+** Compiling Proton and its examples on the Raspberry Pi with OpenGL 2**
-As a base, I started with RetroPi on a Raspberry 3.  I should try it with a vanilla Raspbian Stretch install and see if that works too.
+Test with the latest Raspberry Pi OS and RetroPi as of June 9th, 2023.
-First install Proton and compile its RTPack utility:
+These should run both in the desktop GUI, or directly from bash. (Fullscreen)  I guess it's all identical to running on Ubuntu Linux/etc these days, no special stuff is needed.
-I ssh'ed in and did:
+First, install some tools/libs you'll need:
+<code bash>
+sudo apt-get install cmake zlib1g-dev
+sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0-0 libsdl2-dev
+</code>
+Don't forget git!
+<code bash>
+sudo apt-get install git

+Next, install Proton.
 <code bash>
 cd ~
 git clone https://github.com/SethRobinson/proton.git

-//Build proton's RTPack tool
+Now let's build Proton's RTPack utility, will come in handle later to build and optimize resources.
+<code bash>
 cd ~/proton/RTPack/linux
 sh linux_compile.sh

+If that worked, enjoy the spinning triangle and text stretching!  It got 300+ fps on my Pi 4. Starting it from an ssh session worked for me as well.
 Now let's do RTSimpleApp, same thing but it needs SDL2_mixer for its audio, so let's get that installed:
 <code bash>
-sudo apt-get libsdl2-mixer-dev
+sudo apt-get install libsdl2-mixer-dev

 If that worked, enjoy the app.  If it didn't... off to the forums and yell at Seth!
+=== Note from Dec 3rd, 2023 ===
+I updated things so pulseaudio is used by default instead of alsa when compiling on a pi, this fixes audio on the latest Raspberry Pi OS.  (in AudioManagerSDL.cpp)
+=== State of Proton on the Pi ===
+Hint: Using the RetroPi dist? You can edit the text file **/opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh** and comment out where it runs emulationstation and change that to run your own app - or nothing at all, so it drops into the shell on boot.
+An easy way to replace the boot splash is replacing **/opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen/retropie-default.png**
