      @dirtbagxon said in New Hypseus and lr-Daphne to add on Retropie-Setup:

      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 simlinks.

      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 the --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.

      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.

                    Ok, I am seeing exactly what you are seeing, I can't immediately see why it's looking for the path it's looking for.

                    Will investigate....

                            @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
                                    • Is this on an external drive? FAT32 partition?
                                    • Permissions of folders correct?
                                    • Are you performing this from within daphne/singe?

                                      • Yes, fat32 usb stick.
                                      • I haven't messed with permissions. Is 755 fine?
                                      • Yes.

                                        @darksavior I'm fairly certain you can't create symlinks on FAT32. There is a thread here:

                                            Correct, you cannot create symlinks on FAT32. The filesystem doesn't support it.

                                            You can however, duplicate the data, i.e. copy timegal.daphne as timegal into the singe folder.

                                            Yes is doubling the amount of disk space, but I presume you have the same issue with lair and dle21 or ace and sae which use the same data for different versions of Dragons Lair/Space Ace ?

                                            You could also save space by linking them:

                                            ln -s lair.daphne dle21.daphne

                                            We are down to individual user cases now.

                                            There is a way around it but wasteful on disk space.
