-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.

-First install Proton and compile its RTPack utility:

+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:

 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)

+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**
