          What kind of distro version are you running and is it 32 bit or 64 bit ?
          Can you add your log to pastebin ?

              In /dev/shm you can only find the runcommand.log and not the RetroPie-Setup logs.

              RetroPie-Setup gzipped logs are here :
              /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs

              Find the one from when you tried to install Borked.
              It should be the latest, if you didn't do anything else..
              These logs can be read with the command zcat, like suggested by @gvx64 in post 6.
              Pipe to the command more to pause the output like this :

              zcat '/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs/rps_2025-xx-xx-xxxxx.log.gz'|more
              

              (use "enter" and "q" to see next line or to quit)

              To get the .log file you can either unzip the file like this :

              gzip -d '/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs/rps_2025-xx-xx-xxxxx.log.gz'
              

              Or redirect the output of zcat to a new file :

              zcat '/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/logs/rps_2025-xx-xx-xxxxx.log.gz' > mylog.log

                  You must update your CMAKE version

                    Seems you used @DTEAM modulescript.
                    @DTEAM is correct, then you need to use a newer cmake version.

                    If you use my modulescript then a newer cmake is downloaded and used to build Borked.
                    Try to clean the source folder fists so you know that the latest source is cloned.

                    Tip read post 1.

                        This is a trial to reduce and improve the code to make regular use of doublequoting inside the array with csv data.

                          Hi @Folly, can you do this with your latest version, please? I'd rather you add your own script to it as a pull request because it's your work.

                          @DTEAM adding this script ( Changed it over to Follys version ) to my Repo. for ease of installing
                          if you want to do pull requests when things change you can. if not i will update it as i see them here.

                              Just a warning about installing Borked.

                              Noticed yesterday that mame would not compile.
                              Seems that installing the dependancies for Borked will most likely break some of the QT5 install that is needed for compiling mame.
                              Once I installed a fresh OS, mame would compile correctly.
                              I don't have evidence but it's likely the cause.
                              Not sure if removing the installed dependancies will cure it, so be careful, you have been warned !

                                Good news is that I did work with the script and upgraded dependencies, but was able to successfully compile lr-mame 0.278. I suspect that you also did a lot more experimentation than some of us, but I also suspect the general state of things for lr-mame is actually good to go.

                                  Hi gvx64, I found a small bug in the user interface. In the configuration menu (configure..), a dialog box with all the options, such as graphics, appears. This box does not have a side scroll bar. So, when I use it on a small screen (e.g. 7.5 inches), I cannot access the lower options. Is it easy to add a scroll bar?

                                      @DTEAM I can take a look at it when I get the chance. It shouldn't be too hard to add a scrollbar to the config menu (hopefully that statement doesn't come back to haunt me).

                                      I am still working on correcting the black box in Fire Emblem Awakening. This has been a real pain to deal with and I have been working on it for over a month now. Just out of curiosity, have you seen this problem in any other games? It's a fairly sizeable black box in the bottom right corner of the top screen and it really obstructs gameplay. I have found a solution but it is currently non-optimal and involves a heavy performance hit in the game.
