PSX4ALL bios selection with gmenu2x
« on: September 30, 2010, 12:30:18 pm »
Hello everybody!

Thanks to gmenu2x I was able to create a simple script that let you choose a bios before psx4all got started. I didn't want to keep this for myself and the installation is pretty easy, so here you go!, enjoy :)

Step #1
- Create a directory called 'bios' in the /local/emulators/psx4all/ directory
- Place all your bios files in that directory (the scph1001.bin, etc)

Step #2
- Download the attachment psx4all_bios.txt, rename it to psx4all_bios.sh and place it in the /local/emulators/psx4all/ directory.

Step #3
- Edit your psx4all link within gmenu2x or through the file (/local/gmenu2x/sections/emulators/psx4all)
- Change the following values:
--- exec=/boot/local/emulators/psx4all/psx4all_bios.sh
--- selectordir=/boot/local/emulators/psx4all/bios/
--- selectorfilter=bin

And your done! After you have started the psx4all link, you will get to choose the bios version you would like to use.
Thanks for the gmenu2x team for the easy implementation!

Very nice thanks. Much better than having 4 different psx4all shortcuts ( one for each bios) :)

Can anybody tell me where/how I can change this value in gmenu2x?

Ok I figured that out...
Unfortunately I've run into another problem. I've followed your description step by step but when I load a file I always get a message like "NOT FOUND..../psx4all/scpph1001". What am I doing wrong?

Maybe the correct path is .../psx4all/bios/scpph1001

and not .../psx4all/scpph1001

whatever it is should be related to the path not being correct.

When I put the scph1001.bin into the psx4all folder the bios can be loaded, but that's not the point of the script offered in this thread since I can't choose another bios.

My psx4all folder consists of the following:
bios folder with different bios
cbin.linux
cbin.macosx
mcd001.mcr
mcd002.mcr
psx4all
psx4all_bios.sh (this is the executable file)
psx4all_debug
psx4all_sound
readme

These are my settings:
description: psx4all
section: emulators
clock: 430
selectdir: boot/local/emulators/psx4all/bios/
selectbrows: OFF
selectfilter: bin
everything else is default/OFF

I hope I've provided enough imformation for you to help me! Thanks alot!

Sry for bothering but I wonder if I might have to change some value in this line:
Quote
#!/bin/sh

cd /boot/local/emulators/psx4all

cp -f bios/${1} scph1001.bin

./psx4all

For me, script should go like this:
--
#!/bin/sh

cd /boot/local/emulators/psx4all

cp -f ${1} scph1001.bin

sleep 5

./psx4all
--

sleep 5 for check is everything goes in proper way

Well. The list works. But when I load a game with the bios (in the emulator itself) it says "SCPH1001.bin NOT FOUND--" and lists a directory(which disappears too quickly to read)

Stop multi-posting, this is a somewhat slow forum at times. He'll get to it eventually.
