Last Played Collection - Possible to limit?

@mediamogul thank you. Interesting.

What's your ROM path in the gamelist files for one of those ROMs, can you also share it?

mediamogul

Sure. Here's 'Cosmo Gang: The Video' from my arcade system gamelist.xml.

<path>./AdvanceMAME/cosmogng.zip</path>

Just wanted to let you all know that I've released the script I was talking about on this thread.

RetroPie Limit Last Played Games: A tool for RetroPie to limit the number of 'last played' games. https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/16608/script-retropie-limit-last-played-games

@mediamogul thank you. I take it you don't have one exact before and after path for the images in your specific scenario anymore as you fixed them, but I'll try to dig into it.

Thanks.

@pjft

Actually, the post here details one such before and after example. Outside of that, everything has been fixed, but the image paths in each affected gamelist.cfg file were all altered in exactly the same way.

<image>/home/pi/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/

Was altered in each occurrence to

<image>./ownloaded_images/

I think you've a typo there (although „ownloaded“ could grow into a nice gamer slang word ;) ).

Ha, it does look like it would be a typo, but that's just how it was truncated. However, the next time I hear a gamer tell me I was "ownloaded" over my headset, I'm gonna have to ask if his name is Clyde.

pjft

@clyde no, that's actually correct, it's a big that's changing the paths because it's shortening those strings. I was just trying to figure out if there was a pattern, but mine was different. :)

I'll need to test the code.

pjft

I just submitted a fix for the behavior and it has been accepted. You may now update from the dev branch and see if all works well.

Thanks.

@clyde it's a big

I hope that's a typo and not a bug in the "pjft" script. :D

pjft

@clyde that is indeed a phone induced typo :)
