gfx/video_crt_switch.c doesn't currently build on videocore, due to definition of sr_state being in deps/switchres/switchres_wrapper.h which is not included on videocore.
Changed to use the driver from https://github.com/Ryochan7/sc-controller since it offers a Python3 compatible version.
Module has been updatd updated/reworked:
- the driver repo is no longer cloned to $md_inst, so 'noinstclean' flag is not necessary
- installation is still done `virtualenv`, in Bookworm and later this becomes mandatory
Note: the `--no-site-packages` was removed in the `virtualenv` call since it's ignored in v15 (version from Buster) and was removed in v20
- the `install` function is a mix of build/install, but since `install` cleans up $md_inst, it's necessary to have them there.
- added an update hook that removes the old driver start-up sequence in `/etc/rc.local`
- some minor re-wording of the text shown in the dialogs
Untested with a real controller, unfortunately, since I don't have one.
Changes since 5.6.2 (https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/releases/tag/v5.6.3)
* Optionally keep a backup of existing file, when downloading updates
* Show SDL2 render thread option in the GUI
* Disable SDL2 render thread checkbox on KMSDRM
* Improved DMS support
Updated to version 5.6.2 and enabled for Pi5.
Changes in 5.6.2 (complete changelog at https://github.com/BlitterStudio/amiberry/releases/tag/v5.6.2):
Added:
* improved help text in DiskSwapper panel
* don't disable CD drive if no image path is specified
* if start_minimized is specified, do not show a window on startup
* hide the Linux hidden directories from dialogs
* added VSync option
* added missing help text in GUI->Priority
Fixed:
* fixed crash if Restart was pressed
* fixed crash on startup on x86_64 platform
* DiskSwapper slots should be 10
* Virtual Keyboard options were not saved correctly
* fixed several memory leaks from the GUI
Platforms:
* added Raspberry Pi5
* added RISC-V 64bit (no JIT)
Fixed Pi5 detection by checking for `vc4hdmi` cards when determining if audio is enabled.
Since the Pi5 doesn't have the analog audio output (Headphones), the detection thinks there's no audio enabled (since `snd_bcm2835` module is not loaded), but it's wrong.
Also fixed a couple of things:
- the `pactl` listing parsing would enter an infinite loop if no audio was present
- when checking for Pulse/Pipewire use the `.service` instead of the `.socket`, since the socket can be disabled, but the service is always active.
The 'ubershaders' introduced in v1.14 are not handled efficiently by the Mesa v3d driver, causing a performance regression [1].
Since the slowdown is not present in the Mesa version from Bullseye/Bookworm (which caused in part the version upgrade), install v1.13.2 just on Buster/RPI.

Added the libretro core from upstream flyinghead/flycast, it supercedes the current libretro/flycast repository used for the current `lr-flycast` core.
The new core doesn't work correctly with the legacy VideoCore GLES drivers [1], so it will have to co-exist with the current `lr-flycast` until we drop support for older RaspiOS versions still using the VideoCore drivers.
Due to an internal compiler error, the enw core doesn't build on Buster with the included `gcc8`, but works on `gcc9` and later, which means it can be installed on Debian 11/Ubuntu 20.04 and later.
Tested on RaspiOS _bookworm_ with `vulkan`, `glcore` and `gl` RetroArch video drivers, on a Pi4.

Looks like some deprecation in python3.11 breaks building the Mame/Mess2016 cores due to some codegen including python scripts.
Similar to the commit for `lr-mame2016`, allows us to build on the newer Bookworm.
Looks like some deprecation in python3.11 breaks building the Mame2015 core due to some codegen including python scripts.
Upstream has a PR proposed in https://github.com/libretro/mame2015-libretro/pull/98, but not applied, so create one locally.
[From: https://github.com/christgau/wsdd]
With Windows 10 version 1511, support for SMBv1 and thus NetBIOS device discovery was disabled by default.
This causes hosts running Samba not to be listed in the Explorer's "Network (Neighborhood)" views. While there is no connectivity problem and Samba will still run fine, users might want to have their Samba hosts to be listed by Windows automatically.
This should fix the discoverability issues with recent Windows versions, especially since the SMBv1 client is not available anymore in Win11 (as some ill-advised instructions are trying to fix this problem).
Some changes prompted by the new RaspiOS Bookworm features:
- added Firefox as a browser, since it's supported now
- mimic the RaspiOS defaults and on Pi4/5 platforms add an additional entry for starting the Wayland based desktop, using the `wayfire` compositor.
Fixes building on Debian 12 Bookworm for the included `ffmpeg` project.
