Request for additional event scripts: system-changed, game-changed, screen-saver-changed

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Emulation station supports execution of custom scripts in response to certain events outlined here:
https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation/

Additional events would be useful to support certain Marquee projects. like Pixelcade (https://github.com/alinke/PIXEL/tree/master/EmulationStation-kai)

In this example, an entirely new fork of emulation station was created in order to call custom code in response to certain events. In particular, events around system-changed, game-changed, and screen-saver changed would be a more elegant solution that forking.

Adding new event scripts would likely be relatively straightforward, a "follow the leader" type of changed based on other events, assuming performance would not be impacted while navigating systems and game lists.

Apologies. This is looks to be resolved with this PR: #751
