Install this emulator's files

With RetroPie: the installer finds RetroPie and its BIOS folder, then downloads only the files SuperTux reads there and checks each one.

On the device

Open a terminal on the device. Or connect from a computer with SSH, a terminal over the network. Paste the line. Press Enter.

Terminal

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Abdess/retrobios/main/install.sh | sh -s -- --emulator supertux

Technical notes

SuperTux 2, the free platformer. The program is supertux2 and every asset (images, levels, music, sounds, fonts, scripts) is read through PhysFS from the data directory: the one given on the command line, else $SUPERTUX2_DATA_DIR, else the build tree when it holds credits.stxt, else the installed share directory beside the binary. A data directory that cannot be mounted is logged and the game has nothing to load. ref: src/supertux/main.cpp:197-266

EmuELEC builds this revision, 1020 commits past the v0.6.3 tag its package comment names, without the data. On first start its run_supertux.sh downloads the v0.6.3 source archive, keeps its data directory as /storage/roms/ports/supertux, renames levels/misc/menu.stl.in and fills its logo name, then runs supertux2 with SUPERTUX2_DATA_DIR pointing there. The data is the v0.6.3 tree, not that of the built revision. ref: EmuELEC packages/sx05re/emuelec-ports/supertux/package.mk:4-9, EmuELEC packages/sx05re/emuelec-ports/supertux/scripts/run_supertux.sh:10-14,45-66
