RetroPie Boot into a Single ROM
-
@mediamogul It worked!!! Thanks everyone who helped :) really didn't expect to get this working so fast! Thanks again all
-
I'm glad to hear it. For the benefit of others who might follow along behind you, can you specify which tactic worked for you?
-
@mediamogul I've just edited the first post to include it :)
-
Nice! Glad to see you're up and running.
-
@mediamogul nice work on the solution! much easier than mine was
-
I'm always thankful when an easy solution pays off. More often than not I usually find that I've blown thrown 72 potential easy solutions, when a more complex approach would have ultimately saved time.
-
this is the line that works:
/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS capcom ~/RetroPie/roms/capcom/sfiii2.zipbackup your autostart.sh by duplicating it to autostart.sh.bak in WinSCP
customize to your own directory structure and rom name omit spaces or use \ like: Street\ Fighter\ 2.zip

@tmntturtlguy question that is right up your alley... looking to run a rom directly from main ES menu, versus opening a directory list... is this possible, thru my research I have found no way to do this, and a few nay-sayers...
What do you think?

Emulation Station is open source, so of course it could be done. However, you'd have to add the basic functionality for it first.
-
What exactly do you want to do ? You found a way to launch a single ROM on boot, if you want to go back to ES, just add the ES start command to the
autostart.shfile, right after theruncommandyou're using. -
I believe he's wanting to launch an item by selecting a system heading from the carousel. The practical uses would be pretty limited, but if memory serves, people are usually looking to launch Kodi directly without selecting a launch script from the resulting directory.

Hi. Having some problems making this work. Trying to boot directly into a2600 and the legendary E.T. However, although I made the changes, the system still boots happily to ES. Weird. Here's my changes to /etc/profile.d/10-retropie.sh
"/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS atari2600 ~/RetroPie/roms/atari2600/ET.bin"
Thanks for your help in advance :)

*** All ok now, seems a reboot cleared the situation***
Sorry, but I ran into another problem when launching the game from the autostart.sh. The atari2600 core says I haven't configured my PS3 pad (the text flashes briefly in the lower left corner), which I actually have, but from the ES gui. So, now I should probably configure the controls again.
I tried to remap from the Retroarch "ingame GUI", but could not figure out how to properly do it. Could someone please tell me how can I get the controller working? Currently it's only the keyboard that works :/
edit
Ok, the emulator only works with sudo, when started with autostart.sh. If there's no sudo, the emulator exits just before the game should start. I guess, my PS3 pad is now configured for the pi user (the default user for ES), but not for root? Just my guessing here...
Any clues, how make the emulator works with sutostart.sh without sudo?
Thanks :)

@mediamogul Hi, I’m really new and green.
I have tried to get my retro pie to load directly into the game but can’t. 4hrs later 😂😂😂
How do I get my address for the rom ?
-
@kevin-b which pi model are you on, which emulator? I think people will need that info. Also you will need to confirm the rom normally works fine without the auto booting
-
@BJRetro hi pi 3 b+ , Retropie 4.14.29-v8+
-
@kevin-b thanks which game are you trying to boot and which emulator? I have a pi 3b+ and boot directly to teenage mutant ninja turtles running in lr-mame-2003. If you want I can look up what my auto start says for you if that helps. But if you are trying with a different emulator/system it may be far less useful.

@BJRetro hi, I am trying to boot mo3 in arcade , I have tried a million options ~ I can’t find this symbol😂😂😂. It on my keyboard but does not come out correctly.
I’m not sure if there are any spaces.
Could you send the command you use please?
Much appreciated.
Kevin
