Bundle of custom retropie scripts (bash) to run special/repetitive tasks on a raspberry pi4. These have been tested on a raspberry pi 4 with Virtualman v1.98x-4.5.7 These scripts can seriusly damage your system or delete files. Always create a backup before attempting to run any of these. I will take no responsability if your systems wont work or breaks.
These set of tools are great if you have several PI and want to have a centralized location for your files, instead of duplicating hundreds of GB across USB drives or SD cards.
Note: I am obsessed with Logs and tracking what the script is doing in every step. This helps me debug any issues quickly, plus it allows me to double check that things executed as expected.
Mount the network location share contaning roms (network roms). Move retropie roms folder to a new location (local roms). Create an overlay with: network share + local roms + local gamelist/artwork Update autostart.sh script with new overlay and network mount. Tweaked livewire.py script to fix music location (local roms) Logging of critical success tasks, warnings and erros to custom file. Loosly Based on the Eazy-Hax-Retropie-Toolkit: https://github.com/Shakz76/Eazy-Hax-RetroPie-Toolkit Note: Make sure to enable wait for network option via sudo raspi-config. Also, it is a good idead to change the default hostname and password - via raspi-config.
Copy either: roms, gamelists or artwork/mixart/media or all of them from the specified folders. Great from moving the entire roms location from one place to another, or if you want to split the media files. Just update the three main variables inside the script to point to the folder and log locations.
