@mediamogul great movie.

@pittstone Any chance for a 4:3 version? 😌

@jpoul said in How can I hide subfolders in EmulationStation?: Shouldn't the feature "Parse Gamelists only" show exactly what is on the gamelists.xml file - as in the list of game, no matter where they are and disregard everything else? No, that's not how it works. It just means that it will not scan for new ROMs in the configured path to add them to the game list. If I do change the rom path, shouldn't I have to put the gamelist.xml in that path as well? Yes, either that or put it in the default place (/home/pi/.emulationstation/gamelists/nes).

@horaceandspider I've got an arcade cabinet using 4 Sanwa-style arcade joysticks that are recognised as Dragonrise. The only way I've been able to address this problem of differentiating between joysticks is to use meleu's joystick configurator together with Attract Mode (which allows very easy programming of joystick controls "outside" the game environment) and xboxdrv (for in game control). Basically, xboxdrv "ties" each joystick button/movement to keyboard inputs which have been set in Retroarch and also set in each non-Retroarch emulator (the key being that almost every emulator allows keyboard input). I then invoke xboxdrv via runcommand-onstart to start up the specific xboxdrv joystick configuration for that particular emulator. xboxdrv can even be used on a per-game basis, so it is very flexible. This works very well and basically bypasses the problem of differentiating between each joystick as the effect is that you are "using the keyboard" when moving the joystick or pressing a joystick button, whichever joystick it might be. However, I suspect it might prove to be quite a bit of work for you to set this up on an established system that is already devoted to emulationstation. You could achieve the same using emulationstation, leaving Attract Mode to one side, but I shifted over to Attract Mode about 2 years ago. Mediamogul is the guru on xboxdrv.

@annomatik On mine, I use Up, Down, Left, Right, B, A, Y, X, T=sTart, E=sElect

@cacrlhungus74 Sure, we'll keep an eye out for it. If you want to send over any of the other logs from your pi when you have the chance, please do so and I'll gladly take a look. Do trim syslog to have data for only the specific day/session of the issue - no need to send me all the historic logs from your pi :) In regards to reinstalling, you're referring to the ubuntu one, right? If you'd have a spare SD card lying around, and would want to do the same from a fresh RetroPie 4.4 image with no updates and see how it goes, that could help as well. Thanks!

I've encountered this problem myself. All you have to do is remove the dependencies for vlc

@andrewh I know it is not what you asked for, but I saw a thread some time ago where someone used Attract Mode, as there is apparently a decent vertical theme.

@mitu I confirm that xpad now works. I removed xboxdrv as it was not as good as xpad now that xpad is fixed.

@paf said in Game description in detailed view does not scroll correctly: The power saving modes (other than "disabled") are not compatible with scrolling description text So disabling power saving solved my text scrolling problem. I hope this will help others to. Man thank you! This bugged me for a long time and I always thought it is something with the Emulation Station Themes and just kinda ignored it. Many thanks posting the solution, you helped me at this point.

Please provide some information about your system, as detailed in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

@thelostsoul said in While updating all themes it waits for input "Username for 'https://github.com':": es-theme-cygnus it looks like this theme repository doesn't exist anymore. paging @BuZz - guess it can be removed from https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/06d4418ed485f701ce42f61e9a1777142c0fd946/scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh ? after that is done, you could update your setup script and try again.

@tigerknee That seems an over complicated stuff to do. The problem with ES running at same time as X.org was because input devices losing controll. I don't know if that is still true. Does it work fine, while the desktop is still running, like playing games and return to the desktop?

@lilbud thanks! this will help me a lot!

@cloudlink It's in the file mamenames.xml in the resources folder of the RetroPie EmulationStation repo: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation Here's the direct link to the raw file.

How did you do the update ? Have you updated all packages or picked some of them and updated ? As @TheDataCereal said, ES seems so be missing so you should re-install it from the setup script.

@a12c4 I actually haven't been able to reproduce it when fiddling around with it this morning. So, everything honestly seems to be working well in emulationstation-dev.

For anyone wondering, I got it working using Raspidmx PNGView: ./pngview -b 0 -l 10000 file.png I set the layer to 10000 so it overlaps EmulationStation as well as RetroArch
