thebezelproject script doesn’t work

pscotto1234

Hi all,
I’m trying to install thebezelproject tool on my retropie but it doesn’t work. I followed all instructions from GitHub page but when I try to launch the script I receive this message:


pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/retropiemenu $ ./thebezelproject.sh 
./thebezelproject.sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `<'
./thebezelproject.sh: line 1: `<!DOCTYPE html><html style="font-size: 10px;font-family: Roboto, Arial, sans-serif;" lang="it-IT" system-icons typography typography-spacing><head><meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge"/><script nonce="V8+duoOZIaTvIIim/755Fw">var ytcfg={d:function(){return window.yt&&yt.config_||ytcfg.data_||(ytcfg.data_={})},get:function(k,o){return k in ytcfg.d()?ytcfg.d()[k]:o},set:function(){var a=arguments;if(a.length>1)ytcfg.d()[a[0]]=a[1];else for(var k in a[0])ytcfg.d()[k]=a[0][k]}};'

Could you help me to solve this problem?

My configuration is:
Raspberry pi 4 2GB
Power Supply 5V 3A
Samsung 128GB
Retropie 4.7.19

You've not followed their installation doc carefully and downloaded the wrong script.
Remove the install script you're trying to run, then look at their install page and follow the instructions there. You're also not supposed to run the script yourself, but open it through EmulationStation's menu entry.

@mitu I’ll give it a try asap. Thanks.

@mitu Now it works fine. I'll play a bit with this amazing tool.
I'll come back for help if needed :)
Thanks mate.

@pscotto1234 Be careful - keep an eye on how much disk space is used. Last time I used the bezel project script from inside Emulation Station it filled my sd card up with bezels that I didn't need ;)

Yes, I noticed this. I downloaded mame pack and it's more than 1GB. Is there a way to clean unecessary bezel?

@pscotto1234 I don't know, I used 'rm' from the command line, and ended up just downloading the few bezels I wanted "by hand" from the bezel project github and other places mentioned in this forum.

However, this got very tedious, so if you don't need the GB of space, just leave it there? The problem for me was that my card got totally filled and things like updates started to fail in way that I didn't notice :(

I think to do this:

from terminal ls > system_name.txt in each system folder to obtain a file containing roms name;
rename the listed file extension in .png ;
from terminal ls > system_image.txt in each bezel folder to obtain image list;
compare files for the same system to mantain only image name for roms not present in my collection;
with command cat system_name.txt | xargs rm I can remove not useful image;

I hope you understand my method :)
