I must say, nice effort already ! 👍

@folly Cool, I'll give it a go. It sounds simple.... (famous last words)

Does it work any better though?

Don't answer that, I can find out myself.

Edit: I don't have the /ext directory...

Presumably because of this when I try to update the RetroPie Setup Script.

*Update failed:

error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:

scriptmodules/emulators/quasi88.sh
scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-vecx.sh

Please commit your change or stash then before you merge.

Aborting*

Ok, don't know what is causing this.
We skip the update part then.

Just run the script and move the created script module :

mv /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/ext/RetroPie-Share/scriptmodules/libretrocores/* /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores

That should do the trick.

Then install.

btw.
(You can read this, but if above works you don't necessarily have to update)
How did you do the update ?
In the command-line with git or in the retropie-setup.
Here is some info on the matter (naturally, you have changed files or added files, that's why it will not update) :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29338/cannot-update-origin-master-error
But I would not advice to use the commands in that thread, I don't know exactly what they do.
If nothing works, you can just rename the old RetroPie-Setup directory and git clone the new one.
I think you know what I mean with git clone etc.....

@folly Okay, that has worked, thank you... Do I install:

install-cdimono1-cmd
Or
-install-cdimono1-from-mamedev-system-cdimono1-cdrm

The Package Help information doesn't really help too much to choose between them.

On the GIT CLONE, I am sure I can work it out! But for the moment I might leave it as it is, nothing is broken and I have the systems I want working (apart from CD-I)!

@adambegood

Use the second -cdrm script.

Indeed, the package help is on the todo list.

Okay, that wasn't a criticism by the way. You've achieved loads already.

That works! Doesn't seem to run anything any better but I presume this is still being developed so maybe one day this will work through MAME. Thanks for the help!

Leave it for now.
I can't find it also, how to change the thread name.
In time I will ask someone who knows.
Then we can try again.

I know how you can change the thread name. (thanks to @Zering )
Just edit the first post, just retype the thread name, that should do the trick.
Here is a picture of my thread (type changes where I selected the text) :

Hi all,

So installing Valerino's scripting I got all my games to work with one caveat. the 'tempmess.cmd' file is always used to run a rom so mame/mess/retroarch sees every game as having the same name, so you can't save per-game configs, or have per-game bezels.

I modified his run_mess.sh file that takes the name of the rom and creates the cmd file with it, e.g. "Defender of the Crown.cmd". So now all the games have bezels unqieu to the game and custom screen settings for the bezels.

Is this change of interest to anyone?

Hi RussellB,

It is possible save per game configs, with this "hackish solution" :

I modified his run_mess.sh file that takes the name of the rom and creates the cmd file with it, e.g. "Defender of the Crown.cmd". So now all the games have bezels unqieu to the game and custom screen settings for the bezels.

This could be interesting,

Could you share your stuff in our thread ?
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29682/development-of-module-script-generator-for-lr-mess-and-mame-standalone

Then we can see if we can integrate something.

RussellB

@folly Will do!
