Booting to MAME4all

revtommy

I would like to go straight into MAME4all when booting PiMAME. How do I do this?

Thanks

I've been looking at this ability. Here is what I was able to find with the search. Let me know if this works.

--------
In .profile, you should see a line like this:

python /home/pi/pimame_files/menu.py

If you want to just run Advance MAME, then remove that line and replace it with:
advmenu

that will launch AdvanceMENU for AdvanceMAME.

If you want to launch one game automatically at bootup, you can do this:

advmame

I don't have a .profile file.

.profile is hidden...
but you can edit it with command

sudo nano .profile

you can check each menu line command from advmenu by editing menu.py as above mentioned.

sudo nano /home/pi/pimame_files/menu.py

find the menu line to execute MAME4All, then copy that line to replace the line "python /home/pi/pimame_files/menu.py" in the .profile file

I have the root of my PiMAME saved on my Mac. Can't I just edit the files and re-upload them over the existing ones without having to use commands?

So does anybody have any complete instructions for using the command method? I made it to CTRL+X then Y. Didn't understand anything after that.

Hi,
this worked for me:

# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.
# the files are located in the bash-doc package.

# the default umask is set in /etc/profile; for setting the umask
# for ssh logins, install and configure the libpam-umask package.
#umask 022

# if running bash
if [ -n "$BASH_VERSION" ]; then
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f "$HOME/.bashrc" ]; then
. "$HOME/.bashrc"
fi
fi

# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists
if [ -d "$HOME/bin" ] ; then
PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"
fi
/home/pi/pimame_files/getip.sh
sudo xboxdrv --silent --config /home/pi/pimame_files/xboxdrv_mapping.cfg --dbus session &
#python /home/pi/pimame_files/menu.py
#advmenu
/home/pi/emulators/mame4all-pi/mame

Hi!
I'm maybe stupid... But how do I even get to files mentioned above? I would like to test Chrisi's suggestion but I do not know how or were to paste it! I do not know ANYTHING about Linux or programming. I got everything working with Roms and pimame/mame4all:)

Cheers,
Kaj
