Neo Geo X Build

[XVO]

It's like a year and a half ago since I used retropie, but I will give it a try tonight.
I will let you know how it turns out.

it shows up but the capcom front end isnt showing up when i go it it shows the rom but wont read it can anyone throw a step by step on setting up the cps stuff i'm a moron loli cant figure it out

thanks in advance

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.

@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.

@ruckage

Hi!
Wonderful theme!!

Can this theme work under Recalbox?
Thank you very much!

@linuxarcadeguy

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

[edmaul69]

@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...

@LinuxArcadeGuy

i agree that is a pretty cool BAT joystick you created:-

@ruckage Any chance to convert these themes to Recalbox?
Thank you very much!

Hi Ruckage,

i just updated my ES version to V2.7.5RP & the latest Retroarch to 1.7.3
and noticed that the NeoGeo theme is slightly messed up (see pic below)

The number of players are now misaligned compared to before i ran the updates,

@stuart2773

Thanks, I'll take a look and update it - should just need a minor adjustment. Is this at 1080p?

@ruckage

ive managed to fix this myself,

for anyone else having the same issue edit the neo.xml
and change the last line of md_players to :-

<pos>0.8901041666666667 0.8825</pos>

@stuart2773
Quick question, are you using this in windows on the Rpi?

The reason I ask is because that weird offset was originally needed to make it align correctly on the pi as there was a discrepancy between the way windows and RPI displayed that particular element.

Also if you wan't to be exact (as I always do 😊 ) the correct value to align perfectly is:
<pos>0.8901041666666667 0.8814</pos>

[Stuart2773]

@ruckage

im using it on the Rpi, the original was <pos>0.8901041666666667 0.8855</pos> but after i updated the Rpi, the alignment was off so i edited the xml on windows to <pos>0.8901041666666667 0.8825</pos> and transfered it to the Rpi.

the 0.8825 was the most accurate i managed to get it on the Rpi after a few attempts.

@stuart2773
That's fine, I imagine then the rpi is now matching the behaviour in windows which is good so the values I provided above should be exact (I measure everything very carefully). I'll double check myself on the pi later today.
