X68000 - setting disk-swap directories

SpudsMcToole

I'm trying to run some multi-disk games in lr-px68k and it's going pretty well except for one annoying thing.

For games on more than two disks you have to hot-swap them during play. The Retroarch menu lets you do that easily enough, but it always starts looking in the Pi's root directory, which means a lot of tedious navigating through folders to get to the one with your disks in it.

According to the libretro docs:

"The starting directory for loading disks is determined by the setting StartDir in the system/keropi/config file."

I worked out that this meant /opt/retropie/configs/x68000/config, which has a blank StartDir= line.

But when I set it to

StartDir=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/x68000

it does nothing. Retroarch still starts looking in the root folder. I've tried adding and removing spaces and slashes at the start and end, to no avail. What am I missing?

Ha, outfoxed it. What it actually wants is the line

rgui_browser_directory = "/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/x68000/"

added to /opt/retropie/configs/x68000/retroarch.cfg

Hello friends, I need to run in Sharp X68000 emulator .zip files using the .m3u method, but only works with uncompressed .dim files, anyone able to make it work with .zip files?

@SpudsMcToole I wonder if you get the same results by using

content_directory="/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/x68000/

That might be something worth setting for disc based games.

@mitu I tried to add the line in retroarch.cfg located in /opt/retropie/configs/x68000 but when I access to system menù pressing F12 and try to swap disk it always starts from root directory.
Could you give me some suggestions?

I tried with both parameters: rgui_browser directory and content_directory.
Thanks for help.

rgui_browser_directory is set by default in new installs to the ROM folder ($HOME/RetroPie/roms), so that should be covered. But you should start a new topic and describe the issue, including your system details and the RetroArch version.

Ok, I’ll do that. Thanks!
