Adding .py game to retropie ports

shou

@sleve_mcdichael @mitu
I am sorry for the very late response!

My bash script looks like this:

#!/bin/bash

python3 /mnt/D/pycharm/Project/main.py

I transfered the script via WINSCP to the ports location. I can access the file on my retropie but it gets executed and I immediately get back to the port location on my RetroPie.
Anybody know the problem here?

Thanks in advance!

@shou does the bash script work to launch your game, from the console?

shou

@sleve_mcdichael

Do you mean via the retroPie console with F4?
I did not try it. What is the command for executing it via console?

chmod +x /mnt/D/pycharm/Project/main.py

Will this work out or do I need to use the location of the py. File which has been transferred on the retroPie under ports?

@shou try executing the script with bash:

bash ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/mygame.sh

shou

@sleve_mcdichael
It says there is no such file or directory.

sleve_mcdichael

@shou replacing mygame.sh with the actual name of the scriptfile you made and placed into the "ports" folder, of course? Did you get the capital R and P in RetroPie?

Let's back up.

If you quit to console with F4 and use this command

python3 /mnt/D/pycharm/Project/main.py

...does the game works? Or, how do you make it work, from outside of RetroPie? Have to make that part work, before we can make it work from inside.

@sleve_mcdichael
yes, I considered the Capital R and P and I alos used the name of the originally file which i called "rungame.sh".

Using this command in console of retropie gives the same response as the previous one: No such file or directory.

Well to start the game outside of retropie I just open the python file which is saved on my Windows 10 Compter. Do I need to convert this file before uploading it to retropie?

It looks like Python itself is unable to find the main.py file at that location. That looks like path to a mounted network drive; are you sure it is mounted right?

I think you need to either figure out your network mount, or actually copy the file onto the retropie instead of run it off the network mount.

My bad, I explained it incorrectly.
The original file is located in my Hard drive D: on my windows 10.

I used WINSCP to connect from my windows 10 to my RetroPie. There I copied the file from my computer onto my RetroPie by drag and drop it in the Ports folder.

There I copied the file from my computer onto my RetroPie by drag and drop it in the Ports folder.

Then try:

python3 ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/main.py

Or if you've put it in a subfolder,

python3 ~/RetroPie/roms/ports/subfolder/main.py
