Runcommand doesn't seem to be obeying modified runcommand.sh

[UnluckyForSome]

Hi,

I'm trying to extend my runcommand image delay to more than the default 2 seconds, to get the "Launching Game" screen to hang around a bit longer.

I've modified the file in

/opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand/runcommand.sh 

and changed the IMAGE_DELAY on line 109 from 2 to 5:

        [[ -z "$IMAGE_DELAY" ]] && IMAGE_DELAY=5

However it seems to be having no effect at all, runcommand images still 2 seconds even after reboot. The change in runcommand.sh is definatelty sticking after a reboot, too!

I know there's a way to modify the delay time with RetroPie through runcommand in retropie setup (and on here it's still displaying it's set at 2 seconds), but I don't have a keyboard connected (using a GPi case) so I can't type a number in to change it this way. What's the reason modifying the runcommand.sh file isn't working?

Many thanks

@UnluckyForSome There is no need to edit this file. Also that line will set it, if it isn't already set in the config. You can change this from the runcommand configuration.

Either directly from RetroPie menu in Emulationstation or via RetroPie-Setup -> Configuration / tools

I missed the part about keyboard.

So you can edit /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand.cfg and change it there.

You can run RetroPie-Setup from another machine also. See the docs on SSH https://retropie.org.uk/docs/SSH/

@BuZz editing /opt/retropie/configs/all/runcommand.cfg did the trick, thankyou! :-)
