@gomisensei Yes it is, when you enable launch images.

@caver01

I think you will want to setup another command in emulators.cfg where you could give your version a name and use Runcommand to select it for ROMs as needed.

This looks like it can do exactly what I need. Thank you!

Hi,
There are free utilities that can search an entire folder and remove that one character from all file names. Pretty sure it’s called Bulk Rename Utility. I used it to tidy up all my file names

@cyperghost out of curiosity, could you install rpie-art and see if the checklists will work?

Sorry to be so awfully slow, but I have had my arcade put aside for quite some time, but @meleu I now reformatted my ROMS USB to NTFS format and now your script works!

Well done and thanks!

Merry christmas to you all!

I figured out how to do this.

In case anyone is interested or cares, I just added the emulators.cfg info from /opt/retropie/configs/residualvm into the scummvm emulators.cfg from here /opt/retropie/configs/scummvm.

I then copied the grim-win.rvm into /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/scummvm and also edited the es_systems.cfg so ScummVM included .RMV files.

@lupin Check if you script has UNIX end-of-line, instead of DOS - https://superuser.com/questions/479756/eol-in-notepad-and-notepad.

@vretro said in Can’t Remove emulator choice for ROM:

@mitu that was quick, the directory flashes up so quickly, but I’ll try to record the screen to catch it.

Or try to catch it using the Pause key of your keyboard.

I don’t know how to repair permissions via terminal, will have to look that up.

It depends whether the owner is wrong or the actual access permissions. To change the owner, look up chown, to change the permissions, look up chmod. Or give us the output of this command after you found out the directory and we may tell you the necessary command(s).

ls -ld name_of_directory

@lupin said in Runcommand:

So will I be need to add many "IF <emulator> = " lines to one script

Yes, if you need different actions for each emulator.

@thedatacereal

On some n64 games the Emulator menu pops up... but I've ran into some... that do not give prompt, just a black screen until the rom loads ...I swear I just accessed that menu on Mario Kart the other day

It sounds like another emulator was launched prior to you using the N64 emulator and left the framebuffer in an unusable state. Two emulators that are currently known to do this are the standalone version of Stella (Atari2600) and DraStic (Nintendo DS). If such an issue happens, there's really nothing to do but restart your system, as restarting Emulation Station isn't enough.

@caz That is fantastic. I love the panel graphics!

@andershp You can use the following commands to create a list of your games for a system:

cd /path/to/gamelist.xml grep "<name>" gamelist.xml >> roms.txt

You can open roms.txt in a text editor and use the Find and Replace tool to replace the <name> and </name> tags with blanks. Then you can copy and paste the contents to a spreadsheet.

@mitu @chipsnblip Hahaha, wow. How embarrassing. Thanks, I will try this and report back.

Ok, I think I know what my problem is now. It's because I'm using the XboxDrv software to override the inputs when I load certain systems. When I first started using it, it was my understanding that I could use configure settings to load on-demand as needed whenever I wanted to use a different controller. For instance, when I play a Sega Genesis game, it detects I'm loading that system and runs an additional driver to let me use my 6-button Pad and the MayFlash adapter. It does this as part of the runcommand-onstart.sh. When the gaming session ends, it unloads the driver. Apparently the problem comes from it ALWAYS loading the driver, rather than only when I connect a controller to it. I discovered this by testing the various controllers after moving the Xbox Dongle to the Pi's USB Port 0. I can replicate it every time, with the controllers I have configured.

The NES system is configured to use an NES controller. So when I try to launch and NES game, RunCommand is looking for input from that controller only. When I connect a controller to that port, I can now access the RunCommand window. The same is true with Sega games. I can only access the RunCommand windows by triggering it from a controller connected to that port.

In both scenarios, the Xbox Controller works fine in game and in RetroArch. But I can't navigate RunCommand with it. In fact, I can't navigate RunCommand with anything other than the keyboard on any systems I have configured with XboxDrv. I don't have a configuration for SNES, so when I'm using my Xbox controller, everything works like it should. I can trigger RunCommand and navigate with the Xbox controller jut fine.

I think I need to go back through and examine my runcommand-onstart.sh settings. I might be able to get it working by adding an Xbox controller configuration to the settings.

runcommand-onstart.sh

That's my current settings.

@parasven said in Individual per game profiles for pcsx2 [x86 only]:

Do you by any change know if there is a guide or wikipage, in case i would want to create a scriptmodule?

I answered this kind of question here.

@hoover40 have you tried the RetroPie-joystick-selection tool?

It has not the exactly same flow as you described, but you can achieve what you want.

Link on my signature.

After looking at the code of runcommand.sh i came to the conqlusion, that what is was trying to do is probably not feasible.
So i came up with a different solution to what i wanted to achive.

@mitu

Thank you! Your advice was golden! Working with Qtcreator is so much better.

@nemecyys said in runcommand-onstart.sh pass data to python script:

Because im running this python script every time i run onstart.sh or onend.sh does that mean there will be LOTS of instances of it running?

On normal typical usage, no. The runcommand script calls the onstart one and waits it finish. The way you're invoking your python script in onstart also makes it wait the python script to finish.

Then, from what I'm seeing from the codes, I believe that there won't be lots of instances running.

With a Bash Script:
Would this also be the case?
Would i want to exit the bash after running and achieving the desired result?

There's no need.

*also, any links to some of meleu's coding goodness?

You can find links to some of my scripts on the "useful topics" post (link on my signature). You can find many other useful info there. ;-)

Oh, as @cyperghost said, we usually use this thread to talk about shell scripting.

By the way, you asked above and I'm not sure if you got an answer: the /dev/shm/runcommand.log file is deleted after a shutdown/reboot.

@jonnykesh At first I updated the standalone mupen64plus package from source but it didn't solve the problem so I updated the lr-mupen64plus package too.

In reddit someone wrote that it should work from now on with an update from the binarys.
I tried the mupen64plus update from binarys and now it works :D
