Hello all, i'm working with darknior on the same project :) really happy to see him here :)

we have an little options absent on the meta data game editor can you on futur version add an "hide" option to hide for example in neo geo his bios file, this can be help in mame too for some game like moonwalker who need child + parent rom to work but dont want to see both trough the roms selection menu.

Thanks in advance about any answer

There are a lot of post in this forum explaining how to do that.

Thanks i don't see it before.
But it is not very cute :p ... an XML option is really easyer to use ;)
The only good solution on this page was to make a linux cmd script ... we will have the same problem on MAME, DOS, etc ... not really cool ...

For my question i found one page :

http://intensecode.blogspot.fr/2013/10/tutorial-vlc-with-hardware-acceleration.html

Step 4: how to run it with hardware acceleration enabled from command line:

./vlc --vout omxil_vout <other_params_you_might_need>

(Info: you absolutely have to use the
       param --vout omxil_vout for vlc
       to use the custom video output
       for raspberry!)

Maybe it can help ? I think it's an important issue to solve ....
To remove the "Green Glitch" on some videos and stop the pi "burning" without hardware acceleration :p

@Nismo I tried this on my Pi3 and got nothing :(

Nismo

@Scannigan What exactly you tried to do?

**Scannigan**

@Nismo adding a sound to system view on ES launch, I'm on a Pi 3, not sure if you're on a PC though, used the lines that Fieldofcows suggested, but nothing happens for me

Nismo

@Scannigan As far I know, @fieldofcows didn't add that feature to the master branch.

Would be very good if he add it because it's working very well on windows.

fieldofcows

@Nismo I've got a whole queue of things that need to be added but am holding back pending testing to make sure any changes are stable. Finding time to test myself is really difficult.

Rion

@fieldofcows That's why we are here 😉

**Scannigan**

I'm not the most tech savvy person but happy to help where/if I can! @fieldofcows vid preview is working like a dream, great work. @Nismo love your theme it's frigging awesome. I was struggling with WSOD on my Pi, however I discovered reducing image sizes to less than 50kb stopped that happening.

@__Scannigan__ I've got a fix for the WSOD too which is about to be submitted :D

@Nismo Wow what a incredibly awesome theme!!

1 quetions for you...

Not to be rude but would you mind sharing your psd files? :)

Thanks for your great work with oldroom and sharing it!!

@fieldofcows can't wait, especially if it means I can increase the size of images again, as the quality was lost getting them down

@Nismo on your sega32x theme background, what image pack did you use for your 3d box size? After I updated my gamelist file for that system I show a smaller 3d box with your larger 3d box in the background.

Of course no problem with that, but not all my images are on psd, some are pfi, i'll upload for you when I open the thread for the theme.

You still can download the theme again... what's the problem?

I'll open a thread for my theme in the right place of this forum, but unfortunatelly, i can't find time to do it. But when i can, i'll post links for all the art for the theme, so you don't need to worry about that, i'll post wheels, images, boxart, videos and all you need in the theme. Sorry for the delay but my live isn't a bed of roses lately...

Regards.

@Nismo wow many thanks for that!! 🎉

@Nismo Would you be able to share or post your UXS scraping profile? I'm trying to integrate your OldRoom MAME theme into my custom tronkyfran theme, but having some trouble doing so. My gamelist has <video></video> tags, but your stock OldRoom theme doesn't seem to be able to find or play them. The stock tronkyfran theme, however, can play videos (even though it's not designed for it), but the formatting of the theme becomes all messed up- just a white screen for a background and the text size and color is not as it should be.

Nismo

@MWGemini It's very strange starting with the point that a theme not designed to play videos you see video previews.

Second point it's more strange because nobody having problems with my theme except you, so it's very difficult to me to say what's the problem.

Only thing could be it's maybe your using and old theme version.

Try this one, it's the latest i uploaded: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vs3tr3sstrxud42/oldroom_1.8_720p.zip

Please give more details it's hard to me to understand what's the problem, it should work.

And no, I don't use UXS.

Regards.

@Nismo already got it ready to load :) @MWGemini, happy to test @fieldofcows recent build, however I'm an absolute novice, how would I go about downloading and installing the recent build on a Pi?
