Okay cool it might be a while I am doing a portapie homemade so I have to get that fixed and finished before I do that

i will try adding <theme>fighting</theme> hope this works.
currently the home theme is set to carbon so do i change anything in emulationstation\themes\Carbon\theme name\FILENAME.svg.

from the gamelist which file is loaded?
the .lha archive?

And is the .whd in the same folder as the whdload_db.xml
located possibly at
/opt/retropie/emulators/amiberry/whdboot/

@IntoShadows said in Adding a light gun collection option\button to the showcase theme:

I'm currently using the "Wolfanoz ArcadeOnly 32GB" image

Third party images are not supported here.

Thanks for all that info! I'll try it out and tell you.

I've been meaning to provide an update for the for a while so here goes.

I still haven't fully resolved the issues with the controllers but I've not really had a good stab at it yet.

A few more photos; generally I'm happy. When reassembled the fan blows straight across the compute module (which was the idea) so adding a heat sink so keep it nice and cool.

The HDMI port in not fully aligned - not a major problem but the perfectionist in me doesn't like it - that on the list of changes if there's ever a next version. Also, I'm not too keen on the empty hole to the right, might be an idea to add another USB port in future.

Front USB port fits nicely into a slightly modified memory card port but doesn't sit at the correct height - something else to be tweaked.

As for the next version, this is on hold for now. One of the original aims for using the Compute Module was future upgradability base on the assumption future Compute Modules would keep the same interface/footprint. The ultimate hope was the come CM4 or CM5 the power might be there for GameCube emulation.

However, I've read that future versions might deviate from the SO-DIMM 200 interface, hence I'll hold off on making any more hardware changes with this until there's more clarity on what the future holds. It's been a fun process and has taught me a lot on the way - which was the real aim anyway!

Version 2.7.6

I have an image all set up for my RPi, but I recently got an odroid XU4 and am looking at porting as much custom esthetic as possible.
I do see that the RetroPie branch does not have the converted .cpp folder. Honestly this whole project for me is about learning how these systems work.

Thank you again for your quick response :)

@mitu Thank you so much again. This is why RP community is second to no one!

Finally I made it... with no luck. I don't want to bother you. I will assume custom collections won't work for me.

Thanks!!

@edmaul69 said in lr-FBA controller config:

@tr3v0r when you set up a 6 button layout it is supposed to be set up as

LXR
YBA

yes there is massive confusion at the moment with 6 and 8 buttons.

the Megadrive/Genesis (6 Button) layout you where using is probably for the megadrive emulator its no good in other cores. Keep in mind to remap your genesis core if your using this as a global

@cyperghost Thanks a lot for sharing, I've just done it and it worked perfectly, I would only like to know if a text at the end of the videos could be removed somehow Thanks again

@quicksilver Haha! Retrogames as a religion, why not ;-)
Make sure you play the ps1 port of Doom too...feels like a whole different games with the creepy music.

@thelostsoul I used the scrip for your genesis custom collection....
2 files are missing....

Sonic Blast .... This file is not in my collection, so impossible to find DECapAttack ... That's an error in writing, so no chance to discover

Remade an old stick to match.. (well almost match, the yellow is pretty darn off)

@cloudlink Not currently.

My bad, I worded my issue incorrectly.
I am having issues getting the palette to load at all.
If I could get it to load, I know I can save the configuration for the specific ROM.

@dudleydes yes I tried that as well.

UPDATE: everything is working perfect now. the trick was updating the binaries. :) Geez I should have started with that a week ago haha.

hi all is this issue resolved as ive got the same problem with emulationstation windows the custom collections are not there when i shut down and reload

i have to go to setting and add them everytime
