Request: Add OpenParsec to your repo

[CrazySpence]

I've been working on a retropie script for OpenParsec recently and it installs a compiled binary for the game. The script is here if interested

https://github.com/CrazySpence/cs-retropie-ports/blob/master/exp/openparsec-rpi.sh

Send me a pull request and I'll add it after some testing. I am interested.

I just took a look at your script and it appears to install a precompiled build, which is fine, but I would really prefer it to be compiled upon request as it's something that people have previously brought up as a concern. If you've got compilation instructions handy, post them here and I'll create a script otherwise I'll try working it out on my own. Either way, thanks for bringing attention to this game as I would not have known about it otherwise.

Sure, this should do it and your timely return saved me from trying to do yet another retropie repo so glad you're back:

git clone https://github.com/OpenParsec/openparsec.git cd openparsec/platforms/premake-rpi make client

Client "parsec" will be in openparsec/parsec_root/client

Assets can be retrieved from: git clone https://github.com/OpenParsec/openparsec-assets

then they would need to be combined in the ports destination folder

and you'll still need the chmod 777 parsecrc.con or it won't write settings

I'll probably have something before the end of the night. Thanks.

Attempted to use your precompiled binaries on my Pi4, but unresolved symbols. Attempted to compile source code, but errors out. I opened a bug on the OpenParsec github: https://github.com/OpenParsec/openparsec/issues/55

Hmm been a few years since I tried it on the Pi Im sure stuff has changed since then, ill take a look
