Backstory¶
This fork is based on commit 654a31b
(2022-10-26) from Detain's
fork, which was a short-lived fork of
Skyscraper project after Lars retired his project.
Skyscraper focuses on RetroPie integration but it can also be used without RetroPie. However, the RetroPie-Setup has a scriptmodule to install this Skyscraper fork.
In essence Skyscraper only relies on a Std-C++17 toolchain and the Qt framework (Version 5 onwards).
