      @meleu said in Useful topics catalog:

      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/post/126 - @lilbud splashscreens. If you ask humbly, maybe he can make a splashscreen for that game you love.

      Since I have free time now...If you want a splashscreen, ask away.

      Also, my splashscreen post is the earliest post listed up above and I take pride in that.

        Added a link to the "official unofficial RetroPie torrent" topic.

        @Global-Moderators any chance to get this topic here sticky (if you find it useful)?

          How about a Tools section? Like UXS, Gengal and the Retropie Metadata Editor. I'm on my tablet right now but I can post links tomorrow if needed/wanted.

              Curating all these highly useful links into one thread is a great idea. Making it a sticky also seems appropriate, but if the 'forum rules' and 'read this first' threads are any indication, it sadly wouldn't guarantee that most people still wouldn't ignore it outright. I'm all for it personally, but let's hear what the rest of the jalapeño jar has to say. If the aesthetics around here were up to me alone, I would have already hung up all my Joe Don Baker posters by now.

                @mediamogul jalapeño jar? Joe Don Baker posters? I think it's that smile-and-nod time!

                Just kidding! I think I got what you mean, let's wait. :-)

                Cheers!

                      • Universal XML Scraper (Windows) - Scraper which can create Mix images.
                      • Retropie Metadata Editor (Windows) - GUI to edit gamelist.xml files.

                            This topic should be pinned, really good one.

                              I second this! Great list! It would be great to have this pinned and updated periodically.

                              @meleu you should add that list of mac specific programs thread to the list also, that was useful for us mac users

                                Yep. This is my intention.

                                I'll add the other links this evening.

                                Thanks.

                                    Just when I thought my tinkering was done, I find three things on here I will be implementing tonight. Great post, I second the sticky! Very excited to try out the automatic image launching.

                                      This obviously couldn't be done too often, but the thread is indeed highly useful and appears to be well received without any objection from other mods or admins, so let's stick a pin in it, as the old saying goes.
