[Theme] switchOS for Pegasus
-
Love this theme especially since it does submenus... But what "asset." are you using for the games thumbnails?
I've scraped from launchbox, ES, I've even added manually to the metadata.txt in the dirs but I can't figure out what asset you're using in the video. It auto generated the ones for Steam (whatever dir those images landed in) but not LB.
It looks like it's assets.logo over assets.screenshot?
-
@Darien Right yes it uses the clear logo and screenshot for the images. You may need to use a different scraper if ES isn't grabbing them. I don't have a pi set up so haven't been able to test on that specifically unfortunately. I thought ES scrapes those (definitely the screenshot at least) though no?
-
@AndersHP Right sorry I thought you meant PC. I haven't tried on the pi but someone did write a script to export for pegasus from LaunchBox that you should be able to just copy across to your pi set up with this method.
-
@PlayingKarrde shhh don't tell anyone I'm also using PC.
Since it didn't scrape LB I'm trying to get it to load the images manually. I'll add assets.clearlogo and assets.screenshot to my metadata.txt (which is working for other themes I'm just missing whatever asset you're calling in the qml) see if that fixes it.
-
@Darien Anyone out there doing MANUAL scraping like me from Emumovies or whatever It uses the Clear Logo and Screenshot-gameplay assets. I believe as assets.logo & assets.screenshot .. I'm setting this up from my desktop then copying to my HTPC. (you'd be surprised how much I hate launchbox)
-
@Darien Have you looked at this? https://pegasus-frontend.org/docs/user-guide/meta-assets/#example_2
screenshot and logo should be all you need for this theme. If it's set up with this folder structure you shouldn't need to add the assets to your metadata. Also make sure you have the correct sources set within Pegasus.

Hey, this looks so awesome. Is it possible to bring it to 4:3
-
@retroplayer have you tried it and it doesn't work? In theory it should work fine on 4:3 as well

@PlayingKarrde, love the theme and gameOS. I've been playing around with the Switch one to teach myself QML. I noticed that setting up a "Favorites" collection in Pegasus doesn't seem that straight forward using the base theme. I've been trying to do it in the switch theme using some of your gameOS code, but to no avail. Any chance you are planning to add this at some point?
-
@Shadly I don't have much of a plan to work on this theme a ton more but there are some outstanding features I do want to add as well as a few fixes and performance tweaks I learned while doing the redesign of gameOS so probably favorites will come in that set of changes. In short though I don't think it would be that difficult to add it to the theme but I'm not super sure when I'll get around to working on it.
-
@PlayingKarrde I have it set up, I just can't figure out how to properly call the Favorites and Last Played menus. I'm kind of fumbling around in the dark with Qt, but it is 90% functional. I'm sure you could probably recreate it, but if you would like what I've done, you are welcome to it.

Just posted an update:
v0.3
- Added proper support for variable aspect ratios without decreasing size. Now properly supports 4:3 aspect ratios and should look correct on smaller screens
- Added logos or collection text for missing eslogos
- Fixed issue with navigation audio
This should now work well on handhelds such as the Retroid Pocket 2.

Hi @PlayingKarrde is there a way to change loading screen when boot. And also is there a way to silent boot? Even when starting a game I got those command text. Is it possible? I using raspberry pi 3b+ latest version of Retropie.

Unfortunately that is more of a Pegasus question than on the theme side but I don't believe that is currently possible.

Ah nevermind. I started to look into forks and one of them is perfect. Basically the switchos theme but it supports boxart and a few other things.
