The only flags I might consider would be a define to disable building in video support or not if it was done cleanly - but this wouldn't be used for RetroPie, but it could be useful for people building from source who wanted to exclude them (someone requested this on the issue tracker I believe).

I have no issue with current compile time, nor do I think flags/defines for enabling/disabling features would be much use. I wouldn't accept any PR for such things without being convinced why we would need it.

@Shmeter.man are you using a thumb drive to put the bios on? There are issues with the sega cd bios' and that method. Use something like winscp to put the bios files on.

Changed it to instant, changed the theme and voila, it worked.

That was a quick resolve!

Wasn't so much worried about my setup as wanting to get it documented on here in case anyone else runs into this issue with ES being worked on as much as it has been these days.

Thanks!

Eh, what exactly do you mean by 'getting stuck in Kidmode'?
Do you mean you cannot unlock the UI mode back to full? Or that you want to revert to stock ES?

I've found a solution:

Install attract frontend, then i can configure my two joypads manually for the frontend.

For the backend(retroarch) i had the next line with value "linuxraw" so i changed it to udev and autoconfig worked!

input_joypad_driver = "udev"

The buttons were previously mapped so only configuring retroarch/all/retroarch.cfg was enough, now the two joypads work.

Hope this post helps someone!

@FlyingTomahawk you're my hero, it works like a charm !

A big big thanks to you \o/

I was able to fix it. For anyone else who runs into this problem and finds this thread in the future.

f4
reboot (not restart emulationstation, reboot the entire pi)
f4
uninstall kids mode
reboot
f4
fresh install of emulationstation
reboot
f4
install kids mode
reboot
f4
update emulationstation (for some reason it reverted upon the installation of kids mode)
reboot

It now works! Yay me!

@Capeman That's true but isn't that the same for some of the other options? If the option was included it would at least be noticeable that it's possible to deactivate the splashscreen.
I only found out that is possible to do so because someone mentioned it in some thread which I was luckily watching for some other reason.

@meleu I will. Thanks a lot for your time!

PS has been merged :)

@BuZz Sorry man, first time here, I will be carefull next time
Thanks

@pittstone no problem. Just wait for it to be merged into the main branch. Know that someone has fixed it :)

@Sano Thanks, team!

@bigman1982 let's move this here:

While I'm quite confident it's not necessarily related to collections, I want to try to dig into this.

Thanks!

Hi @herb_fargus

Thanks for the reply

Tried that and it worked, but it was left orientated and i couldn't find any way to change the viewport. And it reset on restart.

Kind Regards

Thanks for that tip finh! I was trying to troubleshoot cpu usage on x86 emulationstation and happened on your post, works perfectly to address cpu usage!

The game title element ('md_title') is a small part of this activity.

@Zigurana If you want, maybe I can take a look when my job on the grid view will be "finished". I start to understand well this part of the code base.
