Hi, I want to install the scripts on retropie 4.6 which is based on raspbian buster but when I run the installation script from https://github.com/TheFlav/Freeplay-Support the cm3 doesn't boot up.  Could someone explain to me what I am doing wrong or what should I do? 

The reason why I want to do it is because I can't install the Realtek drivers for the WiFi dongles I have, or I have errors and it won't let me install it, although in raspbian stretch it shouldn't because of what I've read ...

Thanks in advance
I found that in the install.sh script at https://github.com/TheFlav/Freeplay-Support there are a couple of errors on two lines. On lines 25 and 26 you should put nonint instead of noint. This causes raspi-config to start in interactive mode.

On the other hand I also found in the install.sh script from https://github.com/TheFlav/rpi-fbcp that after copying fbcp.sh to /etc/init.d you should give execution permission, at least that returns the system by doing it by hand...

This is a really good find. I wonder why we have never noticed it before. I guess that the boot wait wouldn't break anything, but the i2c could cause the backlight control to fail. Weird. Thank you very much for noticing that!

It should be executable. You are right. When I 'git clone' the repo, it is already executable. I added in a chmod for you, so it will be sure to get the permission. I don't know why it didn't already have it for you.

Cool!! I'm so glad I helped solve something like this Wink

I don’t know... Maybe it was some kind of failure that I had without realizing it, sorry... 


I'm sorry but I didn't answer before but I was away from home for holidays. Many thanks for your support Smile
On the other hand... I’m creating with the help of @mlopezmad & @zato a menu with some addons

https://github.com/julenvitoria/FreeplayGBA

The install.sh script installs everything necessary and to add the new menu in the retropie section. Once the new menu is installed, several options will appear, such as updating the emulators.cfg file online (all the scripts work online because this way I make sure that the last version that has been uploaded is downloaded). The installation for freeplay zero isn’t functional yet, only has the structure

There are two attached photos of the new menu Wink
