Okay. It appears screensaver controls only work with videos - is that right? Also, while it did initially work setting the screensaver to activate after 5 secs, it decided it didn't like it after a while, and it appears fine with it set back to the minute again. (I'm assuming the GUI not allowing me to go below a minute is something of a warning, here.) So now my main question really is: has anyone used Skraper recently? It seems great, but try as I might I cannot get the video resizing to work.

@mitu ok thanks I will try running it direct from bootup

Please stop spamming the forum topics - this is not how a forum works and it's rude. You didn't provide any of the information asked in https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first, please do so and we'll be able to provide better assistance.

@Asmodeus04 I'm going to drop this for now. unless you you are using a CRT, the 120 hertz mode is not worth messing with. It's too choppy.

Is ReDream the one with the GUI? I used FlyCast and it .... worked.... One of the emulators crashed on me but I don't recall which one. I'll try ReDream again as it did load but seemed a little goofy but that's probably due to my inexperience with it. Took me a few minutes to realize the mouse was working and had to exit using the commands and not through RetroArch. I'll give it another whirl. Part of the problem is not really having anything off the top of my head that I would specifically play on Dreamcast. Nearly everything over the years that I had has either aged terribly and not worth the trouble or has been updated or remade on better systems. PSO has been redone and done better, Skies of Arcadia is on GameCube, etc.

@mitu ok great! Glad I wasn’t messing something up

@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)
