@Folly

Cool thanks ill give it a try

7. Final Steps

Scripts need to be executable!
After placing the scripts in their respective directories, this can be done by running:

chmod +x /home/pi/led_ram_daemon.sh chmod +x /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/scripts/system-select/led_ram_systems.sh chmod +x /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/scripts/game-select/led_ram_games.sh

Rebooting Pi to ensure the daemon starts properly and the LED color patterns are correctly applied.

## HAVE FUN AND ENJOY!

@sleve_mcdichael said in avoid or get rid of messages after scripts were executed:

/dev/null

the first one did the trick :)
thank you!!!
i ve been looking for a solution for a long time
and now this made my day

@pinomnomnom said in script driven message to alert user while in emulationstation:

but where can I read more about what's needed to use SHOW_MSG?

Maybe the source or the PR that added the functionality, I can't find any other reference in the Libretro docs about it.

@CubeSteak said in Doom Help 2024:

What do the permissions need to be for it to work and how do you modify them?

If you copy as you do for the other ROMs, permissions shouldn't be a problem. See our docs for transferring ROMs.

Since it is accessed through the Doom II script and game, is the script I put in for that particular WAD useless and can be deleted?

Yes.

@mitu it seems that in Debian (LXQT) this issue is not present. I think i'll just switch to it. I assume that this bug is related to the GNOME desktop environment

@abj Will look thru these again, thank you

@abj wird that works :) thnx

whel thanx to @mitu whit out nowing it igot it to work i think.
the problem was the first stap what i dident notis.
and @mitu did say i a noder post "
The GCC version included in Raspbian Buster is stricter now and because of the all warnings being treated as errors compilation parameter, it refuses to compile libhid.
What you can do is to remove the -Wall usage by running configuring the libhid build (and probably the other libraries included), with

./configure --disable-warnings "
wel so i try that and its working.
so for so far i can thel i can turn the leds on and of using the command line (in terminal).
hope the rest is working to i gone try that now.

@mitu alright thanks man! this will help me so much on this project!

@roslof This reply is amazingly detailed, thank you for taking the time to write this up. End result: your instructions helped make everything work perfectly and I am now able to run the older versions of lr-mame. Thank you again!

@mitu u r right! Thanks buddy.

@mitu thanks foru tour answer, in fact i compiled manually attractmode when 'attractmode' was not available in retropie downloads script for raspberry pi 4 but anyway it's working like a charm.
So i guess if is there a way

@windg I don't think the GL Renderer it will work on a Pi, AFAIR it needs OpenGL 3.3 (not OpenGL ES) and the PI4 supports 2.1 only (see here).

If your Pi has a keyboad, you can also press F4 in Emulation Station to get to its command shell, and then enter sudo nano /opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh to edit the file. In the editor, press Ctrl+xfollowed yand Enter to leave and save the file (or press n to not save it). You can leave the command shell by entering exitor pressing Ctrl+d.

Finally, you can also use SSH (Secure Shell) to access your Pi. See the Docs about that.
