How well does the CD-i games run with the script you've committed?

@valerino I just submitted a new file for the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A
Note: I also updated all of your scripts. They were breaking extensions and removing the name for each system in es-systems.cfg. Feel free to review them and take what you'd like. I added a couple more too. Eg. Vectrex, Oric Atmos.
As for the TI-99/4A:
It supports three (3) emulator variants (US, Europe and EV-PC) EDIT: and now, SPEECH!
It also correctly appends the MESS-required ".rpk" extension. which I explicitly added to the script, and let helper function addSystem() handle the rest.Excellent results, and Joystick controls fully working out of the box. :)
TI99/4A Boot Screen:
Parsec (of course!):

Hello all
I am trying to get my vic 20 game to work however when I launch a game it defaults to c64 in lr-vice. I have tried to read and understand what is being written here but being honest it is a little over my head.
can anybody give me any help regarding this...?
Kind Regards
CCF

@CCFox Below are instructions for VICE. For LR-VICE @valerino should be able to support you.
Info on how to setup Vic20 as default for Vice (multiple options) : here.
You can even setup Vic20 as a separate System. -
@Zering well, it depends on lr-mess how well they work, my script is just a launcher. anyway, they works mostly fine, maybe sound a bit laggy.

@roslof thanks for the addition, great!!! can you make me a pull request with all the emulators you added ?
Note: I also updated all of your scripts. They were breaking extensions and removing the name for each system in es-systems.cfg. Feel free to review them and take what you'd like. I added a couple more too. Eg. Vectrex, Oric Atmos.
btw, about the extension.... few commits ago i committed a fix to scriptmodules/helpers.sh. that was the culprit of adding one space more between the extension.
also the name removing bug should be fixed in all (yesterday) versions of the scripts.EDIT: yep, i can confirm.
https://github.com/roslof/RetroPie-Setup/commit/ae10af7f118df140c76a3434708469ed67ad8831 (your changes)
https://github.com/valerino/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-mess-dragon32.sh (one of my script)you have somewhat outdated files, you probably took single files from my repo.
never do that if you want to help developing: clone my repo and always git pull then commit your stuff, then do me a pull request :)
this is because i also added stuff to retropie files helpers.sh and packages.sh, to avoid i.e. writing system name in multiple places (so that can be used in all scripts, not just lr-mess).
awaiting your proper pull request so, great work! -
@CCFox you can use my RetroPie-Setup repo which have lr-vice-vic20 script.
alternatively, just copy https://github.com/valerino/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/libretrocores/lr-vice-xvic.sh to your RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules folder and relaunch the setup.

@UDb23 looked into that post. unfortunately not.
it can be surely done in the same way i did for lr-mess (so doing a 'trampoline' script like run-mess.sh), as far as i see there's no way to add custom retroarch core options (as needed in lr-mess for every system, or as for these lr-vice options) directly from the installer using the default runcommand.sh.this is the function which should be, imho, changed in retropie core scripts to support this in the proper way (so, without the need of something like my run_mess.sh):
https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/helpers.sh#L1276as a side note, this probably may be done also via custom scripts as described in https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/runcommand. but, this is something the user must do later, messing with scripts and stuff. i'd really prefer an as-much-as-possible 'readymade' solution directly from the setup script.
i think some core devs should jump in this thread, i can do these changes for sure .... but messing with the core script is more invasive than what i'm doing now, so i'd prefer to hear their opinion :)

added Acorn Electron

@valerino Understood, thanks.

added Coleco Adam
i really hope all this gets added to the retropie distribution ..... i'll add a bunch of other emulators (and try to fix bbcmicro), then i'll retry to submit a pull request :)
I for sure love your work. Missing emulators which can be added with lr-mess should be included (at least) in the retropie distro.

@mth75 not yet, i'm waiting for @roslof proper pull request. adding stuff manually to repos is the way to break things :)
-
@valerino working on this now.

Thank you for your reply.
I still can't get the xvic to work....This is what I have done:
I have copied vice_xvic_libretro.so to the /opt/retropie/libretocores/lr-vice folder.
I then copied the c64 emulator config file and replaced the c64 instruction with this:
lr-vice = "/opt/retropie/emulators/retroarch/bin/retroarch -L /opt/retropie/libretrocores/lr-vice/vice_xvic_libretro.so --config /opt/retropie/configs/vic20/retroarch.cfg %ROM%"
default = "lr-xvic"
and saved it as vic20 and placed in a folder called vic20 in the /opt/retropie/configs folder
I then copied the c64 entry and changed the details for the vic20 in the es_systems.cfg file:
<system>
<name>vic20</name>
<fullname>Commodore VIC-20</fullname>
<path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/vic20</path>
<extension>.crt .prg .tap .zip .CRT .PRG .TAP .ZIP</extension>
<command>/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 0 SYS vic20 %ROM%</command>
<platform>vic20</platform>
<theme>vic20</theme>
</system>I took out the unrelated c64 rom extensions.
And still no joy...Any further pointers?
Thank you for your previous help

@CCFox why dont you simply use my script? clone my repo replacing RetroPie-Setup folder completely, then install lr-vice-xvic as normal.

Valerino
I did copy the lr-vice-xvic.sh and relaunched the setup but I couldn't see the option for lr-vice-xvic.
I looked in the experimental etc and it wasn't there....What am I doing wrong?
Very new to this.
-
1. Exit RetroPie Setup
2. Be sure that lr-vice-xvic.sh is located in ~/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/libretrocores
3. Restart RetroPie Setup
4. Manage Packages
5. exp
6. Scroll the list until you spot the packagePer Valerino, just clone his repo :)
