  @etheling said in Retropie Installation on Ubuntu Server x64 18.04.1: @MisterB Not sure if this is what's causing @johnodon s troubles but I had the install fail few times because unattended upgrades kicked in, got lock for apt and thus made the install script fail in odd ways as apt gets from script started failing. I added this to the very beginning of the script to disable unattended upgrades: echo "Disable unattended upgrades for now. Re-enabled at the end of main install script" systemctl stop unattended-upgrades systemctl status unattended-upgrades systemctl disable unattended-upgrades # dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades # dpkg --configure -a # cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades And then just before reboot: function enable_unattended_upgrades () { echo " " echo "+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------" echo "| Re-enable unattended upgrades" echo "+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------" echo " " sleep 5 systemctl start unattended-upgrades systemctl status unattended-upgrades systemctl enable unattended-upgrades ## dpkg-reconfigure -plow unattended-upgrades cat /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20auto-upgrades dpkg --configure -a ; # make sure everything is in synch; unnessary..yes? } this has fixed my package failure issues! Thanks @etheling . :)

  Glad i came over here, cause the version that can be installed from within Retropie has its ratings broken since the Pi4 Perhaps it'd be a good idea to include @Zenjiro updated version to the Retropie theme installer.

  @Zachariel Hey, it's been a while so I'm not sure if you're still checking this thread, but if so, any chance you could add the Neo Geo CD? I've got a handful of NGCD games that are currently lumped in with my normal NG games that I'd like to split off into their own category.

  Hey thank for the code and it works great for a kit i pick up on Ebay, it wasn't that difficult to follow along with, and it's great that i had come across this. This is such great help, and understood what you mean by " this is very important because most guide are for 3.2 inch so if u have the waveshare 3.2 u must exchange the word "waveshare35a " in "waveshare32b" so when you mean if you have a 3.2 inch change "waveshare35a " to "waveshare35b" and if you have a 3.5 inch keep it at waveshare35a

  I've got a light bulb above my head for a new ES theme, but can anyone tell me if this is a good idea?

  @h2805270 I reckon this must be do-able. I made this Monkey Island theme ages ago (can't remember whose code I built it off - would have been an existing theme though), and it's the same principle really - one background with the system 'buttons' in different positions, which then link to the system pages (apologies for the dodgy handheld video, I don't have any way to do screen capture): I suppose the difference is that with mine you're still just scrolling left and right through the systems in effect though - not actually moving the selection in 4 different directions to choose a system. So visually it's definitely possible to do what you want, but you might still be left with a theme where you have to go through all the themes until you get to the one you want, rather than being able to navigate to it more quickly. I've no idea if that's possible - if so, it sounds a good idea to me. Cheers, Mark

  @johnodon You can specify the max width and height for artwork in theme.xml, iirc. I customized my theme and never resize the images, it's all handled in Emulationstation.

  @chicuelo Thank you! Your Dark the is brilliant by the way, thanks so much for making it available for us all! I made one tiny change - swapped the Amiga character art for one I made by editing the box art for Putty (I used to love that game!): Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing whatever you might do next! 😊 Mark

  @mpnuttall Sorry, I don't have any experience with such large files on Github. But Git Large File Storage (git-lfs) could be what you need: https://git-lfs.github.com/ https://docs.github.com/en/github/managing-large-files/versioning-large-files

  @mitu thanks for your reply. I've just had another look and realised I had a mixture of .jpg and .png but all of my xml coding was for .png. Silly boy! Sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees! LOL All sorted now, thanks.

  a not good solution is use this: <helpsystem name="help"> <fontPath>./_res/fonts/TitilliumWeb-Regular.ttf</fontPath> <fontSize>0.035</fontSize> <origin>0 0</origin> <pos>1 1</pos> </helpsystem> but i would prefer to hide the help, but allow the user to reactivate it from the menu if he wants.
