Manual Installation of dynquee on Raspberry Pi

If you prefer to install dynquee manually, follow these steps.

Note

These instructions are for installing dynquee on Recalbox on Raspberry Pi. If you're installing on Recalbox on PC, see the Recalbox PC manual install guide. If you're installing on a separate machine, see the guide for running on a separate device.

Download

1. Log in to recalbox as user root either via ssh or via the console.

2. Create the dynquee directory:

   mkdir -p /recalbox/share/dynquee

3. Change to that directory:

   cd /recalbox/share/dynquee

4. Download the latest dynquee release, unzip it and tidy up:

   wget -O dynquee.zip https://github.com/poppadum/dynquee/releases/latest/download/dynquee.zip
   unzip dynquee.zip
   rm dynquee.zip

Test

Try running the command python3 -m dynquee. If all goes well, you should see the startup image on your marquee display. Check that it responds to Recalbox actions by selecting a game system: the marquee should change to the logo or console image of that system.

Press Ctrl+C to stop the program.

If it doesn't work as expected, check the log files in the logs/ directory:

• logs/dynquee.log contains the summary log
• logs/dynquee.debug.log contains the full debug log

If you've checked the logs and still can't see what's wrong, see the help section in the README.

Run At Startup

1. To get dynquee to run automatically at startup, remount the root filesystem read/write and copy the init script to /etc/init.d/:

   mount -o rw,remount /
   cp install/S32dynquee /etc/init.d/
   chmod +x /etc/init.d/S32dynquee
   mount -o ro,remount /

2. Check that dynquee can be started with:

   /etc/init.d/S32dynquee start

If all goes well, reboot Recalbox and check that dynquee starts automatically.
