      @pjft I noticed this too, but wasn't sure if it was me or not. Thanks for the clarification. I also prefer the previous behaviour as they seem to zoom a bit much imho (at least on carbon). Minor thing though.

          slide is much better than fade

            @DarkWolf @dankcushions I wouldn't mind slide so much if it weren't for the awful (to my liking) zooming effect when launching games.

            But is this zoomed logo thing only noticeable in fade, though?

              @pjft The fade effect only appears with the slide setting...
              Fade only has fading, no zooming

                  @DarkWolf I'm not sure that's correct, unless we're referring to the same thing by different names.

                  "Fade" will fade in and out when we transition between system -> gameList, and from gameList to game.
                  "Slide" will have the fancy sliding different elements when moving between systems on the systemView, but when launching a game it will zoom in on center, fade out, launch game, and come back.

                  @BuZz -> Thanks for filing it. Subscribed.

                      @DarkWolf Sorry - just wanted to make sure we were saying the same thing or if I was missing something (which wouldn't surprise me at all! ) :)

                        @pjft i believe that prior to video preview support, the zoom effect on the slide transition actually zoomed in on the "md_image". This was actually pretty cool in my opinion. Once video support was added the zoom started to zoom to the center of the screen. To test this, simply set up a system with only "md_image" are and no video. As long as no videos are present in that entire gamelist, you should zoom into the image. This is the case on my builds since i started, i assume that you will experience the same thing? Let me know.

                        Edit: i guess I am talking about just a detailed view, the zoom should zoom on the image in a detailed view, it does not work properly on a video view.

                          @TMNTturtlguy I already noticed that and it is kinda sad. It would be much better if it zooms in to the video as there would be a picture

                              The weird thing is that the original creator of Carbon (Rookervik) hasn't fixed the logo size. It kind of bugs me because I'm used to it being normal. I think the fix for the PSX controller should be either updating RetroArch, or trying to press a button while loading the game.

                                I think there's a little dust on the top of the tv box ;)

                                  @nasp2000 said in RetroPie themes zooming in logos?:

                                  What do you exactly mean, the Raspberry Pi, or the TV box? Look, my PS3 controller runs through Bluetooth, and sometimes when I restart, RetroPie goes to the previous state. This also happens when you disconnect the Pi while it's on. And that's happened a few times where the Select+Start buttons would refuse to work and desperate measures call for desperate times. Do I need to re-install the image?

                                    @TMNTturtlguy so did it break for the detailed view, or are you saying that it is not implemented correctly for the video view?

                                      Ok, so I've figured out what is going on. So, the problem is that some PSX roms (the ones that are affected are Crash Bandicoot 1, PaRappa the Rapper) but games like Crash Team Racing and Net Yaroze Collection do seem to work with the controller. The files are definitely in there correctly, Bin and Cue files, and a few PBP files, but these files seem to be the only ones affected. Do I need to re-install these ROMs, because that'd be annoying.

                                      EDIT: I'm gonna update my PSX emulator as while taking it out may have fiddled with the settings and ruined controller settings. It does work for specific ROMS, which is kind of weird, and might not be with the emulator, but I'm gonna go check if RetroArch is messing up some controllers. I love RetroPie, but there are loads of problems with the system, which I hope are ironed out in the next updates.

                                        @pjft On my current setup which is running your ES Build, if i have a system without videos, like PSP and i am in slide, I zoom into the game image. If i am in NES where i have video i zoom into the middle. I believe this is also the case on the main ES. I will have to check later, I can't get on my pi right now though. To answer your question, i think the video view does not work correctly.

                                          @TMNTturtlguy it will be, then, as there's no changes there.

                                          I suspect it'll be hard to zoom in on the video, at least the OMX player one. I'll see, though. One more thing for the backlog, but no promises.

                                          Edit: fixed typos over the phone.
