Disable rom scanner on start-up

Post by Diskarmour » Sat Dec 30, 2023 5:46 pm

Is anyone able to post a screenshot of their configuration file showing how they disable rom scanner on start-up.
I have hashed out what I thought was correct but it keeps running on start-up,
Thanks

I won't post a full run.sh file because I don't know which version of ARpiCADE you have to match it to avoid further problems... essentially you want to find one of these lines (what you have will depend on the ARpiCADE version) in run.sh:

bash /boot/firmware/launchers/ScanRoms_V007.sh allnoporn >/dev/null 2>&1
(or)
bash /boot/launchers/ScanRoms_V007.sh allnoporn >/dev/null 2>&1

and put a # in front of it so it becomes:
#bash /boot/launchers/ScanRoms_V007.sh allnoporn >/dev/null 2>&1
Alternately on some newer ARpiCADE variations you can toggle the startup scanning form the ARpiCADE service menu, either way, the result should be no rom scan at startup. With the startup scan off just scan from the sevice menu if you need to update your list(s).
