Launch custom script form Emulation Station

[devil78]

Hi all. I’ve made a custom menu for Emulation Station, used to launch my personal bash script wich use dialog to show informations on the screen. It’s worked perfectly with Retropie 3.3 and earlier versions but, don’t work with 3.4 and 3.5.
The script is closed as if I hold the Escape key… Any Suggestions ?

Can i use runcommand.sh to launch my script?

Thanks

I would assume the reason would be that RP now runs on Jessie? That’s the only major change since 3.3 that I can think of that could use your issue.

Thanks for tha answer, but i think the problem is another… i will try to fix by me !!!

For what it’s worth, I have a bunch of .sh scripts I launch from within ES. I don’t use runcommand for them and they work fine. The launch command in es_systems.cfg is simply bash %ROM%. I’m on retropie 3.3 Jessie.

shre labelwhore but i’m on Retropie 3.5 and they don’t work for me!!!

I just meant to point out that it couldn’t simply be a Jessie issue. Something else is at play here.

Some bash commands sometime need additional flag depending on the distro you use. Maybe it’s not the case here, but you never know, you should try to debug your scripts to see if there is any command that doesn’t work anymore.

It’s work when i try to launch from a command line.

I’m, partly solved, only scripts wich use dialog don’t work. I will try whiptail!!!

That’s odd because almost everything in RetroPie-Setup is done using Dialog so…
