Scripting / Re: I'm wanting to create a second screen/menu, how do I go about doing this?

« on: February 13, 2017, 05:20:34 PM »

I've got an idea to do this. But it depends on running a squirrel script that gets the display name or index, and assuming them don't change, another script to set the display based on index or name.
So basically just figure out the name or index for each display, lets say all the nintendo displays, then you would create a Nintendo display menu and instead of displaying roms it would display each nintendo emulator and just run the script to change to that display.  Kind of like how attract mode setup can run scripts like shut down, retropie setup, etc.

You should just need to change AM to run in windowed mode and you can see the prompt output...

I'm sorry I thought I put that I was on a raspberry pi, running windowed doesnt change anything. I would jut like to run a script from terminal to get the display index or name, then another separate script to switch to said display from a terminal or ssh.

Thanks for the help. One more thing. How would I go about running this script from the terminal to get the index and name of the displays?

Hello, I've been reading a bit about the squirrel language and would like to make a script to change the display.
I've read documentation and there is a function called  "fe.set_display()"
If anyone could help me on writing a script to do so I'd greatly appreciate it.
