TriggerHappy kicks a$$ .. thanks for pointing it out

@mitu thanks! Updated the command:)

Use another front-end, maybe ?

I wrote a server to deliver your stats, so now you can get them in your browser on your PC or on your phone. Currently looks pretty ugly since I haven't put any effort into that yet. But most of the functionality is there. If you want to test it out, install it by cloning the repo and run pip3 install . --user and start the server with retro-stats-server. Using your browser go to <retropie_ip>:5000. PC: Phone:

I've been considering compressing roms lately as I keep them uncompressed for all systems to prevent SD write cycles from extractions. These wouldn't extract or cache whatsoever, right? Also does RetroArch cache from my current .bin's and .cue's to "/tmp/Retroarch/"? I've been considering changing RetroArch's tmp to "/tmp/" (a RAM drive) but that would choke a pi3 if it tried to cache a PSX game, thus I'm trying to trim them without the need of extraction.

@mitu said in [TOOL] RPi ES Kids Mode Toggler: @KimDb said in [TOOL] RPi ES Kids Mode Toggler: @mitu, I've also provided a special build (the Mitu Build) with the feature you requested. Thank you, but you shouldn't have - it was merely a suggestion. It's less likely I'd use it, since I don't have a windows machine at home - where my Pi is sitting. Thanks anyway ! No problem. May be good though for anyone who reads this(, has Windows) and likes the idea as well.

Next days I'll translate to english the pdf with the instructions of the script, and included the file on gitlab too. EDITED (2019-08-23): Now instructions are translated to english.

@mitu Ah, that scuppers those plans then. I think I'll give this up as a failed experiment. I did manage to get Kodi to launch from my green button by importing psutil and check_output and changing the code to espid = int(check_output(["pidof","-s","emulationstation"])) es = psutil.Process(espid) es.suspend() Kodi = subprocess.Popen("/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/ports/Kodi.sh") Kodi.wait es.resume() But then the script would no longer start from my crontab on boot so not really usable.

@kok00 cmp does not care of file names, it compares content

tbh i really dont see the point, but ofc its possible to make a shell script call it whatever and execute. ./myscript

Thanks @mitu, that'll get me started :D

Is there anyone else who has ScummVm set up? What do you have in your <game>.svm?

@mitu I never tried playing them with omxplayer from command line i am sorry still new to all of this. I been working on this image from scratch for a few months now and just when i thought i was done i went and updated the script and this is what happened. The videos do play in the gamelist previews just fine. its when the screen saver kicks in is when i get the issue. This image is for an arcade1up cab and i use the screensaver option so that in can just run when i am not using it.

@mitu sure bro, again thank you very much

@cyperghost The output of my raspi-gpio get 3 was "level=0 fsel=0 func=INPUT", but if I put it in line 322 the Pi always turns off as soon as emulationstation loads, even if completely disconnected from the case. However, I just realised something... the power socket on the MEGAPi case it's not just a cutout, like the HDMI port, but it has its own little board, I didn't notice until now, I just mindlessly plugged the power directly to the Pi, and that was the problem, the multi_switch.sh now works perfectly. Sorry for wasting your time :( (however, the fact that multiswitch086.sh almost worked without using the power board was in itself impressive). As a partial way to make amends I'll correct an error on the installation instructions of the script: Here you have to add a sudo before chmod, otherwise it gives you "permission denied" wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/crcerror/ES-generic-shutdown/master/multi_switch.sh && chmod +x multi_switch.sh
