Solved Is there a way to run .sh files from emulationstation?

[futhamucka]

My recalbox is housed inside an arcadestick that I made that has buttons the light up. I wrote a simple python script to turn the lights on and off. At one point I had RetroPie installed and I placed a couple of .sh files in tehe "Ports" folder and I could run them from the Emulationstation UI.
Recalbox does not have this folder, and I haven't been able to figure out how to make this work as I would like. Can anyone help?

You'll have to modify es_system.cfg file to add a new system (just copy an existing one and modify it). You can either do that in the share_init partition (remount it in write mode then) or copy the file in the share partition at the same place.

Share_init : it will be overwritten on next recalbox update
Share : it will take precedence over the share init one so you'll have to verify after each update that you keep your file updated with the new modifications of the share_init one

You'll also have to modify the theme to have abetter looking solution

Where can I find the es_system.cfg file? I'm having trouble locating it.

You can find it here /recalbox/share_init/system/.emulationstation
