      i really hope all this gets added to the retropie distribution ..... i'll add a bunch of other emulators (and try to fix bbcmicro), then i'll retry to submit a pull request :)

        That would be nice.

        One thing about BBCMicro, the script is not adding ROM Extensions to es_systems. Looks like it's just a single space. I manually added .ssd .zip .SSD .ZIP.

        So now I can get to BBC BASIC, but Shift-F12 results in "File not found". I'll spend time trying to figure out why. Never worked with MESS before today.

          @roslof again, its about the standalone or the lr-mess-bbcmicro ? i'm fixing it, since it doesnt work on me. running it via runcommand.sh leads to crash, instead it runs when running run_mess.sh from commandline.
          wait for a new version, i should have it shortly .... or if you happen to fix it, feel free to commit the code!!!!

            Yes, lr-mess-bbcmicro. Knew you were having issues per the comments above, so was giving my input to help you out.
            Will commit fixes if I find them FWIW: Not crashing here. Just yielding a"File Not Found" after hitting Shift-F12.

              @roslof try to run this

              /opt/retropie/configs/bbcmicro/run_mess.sh /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so /opt/retropie/configs/bbcmicro/retroarch.cfg bbcb /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS -flop1 /path/to/your/rom

              it should work. its an issue with runcommand.sh, i'm trying to override runcommand.sh for now....

                @roslof there you go, bbcmicro fixed .... try it :)

                EDIT: i think i got why runcommand.sh crashes.... runcommand.sh tries to set the video mode, while the bbcmicro driver in lr-mess switch video mode multiple times during running (i.e. try games like jetpack and you will see what i mean). this (at least on my setup) makes it crashing. probably it can be fixed passing a correct option to runcommand.sh, anyway i overridden it calling my run_mess.sh directly from emulationstation, that's all.

                btw, configuring joystick for lr-mess-microbbc is really a MESS ! :)

                  Thanks @valerino

                  The script initially freezes on "Press a button to configure". After I hit enter several times, I can break out of it.
                  Tried uninstalling/ re-installing -- same behavior.

                  Enters BBC-Micro BASIC as before.
                  Pressing Shift-F12 doesn't auto-load. The word "BASIC" and the ">" just blink out for a moment, then return.

                  Basically, the in-BASIC results are the same here. It's possible things were working fine before, since I was not having issues with runcommand like you were. I just haven't seen a game render yet.

                  I've tried .zip and expanded .ssd extensions.

                  I think user-error at this point. Will keep looking into why I can get this one to fire. Arcadia and CreatiVision were fine.

                    Crap, yeah, false alarm. I rebooted the Pi and the odd behavior(s) went away. I can now see the game running correctly.

                      uhm ..... so it crash ? it exits back from emulationstation ? that's what exactly happened to me.
                      have you tried with the version i pushed few minutes ago ?
                      if so, after installing that, check if the bbcmicro entry in /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg looks like this:

                        <system>
                          <name>bbcmicro</name>
                          <fullname>BBC-Micro</fullname>
                          <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/bbcmicro</path>
                          <extension>.zip .ssd</extension>
                          <command>/opt/retropie/configs/bbcmicro/run_mess.sh /opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-mess/mess_libretro.so /opt/retropie/configs/bbcmicro/retroarch.cfg bbcb /home/pi/RetroPie/BIOS -flop1 %ROM%</command>
                          <platform>bbcmicro</platform>
                          <theme>bbcmicro</theme>
                        </system>
                      

                      if not, delete the entry and try to reinstall. the retropie setup script doesn't overwrite it automatically so.
                      if instead its the same, well..... we must check what happens on your setup :(

                        @roslof oh amazing :) can you confirm you're using my last version (the one not using runcommand.sh) ?

                          @valerino Interesting here:

                          After the restart, I tried both scripts. They both work. Like I mentioned earlier, running lr-mess-bbcmicro never crashed. The game just didn't load when pressing Shift-F12. But now (after restart) everything is fine and I can run both scripts.

                          Of course, the older script (that uses runcommand) breaks the ROM Extensions in es_settings.cfg, but after I manually add .ssd .zip .SSD .ZIP it works fine, and outputs to /dev/shm/runcommand.log appropriately.

                                How are your fire buttons mapped? I'm unable to use my fire buttons.

                                  @mth75 well, you have to mess with mess (ahahahah) options, SHIFT+SCRLK, TAB, etc....
                                  unfortunately all systems are different, so you have to customize them separately.

                                  anyway, due to my 'way', all lr-mess systems are indipendent 'retroarch-wise', so if you customize options for one and save they will be kept.

                                    added amigacd32 to lr-puae.sh

                                    this is fixed now in my repo, its due to a bug in retropie helpers.sh not handling adding exts to es_systems.cfg correctly.

                                        Dude you're unstoppable. I've had a Bally Astrocade rom set rotting on my PC for ages. Thanks for the work. Hopefully as you said this will get added to the Retropie distribution!
