Run roms directly from your desktop with a python script !

[Folly]

I want to share this with you all.

I have made a very simple script for running roms directly from your pixel desktop.
This last version is system independent and works best with libretro-cores.

Benefits :

• It comes in handy when you want to test multiple roms and not having to change every time from your desktop enviroment to emulationstation ;
• Or you just want to do a game between your normal desktop work.

You can download it with 'wget' in your terminal and then puts it on your desktop :

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/retropieXstation/master/retropieXstation.py -P $HOME/Desktop

Instructions on how to run the script are in the script itself.
Just load it in a text editor and read the text.

Hope you all enjoy this script.

I have made a verbose version of retropieXstation called retropieXstation-verbose.

It is created to find problems if roms or emulators do not work.

Beware : It only works with retroarch libretro cores and zipped rom files do not always work !

You can download it with 'wget' in your terminal and then puts it on your desktop :

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FollyMaddy/retropieXstation/master/retropieXstation-verbose.py -P $HOME/Desktop

Instructions on how to run the script are in the script itself.
Just load it in a text editor and read the text.

Hope you all find this verbose script usefull.
