Run Command

[battlecat]

Hello:

Is it possible to SSH into the RPi3 and disable the "Launch Menu"?

Thanks,

@battlecat yes. You could just go into the retropie menu in emulationstation and go right into runcommand from there.

@edmaul69 Can that be done from inside the SSH terminal? If not I was hoping to do this without taking a mouse and keyboard down to the setup and doing it that way.

Thanks,

@battlecat the retropie menu is on the main page where all your video game systems are. You use a controller that way.

If you are logged into your raspi via SSH as user pi:

sudo ~/RetroPie-Setup/retropie_setup.sh

When in RetroPie-Setup, go to:

Manage Packages -> Manage Core Packages -> runcommand -> Configure

I have a related question...

I have disabled the launch menu, and instead of the launch menu I get presented with the scraped images. The problem is that it doesn't do this for Dosbox games. Is there a clear reason why all other emulators display the scraped image but not Dosbox?

I manually created a gamelist and added images. It works in the list of games... just not when I launch them. I created shell scripts to run the files and have placed all dos related folders in a separate folder. Keeps the PC folder much tidier.

Maybe your dosbox related images don't match the filenames that runcommand looks for.

The images must:

• be placed at $HOME/RetroPie/roms/$system/images or $HOME/.emulationstation/downloaded_images/$system.
• be named as rom name-image.jpg or rom name-image.png.

If you are familiar with shell scripting, you can see the logic for showing images here, and maybe you can adapt your files to fit these requisites.

Ah, thank you @meleu .

I did not have the proper naming convention. I just updated the gamelist cfg to point to the image I threw in the folder. I didn't realize runcommand requires a specific naming convention. Now to update all the images and the gamelist. Sigh...

I think this convention was made to match the scraper one.
