Command Line Options for mehstation-config

[HerbFargus]

I use RetroPie on the Raspberry Pi which by default doesn't ship with a desktop environment. It would be a really useful feature if there were command line parametres for mehstation config so that it would be easier to automate conversions between emulationstation configs and mehstation as well as autogenerate configurations for new platforms.

Hi @HerbFargus ,
I've nearly finished a "discover" mode similar to EmulationStation where you just configure a directory for a given platform and it automatically looks for executables inside this directory. It'll allow to prepare an image for Raspberry where people will just have to drop their files into the good directories, matching the behavior of RetroPie.

Indeed, I'll add CLI options to mehstation for people wanting to manually adds their own platforms directory configuration. This way, a build of only mehstation (without mehstation-config/mehtadata) will suffice (even if mehstation-config will still work for complete manual configuration).
The final step in the future will be to integrate the scraper directly into mehstation.

Very nice :) I'll have to give it a test when I get some time.

If you're looking at scrapers, sselph's scraper is one of the best: https://github.com/sselph/scraper it would be really cool if that could be integrated somehow - it generates emulationstation xmls but could probably be adapted or could just run the results through your emulationstation config converter after the fact perhaps.
