Did anyone ever support RAINE/EmuDX on Retropie/Retroarch?

I created an initial base module-script with a data-folder for patching and copying the config file.
Awesome, cheers :)
Sadly on reading the thread more closely I noticed that it needs Bookworm and I'm still on Buster and I'm not sure my Pi can handle Bookworm :(
(Whenever I try to read stuff about it to see how to/whether I can update, it's all just ARGLE WARGLE FLARGLE BARGLE and I run away sobbing.)

Hey, while you're here - is there any chance of incorporating this into RetroPie-Extra, friend? :)

I think it will run on Buster as raine is old source-code.

All pi's are supported :

But the best is to use a pi4 or pi5 and 64bit os.(Whenever I try to read stuff about it to see how to/whether I can update, it's all just ARGLE WARGLE FLARGLE BARGLE and I run away sobbing.)
Just start with a clean OS and install RetroPie manually :

Positively, a few notes from a cursory look:- The link to the License file in
rp_module_licenceis not right (yields HTTP 404). - For applying the diff there exists the
applyPatchfunction from RetroPie. - The indent is not right in L72-74.

It could, but it requires a more recent SDL, which would mean a manual SDL2 install which in turn will have knock-on effects on the rest of a otherwise Buster-based RetroPie installation.
Others have been down the road trying to get Raine compiled with an older SDL2: https://www.1emulation.com/forums/topic/37608-is-it-possible-to-compile-raine-on-arm-device-retropie/

Positively, a few notes from a cursory look:Thanks, I noticed a few myself too and fixed them.
- fixed help (3th commit)
- added depends for the xgettext and msgfmt commands (5th and 6th commit) (didn't work correctly so removed in 7th to 9th commit)
- added comments (3th commit)
- lowered swap (9th commit)
- The link to the License file in
rp_module_licenceis not right (yields HTTP 404).
Replace with the only thing I could find :
unknown https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zelurker/raine/refs/heads/master/source/Musashi/readme.txt
Fixed in the 3th commit- For applying the diff there exists the
applyPatchfunction from RetroPie.
Adding applyPatch needs to be done later as it needs a proper diff file.
My earlier attempt with using applyPatch with your diff file failed.- The indent is not right in L72-74.
Fixed in the 4th commit
