@jimmyfromthebay ,

They are different sizes:

@mitu THIS WORKED!! THANKS!!!

Man, i love the concept. I'd like to have his Theme, too.

Try this.

It's similar, but I don't think it's the right one. You can see the graphic for Favorites is different. (The one in the NFC video has a Donkey Kong Country font for Favorites, whereas the github screenshot shows a Zelda type of graphic for favorites.) I installed your recommended theme, but it appear to be totally broken for me. (This may be due to my 4:3 screen. About to test on widescreen setup.)

The part of the theme that grabbed my attention was the CRT tv image in the game list. My OrangePi has a similar kind of theme and I like it very much.

EDIT - YEah, it's definitely not the same. I got it running properly and can see for sure. The System list is very similar, but the game lists are completely different. Thanks for trying, @mitu

@cyperghost You mean like this?

SFC Pi

@buzz Updated setup script and vice from binary; xvic now launched correctly with specific parameters. Also edited emulators.cfg for expanded as suggested.

Runcommand.log is here.
It shows some errors, probably just minor as cartridges seem to work perfectly.

Thanks for the fix ! Really appreciated.

@nounours You'll be looking for continuity from the traces on the cart pcb. You'll also have to desolder chips or remove them from the circuit by scratching out the traces or they'll interfere. You need a clear trace or the USB stick will be hard to read.

Look at the pic of my cart. Traces go from the front of the cart to the back and to the front again. Try and find the 4 shortest traces for less interference. Thats what the multimeter will do to make your life easier. If it beeps from one end to the other then it should work.

There are solder points very near to the cart pins too. You can use those but you must use the same pins for all the carts, of course. Depending on the cart, those might be the best to use. Here is an example. 4 short traces. Then the traces are scratched out from the back out so they're cut off from the rest of the circuit for less interefence.

Well done man, well one.

@smartroad agreed! But the lowest 8 bits of the address don't even flash... Just a blur like PWM dimming ;) and I haven't even sped it up to the max throughput yet!

@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!
