Emulator Manager For DreamOS

Hello Everyone,

Emulator Manager Plugin for DreamOS

To manage emulators, follow these steps:

1️⃣ Add the Emulator:

Add the compatible binary file for your device to the following directory and set the permission to 755:

/usr/bin/cam

2️⃣ Create the Service File:

Create a service file for the emulator inside the following directory:

/lib/systemd/system

🔹 Service File Examples:

OSCam Service

[Unit]
Description=OSCam Service
Wants=network-online.target
After=network.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/cam/OSCam-Emu_r11868-802 -b
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

NCam Service

[Unit]
Description=NCam Service
Wants=network-online.target
After=network.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/cam/NCam_15.2 -b
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

📌 Important Notes:

✔ The plugin currently supports skins in 1920 and 1280 resolution.

✔ Make sure to stop any running emulator before using the plugin.

✔ Ensure filenames are consistent and contain no spaces, otherwise, the plugin will not detect the emulator.

🔹 Correct Naming Example:

• Emulator binary file: OSCam-Emu_r11868-802
• Service file: OSCam-Emu_r11868-802.service
• Emulator name inside the service file: OSCam-Emu_r11868-802

🗑 Uninstalling the Plugin:

If you are not satisfied with my plugin, you can easily remove it using the following command:

apt-get purge --auto-remove enigma2-plugin-extensions-emulatormanager

Best regards.

Update 1.1:

• Default skin applied.
• internal improvements.

Update 1.2:

● Minor fix

Update 1.3:

• Encryption system display added.

Update 1.4

• You can now customize the emulator name displayed in the plugin interface by using the Description field in the service file, instead of relying on the file name.
• Internal improvements for better compatibility and stability.

How to change your emulator name:

1. Open the emulator’s service file located at:

/lib/systemd/system/

2. In the [Unit] section, find the line Description=, or add it if it doesn't exist.

3. Enter the name you want to display, for example:

Description=NCam 15.2

Example of a complete service file:

[Unit]
Description=NCam 15.2
Wants=network-online.target
After=network.target network-online.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/cam/ncam -b
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=5

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Important notes:

• If no Description is set in the service file, the plugin will use the emulator file name instead.
• Make sure the following items match:
  • The emulator file name (e.g., ncam) located at /usr/bin/cam/
  • The service file name (e.g., ncam.service) located at /lib/systemd/system/
  • The emulator file name specified in the ExecStart line inside the service file (e.g., /usr/bin/cam/ncam)

• This match is essential for the plugin to detect and manage the emulator properly. If these elements do not match, the emulator will not appear in the plugin interface.

After completing the changes, save them, then reload the systemd configuration by running the following command:

systemctl daemon-reload

Best regards.
