    @flyingtomahawk nope. I love all my roms. :) plus i dont scrape so i dont parse gamelists. So i just wait patiently for it to boot. Plus i boot roms off of hard drive so not sure if that makes a difference in load times.

      I especially prepared everything for this theme.
      I have 135 neogeo games, 81 cps games, 24 fba games and maybe max. 50 games for megadrive, snes and nes. The long black screen at the begining of my video is because of the WiFi dhcp thing loading. Deactivating WiFi would load it even faster.

      I also use the es_system file changer by tmnt which helps me separate the systems and therefore reduce loading times.

Thanks for understanding.

                  Oh you meant the game videos inside the system not the splashscreen video at the beginning. Sorry my bad.

                    @tmntturtlguy i completely understand, also dont like how this forum works, am more familiar with a different forum setup and posting layout, more cleaner, as this is a bit of a chaotic format, but my post was directly attributed to this theme, am not sure where the theme wants the videos, and also cant get the scraped gamelist.xml to work with it...

                      @linuxarcadeguy I understand, however your questions have nothing to do with the theme. The theme works fine, it is not necessarily made for video, but video will work in it just like any other theme. The gamelist also does not need to be any different than any other theme. Please open a new thread with more information on your setup and your issue and we can help you there.

                        Hi.

                        As @TMNTturtlguy said this isn't a theme issue, the theme has no control over that. It's most likely a gamelist issue - either it's pointing to an incorrect directory for the videos or it's possible there could be a duplicate gamelist.xml somewhere which is overriding the one you've created (I'm sure there is a separate gamelist directory, try checking there ).

                        The theme should work with video (it's actually the only view it supports) though I only use it with screenshots myself. You have to use the default video player though as the OMX player doesn't support the z-index - depending on your video resolution this may cause overheating/slowdown as it isn't hardware accelerated.

                        If you're still stuck regarding the gamelist and videos not showing then as @TMNTturtlguy said you may get more help if you open a topic in the help section as more people are likely to see it.

                          Actually I've just had a thought - aren't you trying to use this theme on a 4x3 display? If that's the case then it could be that the videos are being displayed behind everything else so you won't see them. This is simply because the theme is designed for a 16x9 display so you'll just have to wait until I make a 4x3 version. If however you can see the preview screenshots then something else is the cause.

                              check theses 2 posts above by @skj they should help you

                              https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/10806/neo-geo-x-build/208

                              put your neo geo roms in the neogeo folder
                              and the capcom roms in the fba folder

                              then just edit the:- es_systems.cfg as in the other link, and it scrapes perfectly.

                                I don't think there is one, as I said earlier in thread you will need to scrape the images for your roms, including marquees and then replace the downloaded marquees with the ones I've provided.

                                A little help if possible...

                                2.I have capcom games also in the neogeo folder however Im only getting the neo geo option system selector option on the theme. How do I see the capcom screen?

                                If you have them all in the neogeo folder then only the neogeo system will show - you need to setup a capcom system and place the capcom games in there own folder.

                                An easier alternative for you may be to go into the neogeo theme folder - you will see a folder named capcom - rename this to fba. Then go to your roms folder and place your roms in the fba folder.

                                3.Also once i select the neo geo system the images on the next page of the theme to choose a game aren't displaying.

                                I don't know what you mean by this - what images aren't displayed? The previews?

                                  Do you still have those 2 shaders that you showed in post 53?

                                  https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/10806/neo-geo-x-build/53

                                  If yes can you share them please?
                                  Or what shader would you recommend to get that classic look?

                                      Didn't make up my mind yet. Therefore, only if possible, I would like to have both versions, with and without the borders to compare.

                                      With border is good.

                                      Thanks.

                                        Ive found some marquees that are missing from you cps/neogeo build that are pretty much ready to go, all they need is the drop shadow adding.

                                        ive uploaded them for you, should you wish to use them for your build.
