@mitu thank you for your reply, sorry i was distracted for a few days. I didnt figure out how to make variables work but i was able to make a txt file that i could read/write as a varriable so im good now.

@mitu Yes! That worked! You genius! This is the edit I made to system.sh
i changed
;;
ODROID-XU3)
__platform="odroid-xu"
;;

to

;;
ODROID-XU4)
__platform="odroid-xu"
;;

@administrators So I am guessing that the next update should have code for both ODROID-XU3 and ODROID-XU4, linking them each to "odroid-xu".

@logiseye said in System Environment Variable pointing to RetroPie dir?:

@horaceandspider Just tried your tip. Unfortunately e.g. UAE config maker fails, since not only /home/pi is burned in, but also the username pi (e.g. chown pi:pi gets called). And amiberry does seemingly not like symlinks.

@logiseye scripts should be able to use ~/RetroPie. That will point to the RetroPie directory in the home directory of the current user.

All the paths on UAE Config Maker can be changed using the command-line options:

--scandirs
--outputdir
--rom-path

The RetroPie Menu script, you are correct, does use a chown to 'pi' but that can be manually edited, and the script is only provided for less technical users, and is not really the suggested running method.

I will look at switching to ~/RetroPie by default however which seems a clean solution

@mickw87 where is this webshop you speak of?
