@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 :)

@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.

Thankyou for the response looks like good progress has been made.

@quicksilver I was asking for the memory on the pi itself. Your answer was applicable. :)

@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).

@mitu I'm using Skraper and I'm putting the images manually, why can not I create an .xml file

@M3th0D I was getting 15khz out of HDMI like you but i went into a hdmi to component converter, using retropie.. I came a cross this post when i was trying to work things out, and seen the runcommand , I used it but in a different way,,I got emulation station running in 480i, and retroarch running in 1600x240.. and it switches back to 480i when exiting games.

https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/22467/hdmi-to-component-crt-help-runcommand/10

just wanted to pass on the info.

@cookiepanda Can you get the ~/.emulationstation/es_log.txt file and upload it to pastebin.com to take a look ? Has the installation been performed successfully or there were errors during installation ?

@mitu sorry wasn't sure what that meant.

Thanks anyway.

Going to do a full flash and reinstall from the official image

@mitu thank you. I did try changing sources with Steve's scraper, but I still get nothing.

I'll do the upgrade and see what happens.

It worked thanks guys:)

@ectoone said in Es Theme - Questions:

Simple answer, you can't do it.
Videos are not supported on system view, and most elements can only be used once.

Thanks for the tip

@nastytone also you can use raspi-config to setup wifi I believe.
