Did a commit : did a filter fix, so "coleco adam" and perhaps more systems can be created.

@folly I've got Apple IIGS working with no problem using valerinos script. Are you getting your BIOS from official mess packs?
Bearing in mind though we can run pretty much every Apple II the GS is somewhat different and has a unique library. -

Can you get the script working ?
I haven't had a chance yet, my Wife wanted me to look after the toddler straight from work, and I didn't get a chance all evening. It is on my to-do list.

No hurry,
All good things come slow !
So now your a github user too, happy programming.
Thank you for the star !
This is the first one for this repository.Added the help, run it with -h :
bash generate-lr-mess-systems.sh -h -
@folly Still haven't had time to dig into this, but don't think I'm forgetting. I'll get on it this weekend hopefully.
@AdamBeGood So what little time I've had to tinker I've spent on DOSBox. Thanks to your tips about sh files I now have a clean, tidy DOS gamelist. No directories everywhere, no thousands of executables, just a list of scripts that boot the games straight up. Beautiful.

@zering Glad to hear it! Cleanliness is next to Godliness. :p

@adambegood Also I got Baldur's Gate 1 & 2, Icewind Dale 1 & 2 and Planescape working on the pi with GemRB. Didn't know it was possible. Finally I can replay my favourite game of all time!

No problem
I know you are not forgetting this unique stuff,
I also can't be always behind the computer, so I understand.
I hear it from you later on.
Good luck with trying ! -

@adambegood Baldur's Gate 2.
It was very easy to do. You install the port and place the game data in the appropriate directory. The only thing is you need the original games, GemRB won't support the enhanced editions. It does support mods though.
Also ot seems Icewind Dale 2 isn't completable.
-
@folly But which game is your favourite? I've been thinking about getting the remasters on Switch anyway, seems a good thing to have for travel / holidays. When those things are possible.
-
@adambegood Like I said, Baldur's Gate 2 ^^

Doh! I didn't even see that line! Okay, maybe I need to play that then. Get on Monkey Island 2! :p
-
@adambegood Skipping the first one? That's not happening! ^^
I'm nearing the end of Fallout and after that I'm going to do Planescape as it's incredible and I never got far into it, but Monkey Island sounds good after that! -

On Dosbox you mean ?
In the dos period I didn't play much dos games.
Now I have a ton of games but little time.
I will go trough this some time.Btw. Did you both read this, nice idea ?

@folly When I run bash generate-lr-mess-systems.sh jaguar I get the below:

Looks like you are trying to run an html file.
Did you download the script correctly ? -

Go to the website and download it clicking on the button "code" -> "download zip" (https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share), then extract RetroPie-Share-main.zip. You will find the files in 00-script-00. Put these somewhere, in a seperate directory, on you pi.
do :bash generate-lr-mess-systems.sh -hread the help.
Or you can do (on the pi) :
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd pi@raspberrypi:~ $ git clone https://github.com/FollyMaddy/RetroPie-Share.git pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd RetroPie-Share/ pi@raspberrypi:~/RetroPie-Share $ cd 00-scripts-00/ pi@raspberrypi:~/RetroPie-Share/00-scripts-00 $ bash generate-lr-mess-systems.sh -hread the help.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
