Custom D.E.O.T. V1.0+/Clockwork OS v0.4 image - With Updated Kernel 5.3.6, Latest Lima Drivers, RA1.8.1, Mupen64+ and much more! (Current version: 191122)

HOLY COW THIS IS PERFECT! The fact that you’ve gone to the trouble to explain exactly how and why things are done - this is how communication and progress is made! Thank you so much!

Is it okay for me to provide your image on the download lists for this image; since it’s based on the custom image anyway? I love your work, and will certainly be applying it as a standard!

The 191111 image would just be a cleaner slate to work from, since none of the Lima/Mesa changes have been made; just to rule out any other potential problems that can occur.

Re: MPD deprecation, here’s the modification I made to mpd.conf. Nothing fancy; just commenting out deprecated Unicode sets, and disabling tidal and qobuz and all associated tokens. I doubt the CPI would be able to output adequate audio to really leverage Tidal anyway.

As for recompiling mupen, I’ve actually left the dependencies in the home directory under ~/.mupen. There a script to install them in the home directory called mupen.sh.That should be all you need to get mupen working, besides maybe fiddling with the config file and/or action file; specifically specifying which output to use. I think that was a problem people had early on in the mupen/gameshell days.
