      But I agree with you both, delivering back to the Retropie branch should be the end goal. Its reassuring to see Buzz come around to that point of view.

      I don't think my view has really changed. I have been accepting PR for our ES for over a year. I still won't accept anything ofcourse - it depends what it is, how it is written/tested, and whether it is maintainable. (eg to avoid issues like we had after the directLaunch functionality).

      To add to the discussion above about feature branches etc - It would be one PR per added "functionality". I won't accept a PR with 20 new features and 10,000 lines of code changes that are impossible to review :)

      To help us help you - please make sure you read the sticky topics before posting - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

            Well, its work in progress right now, Just have some pictures of different
            perspectives of the room. I have lots of work to do yet, custom videos,
            images, etc...you know. The main problem is that I have to convert every
            video preview to my 3d perspective and its really time consuming.But in
            exchange I think it looks ok. Im not ready to show something yet but Ill be in
            two or three months, dont want to do the same that I did with the
            Background Images and get an incomplete set, so Ill wait till aI have snes
            with at least 100 videos converted or so and then you can give some
            feedback ;)
            Keep on your amazing work!!!!

                  SSH to Pi and execute the following commands:

                  # install packages
                  sudo apt-get update
                  sudo apt-get --yes install vim vlc libvlc-dev libvlc5
                  
                  # get and compile
                  git clone https://github.com/fieldofcows/EmulationStation.git
                  cd EmulationStation/
                  cmake . -DFREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/include/freetype2/
                  make clean
                  make
                  
                  # auto start video emulatorstation
                  sudo sed -i 's/\/.*emulationstation\.sh/\/home\/pi\/EmulationStation\/emulationstation\.sh/' /usr/bin/emulationstation

                    Well, I've spent whatever free time I've had sorting out my repository and splitting each 'feature' into a separate branch. That process isn't quite complete yet. I am going to submit some of the changes as PR's to the RetroPie fork and see what happens. I haven't had any feedback from anyone trying out the Pi build so maybe there's not that much interest - or everyone is waiting until it is in an 'official' build.

                    Once I've done that I'll get back to developing some more features and fixing some bugs.

                    Do you have a Windows version wishlist? I assume metadata fixes would be on top :)

                      @fieldofcows yes i've posted some wishes post ago... but i'll let you concentrate in your splitting process.

                      I was painting my house so not much time to work on theme.

                      I've finished gb theme and working on gbc theme, but i'll upload new theme version when more systems added.

                          New little update for oldroom theme:

                          • added Game boy system.
                          • added Game boy Color system. (I need better gbc image for this theme).
                          • Fixed detailed view.

                          Somebody have a Game boy Color and can make a photo holding it in his hand?

                          Now detailed view looks this way :

                          alt text

                          Download: http://www.mediafire.com/file/ur2k9sbp2ua6yn9/oldroom_1.7_720p.zip (Recommended for Rpi)

                          1080p version: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vvylrsgh8waqkkk/oldroom_1.7_1080p.zip

                          Sorry @fieldofcows this time i didn't have time to provide an 800x600 fix but i'll do soon.

                          I can't make work marquee on top of "rating" on detailed view, i'm not sure if can't be possible on detailed view or it's my fault.

                          Enjoy.

                            @Nismo @fieldofcows How hard would this be to implement for other themes for example to Pixels by @Rookervik ?

                            I mean you don't have to change much just an option to replace the picture with an video if that exists and if not just show the screenshot/boxart?

                            Or are there more underlying changes that have to be made?

                              @Rion i'ts not difficult.

                              You can show video and image at same time if you want, that's what i do in my theme, but instead use an screenshot for image i use boxart.

                              Maybe if @Rookervik give me permission i can take a look at the theme and adapt it for video support.

                              Or maybe he want to do it himself... who knows.

                                          Hello,

                                          I wrote a small test script. To create gamelist.xml for Video ES. Download 3D box art, marquee and videos from http://screenscraper.fr

                                          All systems of oldrom theme, are supported and FinalBurn Alpha.

                                          It still has many bugs. If anyone is interested ...

                                            @Nismo Pixel Video theme works pretty well, but for some reason I get a blue tinge on the videos - they are the same videos used in the oldroom theme, where they look okay and don't have the blue tinge.

                                            Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

                                            Thanks!
