Please don't flag this package out-of-date when you see the version string is. This is a VCS package. It always grabs the latest source from upstream repo and version string is generated at build time. As long as it builds fine, it is up-to-date. It is your responsibility to decide when to rebuild (update). I won't bump the version for you.

Also, I am running a daily build service, and by that, I can check that it builds fine daily. Ancient version string does not mean that I have loose track of the latest source.

edit: Never mind. It seems it's just that it needs to download a lot of things. And my aur helper doesn't show it individually. Doing it manually with makepkg shows it takes a while to download everything.

Personally I'm stuck at this step:

:: Downloading the latest sources for devel packages ppsspp-qt-git, ppsspp-common-git...

Not exactly sure why.

@kage52124 The idea is that keeping them together in a PKGBUILD makes them stay at same version naturally. The subpackage ppsspp-common-git is needed by all variants and ideally needs to be from the same source version as those variants. Keeping them in a single PKGBUILD prevents version mismatch. I think it would not be reliable if we seperate them into individual PKGBUILDs and have dependencies with version locked as there is no way to be sure that the sources downloaded would be at exactly the same version when building them seperately.

You can always edit PKGBUILD before building to prevent builds that you don't need. If you need prebuilt packages, I also provide them at https://aurbuild.xdavidwu.link/ (daily builds) signed with key F73F137D4573DEFAA097DBF09544CFF6B08A3FD3.

Question: It looks like this PKGBUILD is building all of the versions of PPSSPP, but only installing one of them, based on what I see as it compiles. Is that right? If so, would it not make more sense to drop the build instructions for QT and Headless, leaving those for other packages?

The install worked great, btw, but compiling on an old, fanless, Celeron takes time.

I have solved all depenencies (submodules or packages) problems. Also, some changes have been made to make this pkgbase better:

Instead of /opt, it now installs to /usr like ppsspp in [community] does. Wrappers have been removed and binaries are now in /usr/bin as PPSSPP{SDL,Headless,Qt}.

A new subpackage, ppsspp-common-git, has been introduced. Shared assets are moved there. This solves inner conflicts of subpackages.

I'm receiving the following error during build:

...
CMake Error: File /home/drb/.cache/yay/ppsspp-git/src/ppsspp/ext/miniupnp/miniupnpc/miniupnpcstrings.h.cmake does not exist.

==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().

The following patch fixes the build:

Indeed, they've added 2 new submodules. Forgot to add ppsspp-git back to my automated builds so I didn't catch that change. Just pushed an updated PKGBUILD, thanks for the heads up.

Thanks alucryd. I hadn't ran into that myself.

I think one of the recent GIT updates may have broken the package. Not sure if it can be fixed in the build script or if it's simply a case of waiting for upstream to fix something. It fails immediately after configuring with:

CMake Error at ext/discord-rpc-build/CMakeLists.txt:33 (add_library): Cannot find source file: ../discord-rpc/src/backoff.h

Yes, system ffmpeg doesn't work. Try running the first patapon for example, don't remember what the exact symptoms, but there are issues with the intro video for instance.
