@buzz Wow I can’t believe it’s been two years since my topic was posted! Better late than never :P

@lurker It can be done. A lot of people jump to the direct GPU which cannot be done, however the Displayotron Hat LCD panels you can get for the Pi which run over the GPIO interface use a frambuffer which runs independently from the GPU, so terrible framerates overall but for displaying 2D graphics.static images it is perfectly acceptable. All you need is a display of similar construction with an SPI interface to send the image to.

For anyone wanting to attempt this with Stretch, it's actually a lot easier. The owncloud client and command line client are now included in Stretch. Run apt-get install owncloud-client-cmd to install the client this script needs. Then edit the script so that it is checking for owncloudcmd in /usr/bin/owncloudcmd instead of /usr/local/bin/owncloudcmd. Run the edited script through sudo and away you go. Everything works swimmingly aside from the fact that old saves are not moved to the new location.

there are new themes, could you update your script?

@mitu @Semper-5

Can you discuss this please in a new thread?
I think a small "how to install nehara"-thread would be better as it's a DP mod and can't be run in lr-tyrquake.

I found one! A friend asked me for a seperare Tate-Card to switch to when using his Tate-Display. Simply use the Arcade-Sytem instead of seperate Mame and FBA-Systems. Enter a game with Mame2003-core, activate rotation and save the system configuration file (not game or core override!). Done. The rotation setting will also apply to all FBA-games.

There isn’t any they will do as the epic doesn’t accept cartridges

@alexis-puska thanks for the reply,

can you give me some instructions on how to instaall this, sorry i was following a guide before and not sure what i need to do.

Thanks

also does your version have the saturn wide screen massive map?

Thanks

One option would be to drive the localscreen from the composite video and leave hdmi as an external option. This is what Pierre-Louis did for his RetroStone project.

That applies only to a certain kernel version which I don't remember exactly, but I know for sure that the kernel versions on Raspbian Stretch from the beginning doesn't need it anymore, it "sees" all the available memory. You can easily check that for example with free -m and adding the gpu_mem you have configured to that.

For those who would like to input their opinion, there's a discussion going on at github. They are indeed reversed due to CPS titles but that causes cross-type ABXY games to be unplayble without a custom config file.

@Zigurana If you want, maybe I can take a look when my job on the grid view will be "finished". I start to understand well this part of the code base.

@zigurana I use a different account name on the forum, @Koerty is just a placeholder so nobody take it. If you want an answer tag this account :)

@darknior I don't really follow what's going on on the forum, I will try to check it more in the future to collect more feedback.

But right now I'm busy disassembling and reassembling the grid view so RetroPie's main contributors can carrefully review each parts independently, so we get a strong and reliable code, battle tested and easy to upgrade/fix if something change in the future.

I planned to make a first public release once it is stable and mature enough for everyone to use it, but at this time it will be way less evolved than the one from Jacobfk20. So now, after seeing all of this messages about the grid view, I fear to have too much negative feedbacks even if more upgrade are planned for the future.

@meleu @Kaltinril I took a bit of action how the cleaner scripts (image and gamelist) work in general.

@all users
First thing that stops me from integrating a picture/video remover into the BashROMManager is that there in no evidence that every user got the same file strategy.
Second: Time shedule!

I tested these two wonderfull tools on my mashine and they work fine! I was able to remove entries from gamelists - after I removed some ROM files. So I these fine tools are working. But I think the responsibility is to much to remove files and work with fragile xml lists in a "automated" ROM deletion process. Please don't think the scripts are not working or the ROMManager itself is the culprit ... No! I simple have no time for extensive trouble shooting!

Here is the link to the image-cleaner script powered by meleu, kaltinril and sano

I think a chance that I step into integrating this is, if I start to scrape all my ROMs ;) I didn't do that the last 2.5 years so you can calculate if I do this in future. I think I will integrate a "log-file" of deleted rom-files into the BashROMManager and maybe a help section how the cleaner tools should be feed manual.....

Nevertheless if there is a strong demand maybe @Sano @hiulit @meleu @mitu and others can (if these nice guys got time) help to integrate. My github resporitory is open for everyone...

I deeply hope, that all these scraper things will be setted in per system SQLite databases once a time. Then it will also be easier to maintain and share such things. So we have a database, were all our roms get one hash string. The hash points to metadata. As long the hash value is in the database the ROM does excitst. To renew the database we have to renew all hash values ;)

@herb_fargus It is, even the logo. \o/ Thanks!

Could you please reseed the torrent? I see zero seeders :(

@markwkidd

nice work mate im going to to some work on mame magic for making a catver for mameplus when im off work should be Monday or Tuesday. I didnt think you would get it added to lrmame-2003 well done mate am very impressed :)

@synack If you have a solution that would be amazing!

@bananu said in VCMI in Retropie?:

It would be great if it´s added as experimental package

Until someone gets around to making a pull request for it's addition, you could always add it yourself. The process is fairly straightforward.

Its been a while since i implemented this and everything works just fine. I wonder though, would it be technically possible to load a different splash video or splash screen depending on the loaded es_system file?

For example, for console games a splash video and for arcade games a different splash video.
