Where to follow emu development?
-
This site is great for closely follow front end development and progress.
But where can I follow emulator progress?
What's the status of lr-mupen64plus? Is there any development? How about lr-drastic? And so on...
Thank you

@Arcuza there is no lr-drastic and likely never will be because it's closed source. Most source code is on GitHub and the install modules on retropie have links to the source. The wiki also has links to each emulator source on their respective pages.
-
the "lr" that precedes the name of most emulators used in RetroPie stands for lib-retro. Lib-retro and Retroarch (lakka) have very thriving communities that are also worth a follow.

@Capeman and hopefully libretro will soon have some documentation as well.

@herb_fargus So for staying tuned with updates on the lr-mupen64plus emulator, I should look at: https://github.com/libretro/mupen64plus-libretro/commits/master ?

yep! however that's not really getting updated (it's a fork of lr-glupen64, which was abandoned).
to follow the 'cutting edge' standalone mupen64 development, you should watch:
https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core/commits/master (the main emulator framework, plus the CPU emulation, which seems fairly complete at this point)
https://github.com/gonetz/GLideN64/commits/master (the video plugin we use by default - most development happens here)
