Hi @jdrassa any news on a fix for this as yet please? https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/issues/667

Just built es-dev from source and the squished boxart is fixed!

I just remembered that Retropie is doesn't support Buster yet so it would'nt work on Retropie just yet.

This looks grate and just what I need. Do you have a complete idiots guide on how to setup on raspberry pi? I have two ultrastik 360s and two dragon rise joystick buttons i want to combine one ultrastik with one dragon rise for player 1 and the the other two for player 2. I've lost count of how many methods I've found and tried but can't get anything working... Been at it for weeks now. Any help greatly appreciated.

I am a complete noob so a step by step guide is really needed thanks

Ok, took way too much time, but the Android keyboard should be fixed now.

WARNING: Overlocking can damage your pi.

Hello,

I have been messing around with the pi 1 model b, and I have found that if you overclock the retropi, to 1000mHz, and sigificantly increases your speed of pi and are able to play emulators that you were not able to play before. This includes Sega 32x and GBA. However overclocking your pi can seriously damage your pi. This is because you are forcing the CPU to work faster then it was designed for. Recommand you do this for short periods of time, but never long term. The only Pi that you can successfully overclock is the Pi Zero, which has been designed at the hardware level to run at 1000mHz. To overclock go to retropi settings and then go to overclocking.

Also if you add a keyboard and mouse you can use the ports emulator. In the retropi settings, to to retro pi setup. Click on optional packages, that then scroll down to the bottom of the list, you will find a selection of open-source (free) games to play with a keyboard and mouse. Connect the pi to the internet and download from binary. Reboot the pi and then play. All work on the pi 1 model b without overclocking.

Thank you and regards.

@mitu I got it working with the runcommand now. Only a small visual issue (no progress bar while downloading a game).

But I found a bug in downloadAndExtract, and I opened a pull request :D

Hey! A bit late haha

So... I don't know much of cmake, but I ALWAYS like to start by the official website and documentation.

I found an official tutorial on the official website:
https://cmake.org/cmake-tutorial/

Not the BEST answer but I hope it helps...

Cya!

@mitu oh wow, never thought about something like that!
Thank Mitu, i will have patience next time! 😊

@herb_fargus said in ES Themes Menu Revision:

Another suggestion would be a culling to keep well maintained themes and leaves the others to an auxillary script.

I think this is a good option as well.

I also like this idea.

The RetroPie-Setup scripts use a helper script - joy2key - to navigate and enable buttons in dialog enabled scripts. Take a look here to see how it's started/stopped. You can source the RetroPie-Setup helper.sh or copy the functions you need from it in order to use it in your script.

Just my findings:

Add missing variable to save state

This is the commit that breaks the loading of existing state files from old pi's.

And for anyone's future reference: here is the github issue regarding it: https://github.com/libretro/libretro-fceumm/issues/215

@jcode said in Software dev questions.:

All of my questions are dependable on what type of software i wrote?

If it's software that includes links to roms or downloaders for them we obviously don't condone it because it will do nothing but damage the project and earn you a nice ban. But there are plenty of web/theme managers scattered throughout the forum so if it's similar to those I don't see an issue with sharing it with the community

No...the software does not contain any illegal stuff. I would never do anything to hurt RetroPie and it´s community.

Thanks for your answer.

I love this theme sooooooo much. I'm a proper 80's boy!
Is there a way to extract the music from this image please Coin Junkie?
I have FTP'd into the image but can't see the audio files?
Thanks for the great Theme!

@haleice there is no variable that can be used for game images. You are limited to the media files specified in your gamelist.xml.
Variables are only available for system related images or text.

I was scrolling through the commits of the recalbox emulation station build and I'm curious if the following commits can be merged (maybe just partially) into the retropie version. From what I've seen and understood, those should add support for themeable menus and add an extra menu to directly switch theme settings in the GUI.

Main commit helpBox fix transition tag (not quite nessessary but would be nice to have)

@kkokkinos There are a few GPIO based controller drivers available in RetroPie:

https://retropie.org.uk/docs/GPIO-Modules/ https://github.com/recalbox/mk_arcade_joystick_rpi

I think you're trying to use the mk_arcade_joystick_rpi one ? If so, then you need to install it first from the RetroPie-Setup script (it's in the drivers section of the packages) and then configure it - as described on the Github page of the driver. You can ignore all the installation steps and just look at the pinout and make sure you connected the wires correctly, then jump to the Loading the driver section.

There is no recalbox.conf file in RetroPie, that is part of the Recalbox image -a different project.

@mitu said in How to setup my game into raspberry pi?:

the Emulators shipped in RetroPie support JavaScript based games (if your game is programmed in JavaScript), you'd need a browser to run it. RetroPie does not ship with a browser, but you can add it by install

i see, cause this project im working on now required to be play on web browser(thus the .js format) and also on an arcade machine(where my problem come in, the installation on raspberry pi)

So this mean my developer will need to code in perhaps in a coding language that can both run on web and in retropie ?
