[SOLVED] Read ROMs from USB Stick
  • JohnWilkesBooth
    Hey, I know very little about Linux and tweaking config files. I was wondering if someone here could tell me how I would go about having advmame read from a USB stick for the ROM library as opposed to /home/pi/roms/ Is there a way I could get advmame to read both locations to build the library? Or say set it up where it's got a "top picks" section that are say on my SD card, but then a more extensive library of less frequently played games on my USB stick?

    Thanks.

    This is something I want to work on as I know it would be a valuable feature. If nobody else posts some solutions then that will be next on my Todos.

    This can be done in advmame

    if you only want one emulator, this can be done in advmame.

    Try updating the dir_rom variable in /home/pi/.advance/advmame.rc, appending ";/path/to/usb/folder" (include semicolon)

    If memory serves, that is.

    If you want two different emulators, one for each source, have a look at the instructions from Martin3232 and johnnygal at http://pimame.org/forum/discussion/22/speed-and-mame4all#Item_16 (setting up the second instance as a generic emulator instead).
