      I guess only sdl2 stuff can read it.

      SDL2 doesn't read anything, it's just not doing any mode settting to another video mode (by default) when initializing the KMSDRM video backend.

        It's been a while, about time to have a weekly update! So during the holidays I've started experimenting with a new tool, and I think it might be usable enought for a release.

        In short, the script can convert all ES themes into Pegasus themes.

        Now this thread is quite large already, so for more details look into this thread.

        In other news, this week I've fixed a possible crash caused by having too many themes :)

          Weekly update!

          • Added Chinese translation (thanks @MephistoSatanDevil)
          • Updated the Portuguese translation (should have done this sooner)
          • Fixed a bug where in certain cases if the theme path was manually edited in settings file, Pegasus couldn't find a theme there
          • Minor logging improvements

            Hello I really like this front end and I'm experimenting with it. Currently I have set it up all portable on Windows and it works fine. The only problem i found was that a favorite game will saved full path including drive so that doesn't work if you used portable liked me.

            I hope I have explained good English is not my native language.

              @Rakoda Ok, this should be fixed now in the latest release. Thanks for the report!

                Are "Filters" not showing Favorites anymore?
                Being on an arcade build, I cannot use the Filters for searching (would require hooking a keyboard to the build) so I always used it to toggle Favorites. How do I toggle Favorites on/off then?

                  Another question: is it possible to change the Favorite heart icon into something else?

                      @AndersHP Ah yes that broke in one of the earlier updates and got disabled. I've just fixed this and re-added it in the latest release.

                      is it possible to change the Favorite heart icon into something else?

                      Yes, if you download the main theme you can replace the icons, they are located here.

                        Hi @fluffypillow
                        First this is an awesome front-end, very flexible and fast!

                        Can we have an option like ES to not display the loading screen (--no-splash arg on ES) ? Is this also possible to remove the Pegasus screen when exiting a game?

                        Eventually, can we have a loading screen when launching a game (like the launching.png in ES)?

                        Thank you for this nice app ;)

                          Loading screen is not part of EmulationStation, but runcommand. If you use it to run your games (from Pegasus), you'd still be able to have launching images.

                            aah very nice ! I'm still new and learning how components work with each other! Thank you for your answer ;)

                              I'm having issues launching a splashvid at bootup, explained here.

                              Don't know if it's related to Pegasus, but I thought since I can get the video playing by entering a commandline, maybe I could disable normal splashscreens and edit something in the pegasus code, to get the video played there instead?

                                @AndersHP well it's technically possible but involves partially rewriting the UI layout and recompiling Pegasus, which might be more troublesome than the original problem :)

                                  Also no updates this week due to lack of time unfortunately. There were a few improvements right after the previous update though, so for the sake of completeness:

                                  • Fixed favorite paths storing absolute paths even in portable mode
                                  • Main theme: favorite and multiplayer filters work again
                                  • Main theme: fixed game boxes getting resized when filtering
                                  • Minor bugfixes

                                    Hi @fluffypillow
                                    In the new update, Pegasus will upon reboot remember the last played game.

                                    Is it possible to just remember the last played game when exiting a game (so one can continue from there) but reset this at reboot / shutdown?

                                    It's nice to have the frontend start over at reboot, I think.

                                      @AndersHP no, but instead you can remove $HOME/.config/pegasus-frontend/theme_settings/pegasus-theme-grid.json at boot or before shutdown, which will also reset the last played game.

                                        So there havent't been too many updates recently; the reason for that is I'm working on a small, short term side project (yea I have far too many of them), but development continues as soon as that's complete, most likely in the next month.

                                          Is there any way of brightening up the dark look of Pegasus, e.g. by changing the black background to white, perhaps? Or will this result in antialiasing "borders"?

                                            @AndersHP you mean the main menus? Sure, I think a light theme could be added for it eventually.
