Add retroarch installation script #36
Conversation
For future shutdown on retroarch trigger
As per lukasz request
Analog by default, commented HDMI value
Lets see if alsa-base is the magic sauce
Removed current method of starting x11/retroarch and shutting the system down in order to have a clean slate to test a better implementation.
This reverts commit 21f66e2.
Basically a re-apply of 0a6deb3 omitting pulseaudio
Decided to be lazy for now and use customised config as is (too little time, too much mucking around to filter changes)

Right, I'm guessing sound must be working now (don't have any games or anything to test it with! :-O ... have to get luke to help me on that front ;) ). This variant currently directly pulls these two files from a 'extras' repo, so should still just work fine. I'm not happy with the If Luke's happy with this build, then it 'works' ;) Just let me know if you want any specific changes before you pull it, or go right ahead ;) I'm guessing you'll build a new rootfs for it, so the 'variant' hack I did to make_rootfs can be rolled back once there's a rootfs for it? btw, am I right in thinking that your rootfs jenkinsfile needs a cleanup stage? I noticed your 0.2.2 rootfs build dragged along 0.1 files with it (bottom six files) => https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-rootfs/releases/tag/0.2.2 |

I have been testing this. I only tested snes9x and snes9x 2005. The regular snes9x build does not work, but so far snes9x 2005 works quite well. Retroarch ran for me without modifications very slowly, but after enabling sunxi DRM (and manual requirements) retroarch performance was very good. (Side note, better gaming experience than Lakka on another arm computer). |

@Funmungus Can you give this image a try as a comparison? It is is the last image I generated which was retroarch specific, and is was the script was designed to generate as part of the build system. |

@pfeerick Sure, but I might not get to it until the weekend. This week I am playing with docker, trying to get a dev environment that can use the sunxi enhancements. Also I tested sound. It took me a while to figure it out, but I just had to add my user to the audio group. I tried with and without the selected audio device optimization, and the selected audio device really is necessary. Also the Alsa card could be audiocodec or sndhdmi. Is there any way to detect or select this for the optimized retroarch.cfg? |

@pfeerick How are we doing on this one? ;) |
