Removing PC Game files in Retropie?
-
On my Raspberry Pi I have installed and copied a heap of classic DOS based games from the 90s that i grew up with. Now in regards to the MS DOS\Dosbox menu in retropie, is there any way possible to hide the files from within the games folder (without deleting them completely), just to avoid having them appear in the Dosbox menu in retropie and having to navigate through all the files to find the correct executable file?
Some folders arent such an issue with just 2-3 files (usually an install file, a set up file and the game file), but then the bigger more complex games can have 20-30 files in the folder.
Any ideas or help would be great!
Thanks! -
@Neptune one idea is to have all your Dos games each in their own folder and then set up a shell script to launch each game. It's a little more manual work, but that way you only have to worry about one file per game

@herb_fargus Thanks for that info mate, much appreciated! Works a treat, will just have to replicate it a fair few times for all the games but thats fine! All in good time!
Cheers!
