Add Ability to Change Default Keyboard Language

When adding a new bluetooth device, the script does nothing and just stays at the menu.

It was requested that the system allow for easily changing where the roms are stored.

Add the ability to search for files.

Ex. sudo find . -name InputAutoConfig.ini

Quick painless script to install kodi and then pipe the correct xml format to es_systems.cfg for kodi to display correctly, possible wget in the correct theme for kodi as well.

As of the RetroPie 3.0 image, the splashscreens are now in /opt/retropie/supplementary/splashscreen

An option to scrape all roms should be added.

How can I change the Dropbox account associated with PiAssist?

I have used PiAssist in a Raspberry Pi 2 with Retropie 3.0 and i can't connect a bluetooth controller (8bitdo NES30).

I have used this script to install bluetooth packages and it wasn't any problem, but when i tried to connect a bluetooth controller, this not connect but the message 'Bluetooth device has been connected' appears on screen. But on the option 'Display Registered & Connected Bluetooth Devices' not appears any device.

On terminal appears some errors but like scripts appears again i cannot see them, but i tried to scan again devices and i made a screenshot:

Maybe not appears all error messages but it could be useful.

I don't have another bluetooth controller to tried the script.

Add helper script to make easy adding support for a media device

Prompt for remote media type NFS or USB

If NFS
prompt for NFS path from remote device
read NFS path and store as variable $nfspath
sudo apt-get install nfs-common
cd /home/pi
mkdir nfs
nfs mount command $nfspath

output new nfs path

If USB

Identify Media Path
df -h | grep "media" | awk (command to cut awk and have only the path for your media usually /media/usb/0
Read path as a variable and set as $usbpath

sudo mv /home/pi/roms/* $usbpath

use sed command to filter through the es_systems.cfg replacing old default path ~Retropie/roms with $usbpath

Must find a way to exclude the retropie menu line and kodi if kodi is already installed

Same for NFS if NFS selection is chosen

Make the pi user have permissions to write to the media drive

command that will change
FS_MOUNTOPTIONS="" to FS_MOUNTOPTIONS="-fstype=vfat,flush,gid=plugdev,dmask=0007,fmask=0117"

in /etc/usbmount
exit

Setup an installer for sixad (QtSixA, sixad is command line tool) that will help with first time connections (with sixpair).

The line of code here is what I'm referring to
https://github.com/Death259/PiAssist/blob/master/PiAssist.sh#L68

I think there should only be one print $2?

Also if the SSID has spaces it splits it- so for example if my network is called "my special network" once it goes into the whiptail menu I have 3 networks called "my", "special", and "network".
If I run it through menu 2 on the scanner, it shows up as it should, but the troubles come once it is placed into the menu in option 3.

but if I just run the above line of code manually in the terminal it gives me the right list- so it must have something to do with whiptail. perhaps related to something like this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16897697/bash-spaces-in-whiptail-dialog-menu-items

hello man, awesome script.

i have two problem.

the first one is: my ps4 controller is kinda laggy, do you know what could be the problem???

second, how on earth do we configure a second controller

TIA

Add the ability to remove Bluetooth packages. Should be just as simple as:

apt-get remove --purge bluetooth
apt-get remove --purge blueman
apt-get remove --purge bluez-utils
apt-get clean

get http://webspace.lenscritic.com/mame/mameGenXml.tar.gz

We'll move it into a new direcotry:

mkdir genScript
mv mameGenXml.tar.gz genScript/
cd genScript/

Expand the contents:

tar zxvf mameGenXml.tar.gz

Now run it! We'll send the output to a new file called gamelist.xml. You'll need to pass the full path to the roms, the mode (either "mame", "fba", or "console"), and the rom extension ("zip", "nes", etc).

Here's an example for MAME:

perl mameGenXml.pl -rompath /home/pi/mame4all/roms/ -mode mame -extension zip > gamelist.xml

Here's an example for FBA:

perl mameGenXml.pl -rompath /home/pi/fba/roms/ -mode fba -extension zip > gamelist.xml

and finally an example for console:

perl mameGenXml.pl -rompath /home/pi/roms/nes/ -mode console -extension nes > gamelist.xml

Now you just need to move the gamelist.xml into your roms directory. Note: THIS WILL OVERWRITE ANY EXISTING GAMELIST.XML, so if you already have one please back it up first:

mv gamelist.xml /home/pi/mame4all/roms

change for individual user and automate running gamelist.xml fix for all platforms

The entirety of the controller functionality is missing.

