Arch Linux User Repository

I needed this specific core in order to get SNI working and (AFAICT) current retroarch in repos doesn't have ability to download cores.

Luckily wasn't too bad to fix. Enjoy!

What @yrlf wrote...

This package seems to be abandoned. :(

When trying to build this, I found a few problems with the PKGBUILD:

1. the current upstream repo uses make PROFILE=accuracy, not make profile=accuracy
2. the current upstream repo puts the built .so files directly into the repository root, not into an out/ folder.
3. the balanced profile fails to link (ppu-balanced seems to be missing some methods), disabling for now

anyway, even with these fixes, the core crashes when used.
