As of this week, RetroArch supports multiple mice in all cores that have their own support for one or more mice. As long as the original emulator that the libretro core is based on has mouse support, the libretro version should as well.

If a core which should have mouse support doesn't work when thus configured, there is at least one libretro dev who is actively looking for cores to fix for mouse support, so new github issues are welcome.

In other words: what are you trying to do that isn't working?

@SuperCatFooz at that point you may as well use lakka with the xmb interface

I did briefly explore the idea of disabling the rendering of the system view. The problem is the slide transition. While transitioning, there is a small window of time where you need to render the gamelist and the system view. I didn't think about disabling the extras for the non-selected systems. That is another option to look at.

@Hex If that is so, then great that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Indeed, most of my videos work perfectly fine, only a mere fraction make a black screen. I guess this issue will be put on the back burner for now.

Finally about the video audio, I found it in the audio settings (I think it was there all along..!). But might be nitpicky, but I wish there was a way to enable video sounds in the ES menu, but remove it in the screensaver. Really though, at this point, the option that is already there satisfies my needs for the most part.

Thanks, Hex, you were very helpful. :)

appreciate clearing the air :-)

@meleu I've bumped the fav-launcher to v0.85 now
Maybe you can give it a chance. With the User Menu it is now possible to add more than one FAV-system

For all those thinking that every option will have help it is not so. The help message will only be shown in Option List / Multiselect Lists atleast at present. Also Help text is optional ie. it is shown only if defined for an option. This allows help to be shown only for complex/ambiguous options like Audio Device selection (both, the one with PCM and the one with Alsa). Many users dont know what these options do and adding a small help text solves this problem.

@pjft Is Random Screensaver in help necessary?

@TMNTturtlguy Your suggestion is also acceptable.

What I was mostly going for was when a user doesnt know what an option does, they might be inclined to checkout all options in < > Type of setting (OptionList). Clicking A on that opens a list of text components. Here we can have some help shown. So help is not obstructing during the normal usage but only shown in deeper menus

@Zigurana Thanks for your answer.
I already think to this with a friend and the best solution is the second.
Like it is used in Kodi.
Every one can add and use the media he want like he want without any new coding.
And it use less memory for guys who don't use many media.

But like you write it is harder to code :(
If i found some one who can code the second solution it will be the best.
If not i think i will try to code myself the 1rst easy solution for the moment.
Maybe you have the skill to do it, but for myself i haven't :(

@backstander I agree. Ill submit a patch upstream when I have some time.

@Hex https://github.com/miroof/node-virtual-gamepads was updated a month ago, the other one not, but if it works? :)

@pjft Thanks for checking it out. I haven't had a chance to try out the video screensaver on Windows yet, but I will try to do it soon.

@fnkngrv Yeah. That's 0.01 seconds :)

You'll need to set

<showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>

to true, and add a number of seconds there - you may try 1 to start with.

I have updated this method as well as updated the comic book theme to support custom systems. @meleu has also create a very nice linking method as well. If you are interested see the post here which provides directions and links to both methods. New Comic Book Theme!

@phulshof Well, welcome to the group!

@darknior That was just a joke :)

Yes the method from meleu and me needs heavy handwork. I hope that pjft and Zigurana can do an integreated system. For myself I'm happy with my coding - I often did not challenged in the mame rows because I forgot the week winner title :(

@Used2BeRX said in Best way to update marquee, video and other tags in your gamelist.xml:

@darknior Nah. There's no clones in the Rx1.0 set. It's completely clone free.

I already talked to Gilles and reclined the offer to work with you guys because you were removing a lot of games. I already knew we were working on two completely different projects.

I was just letting you know that you should wait to make your gamelist.xml files until we get the program done. Otherwise you're wasting a lot of time making those by hand.

Thanks but no, with Universal XML Scraper it is very fast to make an gamelist.xml
Some Regex to add all Xtra and it is done.
The long task was to found all the stuff in Full HD for our RVGM project :(
We have it from xBox but it is long to work on it ... UXMLScraper have some (not all) bad stuff too ...

Recalbox has an implementation for this already you may have better luck there

Ready to stage 2

@TMNTturtlguy Thanks - same wishes to you, especially with no power at the moment.

Yeah, I can't wait for the first bug reports to start coming up... :P

I should actually start a page in the documentation for Video Players and the Random Game Screensaver as well. That should save quite a bit.

One more thing for my to do list.

@gizmo98
Thanks a lot, I'll take a look inside that script :-)
