Problem under Linux

[ryuuji]

@porko
I will do that. Just have to try n64 and mame on my own to know that everything works as it should before I make a tutorial

[ryuuji]

made this for N64

Code : Tout sélectionner

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$1" == "Nintendo Entertainment System" ]; then
  echo "launching retroarch with game $2";
  cd /usr/bin;
  ./retroarch -L /home/ergo/Retro/Cores/nestopia_libretro.so -c /home/ergo/Retro/cfg/nestopia_libretro.cfg "/home/ergo/Retro/Nintendo Entertainment System/$2.nes";

elif [ "$1" == "Nintendo 64" ]; then
  echo "launching retroarch with game $2";
  cd /usr/bin;
  ./retroarch -L /home/ergo/Retro/Cores/mupen64plus_libretro.so -c /home/ergo/Retro/cfg/mupen64plus_libretro.cfg "/home/ergo/Retro/Nintendo 64/$2.v64";
  ./retroarch -L /home/ergo/Retro/Cores/mupen64plus_libretro.so -c /home/ergo/Retro/cfg/mupen64plus_libretro.cfg "/home/ergo/Retro/Nintendo 64/$2.V64";

else
  echo "system not supported ($1) (game: $2)";
fi

The problem is that the launcher will try to launch with the first exension and will give black screen and return to ZSpin and the launch again with the next entry pplus I m worried that if I add more lines like this for the other extensions will try to launch in the bg.
@vik maybe you can figure out a better way

I simplified your code a little;
for the n64, instead of passing a file directly, we call the "ls" command that search files.
we look for files named "rom_file.*" (* means everything) and then we limit the list to the first result (the "head -n 1" command)
(and this is untested but it should work)

Code : Tout sélectionner

#!/bin/bash

RARCH="./retroarch -L /home/ergo/Retro/Cores/"
RCONFIG="-c /home/ergo/Retro/cfg/"
ROMS="/home/ergo/Retro/"

if [ "$1" == "Nintendo Entertainment System" ]; then
  echo "launching retroarch with game $2";
  cd /usr/bin;
  ${RARCH}nestopia_libretro.so ${RCONFIG}nestopia_libretro.cfg "${ROMS}Nintendo Entertainment System/$2.nes";

elif [ "$1" == "Nintendo 64" ]; then
  echo "launching retroarch with game $2";
  cd /usr/bin;
  ${RARCH}mupen64plus_libretro.so ${RCONFIG}mupen64plus_libretro.cfg `ls -1 "${ROMS}Nintendo 64/$2.*" | head -n 1`;

else
  echo "system not supported ($1) (game: $2)";
fi

[ryuuji]

That looks great
Much cleaner and better organized
Will test it as soon as I can and come back with feedback

[ryuuji]

N64 does not work with the new config

[vik]

what does the output says ?

[ryuuji]

[ryuuji]

need your help @vik
modified it but it grabs only the first extension (v64)...

if [ "$1" == "Nintendo Entertainment System" ]; then
   echo "launching retroarch with game $2";
   cd /usr/bin;
   ${RARCH}nestopia_libretro.so ${RCONFIG}nestopia_libretro.cfg "${ROMS}Nintendo Entertainment System/$2.nes";

elif [ "$1" == "Nintendo 64" ]; then
   echo "launching retroarch with game $2";
   echo "${ROMS}Nintendo 64/$2.${EXT}" > logfile.txt
   cd /usr/bin;

else
   echo "system not supported ($1) (game: $2)";

[vik]

It can't work like that.

I have to test and debug it myself.

Test this ? (I moved a quote)
