EmuELEC conversion does not work #77

Closed pablosanjose closed 3 years ago

pablosanjose commented 3 years ago

There are several issues with the EmuELEC conversion

the game folders in pcdata are not grouped by genre (they are in the pc folder), so mount fails
the frontend requires an empty gamename.bat to be created in each game folder. Otherwise games are not listed in the UI
the script /emuelec/scripts/emuelecRunEmu.sh must be modified to read the exported configuration files (need to comment/uncomment the relevant RUNTHIS commands). This is probably not the task of ExoDOSConverter, but the user should be instructed about this change more clearly
scripts sometimes refer to game folders as gamename.pc and other times as gamename, which leads to mount failures (example: eye of the beholder II)

Hello, thank you for this, I don't have any other user testing the EmuELEC conversion and my communications on their forum were downvoted as spam (?) so I can't say I tried too much to go back there...

I will look into this in the coming months and use this issue to communicate about fixes

pablosanjose commented 3 years ago

I'll be there to assist you. Just ask. Thanks for the effort.

Hello, I'm ready to work on this now If you have Discord, can you contact me there @pablosanjose ? Would be easier to discuss about it

Voljega commented 3 years ago

Or here is good too :p Already fixed two of the issues, remaining :

the frontend requires an empty gamename.bat to be created in each game folder. Otherwise games are not listed in the UI
the script /emuelec/scripts/emuelecRunEmu.sh must be modified to read the exported configuration files (need to comment/uncomment the relevant RUNTHIS commands). This is probably not the task of ExoDOSConverter, but the user should be instructed about this change more clearly

All shall be fixed, please comment if you think there are still issues with the fix or possible enhancements

Hi @Voljega , sorry I didn't reply. I actually prefer to use GitHub. I'll try to clear some time this weekend to test your fixes and get back to you.

No problem, thank you for testing
