@lilbud I have other version then. https://github.com/Akiafroo/es-theme-minimal Is there any difference? the change, can it be done on this one?

@wbaker08 /opt/retropie/configs/n64/InputAuto.Cfg Is where you should be making your changes to controls for the standalone mupen64plus emulator. Also did you enable the 8bitdo hack in: /opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconf.cfg (I'm not 100% what it does but may be relevant)

@mitu I see. I understand. Thank you for the help. I will see if i can find an alternative to NESPi case. Well, the biggest reason i got it was because of the Safe Shutdown script. Pressing a button to turn off the console is neat, so i can prevent any corruptions to the SD Card.

you edit the config.txt file with some of these settings: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt/video.md

@techana The errors you posted seems to indicate there's no available VRAM for the video to be rendered. If you're not using OMX (which has HW acceleration), Emulationstation will use vlc (via libvlc) to play the videos and they're not accelerated. The downside of using the omxplayer is that videos will appear in a separate layer on top of any image, hence some themes will suffer from it. Try increasing the GPU VRAM - the default RetroPie image will allocate 256Mb to the GPU, but you can increase that by editing the /boot/config.txt file. You can then increase the VRAM limit in Emulationstation, so maybe the ENOMEM errors will be gone.

Thanks Mitu for link, seems they have MOVED custom setting number from 22 to 23. Well know one of the tasks I will need to do over Christmas holidays, cfg file updates :/

@cybermonkey01 most of the free to download games that can run on the pi are already in our ‘ports’ package manager.

@slimbrick That's most likely some video codec that's not understood by omxplayer. It's also a common problem, there are a few topics on how to re-encode those videos to be compatible with omxplayer.

It'll handle the bios names in lower or upper case and a variety of different versions but they must be named in the scphXXXX.bin or SCPHXXXX.BINformat. I've been using scph7502.bin. I don't believe there's much of a difference, if any, I've just had this handy for years. There's no guessing to this. Renaming files is your problem here. For some examples of bios names: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Playstation-1 Get the romset version for the emulator you want to use and DON'T rename anything. https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Arcade

@mitu said in Add option to adjust BG volume in emulationstation: @lesk said in Add option to adjust BG volume in emulationstation: But now I'm wondering if there is a way to add a option in the menu of emulationstation to adjust the volume of the BG music. SInce the BG music is not part of ES, why would this options appear there ? The script has it's own volume set, embedded in the script, so it would ignore any external settings. If you'd like to change the volume - modify the script and change the maxvolume setting at the beginning of the script, it's at 0.50 (which I assume is 50% of max available). I want it there because its easier and more accessible to adjust the volume from the ES menu. If I'm playing on my Retropie setup and feel like adjusting the volume of the BG music. I don't want to use SSH, or go to my computer to navigate to the script, change it, and then restart. I've seen people adding custom item to the menu before, and I just want to know if this is possible. And how to do it ^^ I'm not good at programing, so figuring this out for by myself is kinda impossible at this moment. If the script will ignore any external settings. Maybe there is a another way of doing this?

Actually, you can use emulationstation for windows as a theme editor. I think that it would be very hard to adjust the objects dragging them with the mouse cursor and people will end up using text editor anyways.

I guess the fbi (image viewer) used to display the .png file does not support transparency ? Ahh ok, that makes sense. It seems it defaults to a gray background. I wonder if there's a way to either have it default to a black background OR make the side bezels match the gray background i'm getting from the .png

@almulder Collections are automatically generated, so there's no similar sorting option.

No, Emulationstation doesn't have the ability to run shaders, that's something specific to RetroArch.

So what happened was, I didn't think I wanted ALL of RPie when I started. So I cloned a Emulationstation repos... with retropie-setup you can install as little or as much of retropie as you like.

I would make everything pbp format to save space :D

i did put the same .exe back and everything is working again. i think my anti virus just got abit paranoid about the gameslist.xml it was creating perhaps

@douga said in Best of Games for Kids up to 12 Years (collections, themes): Scott Adams text adventure Nice, i like the Idea for Text Adventures, but my Games are also Playable with multi-language support or without any language. For german and other non-english User are the Games playable. The Adams text adventure are only in english and hard to play for kids and Users with bad English Skills for an text Adventure.
