One of the finishing touches I wanted on this project is to make the Raspberry Pi boot directly into the Sol-20 emulator on startup.
I created an autostart folder on my Pi and switched to that folder.
mkdir /home/pi/.config/autostart cd /home/pi/.config/autostart
Into the autostart folder just created I added the following two files.
runSol-20
cd /home/pi/Sol-20 /usr/bin/python3 main.py
Sol-20.desktop
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=Sol-20 Exec=/home/pi/.config/autostart/runSol-20
In addition the runSol-20 file must be made executable with the following command:
sudo chmod 777 runSol-20
Now if you reboot the system, you should briefly see the desktop appear, and shortly after Sol-20 emulator will load.
