  @sx-111 They're described on the 1st page of the project EmulationStation has a few dependencies. For building, you'll need CMake, SDL2, Boost (System, Filesystem, DateTime, Locale), FreeImage, FreeType, Eigen3, and cURL. You also should probably install the fonts-droid package which contains fallback fonts for Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters, but ES will still work fine without it (this package is only used at run-time).

  @UDb23 - Yeah they are very majestic up close and some are huge. A neat animal for sure. Another old movie filmed here was Dances With Wolves. If you're ever in the area again just let me know. They have some incredible wild life you can view from your car in the state park. They wander across the roads and you just stop and watch right where you're driving. Another really scenic drive is named the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway that covers all the good stuff nicely. It's a nice scenic drive if you love nature. Some of the less aggressive animals you can get out and feed by hand but that's not many. I think I might have a solution to fix our issue. Check out the thread as the option that was causing me lockups is listed their. I had to manually edit the core options config file.

  @fluffypillow I'm having another go at updating my theme but due to the scale I'm still struggling a bit. I'm just wondering, now that there's no concept of a current collection or current game you're doing the sorting and getting of those manually. I'm just wondering how you're handling that. Are you doing it all at the theme.qml level and sending those IDs down to each of your subsequent pages? Handling all game and collection management at the top level then? I mean that seems like the most efficient way but I just want to make sure before I go too far down that rabbit hole. I only have short bursts of time to spend on the theme these days so I'm not able to commit enough of a chunk of time to figure it out completely on my own. -edit- no matter. I went ahead with this method anyway and I've gotten it all updated. Now I can look into implementing some of these new features I was badgering you about haha I did notice that it isn't pulling the year from the metadata. Is this part of your current updates?

  Hello I just wanted to say thanks for the great work on this. Almost everything works smoothly, however I seem to have an issue with the HDMI audio not working properly with my 4k Vizio tv. I've tried using the audio fix mentioned here and I do get audio in the retropie main menu, but whenever I select any game from any emulator the audio just craps out and stops working as soon as I start a game. When I unplug and replug the hdmi cable while I'm playing a game I can usually get my sound back, but sometimes does not. Sometimes the audio even works continuously when i've switched games across different emulators and sometimes it does not.

  @mud2005 Not going to happen for the Pi, requirements are -understandably - pretty high up: Processor x86_64 compatible with AVX2 or SSE2 support Memory 512 MB RAM Graphics OpenGL 3.1 support, OpenGL 4.5 support for per-pixel polygon sorting Just like Reicast, there's no magic bullet - the emulation requirements are too high.

  Clyde, I mentioned the spinner-as-a-wheel because you can actually get a wheel to fit the same spinner you have, so I'm looking at getting both. Also, can the Pi see a PS/2 Trackball with a USB adapter ? These are much cheaper than the USB Trackballs, and I like the smaller size. I'm worried the Pi would see it as a simple USB "Device", rather than a trackball. Still, they're cheap enough to try out, so I might order one and post my findings here.

  @CapNinja said in Skyscraper now officially part of RetroPie, please test: After scrapping from three sources, I just wanted to sort genres and to my surprise there was a ton of new genres. Is there any way to simplify? Each source returns a bunch of genres related to the game. I have no control of each individual genre for each source. It comes as a package so to speak. You can prioritize which source you want to use the "genre package" from though. Read more here. I general, please check out the documents in this folder. It will explain pretty much all you need to know. Be aware that some of it is "under construction" as I am currently moving towards the 3.0.0 release. 1.a. I don't know if the miracle of tags multiplication was related to multiple scrape sources. But, how can you decide to description differences after 3 different scrapes (if this plural exists)? It's something like "first come, first served"? See answer above. Games with multiple covers (like the genesis - mega drive situation), there is a way to show both? Like, every 5-10 seconds change photos or something... I don't know if I made my self clear here Not possible and not really part of "scraping". :) This would have to be handled by the frontend instead, which it doesn't at the moment as far as I know. Suggestion. Select multiple sources to scrape in one go. So then I can sleep the sleep of the righteous and wake with all done. You can always script it to do so. Skyscraper won't be supporting this as it's just as easy to simply create a script. You can use the "simple mode" or the RetroPie-Setup script for easier access if you don't like working on command line. :) On the (well made) section of picture-cover-wheel structure, instead of change text, multiple examples to choose. Check the artwork docs as answered above. "Est. time left" is only for one system, right? Can we have another estimated time but for all systems selected? Can't be done. Skyscraper only knows about the current running Skyscraper, not what happens after that. :) Have fun with it!

  @Silent I think you answered that yourself. Because it sucks (and I can't "ghost" them, they will be visible and cause confusion). ;) And I do migrate old config.ini and folders. And it's to be expected that there are changes for major versions. Users should know that. I do keep the --refreshfor a while though, so for those where it makes sense, I do actually keep them a couple months. And the change from localdb to cache is compatible with both versions, as it should be simply left out for both which gives the same result. I think, in the end, this will turn out to be a non-issue when it comes to the script as we can work around it.

  @edmaul69 . Hi, I'm trying to get the overlay you created (my modifying it) working on my Gameboy Zero 320x240 screen, but don't seem to be able to do it. I've come to the conclusion that because Gameboy is 160x144 and my screen is 320x240, there isn't much I can do. What would you recommend for my screen size in producing the most authentic gameboy experience?

  @psyke83 Thank you for your work on the sixaxis scripts! After I setup a new Stretch build on my Pi 3B+ I found I could no longer get more than 4 dualshock3's to connect at the same time using the ps3controller driver. I installed your sixaxis PR and am happy to report I can get 5 official dualshock3's working great! I will borrow at least 1 more PS3 controller and do some more thorough testing to make sure 6player Xmen arcade still works. Inputs seemed very responsive as if the input lag is reduced as well. Thanks again!

  Update The upstream Makefile is now fixed and the lr-scummvm scriptmodule was updated accordingly. You are all encouraged to update your RetroPie-Setup script installation if you want to re-build the core. Speaking of which, another recent commit was merged that implements a core option to control the Mouse pointer speed when using a mouse device (in contrast to using a gamepad). The new option is named scummvm_mouse_speed and it can be found under the core options in RetroArch. Because it is a libretro option, it can be set on a per-game basis as well. I haven't build the core with this new commit yet, but it should build fine. If you happen to re-compile the core, please let us know how it went. Tested now, it compiles and runs fine :) Happy point-n-clicking!
