      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

                        @roslof 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.

                        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!

                                  @mth75 i'm doing it in (more or less) alphabetical order, based on the ones in hursty themes (i.e. https://github.com/RetroHursty69/es-theme-uniflyered). so, sure ... cdi will come :)

                                  EDIT: there you go, just committed lr-mess-cdi.sh :) you need .CHD games, i tested a bunch (defender of the crown, inca). read the help in my script to convert .cue/.bin to .chd, windows only unfortunately. when i have some time, i may do the same for unixes.

                                    How well does the CD-i games run with the script you've committed?

                                      @valerino I just submitted a new file for the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A

                                      Note: I also updated all of your scripts. They were breaking extensions and removing the name for each system in es-systems.cfg. Feel free to review them and take what you'd like. I added a couple more too. Eg. Vectrex, Oric Atmos.

                                      As for the TI-99/4A:
                                      It supports three (3) emulator variants (US, Europe and EV-PC) EDIT: and now, SPEECH!
                                      It also correctly appends the MESS-required ".rpk" extension. which I explicitly added to the script, and let helper function addSystem() handle the rest.

                                      Excellent results, and Joystick controls fully working out of the box. :)

                                        Hello all

                                        I am trying to get my vic 20 game to work however when I launch a game it defaults to c64 in lr-vice. I have tried to read and understand what is being written here but being honest it is a little over my head.

                                        can anybody give me any help regarding this...?

                                        Kind Regards

                                        CCF

                                          @CCFox Below are instructions for VICE. For LR-VICE @valerino should be able to support you.
                                          Info on how to setup Vic20 as default for Vice (multiple options) : here.
                                          You can even setup Vic20 as a separate System.

                                            @Zering well, it depends on lr-mess how well they work, my script is just a launcher. anyway, they works mostly fine, maybe sound a bit laggy.
