Pie Galaxy: request for comments and testing (new release)

[ziggurat]

@MajorDangerNine oh this is great information!

You have just made me see the light in the end of that tunnel.

Still need to have a look at some of the installer scripts though. I need to see how the files are, and hopefully find an elegant way to detect and install them. Or else I could always have all the games on the exception list.

[MajorDangerNine]

@ziggurat Well, the ROM ZIP and BIOS ZIP are located in data\noarch\game.

For example, Metal Slug is like this after I extracted the Linux .sh installer with unzip.

gog_metal_slug_2.0.0.2\data\noarch\game\mslug.zip

gog_metal_slug_2.0.0.2\data\noarch\game\neogeo.zip

Message me back if there is anything I can do to help. You can also find me in the SBC Gaming Discord in my signature if you want to text chat in real time.

Huge update, asking kindly for more testers.

NEO-GEO games now work,
Reworked UI, feels much faster and is easier to use.
Can view the title picture of each game
Can browse and download extras for each game.

Thanks for this simple installation process.

@rao_12 Yeah it is even quite simple in the background, its just a huge hassle to do it by hand :D

I understand that this script downloads the games on their respective systems ROMS folders, isnt't it? It doesn't create a new system on EmulationStation nor it changes the emulators config or anything, right?

Anyway it's a great way to get your legal games fast and easy from GOG, thanks for making it :)

You are correct.

Heroes 3 is not compatible yet. Its still on my todo list, I need to package the open source port of it. Which is not straight forward and I haven't started that.

@ziggurat I'd really like to install this, but I get nothing but errors. Any chance this will be fixed so Wyvern and Innoextract are part of the installation? For some reason I keep getting permission denied for Innoextract (edit: finally got this installed). Pie Galaxy doesn't even install anything (fails to connect). Wyvern won't install. I'm not sure if this is an issue with newer Retropie builds or what. I'm excited to use it if it works though.

@ziggurat I've managed to install ok, but login doesn't seem to work. Could you advise on how to login with usr/pqd or with code? Thank you!
