Using Chromium as an "emulator" for Scratch projects
-
I am planning an arcade cabinet build project for a local code club. Some of the young coders have created some impressive games using Scratch and I was thinking that their projects could be showcased on the arcade machine using Retropie. I have RetroPie running on a Pi Zero 2 W. My idea was to use Chromium browser as an "emulator" and html files made using HTMLifier (https://sheeptester.github.io/htmlifier/) as "roms". I've managed to set this up, but have run into a brick wall because enabling the Raspberry Pi GL drivers breaks RetroPie, and without this WebGL cannot be enabled in Chromium and therefore Scratch 3 games will not run!
Does anyone know if there is a way to temporarily enable and disable the GL drivers from the shell, on the fly, without having to do a reboot? Or have I reached a dead end?

No, unfortunately this is cannot be done on the fly - it needs a reboot and thus would 'break' RetroPie's front-end (EmulationStation).
Contributions to the project are always appreciated, so if you would like to support us with a donation you can do so here.
