Updated EmulationStation for Windows

[dukeblooders]

@f-caruso Hi,

I took a look at your theme, but unless I'm mistaken, it's not quite the same. Here's a screenshot of my theme : link

As you can see, there's a "list" of GD-roms, but it's static (it's integrated into the png background). In a general way, I find the system list too static in ES, a small dynamic images gallery can change that :)
(or even video(s), why not)

But, it's still a suggestion of course.

Oh, ok... You can also (almost) do it , using random playlist, see my theme (smallbox.xml or smallscreen.xml). Images are static but they change everytime.
Et sinon tu serais pas francais par hasard ?

@f-caruso
I did a few tests, and I think it could get the job done.
However, I have a few questions :

• Can we use a folder path for {random:} ? Or what game properties can be used ? I tried to add some properties in my gamelist, but I doesn't work.
• I saw a delay property for videos, can we use a similar property for images ?

(Suisse, mais je parle français ;-)

Hello, how are you? I wanted to ask you if you have any idea how, from the es_input.cfg file, to be able to transcribe the different emulators other than those of Retroarch. Because for example Cemu or PCSX2 have an INI file but the values ​​that go in the X and Y do not understand how to transcribe them. Do you know anything about the subject? Would you have an email where you can conttact you for these matters? Thank you!

@dukeblooders

Can we use a folder path for {random:} ? Or what game properties can be used ? I tried to add some properties in my gamelist, but I doesn't work.

No {random:image}, {random:thumbnail}, {random:marquee} only. It takes random scrapped resources only.

I saw a delay property for videos, can we use a similar property for images ?

No...

@maxiducoli

No. I tried to do that in a CEmu launcher written in c#.
But it's complex code, and it's very far from perfect.
I didn't try with pcsx2.

Also, you can find me on discord. The easiest one is Batocera's Discord...

[maxiducoli]

@f-caruso
In Pcsx2 Just copy a already configured xnput INI and works perfecto. The problem is dinput, cause change on diferents controllers

[dukeblooders]

@f-caruso
OK I managed to make it work, thanks.

[maxiducoli]

@f-caruso

Can you send me the source code of Cemu Launcher and maybe i could help or do some executable for ous.
i have Discord but i dont know how to use jja my user is maxiducoli too.

I see PCSX2 source and have a plugin named OnePAD. This plugin use gamecontrollerdb.txt and is like joysticks out the box of batocera or autoconfig of RetroArch. Can you compile this source for windows? Just the DLL. I can´t undertand too much of C++ and my HDD its only os 160GB and Visual Studio is too large for all my programs + Visual Studio Community. I can´t install for now.

See that.

@maxiducoli
What do you want me to do with all this ? It's not really related to ES.
Plus, it's not the good place for that kind of exchanges. Find me on Discord.
I can't see you on any server I'm in. Please, name servers you are in so I can find you.

[porterballs]

@f-caruso hi was just wondering if you will update the gamesdb scraper at some point, I want to use your screenscraper one but I cant choose to have only 2d boxes! Thanks

[f.caruso]

@porterballs said in Updated EmulationStation for Windows:

gamesdb

Done + Added ability to use Box as image for screenscraper. You can download the latest version.

[porterballs]

@f-caruso thank you much appreciated :)

[CarissaIsWierd]

@f-caruso I had arrows before (see here) that now show as question marks after the 'Unicode Strings' update :/

[f.caruso]

@CarissaIsWierd The version of your theme I have does'nt have all these options, so I can't test what you did...
EDIT : Found & fixed

[CarissaIsWierd]

@f-caruso Did you do something to the way "folderImage" & "gameImage" are displayed in the past month? If you check my theme I shared with you, folders and games without images show up like this, when before they used minSize like games with images do. Do I need to add something different to fix it?

[f.caruso]

@CarissaIsWierd Check the new release it should solve your case.

[PittStone]

@f-caruso @jdrassa Will it be possible to use animated Gifs for the Covers? Not only .png or .jpg. It would be Awesome to have a Animated Cover like this: Animated Cover

That's not a GIF, is a video file. You can add it as video in ES.
