Hello in recalbox 4.xxx pbp extensions is already added : https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-buildroot/blob/rb-4.0.X/board/recalbox/fsoverlay/recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg#L264

i am looking also file es_sytems.cfg as described here.. http://emulationstation.org/gettingstarted.html#config

my aim is to add in command to lauch retroarch, a redirection of standard output to /recalbox/share/system/logs/retroarch.log

i think it would resolve a mame game freeze issue that i have described in https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/issues/781 (and persist the workaround, tail /proc/<retroarch_pid>/fd/1

(i was not able to find the config around retroarch mame command line in recalbox config... did not yet figured it out from source code.. only found sample here and SYSTEMS.md)

any help to resolve this issue would be appreciated !
regards

Hi, es_systems should be in share_init/system/.EmulationStation

You can copy it to share/system/.EmulationStation for easier access.

ok you mean /recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationStation/es_systems.cfg
I made a copy in /recalbox/share/system/.emulationstation
but once restarted, i do not get in emulstationmenu/.. advanced options/ mame the choice with two values defined here for instance :
<emulator name="libretro">
<cores>
<core>imame4all</core>
<core>mame078</core>
</cores>
</emulator>

so i am not sure its actually read...

btw i've found where the command is composed and launched , redirection of standard output could be put here..https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-configgen/blob/4.0.0/configgen/emulatorlauncher.py#L151
