Duncan-
I had an idea about how to handle the generic game option. My python
is not good enough to yet to handle the changes but I will outline the
idea for you.
With line 73 uncommented the following works
GAMES_ITEMS = [
('NINTENDO', '/mnt/anime/NES',
('GENERIC','/usr/bin/tuxnes','-1/dev/input/j0 -2/dev/input/j1
-u -rsdl','',[ 'NES','nes']))
]
But the following does not.
GAMES_ITEMS = [
('Kasteroids', '/etc/freevo/games/',
('GENERIC', '/usr/bin/kasteroids', '', '', ['kas']))
]
The problem is that the current generic.py passes the game selection
to the play command and to do this requires a game file. I think a
better solution would look to work like this:
GAMES_ITEMS = [
('Kasteroids', '',('GENERIC', '/usr/bin/kasteroids', '', '', None))
]
This way when genericitem.py is called it checks the the Suffix to see
if it is needed or not. If the suffix is None then run the cmd+args
instead of getting a file list. If I understand the _init_.py call to
genericitem.py correct, it's default action is to call util.py and run
a search to create a menu list of "games" to run. If instead it
checked for a suffix it will know if it should just run the cmd+args
or do a listing. I have started looking at the code and it seems like
it needs to be added to the games/_init_.py but I am not sure it may
need to be added to game.py or genericitem.py

P.S> I am going to have make better dev setup for this one :(
