      There's an unassigned issue from 2018 in Emulation Station's bugtracker, but alas, the solution suggested there doesn't work anymore, because the link points to line 256 of https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/blob/master/es-core/src/components/DateTimeComponent.cpp, but that file has only 129 lines by now, and the original file's line 256 is not part of the current file anymore. Maybe someone with more programming experience than me can come up with a solution for the current DateTimeComponent.cpp (and maybe post it as another comment in the issue #385).

      @Deniss_K said in Scanlines on the menu (Emulationstation): @Clyde Another off-topic question: what image size/resolution/format/compression/colour format is recommended for themes on raspberry pi 3+? Alas, I have no experience in this matter.

      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.

      @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.

      @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.

      So in the end I did end up making the gamelist myself.

      @edmaul69 what do you mean? I just put a MP4-Video in the splashscreen folder and selected it as splashscreen. So it comes up on booting and emulationstation is loaded meanwhile in the background.

      @Furluge I suppose they look like RA's controls when run on a mobile device - but they're overlays. I posted the link to them in the first screenshot post.

      @sirhenrythe5th Carbon supports video. As far as I know, the only grid enabled themes are @ruckage's Pandora and Neogeo mini themes, which are not in the RP list of installable themes (specifically because they only support the grid view).
