@Botolo another Pull Request on README. Check it out. :-)

herb_fargus

@Botolo just out of curiosity how much overhead does this tool have?

I'd say almost nothing

@Botolo yeah I just tested it and it's very lightweight. Once we sort out the repository stuff we can add some things like the runcommand log. A few icon changes, maybe the colours too. I can get a working module that will automate the install somewhat and we can throw it on zerojays retropie-extra extra repository

Sounds good.
I'd like to add a syntax JS to the editor too.

Do you think we should get rid of the original recalbox variables?

I think yes. I'll try to do it tonight.

I found a problem. The RetroPie-Manager isn't able to show subdirs in ROMs directories.
For example, my /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes has the following subdirs:
0-9/
a/
b/
c/
d/
etcetera...

When I open the NES' ROMs dir in RetroPie-Manager, it's empty.

I know, but this could be tricky to solve since that module has been designed for a single level folder structure.

Thanks. I'm happy @meleu and @herb_fargus wanted to help :)

Hey guys!
A small update:
A did a small script to simplify the commands to start/stop the RetroPie-Manager.
Take a look at https://github.com/botolo78/RetroPie-Manager again ;-)

@herb_fargus made an adjustment and now the RetroPie-Manager can run on a ubuntu-based RetroPie.

@Botolo maybe you should rename this thread to "RetroPie-Manager web server", what do you think? ;-)

RetroPie-Manager web server

web app maybe?

meleu

@Botolo Well... It's really a server (a system that responds to requests across a computer network to provide a service). But we don't care about these formalities! Name it as you like ;-)

I know it's a server, but I don't wont to let people think you need to install a new server :D

@Botolo Do you mind if I modify it myself to port in my Backup/restore script into it?

I like the interface makes things alot smoother then the current way of doing things
