@vinnie881 said in Xbox 360 controller disconnects when exiting es: I found this is a known issue with xpad driver, Do you have a reference ? Which issue are you referring to ?

@brnsct24 Why don't you do it the other way around - you can install the desktop from RetroPIe and start it from EmulationStation - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/FAQ/#where-did-the-desktop-go.

Thxs again @mitu you allways help.

@BuZz i am running the most recent build of retropie on ununtu 18.04 built yesterday from source. I see there is an 8bitdo option under retropie settings bluetoorh, that writes to bluetooth rules. I assume this may be the culprite as the docs specify if this is not done the controller would not work on a restart.

We don't support 3rd party images or systems bought with RetroPie - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first. Selling RetroPie is against the project's license. If you'd like to use RetroPie, get one of the images from retropie.org.uk/download and then follow the installation instructions from the Docs to use it.

My workaround is changing it to "2000" and counting when on that screen. (shrug)

@mitu I just did it and now seems to work correctly. Thank you. I'll let you know if I get other issues

@Sanctus Alas, I don't know Batocera or its directory tree at all. Maybe you should ask this at the Batocera forums with reference to this thread. I guess you are the Sanctus over there, too?

Thanks for the follow up. However, I'm slightly confused by what you're saying here. It should probably be noted, I'm on a desktop making all this work at present, not a RetroPie (will set that up later, once design stuff is done). So I'm using SkraperUI_Beta8 to do my art scraping on my desktop. It scrapes my collection fresh and assigns the folder/meta data as needed. The problem seems not from the XML, but how the theme handles the labels? Does that make sense?

@BuZz Pi Model: 3B Power Supply used: Official Built From: on top of existing OS You’re right, it’s a custom image. I downgraded the firmware to 1.2019401-1 via rasbiantools in retropie_packages. Now everything works fine. I suppose this is some bug in the vc in newer firmware.

@AlphaBetaPie There is an alpha version for Skyscraper for Windows - http://www.muldjord.com/downloads/Skyscraper_3.1.5_unsupported_win_version.zip - that might work. For videos - I don't think Skyscraper converts or does any processing, that's going to be more tricky to do.

@quicksilver @mitu It worked! Thanks for the help!!!

@rkoster said in Adding Text to Custom Theme: I posted an example of doing exactly this just the other day: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22800/add-console-year-next-to-games-count/2 Thanks so much! That does look like it might be what I'm after, but I still can't see to get it to work quite right. I have tried it a few different ways, but the code is not displaying properly. Can you upload links to the two XML files you reference in the other thread so I can see you're work-flow (and will help discover where I'm going wrong)

@danield420 well the black screen could be a bad rom or possibly a missing bios file. Sure there are other factors for the balck screen i'm still learning myself. This RetroPie Github page has helped me so much https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Supported-Systems . Or make another topic and i'm sure someone can help you solve the problem if you didn't already on your own.

Topic moved.

@mitu Thanks. Though I find it hard to believe I'm the only one wanting to use a x86 machine but with the same user experience as RetroPie on a Rpi. So no desktop just plain retro gaming, seamingless. I can't find any good tutorial on this. Makes me wanna go back to my Rpi... Problem with the Rpi is that it isn't powerful enough to Run Dreamcast and GameCube games.

@BJRetro said in PSP scraping?: @mitu I think he is asking if there is any way to somehow extract the menu image file, music file, etc.from the .iso or original PSP game that was “baked into” the game data itself for display on the original PSP, and then use those (extracted) files in EmulationStation. Yes that is correct. Going online to scrape games for other systems is good. I don't want it to go online for the PSP. I want it to extract the baked in menu data from the game itself. If nobody's written a script for that, then that might be a good utility for me to write. But before I go start typing a bunch of Python (seems like the appropriate tool for this) I want to make sure nobody else has already done it.

Yeah that worked, thanks!

@Honda-Z50M I don't think you're gonna get much help here now, now that the site knows you're using a third party image.

So in the end I did end up making the gamelist myself. The good thing is that the game and the thumbnail are the same file for Pico-8 games :) pi@retropie:~/RetroPie/roms $ cat /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico8/gamelist.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <gameList> <game> <path>./Across_the_river.p8.png</path> <name>Across_the_river</name> <image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico8/Across_the_river.p8.png</image> </game> <game> <path>./Combo_Pool.p8.png</path> <name>Combo_Pool</name> <image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico8/Combo_Pool.p8.png</image> </game> <game> <path>./Dank_Tomb.p8.png</path> <name>Dank_Tomb</name> <image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico8/Dank_Tomb.p8.png</image> </game> <game> <path>./Hungry_Harry_3d.p8.png</path> <name>Hungry_Harry_3d</name> <image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico8/Hungry_Harry_3d.p8.png</image> </game> <game> <path>./Kelins_delivery_Rain.p8.png</path> <name>Kelins_delivery_Rain</name> <image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico8/Kelins_delivery_Rain.p8.png</image> </game> <game> <path>./Stories_at_dawn.p8.png</path> <name>Stories_at_dawn</name> <image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico8/Stories_at_dawn.p8.png</image> </game> <game> <path>./The_Wee_Dungeon.p8.png</path> <name>The_Wee_Dungeon</name> <image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico8/The_Wee_Dungeon.p8.png</image> </game> <game> <path>./U-Turn.p8.png</path> <name>U-Turn</name> <image>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/pico8/U-Turn.p8.png</image> </game> <game> <path>./Dusk_Child.p8.png</path> <name>Dusk_Child</name> <image>./Dusk_Child.p8.png</image> <playcount>2</playcount> <lastplayed>20190414T055919</lastplayed> </game> </gameList>
