Now that I am back to playing with Wayland/Sway, I found the best solution is what @etheling was doing...using imv as the image viewer. The difference is that I am using runcommand-onstart.sh to display the loading screens so I don't have to mess with editingruncommand.sh. The key is to NOT name you launch images *-launching.png (I use *-launch.png) as this will invoke feh via runcomand.sh.

#!/bin/bash ROMPATH="$3" ROM_BN_EXT="${ROMPATH##*/}" ROM_BN="${ROM_BN_EXT%.*}" LAUNCHIMAGE="/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/$1/images/$ROM_BN-launch.png" imv-wayland -f -s full -x "$LAUNCHIMAGE" & &>/dev/null IMG_PID=$! sleep 4 imv-msg "$IMG_PID" "q"

@mitu оООО!
Oh thank you! on the hundredth attempt, it still worked itself

-magic!?))

@mitu said in runcommand launch art and Skyscraper images:

Are you sure you're modifying the right file ? The file in the $HOME/Retropie-Setup is not used at runtime, it's just the source, when installed it's copied in /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand - which is used to for launching.

Aha, yes I was modifying the one in $HOME. I’ll try the one in /opt tomorrow and see if that does the trick.

Edit: I snuck a peek while closing up for the night and that was it, thanks for the tip! Now I wonder if there’s a way to get the transparent background to display as black instead of that light grey...

@jedcooper Sorry, never got around to fixing it. My menu widgets are already disabled, but the issue persists. I'm assuming that it's a similar issue to the one people are reporting with widgets, but not sure what more to do with that information unfortunately.

My other approach.. has been to emulate SNES on my Wii, haha. For an unrelated matter, I'm getting a VGA666 board in the mail some time. I don't expect that it will make a difference with this particular issue, but I'll give it a try anyway and report back if it makes a difference.

@guy-0 said in Run a command after logging off pixel:

Should I have done it through CLI instead?

No, installing from RetroPie-Setup is fine. I wonder why the onstart script doesn't work though, the desktop is launched via runcommand.

@dclegend By default, there are no onstart, onend scripts - it's an extension that can be used by users to add their own customizations.

This should be handled automatically - via the renameModulefunction in the scriptmodule. See for instance here.

@buzz Am aware, but i didnt know what the issue was. Thanks.

@LiquidDivide thanks for the awesome scripts!

I made some local changes and hacks to get it working on my own system, not pretty enough to contribute. I hope I get some time to clean it up and contribute it back.

Oops just found it (here: opt/retropie/configs/all/emulators.cfg)

Sorry, topic closed!

@mitu Thanks! :Banghead: Now that was a typical case of "Betriebsblindheit" (1) inmidst my current setup orgy - Sigh. Should have also tried 'em without the bindings 1st. !

[1]: I never came along a real translation for that, but Target fixation or Tunnel vision (metaphor) may come close to it.

@goldug said in Runcommand messes up resolution for some reason:

because I hadn't changed anything, but yes, it seems there is now for some reason.

You added something, there is nothing in stock RetroPie that creates those files automatically.

@CapNinja said in 3 Questions, 1 Noob:

But I want to save the image scaling to all games in that system. Is that not possible?

It is, the same Overrides menu has a Save Content Directory override, which saves the settings for the entire folder.

@BuZz editing /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand.cfg did the trick, thankyou! :-)

@BuZz Thanks, BuZz. I am using a 3rd party image, so I am exempt from assistance. I'll try elsewhere...

@WeirdH I fixed that issue by using brackets around the code.

renamed it and it still works
I don't know what the problem was but renaming it seemed to make it work
