@hiulit you can't make edits while es is running.
If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

And why not create a fork of Pixel with 8 bit NES like selection / cursor movement sounds? Pixel sounds maybe?
-
@sergioad Editing it with sounds is fine. But most users complain about whatever sound you choose. So I chose not to have sounds in the theme. It's better than getting 150 comments saying "This sound is annoying. Change it." lol.
-
Well... That is true, pardon me 😁
-
@herb_fargus Oh, ok! I'll try again then. :)
Can you tell if I'm editing the right file/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/gamelist.xml
Thanks! -
Hi, ive seen a version of this on your tube that when you select a game, the screen zooms into the box art or screenshot thats being shown top right.
how did they do that?
-
@a7mag3ddon Change the Emulation Station setting from fade to zoom under the UI section.
-
hah really? that simple :-)
thanks!

Some guy on youtube seems to have managed to run this theme in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Any idea how he did this? Is this related to the theme, or is this a Raspberry Pi setting?
-
All themes will run in whatever resolution your system is set to. Since his is set to a CRT Television, it's 4:3 and the themes are displayed at 4:3.
-
@Rookervik Ok, but do you know how to set the resolution to 4:3, then? There's three of us trying to find a solution in this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5856/component-out-to-4-3-crt-via-3-5mm-jack
-
@felleg The Pi automatically sets itself to 4:3 when it boots and a TV is hooked up to the RCA cables. If you're on a HDMI TV trying to get into a 4:3 resolution you can do it by messing with the config.txt. But it's kind of silly to do that on a widescreen TV.
config.txt video modes: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md

@Rookervik Maybe it would be best to continue in the thread I linked instead of derailing this theme thread, but I'm not so sure the Pi boots in 4:3 when using the 3.5mm AV cables. I sadly don't have my monitor around to take a picture, but just to give an idea, it feels like emulationstation is displayed in 16:9 (even on the CRT) and the games are in 4:3.
That means the games look fine, but the menu gets cutoff
I can try to mess around with the overscan so that I can see the whole menu, but then the picture of the games get squeezed horizontally. -
That did work but it zooms into centre of screen and not into the top right corner.

Oh I think it's doing it now.

Hey guys,
I added a set of SG-1000 roms, but can't see them. Is it on this theme systems ?
Amazing theme BTW. Thank you!
-
@Rookervik can I modify your theme to make it compatible with video support (ES @fieldofcows fork) and upload here for you so you can add that version in your first post?
-
@Nismo That sounds fine. Thanks for asking. There are too many forks of ES right now, so I wouldn't be able to convert every theme for every fork available. Especially since I screw up my copy of RetroPie so easily. I'd never be able to install a different ES without totally botching my setup. :D
-
Pixel supports sg-1000. You probably need to install an emulator for that system. RetroPie has been stripped down to only the most popular systems. The rest you must install separately.
-
@Rookervik I have no problems with systems because i use windows... XD
So you mean that I have your permission to upload here a version compatible with ES video?
