    @Botolo just out of curiosity how much overhead does this tool have?

    I'll check the top command later

    I'd say almost nothing

      @Botolo yeah I just tested it and it's very lightweight. Once we sort out the repository stuff we can add some things like the runcommand log. A few icon changes, maybe the colours too. I can get a working module that will automate the install somewhat and we can throw it on zerojays retropie-extra extra repository

      If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

        Sounds good.
        I'd like to add a syntax JS to the editor too.

        Do you think we should get rid of the original recalbox variables?

          I think yes. I'll try to do it tonight.

            I found a problem. The RetroPie-Manager isn't able to show subdirs in ROMs directories.
            For example, my /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes has the following subdirs:
            0-9/
            a/
            b/
            c/
            d/
            etcetera...

            When I open the NES' ROMs dir in RetroPie-Manager, it's empty.

              I know, but this could be tricky to solve since that module has been designed for a single level folder structure.

                    Hey guys!
                    A small update:
                    A did a small script to simplify the commands to start/stop the RetroPie-Manager.
                    Take a look at https://github.com/botolo78/RetroPie-Manager again ;-)

                      @herb_fargus made an adjustment and now the RetroPie-Manager can run on a ubuntu-based RetroPie.

                      @Botolo maybe you should rename this thread to "RetroPie-Manager web server", what do you think? ;-)

                            @Botolo Well... It's really a server (a system that responds to requests across a computer network to provide a service). But we don't care about these formalities! Name it as you like ;-)

                              I know it's a server, but I don't wont to let people think you need to install a new server :D

                                @Botolo Do you mind if I modify it myself to port in my Backup/restore script into it?

                                I like the interface makes things alot smoother then the current way of doing things

                                  Hey! It's on github man! There is no need to ask for it!
                                  Just fork and play with the code. If you think your changes are usefull and want to share, do a Pull Request so we can see what you did.

                                    Sure, you can do whatever you want :)
                                    I'm playing around with django now because I'd like to understand what's under the hood. It's possible in the future I'll release a new version (with another repo of course) not forked from Recalbox Manager and completely written from scratch.

                                    I'd like to extend it's functions so we will be able to manage rom subfolders (1 level i think) and play around some more with roms and files.

                                    Any request from you?

                                      Hey guys,

                                      Love the web interface, install worked perfectly. Only problem I am having is with autostart. I followed the instructions to start on boot, and its not working. I added this line to autostart.sh:

                                      /home/pi/RetroPie-Manager/rpmanager.sh --start --user pi 2>&1 &
                                      emulationstation #auto

                                      Web manager doesn't start at boot. I know the path to is correct, and I also tried removing the "2>&1 &", and still doesn't work. Any ideas? :-/

                                        I'm not used to use the autostart feature., but I would like to help you with it.

                                        Can you change the line on your autostart.sh to this?:

                                        /home/pi/RetroPie-Manager/rpmanager.sh --start --user pi 2>&1 > /tmp/rpmanager.log
                                        

                                        And then paste the /tmp/rpmanager.log here.

                                          Did you give up that RetroPie scriptmodule for RetroPie-Manager installation?
                                          If yes, would you mind if I try to finish it?
