@quicksilver Oh wow. Thank you! I wasn't sure what to search for but this fixed my problem. Specifically this post: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/21568/dialog-boxes-contain-x-s-and-q-s-instead-of-shading/40

@Darkrx8 So the socket was something like so: URBEST Inlet Module Plug 5A Fuse Switch Male Power Socket 10A 250V 3 Pin IEC320 C14 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ME5YAPK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_gpZcCbSJSXWX8 Also, how exactly did you do up the wiring to the power strip in order for the built in button to be a master switch?

@meleu @cyperghost The export did the trick. It works now and doesn't break the other menu controls. 😄 Thank you for all the effort and explanations. I learned a lot today, as may others who stumble upon this thread, too. I edited my opening post to a mere reference to @meleu's solution. 😌

"Friends" The One Where Joey Dates Rachel (2002) Phoebe gives Chandler and Monica a late wedding present: the game Ms Pac-Man. After Chandler fills the Ms. Pac-man machine with some very rude initials, Phoebe tries to beat all of his top scores before Ben comes over and sees them... It doesn't quite go as planned.

@dubiousengineer Thanks, I very much appreciate that. 😊 But don't be fooled about its apparent professionalism, the pictures' resolution isn't high enough to show the many little flaws and compromises I had to make. E.g. I couldn't avoid small wrinkles in the foil at the sharp outer corners – but they're not so bad that I have to cover them with the usual moulding. I don't want to enter a "you certainly did a better job than me, sir" argument, but nevertheless, you put much more actual craftsmanship into your build, whereas I used a DIY kit, even if a "raw" one without artwork and electronics. But okay, in the light of my very limited crafting abilities I do take the liberty to be a little bit happy and proud about the outcome. 😌 Watching your last video made me admire your work … again. You don't seem to have one of those big workshops with buzz saws etc. that many prominent arcade builders have, yet you make the best of your tools and materials. I also liked how you improvised after drilling an oversized hole (man, I had the sincerest sympathies watching it). I have only one gripe about your videos: stop drinking tasty-looking beer! It always makes me thirst for my own. 😄 edit: I forgot a word. sigh

A friend recommended Trog to me yesterday. Seems like a kid-friendly game, if you don't mind the mild violence (battering the cavemen*). It supports up to four players simultanously. *edit: Oh, and you actually eat the cavemen later in the game, 😇 as you can see at 17:50 in the video.

@arturgomes I love how janky it is

The /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation is actually the same folder as /home/pi/.emulationstation, the latter being a symlink to the former. Emulationstation reads the custom file in /home/pi/.emulationstation, then - if the 1st doesn't exist - the default one /etc/emulationstation/es_systems.cfg (installed and maintained by the RetroPie setup script). I never got any upgrade to ever write a custom ES systems file in that folder, but I'm only using RetroPie since 4.2.0 - so it might have been a problem in the past.

@shareef Thanks for sharing your solution.

@jonnykesh said in "Golden age" console hit parade?: @meleu Is it still massively expensive to import foreign electronics to Brasil? I have read and watched documentaries about the taxes that were placed on foreign imports. I'm sure that has opened up but there will always be a legacy of that policy. I think it's not as much as it was in the 80s-90s. But it still has some taxes. Not sure how it worked before but now the taxes are applied by sampling. Then it can be a matter of luck. :-) I bought some gadgets from other countries and it wasn't that expensive (some of them weren't taxed), such as: 8bitdo NES30, SNES30, Zero, GPD XD...

@rulmismo Yeah, the screw terminals hanging out from the wall plug have gaps around them, open/electrified screws exposed so someone with a tool in hand might be able to electrocute themselves. One step better would be to use an extension cord, keeping the female end. Plug your DC adapter into it instead of the screw terminals, then use the length of cord to replace your black and blue wires, cutting the extension cord when it reaches your plug on the right side and re-solder. At least this would put the dangerous part only on the right side which you could protect again with heat shrink like you have now, and you could even glue a little a thin box around it so it can't accidentally get pulled and touched. That's kinda what I did with my cabinet. I glued some thin wood around the point where the AC comes into my cabinet and made a little box around it. My internal high-voltage power is just the end of an extension cord inside my cabinet.

@melvin-fox Appreciate the encouragement. I've had to reconsider the design and features of the enclosure as I was relying on somebody else to build it and now am unsure on when or if this will happen anytime soon. Using an arcade stick with the Pi was the priority so for now, the Pi will stay as is and outside the initial build (version 1). I'll continue to power it as I always have. As this is my first arcade stick build and likely to be a temporary solution, it's very low budget. It's currently housed in an cardboard box! I'll look into upgrading it into something more classy once I can establish how much use it's going to get. I received all the parts last week and spent some time on weekend wiring everything up to ensure it was all working. I'll reconsider the options we discussed here once it's upgraded and decide if an all in one arcade stick/PI solution is the better option. More importantly, if it can be achieved using the few tools I have access to whilst keeping costs to a minimum.
