New Version of the Script:

Supports Parameters wich are stored in the emulator commandline in the database.

whats missing:

  • using only the extensions stored in the database
  • serching through subdirectorys
  • checking if a screenshot exits

You could use the gamemetadata table here which contains the ROMPATH that the game was found in as well as the romname and thereby avoid having to worry about file extensions, subdirectories or loopthing through the contents of the base rompath.

I've updated the script to use the gamemetadata table.

now it need to be patched so that the $COMMANDLINE var is splited to cmdrun and cmdpar. If someone would work on this, i've no time...

Replying to jochen:

This ticket is closed, because i've added the functionality of this script directly to mythgame...

Can you please explain how to access this functionality in mythgame? I have the latest svn build, but can't figure out how to make it build screenshots automatically for my several thousand roms... (yeah, you can see why an automatic generator is a feature I want!)

The code to incorporate this directly within mythgame was never accepted into the code base and likely will not be.

There are just way too many potential issues with this and anyone wishing to do it will have to do it manually with a script (including the ones Jochen added to the system).

If you have any further comments and questions please do so on the mailling lists as the ticket system is not a help forumn :)