At a minimum the script needs to be able to run the RetroArch config. In doing so the script needs to offer the ability to backup the current config. If a backup already exists, then the user needs to be notified.

The retro-arch joyconfig needs to be utilized such that it can configure multiple players (it supports up to 8 players).

Ideally, I would like the capabilities of this script to be available without having to get out to the command line, and instead be available directly within emulation station.

Is it possible to embed the options of this script in to the RetroPie ES menu instead of creating it's own dedicated ES menu for a cleaner look? I understand how to manually add shell scripts to the RetroPie menu but it appears to me (as a novice linux tinkerer at best) that you software is a single shell script that I'm guessing needs data passed to it at the command line to set off a particular option? Essentially I am trying to specifically use your Dropbox backup and restore features on the current version of RetroPie (which does work great still, BTW) but without integrating PiAssist into it's own dedicated ES menu. Any help would be appreciated. Also, does your script do a blind backup and restore to dropbox or does it look at each state and sav and check the date on it to ensure only older files are over written? I'm thinking I want to use this to keep sav and state files in sync between two separate RetroPie systems if I can. Thank you in advance and thanks for the great and very useful script!

Exactly the title. When a new ROM is added, I would love there to be a "new" tag that appears next to the title and/or emulator. Perhaps by going off the "Last played" metadata within RetroPie?

I'd like to add the ability for all emulator save files to be backed up to Dropbox. There will need to be a PiAssist folder on the dropbox and then each system can have it's own sub-folder that will contain the individual game save files.

How do I uninstall this? I dont want the option in emulation station.

Add command to scrape art for all folders with roms in them

Good morning,
I was using PiAssist on a beaglebone black running Debian and had an error when trying to connect a bluetooth device. When I click on connect, I get the following error:
./PiAssist.sh: line 440: ./PiAssist.sh: line 426: dialog: command not found+(./PiAssist.sh: line 426: dialog: command not found -1): syntax error: operand expected (error token is "./PiAssist.sh: line 426: dialog: command not found+(./PiAssist.sh: line 426: dialog: command not found -1)")
Could you please help me?
Thank you
George

Utilizing Scraper from sudo at the command line
Reports roms scraped and no information is downloaded

I am utilizing all the directories in my /media/usb0 folder which is the most common mount point for an ext hard drive all the rom folders are then the same as they were.

Error reporting is very quick i saw a message about cannot access a directory but cant find a tmp log to get better information

ALso note the user pi has write and read access to the /media/usb0 folder as I have already configured that.

It would be nice if changing the splashcreen could be easy. Allow for letting people use a randomizer, just like in this reddit post. Also see if we can allow for doing videos as shown in this youtube video. Lastly, see if we can combine the two.

This tool is awesome for connecting my NES30 pro, however, how do I allow my controller to be a "trusted" device? When I turn off the controller after playing and then come back to play later the controller does not connect unless I run your connection script again.

Is there a cron job or some file I can edit to allow it to be a trusted device?

The network menu should be redone to look and act like when a user connects to a Bluetooth device. This way the user doesn't have to type in the wifi SSID. There will need to be an option to allow the user to manually type in the SSID in case the SSID is not being broadcasted.

When connecting to a WiFi network, rather than have the network information stored in the /etc/network/interfaces file, there needs to be a wpa_supplicant that is referenced in order to allow for multiple SSIDs to be connectible at any given time.

When connecting a Bluetooth device, even if an error occurs that keeps the device from being connected to, the BASH script says the device has been connected. There is at least one instance where this will make sense, such as you've already got the device registered and trusted, it just needs to be connected to. This would return an error saying the device is already registered, but it's okay because we really just want to reconnect to the device.

In order for the dropbox backup to work with everyone's installation of retropie, the roms directories need to be pulled from the es_systems.cfg. This way if someone has their roms on an external hard drive or SMB share, we should still be able to back them up to dropbox.

Does the built in Sselph scraper use the latest release?
