RetroPie-Extra

This is a collection of unofficial installation scripts for RetroPie allowing you to quickly and easily install emulators, ports and libretrocores that haven't been included in RetroPie for one reason or another. These scripts can be considered experimental at best.

Those in the master branch have been tested reasonably and should work well but may have some flaws as they haven't gone through the RetroPie's watchful eyes yet. Scripts included in their own branches are either actively being worked upon or have various issues that have not been worked out yet.

Pull requests and issue reports are accepted and encouraged as well as requests. Feel free to use the issue tracker to send me any personal requests for new scripts that you may have.

Installation

Install the extra scripts

The following clones the repo to your Pi and then the install-scripts.sh installs the scripts in the master branch directly to the proper directories in RetroPie-Setup.

git clone https://github.com/zerojay/RetroPie-Extra.git
cd RetroPie-Extra/
./install-extras.sh

Run the RetroPie Setup Script (the extra scripts will be in the experimental section)

cd
cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_setup.sh

This script assumes that you are running it on a Raspberry Pi with the RetroPie-Setup being stored in /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup. If your setup differs, just copy the scripts directly to the folder they need to be in.
