@ruckage Yes, it was an horizontal scrolling of the game. :) Thanks for your answer by the way, and thanks for your work.

I would love that info when you get a moment no rush. Great work by the way. I'm running it on my pi1 it works great. The only thing I don't do is run video snaps on my game selection screens there is too much of a lag. Any chances of making bezels for your theme. @TMNTturtlguy Thanks again

@fenris
I guess you just have to try the different settings. What you can do though is go over to www.screescraper.fr and look for some of your games. Under "Medias" you can see the different available box art, marquees etc. for each game.

See for example Super Castlevania IV:

@hansolo77 OK, that's as up to date as it gets.

Could you move the conversation to a separate thread and add me to it, as this is not related to this topic anymore?

Any emulators you notice this happening with? Does it also happen with any other theme?

Thanks.

@Rookervik did you saw what I has to say to you un the luminous theme's tread?

@spaceman1980

how would i go about making my dpad a mouse?

So long as your DPad identifies as ABS events and not BTN, you would just use the same set of steps for mapping mouse movement to a joystick.

And here's another new overlay ready for a great Classic: AMIDAR.

@fluffypillow I have a new model 3B, RetroPie 4.3.
Will have to test some more...

I know this has nothing to do with retro stuff, but I recently released a new EP (short album) and I made the cover arts for each of them look like 8-Bit Art. Even one of them looks like Tetris!

Also adventure uses soundfonts from the SNES, and I'm working on more stuff that will use soundfonts.

As of any projects, nothing is really going on right now. I might go to my school and de-solder something that was stopping progression from my SNES project.

@meleu That would be perfect.

At one point my synopsis files would contain links on occasion inside of the body. This was generally for hacks and translations that would have addendum patches to them. I'm in the process of updating all of these files and that type of information won't be in the synopsis anymore. If somebody wants to read any of that, that's what the links are for ;)

The new synopsis files I'm working on will be short, sweet and to the point. They will talk about the game and not about patch information.

That being said, there will probably be weird issues on some of the files for the non-NES systems that haven't been updated, but I'll get to everything eventually. :)

@lilbud Thanks Lilbud :)

Did this ever get into pulled into the retropie repo? If not, are you planning to?

I'm looking at possibly starting search and would love to start with a gridview already there.

@strangeruk Glad to hear it.

If you want to see all settings for the scraper. You can use the below command:

scraper -help

@morrisav10 I don't know. You could try adding a new thread, I don't know that many people will see your proposal here.

@hyruleslink lol, you're welcome. I've made a couple others. I made this one for my friend so he can see some information before a game loads.

Made it super fast. I'd want to re-do it if others wanted to use it.

Hi,

If you'd like to donate I have a paypal donation link: Donate
The donation link is also in my signature.

For the controls, if you let me know what you'd like them to say I can edit it so the text style matches, the theme is setup to allow for multiple versions of the controls so another set would be easy to add. (Same goes for anyone else, if the help controls don't suit your setup let me know and I can edit them to your needs).

Here are the blank icon backgrounds (all three styles): Download

I found a tutorial that allows you to use voice commands to play songs from youtube.

if you install python3-pip then it works great. You just tell google to play whatever you want to hear and it plays it from youtube. in the background.

It's not really easier than this because you have to install google assistant (which means setting up an oauth key) but if you can follow semi-technical walkthroughs you can do it and have remote storage of most songs.

@livefastcyyoung you can also use a system you have no interest on emulate for your not classified roms, hacks, etc, just create a folder for that in /home/pi/RetroPie/roms and create the entry in /home/pi/.emulationstation/es_systems.cfg under Platform tag use the one from the system you don't want to emulate (e.g. vectrex) for your system entry or well create your own art, is super fun! ;)

@lilbud said in Flat Theme:

@insecurespike I think if you set the max systems count to '1' and moved the carousel to an X POS of '0' it might work

cool thanks lots!

Yeah, I will add a barrel jack later on my new Famicom case. This one is not the best looking work.
I still got 3 Famicoms around to bleach and mod. I broke not needed pieces out with a pench tool which doesn't look nice I should buy a Dremel or similar for better results.

Regarding the fan, I haven't encountered any issues thus far. My RPi is nice and cool inside the Famicom.
