PICO-8: Retroarch lr-retro8 core installation script

This is what happens when I try to load emulationstation on Windows.

So I guess something about how the Windows version draws SVGs is messed up.

@benmclean

Can you share your controller.svg ?
Let me see how it looks on Linux.

I tried it on RetroPie and it looks correct on there. Just not on Windows. Weird.

@benmclean

Not sure what the problem is.

I had a look at the system.svg .
I can pop out all objects so it seems to be a pure .svg .
Nevertheless vector images and inkscape can be a pain.

Are the other systems looking good on windows ?

The Windows version I set up only had SEGA Genesis and Super Mario War which looked OK.

@benmclean are you running retropie on windows or is it just emulationstation ?

It was just the emulationstation portable build for Windows provided in the tutorial of how to make your own themes.

The hold-up at this point is the controller.svg. I'm going to try a few different things to decide what looks best before submitting the PR.

I might also want to do TIC-80 and LowRes NX soon-ish.

@benmclean lr-tic80 has now been merged to Retropie-Setup so having a TIC-80 icon would be great! TIC-80 already has icons in the Cygnus Blue Flames theme, so it'd be good to have on Carbon as well.

Folly

PICO-8 has been merged too ;-)

@dmmarti can you add this information in your first post ?

Lowres-nx should be the next one.

BenMcLean

I'll try to get to this soon!

BenMcLean

I made the PR for Pico8

Some quick notes: I got in touch with the LowRes NX guy via email to get his vector artwork and also have discovered that TIC-80 uses this font.

@benmclean

Cool !

I'm doing TIC-80 before LowRes NX because it's going to be easier.

Like with Pico8, I'm using the default color palette for TIC-80 carts on the logo and I'm changing it to add a border so that it will have sufficient contrast to be readable against any background. But I'm conflicted on how thick the border on the TIC-80 should be.
Do you prefer system.svg

or system2.svg?

The TIC-80 controller.svg was pretty easy:
