Quick Powershell Script to update Roms from PC to RP

[qbie]

Hi All,

This is just something I threw together quickly that I thought some others might find useful.

My use case: I have a full set of FBA roms on my PC, however I only use a limited subset of these on my pi. I've just updated to the latest version of FBA and updated the romset on the PC, however I don't need to copy them all onto my pi.

The script gets a list of all the zip files from the \\retropie\roms\fba folder, and then for each one copies the latest version from the source directory on the PC. Obviously there may be the odd occasion where the .zip file I've copied across from my PC no longer works, for example if I also need to copy across a new parent, but I can deal with those on a case by case basis. This will get the majority of them working ok :)

You can change the file paths below to whatever you like, if you want to update a limited set of MAME roms for example.

#Set the Source Directory
$sourcedir = "D:\Emulators\roms\Final Burn Alpha"

# Fetch a list of all items in the destination folder, and for each one copy a new version from the source
Get-ChildItem "\\retropie\roms\fba" -Filter *.zip | 
Foreach-Object {
    $filename = $_.Name
    Write-Host "Copying $filename from $sourcedir to Retropie"
    Copy-Item $sourcedir\$filename -Destination \\retropie\roms\fba
    }
