@wsamh said in Hide consoles?:
there are no roms to remove. just the default txt files.
Even if there are no actual ROM files, the presence of gamelist.xml is enough for Recalbox to show games in the list. Try deleting that file if you haven’t and restart EmulationStation and/or the whole system.
If you meant the readme txt files, those don’t matter. If this doesn’t work, it’s also possible to overload es_systems.cfg and comment out a particular console’s code block.
Recalbox has Moonlight installed which allows you to share a desktop PC to an RPi. It’s an NVIDIA technology and so, for a Linux host-side, you’ll need to use the open source software Sunshine.
In addition to running sunshine, check out this fix I noted at the bottom. There are some parts of the game discovery process that aren’t working with the current script in recent Recalbox versions - not tested on the latest 8.1, however. Once you get this working, an entry for Moonlight will appear in the Recalbox main interface automatically.
But, with all that above, it definitely does work. I’ve run Linux host -> RPi4 over wifi and it worked fairly well. You can check the Recalbox wiki moonlight page for more details, tips, etc. I remember having some minor difficulties getting sunshine to run at the time.
