Different versions of PPSSPP simultaneously
-
Hello.
I have duplicated and modified the original PPSSPP installation script, to be able to install different versions, as if they were independent emulators.
So far everything is correct. But I find that I don't know how to make the configuration folders independent. All versions share the following address for configurations
/home/pi/.config/ppsspp.Does anyone know if PPSSPP supports setting this address?
Thank you.

Moved to the proper forum, this is not a 'Project & Themes' topic.
ppsspphonors theXDG_CONFIG_HOMEenvironment variable, so you can 'rewrite'/home/pito something else. Run it like so:XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/pi/ppsspp-ver-X /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp/PPSSPP-SDL ...and it will create the configuration folder in
/home/pi/ppsspp-ver-X/.config/ppsspp. -

Thank you

No idea then. Maybe overriding
$HOMEwould work ?HOME=/home/pi/ppsspp-verX ... -
Hi
@mitu said in Different versions of PPSSPP simultaneously:
No idea then. Maybe overriding $HOME would work ?
HOME=/home/pi/ppsspp-verX ...The same behavior, it creates a directory with the configuration, but when you run the emulator it uses the default directory
When I execute the command
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/pi/.config/ppsspp-1.10.3 /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp-1.10.3/PPSSPPSDL, the emulator is executed, it only occurs to me to enter this command in the command line that executes the emulatorppsspp-1.10.3 = "pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp-1.10.3; /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp-1.10.3/PPSSPPSDL --fullscreen %ROM%; popd", can you tell me how the command line would look like?Thank you

The easiest would be to create a separate
.shscript with the commands to run another version:ppspp-ver.sh:pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp-1.10.3 XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/pi/.config/ppsspp-1.10.3 ./PPSSPPSDL "$@" popdand then reference that script in
emulators.cfg:ppsspp-other-ver="/path/to/ppsspp-ver.sh --fullscreen %ROM%" -
@mitu Hello.
I have modified the emulator installation script as follows:
addEmulator 0 "$md_id" "psp" "pushd $md_inst; XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$home/.config/$md_id ./PPSSPPSDL ${extra_params[*]} %ROM%; popd"So that
emulators.cfglooks like this:ppsspp-1.10.3 = "pushd /opt/retropie/emulators/ppsspp-1.10.3; XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/pi/.config/ppsspp-1.10.3 ./PPSSPPSDL --fullscreen %ROM%; popd"And the operation is as desired, I have separate configuration files for the specific version of ppsspp.
Thank you
