@AdamBeGood Einhander was totally a shock on the PS1. It's fun. I never played it "back in the day", so it's brand new to me thanks to emulation. The graphics are slightly dated, but for the time the 2.5D gameplay is impressive.

I'm not that big of a fan of horizontal shmups, but It's so much more enjoyable than something like Last Resort.

@ruckage how did your repo of the front sticker turn out?
I'm doing a similar project and was having trouble finding a new sticker, so I was hoping you had some success! (or failures I can learn from!)

Apologies for digging up an old thread; it seemed more appropriate than creating a new topic!

As mentioned in Post#1, we are now opening chapter: Curse of Configs

@Ashpool said in CP2020 - my DIY 2Player/Trackball Control Panel:

Since my last visit, the Page for the I-Pac got a major overhaul and the new Firmware 1.55 is now called "Multi-Mode" [... ...] the old "Gamepad enabled" FW139 is now called "Alternative Firmware (Mixed Mode)" [... ...] they are mentioning now:
"This is an alternative firmware version [... ...] Retropie does not work with this configuration. The standard multiMode version (above) enables one device type at a time on the host (plus mouse) and this is required for Retropie. [...]"
Sadly, that was the Firmware I've build my concepts on (and had tested on a PC, never thought Retropie couldn't cope with it).

Well, I've tried on a fresh retropie-buster-4.6-rpi4.img install with my old IPac Configuration (Joy(1/2), Buttons(1/2)1-7 + Start and Select as Gamepad and (1/2)SW8, (1/2)A and (1/2)B as keys and it was working just fine (Quicktest on some 2 player games in lr-mame2003: Both Players Gamepad Functions where fine (upon start the messages detected I-PAC2 on Port 0 and detected I-PAC2 on Port 1 flashed up and the keyboard keys where accepted fine from mame (ie. 1A (Button M in Post #9) set to TAB opened the Mame Menu). ... What I hadn't considered (as I had not assigned any "shifts" so far) was: The assignment of a switch to act as Gamepad, Keyboard or Mousebutton is a general one, so it cannot act as Gamepad (unshifted) and as a keyboard (shifted) [though I bet that would only be a Firmware-thing] :/

This would have been my intended configuration:

As using Hat-(UDLR) and Buttons 8,11+ (WinIPAC can assign Buttonnumbers 1-28) as shifted assigns ain't going to be of any use (i believe?), I think i heed the advice from @theink in his wonderfull guide to setting up the IPAC2 as a keyboard controller and stick to keyboard only (though his argument that the I-PAC is only recognized as one controller in gamepad-mode appears (to me) to be void nowadays [at least for the Retropie Install mentioned above with an I-PAC 2 (Firmware 1.39) configured in WinIPACV2 (V1.0.8.12)])

Edit: And I haven't tried wether it is possible to assign keyboard keys as hotkeys (no hotkey-enable button set) or not... so that could have been the next boobytrap laid out for me within this battle ;>

@xddarko It's here - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Creating-Your-Own-EmulationStation-Theme/.

yeh haha, i reckon the devs will get on it at some point now the worlds heading into a new place

@BaksBani Please don't necro-post by replying to years old topics. Start a new topic instead.

@Krakatoa Always glad to hear it!

I tried commenting out both, like you suggested, but the dimming is still happening. I’m thinking this is just a default behavior in EmulationStation.

Son of a birch, that is a good looking cabinet!!! Love me some woodgrain, so this is glorious all around.

@sad_muso and @AdamBeGood

Most of the development of this theme as been moved other to this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9211/new-comic-book-theme

I have a fork of it and development has been on and off. It can be found here: https://github.com/Zenjir0/es-theme-ComicBook

To answer your question @sad_muso, no there is no 1080p version. This is due to limitations of the RaspberryPi 1 and 2. Namely the file size of the background image needs to be below 512KB. I also do not have all of the original art assets that was originally used to render the images. Making the only way to get 1080p versions of the old backgrounds would be by upscaling them using a tool like waifu2x or A.I. Gigapixel.

I do recommend using this version of emulationstation on Windows to get the best experience with this theme.

@mauro77
Thanks, this program is great, arrm is another good "SOFT ARRM : Another Gamelist, Roms manager, and Scraper for Recalbox, Batocera, Retropie"
Remember this forum is English, i am Spanish

That's-
Actually hilarious.

From what I've seen, for individual game, the Bezel Project uses the RetroArch's configuration override feature, by creating an overlay config in /opt/retropie/configs/all/retroarch/<core_name>/<game_name>.cfg (see an example here).
It doesn't overwrite RetroPie's ROM folder configuration (/opt/retropie/config/arcade/retroarch.cfg) or any of the .cfg file in the ROM folders.
So, referring to the 2 configuration examples above, I don't think they'll be impacted. Anyway, take a backup before adding the bezels, just to be safe. Make sure you have enough free space, since the they take quite some space (just the MAME bezels take more than 1Gb).

@FlavioBello11 awesome!

Nice! Are you still working on this?

@Timmiejane You should submit a pull request to retropie on github for this.
