Like #15787 have you planned an ES update to enable this? This feature is very newbie-friendly, it needs a button/switch in ES to enable/disable it. |
The goal was always to have an ES toggle, yes. But PR'ing things to ES is a bit frustrating to say the least so my priority is really just to get it into batocera first and ES second. In a perfect world someone with the authority to merge ES PR's would just create the toggle wherever they want it to be themselves and tell me what they need for it to work. I can have a status arg return a 0/1 easy enough so ES can use that as a boolean for the toggle switch. |

I updated the script to use a status arg for ES to use for the switch. Someone needs to tell me exactly what they want changed, do it themselves, or merge/close it. No one has expressed any interest in this feature, so frankly I do not want to spend any more time on this. |
Purpose of this PR is to allow users to easily reboot their machine into a debug mode, where any overlay file will be ignored, prevent any new overlay from being saved while in debug mode, and a new tmpfs userdata being mounted with bind mounts to existing userdata.real/bios+roms for testing purposes.
A follow up PR will be needed for ES toggle switch after this is merged.
