      @fluffypillow there are similar issues on openblok at least as it pertains to the xbox360 controllers (haven't tested with my 8bitdo controller or handheld yet) as we've discussed in the past. I can open a ticket/ provide logs as needed. Just let me know which diagnostics you need

        QtCanvas3D looks pretty complex for me, I'm going to need some programmer partner for that part.
        Wink wink to anyone interested...

          @herb_fargus remind me again, did it work well with http://generalarcade.com/gamepadtool/?

          @tronkyfran yeah, that will need programming, but in theory, you can implement things like the examples here.

            I haven't tested using that. Since it's a gui it may not work on retropie as retropie doesn't use x. I remember you set up a diff sdl mapping tool I tried but I don't think we ever came up with anything conclusive

              @fluffypillow Daphne problem fixed. Thanks!
              Also, I did notice how much faster it is. ~4sec for ~1800 roms. I did notice my screenshots for the background and marquees are now gone..
              They're in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/downloaded_images/

                  By default it is:

                  pi@retropie:~ $ pwd
                  /home/pi

                      @Darksavior I've made an experimental build that should fix the problem, could you check it? It's here.

                        @fluffypillow That fixed the problem, thanks. Marquees and screenshot backgrounds are back.

                          How's the progress on the custom config files?

                            @halfmanhalfcake I've just finished the implementation - all that's left is to write some documentation and create a site for converting between the different file formats (eg. ES2 gamelist).

                                The structure of the site is mostly complete, and gamelist.xml -> metadata.txt conversion works too. I'll add the reverse direction and the systems support, then do a release.

                                  Sounds exciting. Does this mean the favorites button as well as the page up/down functionality is on the way also? :)

                                    @andershp Yeah, after this is done I can finally start working on all the smaller stuff I've promised to do way before.

                                          All right, the file format conversion page is done, next I'll update the docs and Pegasus itself.

                                            Just to let you know, the reason this got delayed so much is because I keep tweaking the file formats, like, fixing stuff that got annoying after lots of use or looked good before but ugly with real data. It's kind of an iterative process, but every time I do that, I update the implementation, the automatic tests, the converter site, the documentations, the default theme... but! I think it'll be finally done this week.
