Thanks i will try this later tonight.

This great😁

One question: what location do i need to put my python scripts?

I assume /usr/bin is read only.

Well good question I never tried to run any python scripts... you can try to run them like a any other command /full/path/command.py and you'll see if it works. Otherwise maybe something like python /full/path/command.py will work

This is working fine Thanks!

Well from my past experience scraper is not really suitable for large iso's because it uses file hashs to identify them. Also start to rename your roms to common names like this Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (v1.00).iso Anyway I would get UXS spent some time to set it up and use it to scrape games.

And since the legacy API of gamedb is down Legacy API down · Issue #244 · sselph/scraper · GitHub Legacy API Shutdown - TheGamesDb.net any service that relies on this API won't work until this is fixed.

how to use this in CLI?

Is this for setting up mupen64plus standalone in CLI gui?

If yes how to start this?

It's the command line for es_systems.cfg

Quote from Marciano

Thanks but what command to use in CLI

<command>/usr/bin/m64p-cli.start %ROM%</command>

Quote from Marciano

thanks i tried that but nothing happends

Because you need to apply a rom afterwards. This cli script has no interface so starts the rom directly if one is available. There is a reason why stuff like ES has been invented.

5schatten I put this dolphin.py in my custom skin and set the right path to it

Python

#!/usr/bin/python
import subprocess
subprocess.call("systemd-run /usr/bin/dolphin.start /storage/roms/wii/MarioKartWii.wbfs", shell=True)

In the beginning it was launching mario kart from submenu in skin just fine couple of times but now somehow it looks like kodi is just restarting when starting game.

Sometime it will start from submenu but most of the time kodi is restarting but there is no crash_log.

I found in /var/log/dolphin.log this

Code

QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2
QPainter::setPen: Painter not active
QPainter::setBrush: Painter not active
QPainter::setRenderHint: Painter must be active to set rendering hints
Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "NV-GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::system_error'
  what():  Invalid argument
Aborted

I don't know if this is related but it's the only dolphin log i can find.

but i don't understand why in the beginning is was working fine and now the game wouldn't start anymore cause i id not change anything.

Or maybe kodi doesn't like this way of starting games with dolphin....

I hope you can point me in the right way.

btw i already tried advanced laucnher but with this i have also the same issue.

First couple of times game starting fine and later nothing.

Thanks!

Well this is a somewhat awkward setup but normally every start script is self contained so it should be possible to run them from any terminal or other launcher. Dolphin probably fails to run because the audio backend is misconfigured. Try to set either PulseAudio or ALSA in advanced.conf and leave the audio backend configuration in Dolphin untouched.

Dolphin Emulator on Arch Linux crashes when launching a game

Quote from Drarkklain

is there a way to permanently disable the demo games in all frontends?

Not in all so they will be always listed in Retroarch but I'll add some config flags to advanced.conf in my next builds to disable them for ES & PF if you don't want or need them.
