Adding Runcommand

[OfficialAzyria]

i do want to thank everyone who has helped me

So i'm figuring everything out with editing my es_systems file and this might be a dumb question. So i'm adding gaelco and hikaru, what do i add as their run command? like the one i posted?

<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS ags %ROM%</command>

I mean, probably

<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ gaelco %ROM%</command>

and

<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 _SYS_ hikaru %ROM%</command>

right?

@sleve_mcdichael i don't think so, because Atomiswave and naomi had to have it as dreamcast for the run command. but the other ones i don't know.

@officialazyria have you read Add a new system in EmulationStation?

Step 3.1: launch ROMs with the runcommand script

Atomiswave and naomi had to have it as dreamcast for the run command.

It just depends on how you set it up. This simply tells the runcommand script to look for an emulators.cfg file in the stated folder (dreamcast, gaelco, etc.) in /opt/retropie/configs. If you want them to piggyback off your Dreamcast and Arcade setup then use dreamcast and arcade (or dreamcast and mame-libretro or dreamcast and fba.) If you want to be able to configure them independently (why else are you adding them as separate custom systems?), give them each their own unique command and a corresponding config folder.

You can copy the dreamcast and arcade folders as a template. Make sure you edit emulators.cfg and retroarch.cfg to reference the new folder.

@sleve_mcdichael i wish people would stop sending me that link, i already read it. i'm just asking what run command it needed to be

[sleve_mcdichael]

@officialazyria the runcommand just needs to point at whatever folder you want it to look for emulators.cfg in.

I'm seeing that "hikaru" is a Sega system similar to NAOMI and Atomiswave, so it might probably use the Dreamcast setup too, not Arcade. Gaelco is just a game publisher though, right? I don't know much about it but I've got Alligator Hunt running in my Arcade folder under FBNeo. What game(s) are you trying to play? What emulators do they require?
