's merged.

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.

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.

@dirtbagxon Fantastic! Thanks for your support!
