How to use in Batocera (or Recalbox)

[AlfaJackal]

Is there anyone who managed to run retrogame on Batocera? I want to switch from retropie to Batocera without resoldering my GPIOs.

Many thanks in advance!

How to use Adafruit tool “retrogame” with recalbox! Thanks to user Ratte from Batocera forum!!

Binary and config file:

cd /usr/bin/
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame/master/retrogame
chmode 755 /usr/bin/retrogame
cd /boot
mount -o remount, rw /boot
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Retrogame/master/configs/retrogame.cfg.zero
mv retrogame.cfg.zero retrogame.cfg

Add startup script:

nano /etc/init.d/S32retrogame

Insert this code:

#!/bin/sh
PIDFILE=/var/run/retrogame.pid
NAME="S32retrogame"
RUN_AS=root
CMD=/usr/bin/retrogame
do_start() {
recallog "... Starting : retrogame gpio-remapper"
start-stop-daemon --start --background --user $RUN_AS --pidfile $PIDFILE --make-pidfile --chuid $RUN_AS --startas $CMD
}
do_stop() {
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile $PIDFILE
}
case "$1" in
start)
recallog "Starting $NAME"
do_start
;;
stop)
recallog "Stopping $NAME"
do_stop
;;
restart)
recallog "Restarting $NAME"
do_stop
do_start
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/S32retrogame {start|stop|restart}"
exit 2
;;
esac
exit 0

Save file and exit nano.

chmod +x S32retrogame
/etc/init.d/S32retrogame start

Or reboot. You are set.
