@SuperFromND, thank you for this find!

@VerBlooD Here's a script to automate that https://ericslenk.com/posts/running-steam-games-from-emulationstation.

Cool idea and looks nice.

You might consider using <sortname/> [1] in the gamelist instead of modifying the display name of the ROM upon preprocessing.

What duration adds the preprocessing to the ES start?
Do you rewrite every extra information to the gamelist every time (video, thumbnail, ... and hiscores)? I would assume only rewriting the hiscores would be sufficient as they change more often than the "static" scraped data.
Last but not least: What are your plans to publish the sources?

@etheling Hi, finished the same project...
I have spent many hours trying to get the overlay and Atari ST screen to line up. Could you Please post all the config files? I say config because Im doing mine on a Raspberry Pi 3... Tanx

@huxley518 Hey, oddly working on a similar thing in Python to generate a custom gamelists to for a curated set of games across all systems. A bit more of what I've been doing is here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/32674/arcade-high-scores-in-the-system-menus-adapted-grid-theme-with-videos but what I'm working on at the moment is pulling out high score data and putting it into a game's description. By using the favourites menu I can pull in all my favourite games and have in one single menu. All the games' data I've curated is in a .csv file.

Here's a snippet of my arcade gamelist.xml all of which is generated each time my cab is turned on before ES starts up.

Unfortunately the theme doesn't work with the EmulationStation version distributed by RetroPie.

@FiKiBE the link is online.

@asdone77 said in theme gamelist text alignment problem:

How can the text of the gamelist be centered and left alignment at the same time。

I don't think it can. What do you mean?

@segasonic THX BIG ! :)

@r3dstar

I have tried to play around with those numbers too.
Tried with or without autolayout.

I also tried all of those setting under carbon2021, things seems works fine there.

nothing would change anything. the grid still doesn't show up. So I can't see anything taking effect.

The only time the game grid will show up is when deleted the game grid tag. LOL and the default would grid would shows up.

All the controls seems to work as well, but the gamegrid or any color of a tile for example would not being show.

@DTEAM
Thanks! Those links are really helpful. I'll add that to the list.
Great project you have there!

@youxia @altruistictrog I had just noticed there is more than just the theme. Would love to talk about it as well.

@CARRisma

Looking good.

I think you want to know that electron is officially supported in this theme :
https://github.com/DTEAM-1/cygnus-blue-flames

We are working on it here :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29961/request-for-artists-working-on-themes-needs-for-lr-mess-mame-additions

If you want to, then you can join in.

It basically work to support our project with a supported theme for the special systems :
https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/29682/development-of-module-script-generator-for-lr-mess-and-mame-standalone

@BadMojo12 ok understood. Advmame can be installed as an optional package. I think it used to be installed by default but now its one of the optional packages. You'll need to become familiar with the Retropie directories. Can you get your pi on your network and drill into it from your pc with ftp or ssh? I use ftp to copy roms and move files around, and ssh to edit .rc files. I will also use a keyboard on the pi to run tests. Just about everything I've learned came from these here forums and the documentation.

@cdaters I appreciate you looking into this for me. Unfortunately, it didn't work. All of the mapping is correct in the gamelist file, but I still only see video for the ones with videos and none of the images for those without videos show up.

@calom Exactly ^^

I've made some new ones for Mega Drive, 4:3 Integer scaled, overscale on. I'm using the zfast CRT standard shader, looks nice.
I've gone for a minimalist look this time.

Not very happy with the Korean one but it's very difficult to find a decent logo.

Feel free to use as you will!
