RGBPi-Extra

RGBpi-Extra is a UI that allows you to apply a collection of unofficial scripts for RGBPiOS, enabling you to quickly and easily install emulators, ports, and libretrocores that haven't been included in RGBPi for various reasons. Additionally, it provides the capability to enable RetroArch features that are disabled by default. These scripts are experimental in nature and may not be fully stable. The concept for creating this repository was inspired by RetroPie-Extra and represents a collaborative effort across multiple parties within the RGBPi community.

I have found new scripts made by other people and added them to this Repo. I dont take credit for any of them, other then the ones I made. RGBPi OS uses a custom kernel driver and custom compiled version of retroarch. Pre-Compiled Cores from libretro, Retropie, batocera, lakka will not work (mostly). I have found that compiling cores on the RGBpi OS itself works best, but can still take some adjustments in the cmake flags.

DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS IN DISCORD/TELEGRAM FOR ANY ISSUES YOU MAY RUN INTO.

Notes

• Please use Discussions or Issues if you have questions or issues.
• RGBPi OS runs on Bullseye aarch64
• It uses a custom kernel driver for the GPIO output
• It uses a custom retroarch build with dynares driver built in, dynares takes a sample of the rom fps and resolution and then adjusts the kernel driver framebuffer to match.
• It does not have xorg out of the box so any emulators that require it wont work. You can install a LXQT desktop which will enable startx and xorg.
• applications that use egl/kms can work, but may be limited to 240p

Installation

1. Download Install RGBPi-Extra
2. Place it in your /roms/ports folder
3. Scan for new games in the rgbpi ui
4. Go to ports in rgbpi ui and run Install RGBPi-Extra
5. The RGBPi-Extra UI will appear allowing you to apply the patch and restart.

Usage

After installing RGBPi-Extra you will now have a RGBPi-Extra folder within ports and within that the RGBPi-Extra launcher

Retroarch Settings

This allows you to add retroarch features that are disabled by default by RGBPi-OS. Currently only boolean shows up in the UI, but you can add any global configs that you would like to /application/data/tweaks/gobal_configs.ini

Update Cores

Still in progress do not use this area

Tweaks

A collection of scripts to modify RGBPi OS settings, Bullseye settings or just general improvements

Settings

Update or Removal of RGBPi-Extra, You will need to rescan for games after updating.

IF YOU ARE REIMAGING YOUR SD CARD YOU MUST REMOVE RGBPI-EXTRA BEFORE DOING SO.

Updates

1. Go to settings
2. Press update and allow the package to download
3. Press patch and reboot
4. ReScan for games

Updates are currently implemented in a similar fashion to removing the RGBPi-Extras. The reasoning is that if anything happens during the download or patching process, your system is in a near vanilla state allowing it to work normally.

Remove

To remove the patch open RGBPi-Extra ui, go to settings and select remove. This is required prior to reimaging your SD card if you are doing so.

Systems still in progress, only checked cores are implemented. BIOS files are not included.

If there is a [X] that means it Installs and Plays. I'll have a note at the end with some Info about it. if there is NO note or [ ] PLEASE LET ME KNOW if it works for you

Since we are using CRTs not all cores/emulators will look good. This all depends on the native resolution and fps of the games
