      Some of the palettes are built-in into the emulator and they don't have a file on disc associated. Only when you choose custom as the core option you need to provide a palette file in the BIOS folder.

      The name of the file depends on the emulator, if you're using the default NES emulator (fceumm), then the file must be named nes.pal, see https://docs.libretro.com/library/fceumm/#custom-color-palettes. If you're using the nestopia core, the file is named custom.pal.

      @poor-cosmo Well, there are several upvotes (9 with mine right now), that is feed back, although not very elaborate.

      I for my part just missed this thread when it was opened. I like the idea of a new H.E.R.O. clone, since I played it all the way to 1.000.000 points on the C64 (kind of the "end" of the game, since the score would turn to "!!!!!!!!!!" at that point).

      @mitu said in Creating a custom SDL2 gamepad mapping?:

      Try maybe adding the export command to $HOME/.bashrc.

      That also worked from terminal but not from ES.

      So what I think is happening is this: autostart.sh is called from /etc/profile.d/10-retropie.sh which runs as part of /etc/profile. Then once that's complete it calls .profile and .bashrc.

      But since the environment var is set in autostart it is perhaps disconnected from the profile service and so maybe the variable is local only to that shell. So it works from inside ES but when I exit ES and the autostart shell terminates, the var goes away and it doesn't work from terminal.

      When I set it in .profile or in .bashrc it works from terminal, but these aren't processed until after ES exits because that's part of autostart which happens while /etc/profile is still going on.

      @craggus2000 Thanks for reporting back. Have fun. Please edit your first post and add in the something like [solved], so it is more likely to be picked up by search engines.

      Your question made me updating my hint from last year on that topic.

      Errata: 13 buttons do have 4 for the axis and 9 for the push buttons. :-D I was in a hurry.

      this is against the licenses and also incredibly rude to be touting your wares the very people who voluntarily create and support some of the software you are profiting off of.

      @simpleethat said in custom launching images (multiple):

      @dan1300 I don't know about being able to display random launching images but you can assign them per system or even per game as outlined here.

      I am aware and I have moved forward with that and I will come back to this later when I gain some more knowledge on programming.

      Thanks for your time.

      It might be helpful to provide some details about what you're trying to do - which emulator/system, how are you trying to add palettes, etc.

      I just discover how to do it now, my bad.
      https://github.com/JungleJim42/es-theme-collections
      this provides some help.
      Basically i was putting the folder in themes with the same name as the .cfg (ex: custom-test).

      To make this work the Collection .cfg in .emulationstation\collections should be custom-NAME

      and

      The Theme .emulationstation\themes (create the folder if u didnt have one) copy existing theme that u want to customize from Theme folder in /etc/emulationstation/themes to the new folder that u just created, then the new folder should have the name of the collection "NAME" and not the full .cfg name "custom-NAME".

      U can copy the .xml from other collection then just tweak it, it is actually super ez.

      Edit: for Automatic collections just do the same process but the names for the folders are "auto-lastplayed", "auto-favorites" and "auto-allgames".

      I've been reading a littl emore and it seems it is possible to ignore the screens edid data. Instead I can use an edid.dat file with the values I want.

      I think I have to add hdmi_ignore_edid and hmi_edid_file to config.txt

      The only thing I don't know is how to create a an edid.dat file with the correct information.
      If someone knows (or even better, give me a better edid file) how to do this I think this problem is solveable.

      @Morotezuki - I would definitely check your local laws especially for something worthwhile as non-profit that helps other people. I've seen it more than once where you can legally rent arcade machines for non-profit use in the US. The key being a rental or even donations for non-profits/charities.

      After working with local law enforcement for 20+ years they would be hard pressed to turn something like that over to the State's Attorney or Attorney General for prosecution let alone those offices wanting to take the man hours and resources away from serious felony crimes. I've watched street cops make decisions off intent (was it good or bad) and they chose not to cite any type of citation, ticket or arrest due to that intent. When there's no unlawful intent they will usually leave it to the parties to find a resolution. Intent makes all the difference in deciding how to proceed.

      You can actually sue someone throwing paper on your lawn (or anything for that matter) but it introduces two challenges. Finding a lawyer to take your case would be near impossible (try calling a few and explain a weird situation, they'll have you off the phone before you can say prosecute) let alone a judge to rule in favor of a crime that opens the judicial system to abuse and tying up courts for petty crimes.

      It's like staying off the FBI's top 50 list of crimes. If you do it's more than likely you'll never see them knocking on your door, literally true. Should we go after the Pac-Man player trying to feed the homeless or a "new" serial killer or drug dealer dropping 5 keys of coke on the streets weekly. No contest.

      I imagine most of the members on the forums use ROMs illegally but the laws don't deter us old gamers much from doing what we love and I don't imagine they care that much.

      Anyway I would check your laws as there's usually a legal workaround especially when folks are trying to help law enforcement, juveniles or feeding the homeless, hungry, etc. They aren't there to strictly enforce the law to the letter or make a community miserable when it comes to doing good. Basically doing good for a community at large is a healthy great idea. I wouldn't give up trying to do good things! :)

      This happened to a lot of people with the new PI4 model - thinking they can re-use the miniHDMI cables they had for the Pi Zero.
