SPLORE not booting into browser.

Mon, 03 May 2021 09:11:57 UTC

Hi guys.

I have a question about running things in RetroPie (EmulationStation).

I have what seems to be everything installed correctly. By this, I mean I have a system in EmulationStation called Pico8, and I have a list of cartridge games that boot just fine when selected.

At some point, I added a script file that appeared at the top of the Pico8 game list. When selected, this script booted straight into SPLORE, and loaded the main SPLORE browser. I had an SD Card failure, and as a result, I had to revert back to an older image of my RetroPie before I added Pico8. I have the cartridge games in my Pico8 system and they boot just fine as before, but the script I acquired beforehand has been misplaced. I can't for the life of me remember where I got it etc.

I have read tutorials (such as the one here) that demonstrate creating the script, such as +Start PICO-8.sh, and then adding code such as this:

!/bin/bash

pushd "/home/pi/pico-8"

./pico8 -splore

popd

When I run the script from the games list, Pico8 loads, but I get an error saying
COULD NOT LOAD /HOME PIE/RETROPIE/ROMS/PICO8/+START PICO-8.SH it loads SPLORE
TYPE HELP FOR HELP

If I type SPLORE and press enter, it loads the SPLORE Browser.

The script I had beforehand booted straight to the SPLORE Browser without the need to type SPLORE. I would like the script to do this as the plan is to user Pico8 without a keyboard.

Please can you help me to get a working script that sits in the games list of the Pico8 system to boot straight into the SPLORE Browser area.

I hope the above makes sense, and thanks ever so much in advance for your help.

Vox.
