      @mitu

      Thanks for that. It worked perfectly. It is actually great news that the boxart splash screen is a separate location and separate file. It means I can create a specific "help" splash screen with the boxart and button mappings so that when I start a game it reminds me how to play the game.

      @dudleydes Ha ha :D I'll have a go, but in my entire 18 months of using WinSCP I don't think its comedy search function has ever successfully found ANYTHING.

      You are right! It works.
      Now I have to duplicate and rename the scraped favorite roms.

      Thanks for support!

      @hiulit said in Runcommand shows same name for different emulators:

      @mitu Could it be possible to launch a ROM without asking which emulator to use? I mean, when I select a gb game, can I know it's a gb game and consequently launch its respective emulator?

      Sure, you can do that, but you'll have to basically add each game to the emulators.cfg and specify its emulator, just like when normally choosing the emulator through the Runcommand launch menu. Runcommand does not have a 'match by wildcard', but a 'match by name' based on the emulators.cfg file. The downside is that each game must be explicitly added with its emulator - you can do this through your script, but any subsequent game added in the new system will have to be processed again by your script.

      Again, much easier would be to create a Collection and this will automatically taken care of by Emulationstation (i.e. launch the correct emulator). You're basically re-inventing a custom Collection from scratch, but trying to shoehorn it in the Runcommand launch sequence.

      Can I have more than one default in the same emulators.cfg?

      No, that's not possible.

      Starting to see a pattern actually that it only works if I run it from the remote ssh connection AFTER the game starts. Can't remember if that was always the case but perhaps I can add some delayed start to a script so that it runs in the bg after the rom loads.

      I guess the fbi (image viewer) used to display the .png file does not support transparency ?

      Ahh ok, that makes sense. It seems it defaults to a gray background. I wonder if there's a way to either have it default to a black background OR make the side bezels match the gray background i'm getting from the .png

      Edit: I had something here about killing Joy2key, but after reading your post more carefully, it wouldn't apply. I'm not sure keyboard input can be ignored here. I assume you know that the Runcommand menu can be deactivated altogether.

      @mesym Well I don't know what's wrong but this worked for me. It starts Tetris and shows me pointer adress. Something wrong with your py-fu?

      import os import time import subprocess p = subprocess.Popen(['/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh','0', '_SYS_', 'gb', '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/gb/Tetris (JUE) (V1.0) [!].gb']) while 1: print(p) time.sleep(5)

      @mitu said in still cannot change or remove the video choice on emulator on the Runcommand Launch Menu:

      @ahmad8mk said in still cannot change or remove the video choice on emulator on the Runcommand Launch Menu:

      sudo chown -R pi:pi /opt/retropie/configs

      No, I said removing the file. So just run rm /opt/retropie/configs/psx/emulators.cfg OR provide the contents of that file.

      By removing this file, every game I try and boot now says "no config file" and crashes back to the main menu? This is a bummer

      I had to reinstall every single emulator, which was a bummer, but fixed the issue with roms not loading with that error. But I still cant change some emulators for certain games, according to other posts it seems like its a permissions error, so I'll diagnose that. BUT for people trying to solve this, dont delete that emulators.cfg unless you want to have to reinstall an emulator.

      @cheesymonkey please don't bump ancient topics.

      For your controller model, you should install the xpadneo driver and then (re-)map the controller in EmulationStation, you don't need xboxdrv unless nowadays unless you're trying to set-up some special mapping (i.e. emulate 4way joysticks, keys pressed on button combo, modify the deadzone, etc.)

      If you still have issues after installing xpadneo with the gamepad, please open a separate topic.

      @buzz I figured as much after posting.

      Just on idea on the splash screen set-up: right now if the system has a launching.[png|jpg] in the /opt/retropie/config/$system folder, it's shown as splash screen. Can we add also the /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/$system as search path for the launching.[png|jpg] file ? This way copying the ROM folder would copy the launch image and it would make it easier to transfer/backup the launching image ? It can also be something like /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/$system/images/launching or /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/$system/media/launching (which I'd prefer, since scrapers can save information in the media folder).

      @spud11 I am using the "Filemanager" menu option now. I created a bash script to test how runcommand worked.

      But, if as you said, I can create a bash script to invoke joy2key and then mc, I might as well do that.

      I did not expect that this kind of change would be so difficult to make :(

      @edmaul69 Ah, that was it. I switched it to:

      Launch menu joystick control (currently: Disabled)

      and now it works.

      I can press Start and get into the runcommand menu. Thanks!
