gsaidah / piassist

This is a project to make working with the command line interface (CLI) super easy on the Raspberry Pi by providing a more GUI like interface for those less familiar with Linux.

In a nutshell, this is a BASH script file that I hope will make configuring/using your raspberry pi that much easier. I'm testing this only with a RetroPIE install, but most if not all of the functionality should carry over to other linux distributions (Raspbian, OpenELEC, etc.) that can run on the Pi.

The planned functionality of this project is to provide general system information (network, remaining storage space, etc.), connecting/removing bluetooth devices, configuring game controllers (for use with emulators), connecting to WiFi networks and whatever else I can come up with.

Here's the menu options currently available to let you know what the system is capable of:

1. Network (WiFi/Ethernet)

   2. Scan for WiFi Networks
   3. Connect to WiFi network (Root Required)

   2. Reboot
7. Update PiAssist
8. Miscellaneous (Root Required)
   1. Change Keyboard Language/Configuration
   2. ROM Scraper Created by SSELPH
   3. Search for File by File Name
   4. Backup Emulator Save files to DropBox (Thanks andreafabrizi)
   5. Restore Save files from Backup on DropBox (Thanks andreafabrizi)
   6. Change Splash Screen
