Issues with retroarch menu sizing in 240p
-
Which menu is that you're showing? I don't remember seeing that one. Or maybe its just you theme. (which incidentally, I like that theme, how do I get it? :) )
Ok. I will take a photo and try changing those settings when I get home
If it helps to explain, what I mean by the launch menu is what happens after you press the "a" key and it gives you the options to change cores or edit configs, etc. This menu is squished super tight and the text is tiny. It is grey and blue and looks like the raspi-config menu.
However, if I am launching a game for the first time, when it asks me to choose a core, the menu looks fine, it's only after I choose the core and (I'm assuming) it hands over control to retroarch, that the problem starts.The other problem is in-game, which is the blue retroarch overlay. By this I mean what happens when you press "select+x". However, in this menu, it's impossibly stretched out. (rather than squished like the other menu)
Both issues happen after the point a rom is actually in retroarch territory (i think).

That's a RGUI theme, that will be available in the 1.7.7 version of RetroArch, which is not yet integrated in RetroPie.

That's the Runcommand launch menu - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/.

That's the RGUI (RetroArch menu driver), which is what the screenshot shows.

Thanks.

That means I can't adjust it because it's one of the two menus that are graphically unusable. Unless this is the Retroarch menu that is accessed not in-game, but by actually launching Retroarch?
If it's the latter, I can get into that menu, but it seems like the changes in that menu are independent of Retropie as it's assuming retroarch defaults that are not aware of retropie. Forgive me, but I find all the meta-layers of the setup to be a bit mind-bending. :/

It's the same interface, but one is started in-game, while the latter is started standalone, for you to change settings for all emulator cores. Check the options I mentioned in the 'standalone' RGUI that you start from the RetroPie system.

@mitu Okay. Thanks. How do I get the "brogrammer" menu color theme on retroarch? I want to try it on my PC.
-
@vol-2 Just download the RetroArch 1.7.7 release and it should be available in the menu I posted.
You can read about all the improvements RGUI got in the new release on the libretro.com site https://www.libretro.com/index.php/retroarch-1-7-7-ui-updates/ -
@mitu Weird, I don't see that one specifically. There is a folder called rgui with some choices in it, but I just wanted that one you showed because it's so simple. Was it just in your rgui folder ?

I think it's nothing. The theme is actually a color combination which is part of the code. There are separate RGUI themes which can downloaded through the online updater, but they're different than what I have chosen. Are you sure you're running the 1.7.7 RetroArch version ?
-
@mitu Yup. Freshly downloaded. I updated everything I could think of and restarted. Just isn't there. I have a bunch to go through, but not that one.
-
@vol-2 That's weird - you can see the options in the post I mentioned, from the Libretro site.
-
@mitu the options are there. i just don't have "brogrammer" as a choice.

If anyone cares, I removed 1.7.7 and put it back on and brogrammer was there.

@mitu Saw some feedback on it in my searches..Thanks for confirming...
