@mitu said in Modify Power Button Behaviour to 'Hold for three seconds'??:

You can increase the bouncetime from 2sec to something larger.

Even as it is now, just a single quick push will shut the software down - i dont have to hold the button at all.

Perhaps I need to use a different script that relies on the button being held.

@JToivonen got what you mean and here is the "un modified" solution...simply if you're playing plug the usb controller and when you finish just unplug it and it will shutdown automatically!, even when a power trigger happens "electricity went off then come back again" and found that your gamepad isn't connected it will shut down :)
here is the python file you just need to edit the line that kills qjoypad to kill whole system add poweroff or shutdown -h as you use in your momentry switch
don't forget to make the file run at start and special thanks to pablo

idea behind the script is that system creates a js0 file for controller 1 inputs and js1 for controller 2 when connected and so on, the script searches for that file if it's found that mean you've connected the gamepad and probably playing a game and when you finish unplugging the gamepad removes js0 file and when the script discovers the file is not found it kills an app process called qjoypad which you'll change to shutdown

please note you're not gonna use //User Variables section in this code so just ignore it.

If interested, I can also raise another PR at some point regarding my post above, where I have custom launching scripts for A500, A600, A1200, and CD32 and a modified emulators.cfg to suit. Maybe you can take a look at it and see if you are happy to add it in. I know it's x86 only and probably not a priority but I think it improves on the defaults for those who use it.

git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup.git

Great tip: it worked !
Currently updating all installed cores.

Thank you so much !

Ok I've tested jslisten but only accept 4 button pressed at once and seems no button sequence working...

Sorry for the late reply... ;-(

@joelkolb I'm glad you like this. I did this more as a "proof of concept" since I don't really use save states. There will very likely be a whole batch of errors in this scripts... ;-)
Nevertheless, I corrected the script to work with games with dots in their names. If you install the script now, this should work out of the box.
As for the timer, that can be changed from inside RetroPie. The setup added a configuration script to the main RetroPie menu

@cyperghost Thanks for helping with the quick fix!

@robertybob I have no intention of adding any of my scripts to the "official" RetroPie setup. This is more of a side project or hobby to me. Having more users means having more problems as my scripts have not been thoroughly tested. This would create frustrations on all sides. Now, if someone were to fork my projects and take over support for that fork... I wouldn't have a problem with that.

@ExarKunIv You either need to manually activate the setting to create a thumbnail on saving states or the first savestate won't have one. If you use my script to start a ROM with a savestate that setting will be set to TRUE by the script. This will be done per system, as @joelkolb said

I get the following error in the installation menu and then it kicks me to the command prompt.

1. RCLONE x 1a. Test for RCLONE binary [ NOT FOUND ] x 1b. Download RCLONE binary [ FAILED ]

Is this setup script too outdated now?

I finally figured out cloud sharing on my Windows computer and also Android devices today through RetroArch. :)

Would very much love to get that rolling as well in Retropie.

For reference, I did follow the initial instructions found here like suggested:

NIce one, that fixed it!

@mitu I don't want to screw anything up that's why i ask really dumb questions man. Yeah that worked, appreciate the lesson Mitu. Thanks again for your time have a great day / weekend.

someone asked about this on reddit a few weeks back, and i told them to add it to:
/opt/retropie/configs/all/autostart.sh

expressvpn connect &
emulationstation

it seemed to work for them. here's the thread for reference.

@tigerknee That seems an over complicated stuff to do. The problem with ES running at same time as X.org was because input devices losing controll. I don't know if that is still true. Does it work fine, while the desktop is still running, like playing games and return to the desktop?

@zzz

Thanks for your solution, it's doing most of the job for me, but neither of my joysticks seem to wake the device back up. A keyboard stroke does wake the device though.

They are cheapo $40 amazon joystick kits, registering as js0/js1. Pi 3b+.

I tried OP's script, but it appears to not stay off for more than a couple seconds.

Were you able to find a workaround perhaps?

@nowun said in <SOLVED!> Retropie with C4 labs galaxy LED case mod.:

@clyde Thank you! That worked perfectly. I added "sudo python /home/pi/caseled/galaxy.py &" in before emulationstation and it boots up like a charm pre loaded with the settings I edited the script for the LED's.

If the script doesn't need administrative rights, you can omit the sudo before the command. It adds a tiny yet easily done bit of security to your system.

Did you find solution for that?

@mitu Seems a bit odd to launch a shell script for the sole purpose of launching another shell script, but it works. Thank you

@kgriffin said in a set up script error:

I have asked them for help regards this but have got no reply to any of my emails.

This is not surprising.

Pity you got taken advantage of. It's quite the lucrative business model to take other people's work, sell it as your own, then send the users to people you stole it from for support! Why didn't I think of this? Id be a bajillionaire!

@mrsco I fixed it :)

I added "--aspect-mode fill" to the omxplayer lines and that seems to fix it.

What it looks like now:

if sub: os.system( "omxplayer --aspect-mode fill -b --layer 10010 -o both '" + url + "' " + resolution + " --vol " + str(volume) + " --subtitles subtitle.srt < /tmp/cmd" ) elif url is None: pass else: os.system( "omxplayer --aspect-mode fill -b --layer 10010 -o both '" + url + "' " + resolution + " --vol " + str(volume) + " < /tmp/cmd" )

Thanks for the help
