Create your own GAME ICONS that launch games directly and create additional FOLDERS
Make a new .sh file in:
/home/cpi/apps/launcher/Menu/GameShell
and name that eg.:
Galaga.sh
then edit that file and put this command line in:
retroarch -L /home/cpi/.config/retroarch/cores/fb_alpha_libretro.so /home/cpi/games/MAME/galaga.zip
In my example I use the: fb_alpha_libretro.so core to play GALAGA so the first /home/cpi/.config/retroarch/cores/fb_alpha_libretro.so
is just a link to the desired core to play your favorit game
GALAGA is located in the folder:
/home/cpi/games/MAME/galaga.zip
so this links to the game that you're directing to
Hope this explanes the commandline so everybody can use it with there own favorite games
make an icon for the launch menu and place that in :
/home/cpi/apps/launcher/skin/default/Menu/GameShell
Name it (in my example given):
Galaga.png
- Add a folder to launcher/Menu/GameShell/20_Retro Games/ (example SNES with snes9x2010 core)
- In that folder create a file called action.configb (I use
sudo nano action.config
via SSH) - In that file it should contain: (this is an SNES example)
ROM=/home/cpi/games/SNES
ROM_SO=/home/cpi/apps/emulators/snes9x2010_libretro.so
EXT=sfc,smc,zip
LAUNCHER=retroarch -L
TITLE=SNES
SO_URL=http://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/linux/armhf/latest/snes9x2010_libretro.so.zip
Then place your thumbnail in launcher/skin/default/Menu/GameShell/20_Retro Games/ (example SNES.png)
