Autostart

Find here some steps how to setup autostart. Grab your regamebox.conf either on SD Card or USB Stick.

Step 1 : Turn Autostart on

AUTOSTART=”1”

Step 2 : Specify game to be started.

• Create Folder „roms“ on your SD Card boot folder.
• Create subfolder according your wanted core, like „arcade“ for mame2003plus or „snes“ for snes. Refer to folder naming convention in this wiki.
• copy rom in the subfolder for the core. Ie qix.zip in folder /boot/roms/arcade
• Finally a file looks like this /boot/roms/arcade/qix.zip should exist on your card.
• Insert Path in variable

AUTOSTART_ROM=”/boot/roms/arcade/qix.zip”

A rom on the usb stick if any can be used, too. Path looks then like /mnt/sda/rpi2jamma/roms/arcade/qix.zip

Step 3 : Select if exit from autostarted game should be possible or not

AUTOSTART_NO_QUIT=”0”

Step 4 : Select id you want to have boot splash

SHOW_SPLASH=”0”
