There needs to be an easier method of installing on the raspberry pi. Considering this app is designed for RetroPie, it should also install an easy to access shortcut in the EmulationStation menu

Hi!
Is possible in the next versions have the possibility to download SCUMMVM games?
thx

Describe the bug
"sudo apt-get install python-pip libarchive-dev" does not install needed Python 3 pip

Should be "sudo apt install python3-pip"

To Reproduce
pi@retropie:/pi_romulus $ sudo apt-get install python-pip libarchive-dev
pi@retropie:/pi_romulus $ sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
pip3: command not found

Expected behavior
pi@retropie:~/pi_romulus $ sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
Looking in indexes: https://pypi.org/simple, https://www.piwheels.org/simple

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: RetroPie on Raspberry Pi 3B

This app is currently not pip installable.
As a result, this app is difficult (especially for beginners) to install on their device. As part of the installable milestone, this app should be placed in PyPi

It would be nice to have a progress bar added.
This is helpful for downloads that may take longer such as PS downloads. This feature already exists in Romulus and would be good to have.

Hi,
I have no idea about this when I execute python romulus.py. How to solve this problem? Thanks.

When a user selects a download, it results in the download of URIs and not the ROMs

im on the latest version of retropi and after running the requirements script this is outputted

thx

I tried to use the newest version with updates and it will not run. I tried removing the files and re adding them and got errors I also get errors trying to run it

running it gives the below output

Installing pi_romulus following the instructions produces the following error when attempting to start the app:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "romulus.py", line 8, in <module> import npyscreen as npyscreen ImportError: No module named npyscreen

Currently, Pi_romulus uses Emuparadise. There is however no failsafe, or check for the event that the website should change. This needs fixing. At the very least there should be a warning for the user, and that the dev is notified.

this is the logs
thx

I just got this to try it out, It works well but does not work with all systems on the RPI. I tried with Nintendo DS and it downloaded them into the pi_romulus folder, so I went into directory_utils.py and added it there but this did not make it move the downloaded NDS games into the nds folder. I also added it into /home/pi/pi_romulus/api/resultitem.py

Another issue I noticed, emuparadise compresses some games into rar like psx the downloaded rar goes into the roms folder but not roms/psx and not unpacked

Hi,

Since few days, i notice pi_romulus download stop working.
I was using, and it working very fine before !

python program run correctly, showing search results roms as usualy.
After selecting rom, download windows appear, and back to main menu after 10 seconds.
I try with some roms, and result is same.

What log files should i check and report content here ?

Sorry for my english ;-)
Regards

As per email, the following issue has come to my attention:

For large roms, the raspberry pi will run out of memory.

Thanks Robin Eberhard for pointing this out.

Hello Arthur.

instead of using retropie, I use lakka, another retro gaming platform. Is there any way I can modify the script so that the roms get downloaded to different locations?

Thank you.

It has been brought to my attention that Emuparadise requires a referrer.

Thanks Robin Eberhard for pointing this out.
