Hi all! It's been a while! Gravedigging this post to let everyone know I updated the links. I've been getting an uptick in people asking permissions to view/edit the files in Google Drive (!!! that's really cool) but I can't manually fulfill them all, so check the OP for updates or try these mediafire links:

Here is an Arcade bezel for Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom that uses a Reflective Shader by HyperSpaceMadness for Retroarch

I'm glad you've found some of my stuff useful: I'm not really a programmer (Aside from some 6502 and z80 assembly I did ages ago for some ROM hacks) but I script a lot for my day job and hobbies.

The Eneloop Pros are totally worth it: I ran probably my last power test today (Progear for CPS2 running its attract mode until death) and got 5h:54m, with the unit averaging a 92% CPU load during the entire run. Combined with the NiMH charging circuit I've soldered into the unit (Allows the DC jack to charge the batteries when plugged in) I'm totally fine that Retroflag went with AAs instead of an inbuilt Lithium pack, now.

I cannot for the life of me get the OSK you linked to work, either using Git's functions or by even manually copying in the changed files for it over a stock Retropie_Setup pull (Just crashes the WiFi applet). I guess I'll wait until it's committed to the main branch before giving it a go again.

@folly
Better presentation. Nice work I’ll accept your request

Confirmed that overclocking does help performance. I made the following changes:
arm_freq=1150
over_voltage=3

@duel said in [SCRIPT] RetroPie Convert Videos:

1st of all great script. I converted all my videos with no problems. Question though, I'm getting an error when rebooting RetroPie. Illegal-Mpeg-Header . Here's a picture of the error code. https://www.dropbox.com/s/whgj075huoke8u6/img_20211201_075232.jpg?dl=0. Can you tell me what this means and how to fix it?

Nevermind on this error. I've rebooted instead of restarting emulation station and the error went away. Thank you for this script. I've looked everywhere to find a fix for video snaps for MAME to play properly and this was it. Major props.

Is there an easy way to increase the font size for the game list? I am running on a 3.5 inch screen and game names are too small to read.

@eddybigdude What are you looking for? Artwork for the outside of the cabinet? Game art?

This theme recently broke for me as well. Hope someone with the skill is able to figure it out, as these are the best themes in Retropie IMO

@tmntturtlguy hola la verdad te felicito he visto tus temas son preciosos , no he tenido suerte de poder instalar en mi orange pi , debido a que me agradaria un enlace directo para descargara el tema con sus respectivos juegos. Saludos a distancia , espero puedas ayudarme

@mth75 Please can you help me to resolve this issue? I want so hard this script towork but i get a permission error message when i run the script, then i kicked back to emulationstation. I followed instructions at letter. I use last Retropie version on Rpi4.

@nexusone13 I just remembered there was something I meant to say to you, in case it's something you want to include. You have the option to hide a game from the gamelist.xml which works great with ES. It has that option built in. Unfortunately, AM doesn't have this feature and if you want it hidden you have to remove it from the romlist. Maybe ARRM should just not write any hidden games to the romlist? I noticed this when hiding the discs for a multi-disc game I use an m3u for. Easy enough to remove the lines after using Notepad++ so another "not a deal breaker" thing.

Love this software, my number 1 choice for scraping game info. I typically manually sort artwork as I find it, as being a PAL gamer I find I have to work through to swap out the NTSC stuff.

Any Issues to Report?
New release coming soon, a few installation tweaks, but mostly just cleaning up...

@celly Thank you for the info, I will look into that!

@pittstone
Thanks for the response! My problem really has to do with the es_settings.cfg file and how the <command> field cannot run my emulators with a relative path.

Using a batch file was an interesting idea and I did explore using it, but couldn't figure it out. Ultimately I found an accidental solution with the way Onedrive works - I was looking for a cloud-enabled setup that could be used on multiple Windows devices.

@rookervik Thank you love what you did with the screen shots on the Arcade side...

You can use the python-uinput module to create a 'virtual' joystick that will be understood natively by emulators. The connection to your sensor can be handled by the script (read GPIO, USB or serial connection, etc.) and you can simulate a gamepad input with it, based on what data you receive from your sensor.

@gpeds would you be able to post the result with a photo?

@orsoh Seeing your art close up, it looks like you're not going for the consistently sized pixel look anyway, so what you're doing looks fine for the type of design your making. If you look at mine, every pixel is exactly the same size (because I'm neurotic about that), yours has pixels that vary in size. As long a you scale everything with nearest neighbor, you should be fine.
