@norbit911 Why do it backwards ? You can start the Desktop from EmulationStation, so leave EmulationStation running by default. If you wish to run the desktop also when exiting EmulationStation, modify the autostart.sh file and run the desktop startup command after the emulationstation line.

@Kaydron said in Emulation game-start scripts folder: I will be reading into shell scripting a bit more to hopefully eliminate questions here relating to shell scripts. If anyone has a couple sites that would be good reference paste them here. The canonical reference is https://tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/, highly recommended for anyone starting or learning Bash scripting.

@warpath0007 Please do not post a support request without first reading and following the advice in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

@bluestang Great, glad it's working. I removed the vc4 workaround stuff since it's not needed, and changed the init_delay to use seconds rather than milliseconds, since it's totally more useful with seconds (if people use video splashscreens). The installer script was also updated to have a brand new file/directory selector for the initial song and music directory options, making them actually usable without having to pull out the keyboard. Also fixed an issue with spaces in file paths and fixed some smaller niggling things (stopping used to spit out "Terminated blah blah..."). The only thing I'm planning at the moment is to maybe dynamically come up with some nice volume step values based off of fade_duration and max_volume to make just that little more "user-friendly" and remove that config option.

@VaultDweller did you look at the booklet that came with the case? If you lost yours I remember another post around here with the instructions, if I can find it...

Thanks. As soon as I posted here, I found this topic and with a bit of modification I was able to get it working. :)

@dthgti said in Launch script with Joystick: but, how do i autostart that on every boot? triggerhappy runs as a service when your system starts. Unless you've disabled it, it should read the configuration file and do the actions configured.

@Asmodeus04 I'm going to drop this for now. unless you you are using a CRT, the 120 hertz mode is not worth messing with. It's too choppy.

@joesnow81 well you have the sources, the wiki/docs and the helpful guys in this forum. A comfortable start position I would say. And for another piece of learning: This is the beauty of git, you don't have to wait for a fork or merge into master. See my notes here on how to try the PR by yourself.

@malingjc check content of your rc.local please. Can you post content of this file to pastebin.com please?

Thanks a lot, i solved it!!!

@ratedrguy said in Error running any script including RetroPie-Setup: Module /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/ports/openbor-6xxx.sh is missing valid rp_module_desc It looks like you created this file incorrectly - this file is not part of RetroPie - attempting to install another version of openbor. Deleting the file would have fixed the problem.

@Morotezuki - I would definitely check your local laws especially for something worthwhile as non-profit that helps other people. I've seen it more than once where you can legally rent arcade machines for non-profit use in the US. The key being a rental or even donations for non-profits/charities. After working with local law enforcement for 20+ years they would be hard pressed to turn something like that over to the State's Attorney or Attorney General for prosecution let alone those offices wanting to take the man hours and resources away from serious felony crimes. I've watched street cops make decisions off intent (was it good or bad) and they chose not to cite any type of citation, ticket or arrest due to that intent. When there's no unlawful intent they will usually leave it to the parties to find a resolution. Intent makes all the difference in deciding how to proceed. You can actually sue someone throwing paper on your lawn (or anything for that matter) but it introduces two challenges. Finding a lawyer to take your case would be near impossible (try calling a few and explain a weird situation, they'll have you off the phone before you can say prosecute) let alone a judge to rule in favor of a crime that opens the judicial system to abuse and tying up courts for petty crimes. It's like staying off the FBI's top 50 list of crimes. If you do it's more than likely you'll never see them knocking on your door, literally true. Should we go after the Pac-Man player trying to feed the homeless or a "new" serial killer or drug dealer dropping 5 keys of coke on the streets weekly. No contest. I imagine most of the members on the forums use ROMs illegally but the laws don't deter us old gamers much from doing what we love and I don't imagine they care that much. Anyway I would check your laws as there's usually a legal workaround especially when folks are trying to help law enforcement, juveniles or feeding the homeless, hungry, etc. They aren't there to strictly enforce the law to the letter or make a community miserable when it comes to doing good. Basically doing good for a community at large is a healthy great idea. I wouldn't give up trying to do good things! :)

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:
