You can copy the main inputconfiguration.sh config script and then modify the path where the configuration scripts are, pointing to your own script folder (i.e. the Dolphin mapping script). You can run the script manually so you don't have to go through EmulationStation each time you want to run your mapping script.

To get more details when running a script, use either bash -x <scriptname> to see a step-by-step execution trace or modify the script header (1st line) to use bash -x for execution

@roslof Thanks for testing/confirming the fix.

I must admit, it is not really a backward compatibility but restoring a functionality I accidentally scrapped with the last optimization roughly three weeks ago (before this fix). TIL it was designed by Aloshi this way. However it does not document the behaviour when h is greater than lineSpacing. I am currently updating the themes page of the RetroPie Docs to put more emphasis on this text+size thing.

For the wrap of Manager to the next line: IIRC you moved from 16:9 to 4:3 of epic noir didn't you (if not branch wise than at least display wise)? In any case: You may give the longdescription in the toplevel theme.xml of epic noir a little more x-space (<size> value is in percentage of total screenwidth) to keep the Manager on the same line (Ctrl-t and Ctrl-r are your friends). So no need for wordsmithing.

PS: It was the maintainer @pjft who did the merge, thanks.

@mitu said in Requesting help for diagnosing ES issue on Pi4B:

@roslof when you have the chance, can you try installing the latest emulationstation-dev from source ? There's a fix added that should help speed up the initial loading.

@mitu as you would expect, with Last Played toggled true, load times are no longer in excess of 50 seconds for me. Cheers to you for the fix!

@tomaz said in [ES-dev Bug Report] Attempting to modify Description metadata exits ES with a malloc error:

https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/pull/779 should fix this

As expected, works perfectly. Cheers!

@2play also, please share your es_systems file here, debug logs, and while you're at it find other files with the same name on your system.

The link I shared earlier should help troubleshoot though.

If the emulator itself doesn't implement bezels, then there's not much that can be done to externally overlay an image, since most emulators need exclusive/fullscreen access to the video output.
