@herb_fargus said in Someone knows more about this project?:

@Jste84 I wouldn't recommend it seeing as they are selling retropie which is in breach of many of the emulator licences

I didn't think it was clear they were selling retropie??? They are definitely using it.. but I was giving them the benefit of the doubt that they weren't include the image.

I'd never condone someone selling retropie. I didn't really understand the need for the topic when the website is clearly listed... I also of course would add that anyone who buys a pre-made image is missing out on the fun of this whole thing

@GtBFilms i had uv florescent bulbs in mine. And had bought uv reactive motherboard paints. Oh i remember the good old days of making your pc look cool. And you used it for many years. Nowadays people just buy gutter garbage they end up throwing away in 6 months.

@bisus put the theme in /opt/retropie/all/emulationstation/themes/ and user pi shouldnt get permission denied.

you can take a look at link text

@dankcushions I can certainly recommend the kit, I was looking for something that I did not need to paint, the formica certainly gives a good finish.

There is a slight rough edge where the control panel meets the screen. The design has an angled cut here and the formica chips out slightly.

I will try and find a plastic trim piece for it. It is not a major complaint. I am not sure if the other similar kits have the same problem

This was the cheapest formica faced kit available. Riches bartops dropped their price after I had ordered, but his is still £30 more expensive when courier costs are taken into account.

Hi drixplm, these are the basic tags for a game in a gamelist.xml :

<game>
<path>./GameName.zip</path>
<name>Game Name That Will Be Visible On ES</name>
<desc>Game Description
</desc>
<image>./boxart/GameName.png</image>
<video>./snap/GameName.mp4</video>
<marquee>./wheel/GameName.png</marquee>
</game>

The video tags should be where your videos "snaps" path should be. Hope you get your videos to work :D

@UDb23 sweet... as always buddy.

very clean

nice work

@robertybob Thank you very much!

@itsnitro yeah, sorry :(

Maybe the stock Super Nintendo controller ports.

I test this during last month and in my opinion, the best is :
Nes lr-fceumm or lr-quicknes (lr-nestopia is too heavy)
Snes lr-snes9x2005 or 2002 for compatibility (2010 too heavy, and the standalone pisnes and snes9x-rpi is egual to 2002), forgot fx games ... (Staaarrrrfoooxxxx)
Gb, gbc lr-gambatte
gba lr-mgba
sms, genesis/megadrive, CD lr-picodrive
tg16, CD lr-pce-fast

for arcade game (in bonus) imame4all (standalone) and pifba (for cps games, and neogeo)
NO RETROARCH CORE FOR ARCADE, all are with abusive lagging with pi0w
neogeo pocket and color : no solution, mednafen is lagging in pi zero w
psx : i don't know, if someone knows ...
n64: i doubt it ...
dreamcast: XD
output in 640*480, global in 1080p (not 720p picodrive still laging oO) , no overclocking with 0,5 A , pi-crt shaders, overlays gb, gbc, gba in 480p and with all of it, it work like a charm ...

Will you make a ps2 theme in the future ?

Unfortunately, I am technically not so talented to create a theme. ;-) Thanks for the link, that is already a start. Must times look whether it is still current and perhaps further processed. Thank you.

This might help:

Thanks @badhaloninja, I'll add it to the To-Do list. As mentioned above, I'm working on v3 of the Toolkit at the moment, but I'll hopefully be done with that soon.

@UDb23 it's getting there then ☺ my cab is fine but since I've got it into a usable state I've never actually got around to finishing it. One day...

@Stabbis awesome build with working buttons! Looks a lot cooler than mine!

One detail, just in case you don't know.
Linux doesn't tend (unlike windows ?) to degrade it's performances in correlation with the number of packages, files or installed software.
Aside from new daemons (or running apps) which may consume cpu/ram/iops, you can install basically whatever you want without harming performances.

I do apologize for my "open ended statement". I do know what it's like to work. I am an electrician, do HVAC and appliance repair, as well as farm 2400 acres of land - than I have all these city folk move to the country nearby, who don't know a damned thing, and call upon me all the time for nothing in return... So ya, sorry bout that.

Just getting into the pi thing because I recently broke my leg and have had nearly 4 free hours a day to sit on my ass... Always wanted to get into graphic art etc, but have never had the time. Likely never will either. This pi project is fascinating as s@#! though...
