Neo Geo X Build

legacy

All the games I have added include videos. Each video sample is around 2 minutes long on each game selection.

Hi everyone,

I just found this topic 1 week ago. I made some custom categories on this theme and I have some questions.

But, first of all, BIG THANKS to the author for his work !!!! This theme is soooo amazing !!! I got a NeoGeo X dock and it is the perfect theme for this !

Now, this is the problem i have : I made these categories : arcade-fighting, arcade-shmup, arcade-misc, configuration (it contains customs scripts to change/load gamepad configurations), (+ neogeo, capcom, retropie). When i use all these categories at the same time, it seems EmulationStation can't follow.
I got a black screen instead the background.png or the background is flashing all the time. The mask is flashing all the time too. Is it a problem of memory with ES ? or did I make a mistake ?

To create a new category, I just copy an original one (neogeo) and I changed the *.png files.

For info, this is my config : Fresh Retropie installation (4.3) on a Raspberry Pi 3. memory_slit : 256.

For the author, I don't know if I can share my work on your theme (disclamer in readme) but if you are interested, I can upload it.

So I dug my neogeo stick it out of the closet to see if I can mod it and not feel like crap. I found out you can. I own the PS3 Neogeo Stick 2 licensed by SNK but the mod should work on original and Neogeo X sticks.

Now it feels good. I replaced the buttons with sanwa 24mm. While they do snap in, they don't sit flush. They don't fall out but I'll hotglue them in the future just in case. I wanted grey to match the originals but sanwa doesn't produce them in 24mm. The ball top I replaced with a red sanwa bat top I had lying around. I also wasn't satisfied with the original spring since it wouldn't center the stick correctly. I bought a seimitsu ls-56 spring, it's a tiny bit stronger and hardly noticeable but it does the job to keep the stick centered.

Well done!
Sanwa doesn't have the screw type buttons in 24mm? Those should fit nicely.

These here I mean.
Red would match too.

@flyingtomahawk Not in white, and white was my second choice over grey. Some have gone with the arcade look of red,yellow,green, blue but I just don't prefer them. It's all good. It's enjoyable now.

The theme isn't particularly user friendly as the way I created it you would have to add your own Capcom system to retropie (it was made before custom collections were added to ES).

However if you only plan to add capcom games to the FBA rom folder the easiest way to make the theme work for you is to go into the neogeo theme directory and you will see a folder named 'capcom'. Rename that folder to 'fba' and it should work. Hope that makes sense.

8bithero

@ruckage ok thank you i'll give that a shot

8bithero

@ruckage i kind of wanted to use the fba on its own at some point because you said you were going to add one more arcade theme for everything else anyway anyone can do a step by step on how to set up the cps system

Finally getting into the home stretch for the modifications/customizations of @ruckage 's neo-geo theme for our full sized mvs cabinet.

@linuxarcadeguy

Love the joystick select icon you created in the carousel, any chance you could share that image?

@enginesol retropie has a custom forked emulationstation i believe so if there are things utilized by it then it probably wouldnt.

LinuxArcadeGuy

@skj sorry, @ruckage forbids it, it is his work and on theme and I customized it for my needs, as he has said users can do this but cannot redistribute his retooled works, and my image is custom for my exact hardware configuration (i.e. Mini-Pac, button layout, coin door admin buttons, etc.) so it would need to be heavily reconfigured to your setup to properly benefit from having the actual image, i would be glad to share the theme if @ruckage allows, but probably not...
