Development of module-script generator for lr-mess, lr-mame and mame standalone

Folly

I can only download folders containing files with my function.
Theoretically it's possible to download only 1 file with the gdrivedl.py script however the fileurl is unknown.
Therefor the best solution is to just put the file in a separate folder without any other files.
~~Can you do that for me ?~~ Not needed anymore, I placed the file in my repository.

There is no tutorial for installing fmtowns using my script.
You can find some older stuff, that might be useful, over here :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/27806/tutorial-fujitsu-fm-towns-marty-with-lr-mess
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/27806/tutorial-fujitsu-fm-towns-marty-with-lr-mess/45
We also discussed these systems in this thread, for example, over here :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/28345/old-computer-appreciation-thread/1268

Basically it's just like any other install.
However some software does need more ram so I have added installer lines for fmtowns and fmtmarty in my section Systems: with extra options.
My advice is install these ones.

After that it's just a matter of adding the correct bios files.
You can check the /dev/shm/runcommand.log for the missing bios files after a failed run.

You should open a new thread reserving your fist post for a summarize on how to install things using my script.
That would be a good addition to this thread.

Your "Systems: with extra options thread?" meaning this thread here? starting from the top?

@duglor

You can find the section/menu item "Systems: with extra options" over here :

My advise is just to make a new thread, just like you did over here :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/33956/fujitsu-fm-towns-marty
( or just use that thread )

I changed the lr-gw install significantly as I wasn't happy about how it was earlier on.
Now the install basically works just like the install lines for mame/lr-mess/lr-mame and so the binary install will now also possible.
On top of the regular install I added the patches described in the commit.
I don't expect huge issues as I tested it, partly, myself.
However I want to ask you if you can test it too ?

Btw. I have added the emulators.cfg to my repository, that way I can do the download in proper way.

These are the commits :

Update :

The database and the add-mamedev-systems.sh are updated to match mame0252.

I also added a W.I.P. version called mamedev.sh.
This version differs from the add-mamedev-systems.sh.
Rather then generating and installing the generated module-scripts like add-mamedev-systems.sh does,
mamedev.sh will install systems directly without generating and installing module-scripts.
This script is also cleaned up a bit and installing a system works faster.
However, since this version doesn't generated module-scripts,
systems can't be removed by selecting the module-script from the experimental packages.
That's why it's a W.I.P. (Work In Progress) version.
So keep in mind, removing a system has to be done manually.

Without interfering each-other both versions can be added in :
/home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/ext/RetroPie-Share/scriptmodules/supplementary

For the mamedev.sh script you can use the same install procedure as mentioned in post 1.
Just used the name mamedev.sh instead.

Hi @DTEAM,

How is it going, everything ok ?

Today I installed channelf and noticed that there is no media when downloading the gamelist for channelf.

Is it gone or has it never been added ?

I also found that the games are not properly sorted in emulationstation.
I would like to change the range Videocart-1 - Videocart-9 to :
Videocart-01 - Videocart-09
Adding the zero makes sure that the games are properly sorted in the list of emulationstation.

I deleted it because it's now available on Screenscraper and the result is better with that site. Sorry, I forgot to mention it.

New Edit: Maybe I added some missing videos. If it's the case, I'll put those media on the drive

@DTEAM

I tested channelf with retroscraper and the result was very good.
So I agree, we don't need the predefined gamelist anymore.

I suggest removing the whole directory channelf so there is no misunderstanding about whether there is or isn't a full gamelist+media set.

Do you agree ?

Very strange that they are still not added.

New classich = Bandai Race Time

I will update the database when https://www.progettosnaps.net/ is updated. Curious if "Bandai Race Time" is added when I do an update on the classich.ini.

Btw did you try the nabupc of 0.252.
I did, but you have to run a server program locally.
