tochd VS enjoy

Do you mean this is a file that you mount? If not, RetroArch can play CD formats if these are files, such as CHD (I convert every CD format like .iso and .cue to .chd files; look at my other program tochd ). So if you don't access the real CD/DVD drive of your PC, then you probably don't need to mount any CD format to play them with RetroArch.

The Discover app uses a different way of installing programs and I do not have the program there. It was not designed to work on Steam Deck, because it expects some programs to be installed (7z and chdman). There is a way of downloading the program directly, but you need to have 7z and chdman and use the options to point to it. You could download from https://github.com/thingsiplay/tochd/releases the "tochd-0.9-bin.7z" and unpack and run it without installing. You would need to point to the programs like this: ./tochd --7z "path/to/7z" --chdman "path/to/chdman" . (the last dot in the command means current directory, in which the program will search all files in current directory to convert).

Hi everyone. Today I created my first Archlinux package using makepkg. I hope it went all right. Might someone want have a look at the PKGBUILD file? The program itself is not very complicated to install, just a single Python script to copy into a directory.

For Linux I have a Python script to convert to CHD format. It does some smart things that aren't handled by simple scripts. Just in case you are interested to check it out: https://github.com/thingsiplay/tochd

Are you on a desktop Linux? I wrote a little CLI tool to run games directly from CLI or by assigning the program as default launcher for ROM file types (such as .smc), which gives the ability to run them on any filemanager. So you might be interested into it: https://github.com/thingsiplay/enjoy

I for myself created an application that uses a configuration file to determine which file extension belongs to which core: https://github.com/thingsiplay/enjoy Once you created that config file for this application, then you can just run `enjoy "path/to/rom.smc" instead and it would load up retroarch with correct core for you.

I went with wildcards and directory rules. I can see your configuration format has "extension" as key and it might be easy to extend the format to add additional check for file path (example key called "directory"). As I have 60 cores or so, there are a lot of overlapping. It can even run MAME games separated from FB Neo, and all sharing same .zip format. So having directory rules is important for such kind of program in my opinion. https://github.com/thingsiplay/enjoy

I had the same idea, but for Linux: https://github.com/thingsiplay/enjoy

BTW, enjoy is a little tool to play games from commandline (or the file manager directly) without starting RetroArch GUI (only on Linux). I created this script to run games with enjoy.

enjoy for RetroArch
