@BuZz That's all that's changed for modules?

BuZz

oh and _INFMSGS isn't used (it's still supported by should not be used anymore) - instead we have an optional rp_module_help="" for help text which is displayed in the gui. Also any modules with a "gui" to configure, should use gui_moduleid function - probably doesn't affect any of yours.

and nobin flag is no longer needed.

Can't think of anything else right now that would affect your stuff - I tried to not break existing modules too much (the section change is the main non optional change).

Awesome. Been too busy to be around thanks to E3 coming up. Hope to get this all updated today/

zerojay

Everything's updated. Haven't tested though. I'll take a look at SORR.

@zerojay Would it be possible to map buttons to exit to the gamepad? At the moment you have to use the Esc key on a keyboard.

@zerojay the other thing also is game data should be split out of configure_ functions and then called from the configure function like

[[ "$md_mode" == "install" ]] && game_data_moduleid

check this WIP PR

https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/1522

this will be merged shortly. This makes modules work better with the uninstall/remove functionality..

@zerojay the other thing is the rp_module_help goes in the header see:

Gamemaker module only shows "Package Help" in the setup script while trying to install it.

Is SORR on there the latest version? How do I exit from it without unplugging my Pi?

Charco

@sc0tt88 press the Esc key on the keyboard.

Hi,

First off, thanks for the great work.
I am trying to run Freesynd for Syndicate, but running from RetroPie I just get a black screen and a cursor for a few seconds then it goes back to the Retropie menu.
I know my Syndicate files work ok as it runs fine on Freesynd Windows.
I have not changed monitor res or video driver, just running straight out the box so to speak.
Any help is welcome. Thanks (RetroPie 3.8 on RPi 3 and RetroPie 3.8.1 on RPi 0)

I haven't tried it recently. All I can really say about it is that it was flaky and would crash out after a level or two (save often!)

When I have time, I'll try to take a look at it.

File a bug, I'll take a look as soon as I can.

Will Mehstation ever be a part of the RetroPie-Extra Repository?

@zerojay Thank you for helping to bring the TI99 to RetroPie. This was the first system my family had. I have so many great memories of this. Tombstone City forever!

Charco

Is there any possibility of a port of AM2R to RetroPie?

@Charco The full linux version was supposed to be released, but Nintendo sent a DMCA and shut it down. There is both an unoffical linux version and linux demo build.
