libretro-sh-launcher

Based on libretro-dolphin-launcher and libretro-bash-launcher, see full list of changes below.

Launch (ba)sh-scripts directly from RetroArch to launch your Linux games.

Changes from the original bash-launcher

• Use cmake instead of make. Two reasons - cmake code is more simplier, and I can't sort thing out of original make file.
• Add sh library to easy create your own sh launchers. For example, for wine.
• Add udev module for autolaunch Retroarch. Well, somebody say it's useless feature, but I want just plug in my controller and start playing.
• Playlists and thumbnails auto generation.
• Debian package.
• Rewrite on C++ (WIP)

Installation

Depends

• libcurl
• imlib2
• compiller with c++14 support
• retroarch

Optional:

• Qt4

Manual

1. Compile the core

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/VolkMilit/libretro-sh-launcher.git
cd libretro-sh-launcher
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
# optional use -DSPLASH=OFF option to disable compile splash programm, see USAGE.md#splash
make -j$(nproc)

2. Copy assets and core in right directoryes

mkdir $HOME/.config/retroarch/xmb/monochrome/png
cp ../assets/xmb/monochrome/png/* $HOME/.config/retroarch/xmb/monochrome/png
cp sh_launcher_libretro.so /any/place/you/like

Then just launch core with

retroarch -L /any/place/you/like/sh_launcher_libretro.so

Alternatively you can perform this way, but read the caution bottom first:

make install

But actually I dare you to NOT do make install in /usr unless you realy want to. Better using package system or launch it locally, because you can forget what you're install.

Debian package

1. Clone repo and Install necessary packages

mkdir libretro-sh-launcher && cd libretro-sh-launcher
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/VolkMilit/libretro-sh-launcher.git
sudo apt install devsripts fakeroot libcurl4-gnutls-dev libimlib2-dev

2. Build the package

cd libretro-sh-launcher
debuild -i -us -uc -b

3. Install package

cd ..
sudo dpkg -i libretro_sh_launcher_1.0.0-1+stretch_amd64.deb
