It keeps me busy, and makes me happy, knowing that other people are learning things! 
Iām just trying to spread the happiness, I guess and hopefully explain it in the most human way possible.
Also, if it helps to encourage people to come and stay, and help each other more, it can only mean more advancement in the development of the system!
IN OTHER NEWS! - Iāve also been messing around with Retroarch 1.8.5. My goodness itās BEAUTIFUL! Theyāve fixed up the scaling for the Menu Drivers across the board. Well, besides the official Theme: Ozone. I love it, but I also like reading micro text. Itās hard to read for most people, and probably not the best to keep as a standard.
There are also battery meters that work well with the newer kernels built in. Iāll definitely be including that in the next build.
Another thing Iām thinking. Including a script that you can run in order to update retroarch yourself. This would possibly also involve having to have a separate script to make a swapfile.
Anyway, here are a few simple scripts. Stupidly simple.
Copy them to the Utils directory, and give them the 755 executable bit (chmod +x).
I actually (stupidly) ran the retroarch update script from the gameshell, just to see if it works. In short, yes it does. But I have made it so simplistic that there isnāt even any verbal printing to the screen anythingās happening; just a static āProjectingā png that doesnāt change. You have to sit there waiting for about an hour or more, until it decides to reboot.
Hereās the script fwiw:
#!/bin/bash
git clone https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch.git retroarch
cd retroarch
./configure
make -j2
sudo make install
cd ..
sudo rm -r retroarch/
sudo rebootThe swapfile script is basically this one:
Iāll test it out a bit more meantime.
