      @dirtbagxon No change. Same error messages.

      Ok, maybe it needs --datadir argument, I have edited the daphne.sh above with that argument for the singe games - replace it with the new content - does that work ?

      --homedir and --datadir I have always specified previously, so let's stick with that....

      I thought I tried that and appended the $dir or something, but I recall it didn't work correctly. Will play around with this in a bit.

        Be sure ALL game-related files are pulled out of subfolders and placed into the main <gamename>.daphne folder. The subfolders should be empty and discarded. Feel free to backup first, just in case.

        Agreed, in this case of timegal but subdirectories can be there in other games, again dictated by the .singe file.

          No --homedir and --datadir are the root of daphne, so roms, singe etc are subdirs from there.

          You shouldn't append game names to those arguments.

            Right with you. This is my current setting, but still need to use the symlinks.

            I believe in order for this to work, there needs to be a dynamic argument that moves with the folder name you select from EmulationStation. So using Time Gal as an example:

            timegal.daphne is the folder
            The script parses this into $name as timegal and $dir as timegal.daphne (I believe).
            The script resides in timegal.daphne -- but -homedir and -datadir are a level higher.
            So everything in timegal.daphne is ignored by the script, as it's using the directory one level higher.

            If $dir can be used to dynamically move with your selection, I think this will work without symlinks. But I'm still pretty junior here, so might be missing something.

              Also guys, might be useful to see the full output of the commands:

              cat /dev/shm/runcommand.log

              after any failures.

                Let me try and replicate this, and see what is happening.....

                  OK, I think we have been overcomplicating

                  This works for me on the command line:

                  hypseus.bin singe vldp -script ~/.daphne/timegal.daphne/timegal.singe  -framefile ~/.daphne/timegal.daphne/timegal.txt -homedir ~/.daphne/ -datadir ~/.daphne/

                  This doesn't

                  hypseus.bin singe vldp -script ~/.daphne/timegal.daphne/timegal.singe  -framefile ~/.daphne/timegal.daphne/timegal.txt -homedir ~/.daphne/

                  So, it's the -datadir that is needed.

                  My fault I should have put -datadir in the first version of the new daphne.sh script.

                  No need for symlinks, or singe subdir, just this:

                  roms
|-- daphne
|    |   
|    |
|    |-- timegal.daphne     
|    |    |-- timegal.commands  (Optional)
|    |    |      
|    |    |-- timegal.txt 
|    |    |-- timegal.m2v
|    |    |-- timegal.ogg
|    |    |-- timegal.singe

                    So take the daphne.sh that is there now above, move all the symlinks and subdir out of the way and try that.

                    Give:

                    cat /dev/shm/runcommand.log

                    For anything.

                    I need to see the full output to see what emustation, or whatever, is actually doing...

                        Can you also give the output of your timegal directory:

                        ls -al /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/timegal.daphne

                        Would be useful to see the structure is the same as mine.

                                  roms

                                  What was missing was the symlink below:

                                  ln -s /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/daphne/singe /opt/retropie/emulators/daphne/singe

                                  And the new daphne.sh

                                      @dirtbagxon yes, this structure is MUCH prettier and covers all the bases. Tested, and works as expected. Great stuff!! ...yet another day of your life sucked into the vortex of HypseuSinge.

                                      Really appreciated.

                                          Good deal. I was prepping a list of possibilities. Sounds like you're close now. Fingers crossed.

                                            @roslof Spoke too soon. Tried multiple times. Trying ln -s ../timegal.daphne timegal

                                            ln: failed to create symbolic link 'timegal': Operation not permitted
