Ability to display string representation of date month?
-
As far as my research goes with the github documentation and this thread (https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3710/ability-to-just-show-year-for-release-date/7), datetime can only be displayed in integers. Are there any workarounds to make us able to display a month to its string representation? Any leads and help are much appreciated.

I don't think there's any workaround possible at the moment - the DateTime component can only be formatted with numeric representations for day/month/year.

@mitu Thank you for the response. Too bad there's no such option, hope there'll be such option in future updates.

@jakong008 EmulationStation learned recently to use
strftime[1] compatible format string to represent the date, which allows you to use the month name (short/long) when displaying a date.
You'll need to get the current
-devrelease in order to use this.
