Hi,
I was using the abendbrot overlay for retroarch and libretro cores, but it seems this overlay is no more 
I've tried switching to menelkir overlay which looks quite complete about emulation, but I get errors when trying to emerge (seems portage can't fetch sources)
Tried with vortex overlay, compiling works, but it misses a few cores like Mame/FBAlpha.
Does anyone know where/how could I get a better retroarch/libretro support for gentoo ? (I'd rather not mix multiples overlays aka, get a core from overlay A, and another from overlay B, it tends to get messy) |

Sad to see that overlay is still abandoned. I used to use it but when the updates stopped I ended up copying ebuilds (only those I use, so not many) to my local overlay and maintaining myself (only -9999 versions, can't be bothered with bumping, at most just have to do minor build fixes now and then).
Haven't tried it but menelkir overlay that you mentioned does look alright, seems updated and it's mostly live ebuilds as well -- which in theory should have working fetching, common git hosts typically doesn't go anywhere unlike odd releases. Are you having problems fetching live versions? This is just git-r3 + github for most, not that I tried the overlay. |

Yeah you're right, it's not that the proper link is dead it's auto-detected wrong. I had a look at the ebuild and they seem to have added a | Code: | | LIBRETRO_REPO_NAME="libretro/${PN//-libretro}" |
before the libretro-core inherit. It works if you just remove the line. Seems that -r2 mass commit is the problem unless I'm overlooking something (only tested beetle-psx though, maybe needed for others) |

Thanks for your answer 
I just sent a mail to the overlay maintainer, I hope he'll fix all that |

| It's fixed and updated. Since the libretro cores doesn't update that much, I marked the last "revised" ones as stable and the 9999 as unstable so the harsh will be minimum. |

| I just build it from git. I tried making ebuilds myself but there's so many build options and they change so often it's impossible to keep up. |

Hey there Menelkir, I just found that I had to do a local mod on the Manifest file to get mame2016-libretro-1.0_pre20191224 to install
The file size and both hashes for the tar ball from github are different, and prevents the package from installing..
I wasn't sure where else to post this, so If i've put this in the wrong place, apologies.
Below is the updated values I needed in my Manifest file to get mame2016 to download and start the install
| Code: | DIST mame2016-libretro-1.0_pre20191224.tar.gz 114718658 BLAKE2B 627b8c99eb96ac37697596b1850bf3438778bf6d728240e0ec2ce58e5087c08c726f780d075f5a27e4efb98b1a0730c94b7a0fc69f10661fc8cb8055f5806f0a SHA512 68eb868e9d91781071f4f7dfbf1183b4b080e3e2da317e8e239435ba7aede82d81b1d9c
