    Hey Community,

    is it possible to write the current RomName (ex. super_mario_world.smc) in a TXT file (ofc the textfile need to be cleared b4, thats just one entry at the time in it) – if yes how?

    i thought about to find the file which handles the event when you choose a rom (i.e. decided which emulator should be used, initial start and so on..) – and add the txt action right b4 this all happens..

    got another ideas? which file is it which handle the idea above? …

    i hope you guys are able to help me in this case.
    best regards, Nasthran

    It is runcommand.sh. It’s located under /opt/retropie/supplementary/runcommand.
    You can write the rom name in a file with the following command:
    echo "$rom" >> /path/yourfile.txt

    In runcommand.sh there is a comment like ‘# run command’ followed by ‘equal $command …’. You can add ‘rm /path/file’ under these lines.

    cant find: “equal $command” in this file, may you have the exact line for Start+Select/Quitting-Rom or mainly, returning to main memue?

    It’s ” eval $command </dev/tty 2>/tmp/runcommand.log.”. Mobile github does not show line numbers.
