This is occured infrequently and is likely some little bug. I've had it happen only 3 times and 2 were the first two times i was in the desktop and explorer. Only happened once in the last 40 or so times since. lol.

@cyperghost this is definitively a really good idea to consider for a new feature. I also have been thinking on something like this for controller battery display or other system messages such as "Wifi Connected" or "Controller Connected".

As you said, the most common"hack" for this is to use pngview and dispmanx layers to display stuff "on top" of emulationstation. This of course is not very elegant nor very flexible and requires an RPI. The idea you propose would be multiplatform, so definitively worth it.

@mitu's ideas are very good too. This idea should be put in a TO-DO list or such. I currently don't have much time but when I have (hopefully soon) I can def help programming ideas like this.

@wlbear said in Retropie in a jewellery box:

After building three bartop arcades I wanted something different and unique.

You certainly did that. Respect!

Hello.

Can you tell me what the size of the lunchbox is exactly ?

Found a (very) few here at Amazon Europe but there are from different sizes...

Thanks !

@tronkyfran Thanks a lot for the super detailed support !
I made a "powder coated" texture so at first I'll try with UV mapping the cartridge.

Yes, black (or white) background already considered for creation of transparent images to be used in ES themes.

Especially useful also your tips on environment and reflections: I have zero knowledge in that area.

Thanks again!

@celly that's actually the source of the image I linked, it's by far the best I've found but I also could not access the site on my phone. Hopeless it'll pull up on my desktop.

Of the few games I've clicked on :
