        @clamcho hmm interesting, just to make sure, could you try uninstalling Pegasus and then installing the latest version? If that doesn't work, try setting it as the launcher in the settings menu (see the "restore the default launcher" part here).

          @fluffypillow problem solved sir, i change the ROM and change Home in the setting to pegasus but after restart it still use main launcher then i uninstall the main launcher via lucky patcher after restart it pop out , why i change the ROM ? because the first ROM after i uninstall the main launcher it became bootloop .
          one more thing shutdown and reboot make pegasus just quit app not doing shutdown and reboot .

            @clamcho Yes, most regular applications don't have the permission to shutdown or reboot the phone, I plan to remove those buttons from the Android version in the future.

              Weekly update! Just a few small things:

              • Minor updates to the main website
              • Updated the translation files as some texts were missing
              • Experimented with a theme for small screens (not complete yet!)

                Weekly update! There have been a large number of updates to the user guide and core development parts of the documentation. Pretty much all pages received some updates, especially the list of third-party apps support and the metadata related pages. With that done, next I'm planning to work on the theme development section.

                    There might be no updates this week due to real life issues.

                      Well I didn't plan to do a weekly update, but I ended up doing some fixes:

                      • The Flixnet theme got updated to work with the current Pegasus
                      • Fixed a bug where gamepad layout configurations of multiple gamepads weren't saved properly

                        Weekly update!

                        • Updated and in some parts rewrote the theme related documentation. All tutorials should now use up-to-date API calls. I've also split them into smaller and so perhaps more readable pages. There might be a few weird places with all the editing but otherwise should be readable.
                        • Fixed a build error on Arch Linux

                        With that all the documentation should be up to date now. I was planning to write some more pages and tutorials, but for me it's more time consuming than actual development, so I think I'll leave them to the holidays maybe.

                          Great frontend! Thank you for creating this. :) Is there a way to change the "Pegasus 0 Games found" screen that comes up when a game is exited or closed? Or just make it black?

                            @tekn0 You mean the loading screen? I think that's fine, it might take some time on certain systems so with it you still see something happening on the screen.

                              Also no updates this week due to lack of time :( I'm planning some theme updates for the next days though.

                                @fluffypillow It seems there are two different screens or values? When I first start the frontend I get the Pegasus loading screen and it finds 900 games and loads the theme.

                                Then when I start and play a game. After I exit that game (in retropie it's select+start) I get the pegasus logo screen again that stays there for about 6 seconds and says "0 games found" then goes back to the theme.

                                  @tekn0 Ah I see, yes, the numbers there might be incorrect; that screen is merely waiting for the UI to be ready.

                                    @fluffypillow Yeps that's the one. Is there a way to change that screen or make it black by chance? Or, change the text to read "returning to pegasus launcher" or just black it out completely?

                                    I have some custom autostart.sh code I use to remove all of the term text. This keeps the game launching very clean with no rom launch or yellow error text. I was hoping there might be a quick way to null that return screen as well when it shows 0 roms.

                                      Weekly update!

                                      • Fixed games provided by EmulationStation not having launch commands in some cases
                                      • Fixed the loading progress bar's width behaving incorrectly
                                      • Fixed the loading bar showing "0 games found" when returning from a game (< @tekn0). The loading consists of loading the game list and loading the UI; there is now no text displayed while only the UI is loading, eg. when returning from a game. Ideally the UI loads faster than the game list, but on some systems this can take surprisingly long time (eg. Windows). Will see if this needs more improvements.
                                      • Main theme improvements
                                        • The release year and number of players (for multiplayer games) is now displayed
                                        • There is now a placeholder text for collections that have no logo
                                        • There is now a little heart next to favorite games
                                        • Added fade in animations for background and videos
                                        • Fixed game images overlapping each other
                                        • Improved layout calculations, ie. mixed portrait/landscape images should now look better together
                                        • Fixed a bug where the selection got stuck on the very first item, on certain systems with certain gamepads. This will probaly need some additional work in Pegasus itself too, but the situation is now highly improved
                                      • Updated the Flixnet heme
                                        • Fixed collections with not too many games getting unaligned
                                        • Fixed missing release years
                                        • Fixed screenshots not getting scaled up on larger resolutions

                                          @NeoBi I think it should be possible, yes; according to its docs you might be able to run the script directly, or as a parameter to AutoHotkey.exe, or by converting the script to a standalone exe too.
