@mitu thats how I had it previously. It must be something else. But not a big deal everything still works. Great system retropie. Thanks Sim

@chicuelo Thank you! Your Dark the is brilliant by the way, thanks so much for making it available for us all! I made one tiny change - swapped the Amiga character art for one I made by editing the box art for Putty (I used to love that game!): Thanks again, and I look forward to seeing whatever you might do next! 😊 Mark

@mitu Yes all over covers are great it's very unusual. It doesn't matter its only just the one cover it was 2 previously the other one seemed to get fixed by deleting the entry in gamelist and making it again but same thing not working with this one. It shows correct in a different gamelist view which is strange. Thanks Sim PS similar behaviour happens when I goto add a game to favourites I see the artwork squashed but it goes back to normal straight after

Besides posting them here, I guess for bezels you can try creating a repository similar to @UDb23's one and submit it to @meleu's rpie-art.sh script so it can be installed by users (see https://github.com/meleu/rpie-art). For boxart, maybe adding them to a scraping site directly (i.e. ScreenScraper.fr or MobyGames) in addition to posting them here. If you want to use forum, create a topic for your artwork (or 2 for each type of artworks) and update them periodically in case you add new stuff.

I think that has to be one of the hardest games ever...

The long awaited new overlays are here ! Awaited ? I think not by many people. But for who like them, here they are. Last time I have talked about "Adventure" games. The word was not very accurate. I think "Fantasy" is better. So, let's go for a little bit of fantasy : Cadash (Taito): Dragon Breed (Irem): Rastan (Taito): I don't know if I will choose a theme for next time. But I will try to post it soon. So stay tuned, and keep yourself safe.

Fixed it, I simply updated lr-mame2003 in retropie setup. Many thanks for your help.

Here's a link to the shared backdrop worksheet that I created: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IrWY23hIjK30ND-7ZTsxeR5b4wsHhKSA0pfb3CSRlJY/edit?usp=sharing

This appears to be working for the artwork. If installed through RetroPie, first create symbolic link: sudo ln -s /opt/retropie/supplementary/skyscraper/Skyscraper /usr/local/bin/Skyscraper Command line example for SNES in the USA region with use with EmulationStation: Skyscraper -p snes -s screenscraper -u username:password --unattend --nohints --region us Command line options /retropie/configs/all/skyscraper/config.ini Config.ini options Config.ini region options EDIT: After the artwork is downloaded i was able to generate gamelist.xml.

@sirhenrythe5th Carbon supports video. As far as I know, the only grid enabled themes are @ruckage's Pandora and Neogeo mini themes, which are not in the RP list of installable themes (specifically because they only support the grid view).

Every thing must end one day. Today is the end. Here are my 3 last overlays. Do not worry, it's just before holydays. I will come back at the end of august or beginning of september. Perhaps, if I have time, I will release one or two small things during this month to keep you awake. But do not expect too much. Today, I give you three overlays for three classics. Some are more famous than other, but they are all a part of my gaming history. Let's go : Mappy (Namco): Popeye (Nintendo): And of course "The Classic" Mario Bros (Nintendo): As everytime, all this stuff is available here, in my reporistory or in the @meleu rpie-art script. Now I will relax a little bit and prepare the next season. I wish happy holydays to every one and hope to see you again in a little bit more than a month.

@grant2258 - Thanks for the information. I've been spending some time messing around with the the options and thing make sense now. I think this core is complete for me, game wise. I've added all the games that I remember or have been suggested as good play. The only games I add now really are what you and Arcadez implement or new backdrops, then I'll add that game too. :)

Doesn't matter, I worked it out. I had the <folder> tag placed in the wrong place. Regards,

Yes, I figured out about nesting layers, so I got the alignment working. I couldn't get the resizing of the wheel.png to work the way I wanted, so I just adjusted the 'box' so that it worked for the tallest wheel.png when they were all adjusted by width. It's not totally perfect but with such a variance in wheel.png sizes and shapes I think it looks pretty uniform. Now to run it on all the other systems and hope it comes out OK. Edit: Just tweaked the box so rather than having its own border in the png it just uses the stroke feature to match the border on the screen shot. Not thrilled with the banding that gets introduced with skyscraper.

Beautiful graphics! Thanks!

@mitu Thanks for that. It worked perfectly. It is actually great news that the boxart splash screen is a separate location and separate file. It means I can create a specific "help" splash screen with the boxart and button mappings so that when I start a game it reminds me how to play the game.

I guess the fbi (image viewer) used to display the .png file does not support transparency ? Ahh ok, that makes sense. It seems it defaults to a gray background. I wonder if there's a way to either have it default to a black background OR make the side bezels match the gray background i'm getting from the .png
