one solution which is currently working on all platforms are based on some small source code tweaks. The major problem is regarding the www/platform folder. Especially older phonegap versions doesnt introduce the same Folder structure so you needto adjust the following file to make it properly:

Additional information: Make sure ripple was installed globally as well as Phonegap and/or Cordova

npm install -g ripple-emulator
npm install -g phonegap
npm install -g cordova

This solution works for Linux, Mac and Windows. You only need to pay attention on the path. Filenames about the source code adjustments remain same. This explanation is based on windows but can be easily used for any other operating system.

1.) Find the ripple Folder on your hard Disk (on Windows you need to show your hidden files and than you should be able to find it at the following path:

Windows:

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ripple-emulator

Pay attention to replace YOUR_USERNAME with your current username in the shown path. If you have customized your path where npm modules get installed please go to that folder and search for the following directory in it /ripple-emulator

2.) Next lets find the file which makes trouble to start ripple correctly. Within the /ripple-emulate directory navigate through the following subdirectories server\emulate. Full path e.g.

Windows:

C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ripple-emulator\lib\server\emulate

3.) Open cordovaProject.js and replace all strings which contain "platforms" with an empty one "" as shown Bellow, you can also copy the code shown bellow...

var platforms = fs.readdirSync(path.join(paths.orig, ""));
        if (platforms.indexOf('android') >= 0) {
            opts.cordova = 'android';
            paths.android = path.join(paths.orig, "", "android", "assets", "www");
        }

        if (platforms.indexOf('ios') >= 0) {
            opts.cordova = 'ios';
            paths.ios = path.join(paths.orig, "", "ios", "www");
        }

        if (platforms.indexOf('firefoxos') >= 0) {
            opts.cordova = 'firefoxos';
            paths.firefox = path.join(paths.orig, "", "firefoxos", "www");
        }

        if (platforms.indexOf('blackberry10') >= 0) {
            opts.cordova = 'blackberry10';
            paths.blackberry = path.join(paths.orig, "", "blackberry10", "www");

4.) Now save it.

5.) Make sure you have uninstalled the ripple emulator plugin in chrome (to check open chrome browser, go to Settings and choose extensions). In case you don't know how to uninstall extensions in chrome you can find some additional instruction here https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/113907?hl=en In addition make sure you are using chrome as your Default browser.

6.) Now open your command line and navigate to your phonegap specific www folder and run the command

ripple emulate

optional you also can run it with the following command:

ripple emulate --path/TO_YOUR_PROJECT_FOLDER/www

Thank you & br Schreda

Try running ripple emulate from the root of the project, not in the platform www folder.
