Hi all,
The ROM scanner in Lakka currently only looks for .ISO files for PSX ROMs. This is a bit rough for me because only about 5% of my files are .ISO!
So I built this Powershell script to generate a playlist file for me. You’ll need to be using Windows to execute the script.
How to use it: [ol] [li]Open Notepad.[/li][li]Copy and paste the code in.[/li][li]Edit the rom path between the quotes on the first line if needed. /storage/roms/ is the default directory, but I put all my ROMs into separate folders.[/li][li]Save the file as PSX.ps1[/li][li]Place PSX.ps1 into your PSX ROM directory on Lakka via the network share.[/li][li]Right-click the PSX.ps1 file and select Run with Powershell.[/li][li]The Sony - PlayStation.lpl file will be created. Move it to the Playlists directory.[/li][li]Restart Retroarch.[/li][/ol]
Here’s the code:
$romPath = "/storage/roms/PSX/" #Path to ROM dir. I have mine in subdirectories.
$files = Get-ChildItem ./* -include *.iso,*.bin,*.img,*.mdf
ForEach ($file in $files) {
$theFile = $file.name #just the filename
$theName = $file.name -replace ".{4}$" #the filename minus the file extension
write-output "$romPath$theFile" | out-file "Sony - PlayStation.lpl" -Append -encoding utf8
write-output $theName | out-file "Sony - PlayStation.lpl" -Append -encoding utf8
write-output "DETECT" | out-file "Sony - PlayStation.lpl" -Append -encoding utf8
write-output "DETECT" | out-file "Sony - PlayStation.lpl" -Append -encoding utf8
write-output "00000000|crc" | out-file "Sony - PlayStation.lpl" -Append -encoding utf8
write-output "Sony - PlayStation.lpl" | out-file "Sony - PlayStation.lpl" -Append -encoding utf8
}
