Pinch is an arcade emulator launcher, written for the Pijamma project.

It's incomplete, but usable.

Run pinch by executing run.sh. Most of the configuration can be edited here by tweaking the various shell variables:

EMU_DIR Directory where the emulator is located

EMU_EXE Name of the executable

EMU_ARGS Additional arguments to the emulator. Selected archive will be included in addition to these arguments.

Titles are specified in a file named config.json. Example:

{
"sets": [
	{ "archive": "mslugx" },
	{ "archive": "samsho4" }
]}

Each title should have an accompanying screenshot in a subdirectory called images, in PNG format, with the same name as the archive (e.g. mslugx.png, samsho4.png).

To move between titles, press left or right arrow on the keyboard, or use joystick 1 left/right. To select a title, press SPACE; to exit press F12.

Joystick buttons can also be used to launch/exit - to specify, edit launch_button and exit_button constants in pimenu.c.

-k <seconds> Enables kiosk mode - after specified number of seconds, pinch launches a title at random.

--launch-next When set, launches the title following the last one launched and exits.

To compile on a Raspberry Pi, install SDL:

sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev

Run make to build.
