hello , i am using batocera which is using emulationstation like recalbox do you know about batocera ? i want to try to adapt to batocera would you help me ?

tityann commented 9 months ago

in the install script this part wont fit

`case "$arch" in x86) recordScreenLayout install_PC start_PC ;; rpi) install_rpi_init start_rpi ;; *)

e.g. odroidxu4, odroidgo

    echo "$NAME is not yet tested on this hardware: trying the Raspberry Pi config"
    install_rpi_init
    start_rpi
    ;;

esac ` because im am in a64 bit configuration

i search how to adapt

i don't find where the screenLayoutScreen function is in the script ?

tityann commented 9 months ago

excuse me i start over from the "manual_install_pc.md"

the xrandr --output $PRIMARY --auto --primary --output $MARQUEE --auto --right-of $PRIMARY works with the mpv --screen=2 --alpha=blend --loop media/system/zxspectrum.logo.png i see the logo

now with the script for startup: i don't have "/usr/bin/externalscreen.sh" neither in xinitrc neither in the files where to put my xandr..... ?

and maybe a newbie question but wher are the files when copy by :cp to "./" ??? thank you

As far as I know Batocera doesn't publish events to a MQTT broker like Recalbox, and it's these events dynquee needs to listen to in order to work. So I think adapting dynquee to Batocera will not be at all straightforward.

Some people have reported success using shell scripts to implement a dynamic marquee for Batocera.

If you want to keep trying, it doesn't really matter where you put your xrandr command as long it as runs before the marquee starts: try putting it in an after-boot script.

The cp command I think you mean copies startup_pc.sh in dynquee's install/ directory to dynquee's top-level directory.
