The original repository has long been abandoned, but several forks are still active. The (most ?) active one has added support for SDL2 (Audio, GameController API) and MIDI (Fluidsynth) among other things and it even has some SDL3 support in the works. [1]
This commit switches the source of the emulator to [1] and adjusts the dependencies, build instructions and files included. When building with Fluidsynth, install a minimal soundfont and also generate a minimal configuration referencing the installed soundfont path.

Notable changes in this fork.
* Utilizes SDL2 Renderer (GPU), so "sdl-gfx" is unnecessary
* Supports Full-Screen Mode.(F11)
* Soft keyboard (Right click on F12Menu mode)
* SCSI DiskImage support (Can boot from *.HDS)
* Change final screen output to 24bit (RGB565→RGBA8888)
* Support MIDI-Play (Internal/Munt/fluidsynth/USB-MIDI) (NB: didn't find anything in sources about MUNT, I assume is used on Windows as MIDI softsynth)
* Support US-Keyboard layouts. keyconf.dat shoudl be copied into .keropi folder
* Printer output is saved to File
* Can use XBOX like USB-GamePad (hot-pluggable)
* Add support for CyberStick! (DIGITAL/ANALOG mode)
* FileName's UTF8/SJIS automatic detection Japanese display (dedicated table conversion)
* get rid of _INFMSGS and instead have a rp_module_help field with information in.
this can then be displayed in the setup menus, and not just after configuring.
* rp_module_menus is no more - instead use rp_module_section with one of
- core (core packages)
- main (main packages - which will be installed by default in the image)
- opt (optional packages)
- exp (experimental packages)
- driver (driver packages)
- config (configuration packages / tools)
* The setup menu organises the data based on the above sections. more could be added in the future if needed. Packages (internally modules), can be added / configured / removed individually, or as entire sections.
* The setup menu will automatically detect if a binary is available to be installed. the nobin flag is no longer needed. modules that install directly from binary via aptInstall or via a prebuilt binary need to use an install_bin_ function instead of install_
* rp_module_section of type "config" will have the "gui_" function called first if it's available, otherwise a standard depends/sources/build/install/configure will be called
* configure is no longer used for "gui" configuration function - use gui_ instead. Had already started to move to this before, but now it is required.
