i added a (re)Action Cam, a fisheye lens mounted inside the bezel.

it shoots out so you can watch faces people make while playing—more fun than staring at backs.

the camera is connected to the direct interface slot of the pi that controls the LED marquee, running the RPi Cam Web Interface; the feed can only be viewed inside my house's network, it is not connected to the internet. It's just for fun.

Hey all, just and update, I've made some revision changes and improvements on the original code. I consider the scripts relatively stable now.

For detailed changes see:

Kind regards,
Langz

Thanks it worked.
The emulator was not centered in the picture so i had to change the resolution under RETROARCH -> Settings -> Video and width and height. it was 12807someting and i put the resolution of the screen 480320

@cnoto I'm glad you have found a use for it. I had no idea it would help with the pi zero's performance, but I'm happy it does! Thanks for letting me know about it. I thought having an airplane-mode was a crucial feature that was just missing an option in EmulationStation.

@ropgar id be happy to test with a usb nes controller if that would be helpful.

I just found this post and would love to know how to add custom art for the pokemon mini. And your artwork is great! Would you please let me know how to do it?

@ronbo85 said in Control Panel Layout images:

In bash scripting, how do I get iterative values? (load 'em into arrays?)

Yes, you can use arrrays.

And when it comes to single elements (miscDetails) vs. multiple (button labels), would I need individual XMLStarlet calls? (it's a nice, and compact language, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around how best to code it).

My example shows everything in one call, but you can run separate commands if you want to get different values without parsing the output.
For instance, to get the contents of the miscDetails node:

xmlstarlet sel -t -m '//game[@romname="roundup"]/miscDetails' -v "text()" control.xml

If you want to get the how many buttons player1 has :

xmlstarlet sel -t -m '//game[@romname="roundup"]/player[@number="1"]' -v "@numButtons" -n control.xml

@theissdev Thanks again for all your help

Demo video:

@mitu It will be a Spinner to control old classics like Arkanoid and Asteroid. No buttons or "press" functionality needed. Just one axis with decent response, i.e. better than a keyboard press.

The link you shared - thank you very much - looks like it could be what I am looking for. I will try later tonight and then see how I pull that new device into RetroPie/ES.

Thanks a million

I'd love to test this on a raspberry pi when you are ready for beta testers.

Is it going any great?

@anthrax Yes. You can edit the theme.xml file within the theme folder to change the size developer text. There are some more details about how to do that here:

Theme Editing

If you are interested in the layout I edited in the post above, I can send you that specific theme file.

I don't think anyone really replied as to the best theme for this type of setup? What themes that work well?

New release : v1.4

https://github.com/cosmo0/retropie-overlays/releases/tag/v1.4

Found out about Recalbox "complete" pack, so I grabbed a few more systems from there.

Adds a few systems: Atari 800, Atari ST, MSX1/2/Turbo, Odyssey2/Videopac, Supergrafx, Samcoupe, X1, ZX81. And also Apple 2 but the emulator is not Libretro, so it doesn't display it. Changes Channel F & PCFX
