Yes okay, why complicate things when it can be simple

I like automation.

Hey escalade, how i can backup in your build? Unfortunately, Libreelec does not contain all data. I want to copy the whole build from one computer to another without mirroring the hard disk itself. Can you explain it to me?

Rsync is another good option. You could even have it setup to make backups automatically with a cron job: How to Use rsync to Backup Your Data on Linux

ETA: don't follow any instructions for installing rsync. It is already included in this build.

Already put many arcade roms (used with MAME on Windows many years ago) under /storage/roms.
The files are ".ZIP", do i need to unzip ?
Is there a specific filename format ?
Under roms directory, do i need to have subdir like /storage/roms/mame/ ?
If such subdir isn't required, will the emulationstation check recursively under directories found under roms ?

Thanks!

Yes it should be under /mame. When you look at your libreelec box over your network you should see a whole bunch of subdirectories under the folder named roms. Mame files will remain zipped while most other types of roms should be extracted. A fair amount of retroarch cores don't deal well with zip files.

I've noticed the same. If you delete /storage/.config/dolphin-emu, it'll start up with the game window focused. Seems to be a bug in Dolphin that it doesn't focus the GL window. Or perhaps a fluxbox bug, hard to say.

What other settings does that wipe out in the process?

ETA: When I was trying to do something similar to this project with another distro I had good luck with open box... Something to consider perhaps

Had issues with the latest samba / my config. But as you had already advised I used the smb.conf and created a new samba.conf in .config with my own links. Thanks for keeping this the best build ever.

On a side not any ideas why dolphin loads up the gui when loading an image? If i alt tab I get the game. Is it a dolphin setting?

I'm getting the same behavior with dolphin.

Just upgraded my LE 8.0 to this extended build.

As of now, i'm delighted with Chromium playing videos without tearing...

Chromium menu entry does not launch the application ?
I can however start it from my favorites..

Game emulator start but says no game system installed. Only Quit option is available..

I tough emulators where included with this system image ?

I will have to dig deeper... didn't have more time at that moment. [emoji14]

thanks!

You have to put game roms in the rom folders. When you do those systems will show up.
