@johnodon Hi John, You can change the output folder with the option described here, but not the names of the media files themselves.

You'll need a little more than current MAME and the rollback. You also need a handful of unofficial ROMs for some decrypted, demo and free play games. It's worth the time to find them as arcadez has added some real gems and updated classics with more accurate game play.

If you want to be posh, if you will, ;) and 100% complete check out the OST's added by KMFDManic and grant. They are a very nice complement to games like Double Dragon, Final Fight, Mortal Kombat, Moonwalker, NBA Jam and Outrun.

I think they are in the DAT so you'll have to find them or be ok with set errors. I know some people can be real nutters when it comes to incomplete sets, they just can't stand seeing the report of a few missing ROMs.

It seems the stereo versions are a little more challenging to find but the mono are fairly easy. I think the custom OST's will become more widely available soon though, so keep an eye out.

The mono version will play either the left or right channel bilateral and the stereo is basically split-stereo that is remixed on the fly (they are named identical but suffixed with a "-1" and "-2", for left/right channels respectfully. Some of the 16-bit stereo versions are over 300MB but they are easy to resize and keep the original intact if running on an NES mini or other limited resource console.

I wouldn't worry to much about the CHD's pending your platform of choice and ability to rum them but I I think they are only around 16GB which is relatively small as current CHD's plus rollback CHDs combined are like 600 or 700GB. A current MAME complete set is so big now it has its own drive, I think it's around 1TB without extras.

@mydriaze said in Cardboard Mini NES + Nes mini and Famicom mini themes:

Hello,

I'm really impressed by the talent some people have. Unfortunately, I'm not as skilled as people here. I would like first to thanks Ruckage for his work. That's absolutely beautiful.

However, I have a pretty straight forward question about the nes mini themes: Is an option or a workaround to have parralax scrolling of the game, like the picture below?

Thanks for your answer.

Could you share this theme with grid view support? Thanks

@folly I'll give it a go again but my version wasn't even getting that far...

More compatibility is always good!

Are there logos for "PC-FX" ? I'm missing that one.

Loving those European DS cases. Really nice finds on those CIB Game Boy Games, especially Super Ghouls'N Ghosts!

@mattdiego92 I have discontinued this theme, you can create that system by coping another system artwork or creating a new one

@ruckage and all

I just installed a new Pi0 into a Retroflag GPi case (4:3 - 320x240 screen resolution) running Retropie v4.7.1 and am trying to get SNES Mini going on it.

I didn't see a 320x240 setting in the config.xml file, so I used 640x480. For the most part it looks great! Except in nes_mini background mode, with nes_rich_usa set, the image that I think is supposed to be the carousel background (black with a top and bottom border) does not appear as in the ## BACKGROUND GUIDE 1 ##.JPG image. Instead it is centered in the middle of the screen as a 1 or 2-pixel image filling the entirety of the 'Y' coordinate, but not stretching to fill the entirety of the 'X' coordinate.

Is there a simple fix for this? I really would like to use this theme, I love it...but this issue definitely triggers my OCD, lol!

Here are some examples of what I am talking about (and please disregard the missing icons for those systems, I am still building this out...)

@dteam

Thanks for the feedback.

Indeed I have to work on it, structuring it better.
This is basically caused by the fact that I am working on it.
First I want to make sure things are working correctly.
When I am done adding/testing stuff I will try to reorganize.
Perhaps we can discuss this later on, to make it simpler.
Or indeed add a diagram in the first post.

Perhaps you have noticed, the forum lists are now in two sections. (old and new)
The list can now be build up from the new database we created.
Basically this means I can remove it from the old section, where it used it's own data.

Well, I have noticed now, working on it, that there is still much to be added and things that have to be changed.

Btw.
You can experiment with making some sorting lines, if you want.
That way we can build the new lists that are important to be in there.
You can add it between lines 86 and 107, and share them if you like.

Hi, cery strange issue..
I can't scrape anymore samsho4.
Every time i try to scrape it the program crash.
I scraped with mame, neo geo, but always the same result.
I'm on newer version of uxs..
This appen with only this rom, for now..

@george-spiggott said in Updated EmulationStation for Windows:

Is it planned to add Switch?

No, but everyone can add send a PR to add it, as long as it's supported by the scraping source (ScreenScraner and/or TheGamesDB).

It appears the TI-99 logo in this theme (regular and metadata versions) is still showing as the TRS-80 logo. The TFT version of the theme does have the proper TI-99 logo. I'm not sure if this theme is still updated but just thought I'd mention as it’s a fantastic theme.

@jaamulberry here it was moved to the main Docs page

@UDb23 Thank you! Sorry I took so long to respond. I've been so busy working.

@nismo , Hi there! I'm absolute noob and I'm not a native english speaker, so please be patient with me! I'm using the ES portable build from herb fargus on windows 10 and I'm realy interested in the mentioned launcher which would make my Retro Gaming Experience much more enyoable! Any chance to get this launcher somewhere here in the forum?

@dankcushions Thanks!

@greenhawk84 The version included with TMNT RP is, as far as I can tell, version 3400. There is currently no build of that for the Pi 4, even if you could get multiple OpenBOR versions running at once. There's a Pi 3 build, but no Pi 4 build.

@2play

Hi. Is this where you post issues with this script?

Seems since I last upgraded to Retroarch 1.9.5 lr-puae stopped loading .lha based files. Worked perfectly before this.

Every game I pick now opens, starts to load... then pops up an black Amiga DOS error screen that says..

unknown command FAILAT

1

*** nevermind... it was the CPU setting left on A500. Should have been A1200 or Auto.

But, if anyone ever sees this error message... take a look in Options and check your CPU settings.
