[SCRIPT] RetroPie Limit Last Played Games

[hiulit]

@madhorse Hey! Yeah, totally my bad... Such a noob thing to do :( Or in this case, NOT to do..

I only check for unescaped & because in one of your gamelist.xml there were a lot of them and the software that parses the xml, which is xmlstarlet, was crashing because of that. So I assumed that scrapers would always add the unescaped & and I didn't take into account that it was possible for some scrapers to have the escaped version &.

I'll fix it asap.

Thanks for the heads up! ;)

@hiulit hi, I made a quick test and now the & and & aren't changed, great work.
I will do some more test hoping to not find more bugs, I don't want you to hate me :)

Thank you very much, you and your script are awesome

@hiulit The script can be improved by using joy2key. So you can rearchange the key input for joypad to make the checkboxes work ;)

I've a small example of how to do here: Midnight Joy [Scriptlet]
In this small script I rearranged the key input to make use of Midnight Commander with joypad ;) It might be usefull for this script,too ;)

@cyperghost Hey, thanks! I've never tried it with a game controller. Always with a keyboard or, in my case, arcade buttons mapped as a keyboard, so I've never though it wouldn't work with a controller. I'll try and take a look at your script. Thanks again! :)

P.S. You are my first star on GitHub :D
