@Charco Please create an issue on my issue tracker for this (including all links/information) so that I remember to work on this after my move.

@zerojay Done.

[zerojay]

Small update for you folks.

Moved. Still no Internet at my new place yet. Working on it. Starting a new job next week. Hope to see you all soon.

Hope the next step after mod... V-Sync is on the way ;)

[zerojay]

@Leatherface I have no idea what you are saying?

[Leatherface]

Sorry for my english ;) Will just say that after mods enable, need the option V-Sync. Without v-sync, the game suffer with tearing (hope you understand my bad english)

if the game uses sdl1, you can enable the dispmanx backend for it - requires some additions to the module to enable by default and make it show up in dispmanx config, but will stop tearing.

I'm going to take a run at updating the entire repository to the new standards being used by RetroPie today.

[BuZz]

rp_module_menus="4+" -> rp_module_section="exp"

anything that installs directly from a binary archive or via apt-get should be inside install_bin_moduleid rather than install_moduleid

[zerojay]

@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).

[zerojay]

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.

[Charco]

@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.

This post is deleted!

@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:

@zerojay

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

[sc0tt88]

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.
