Hi again! I’d like to add a few clarifications and refinements to better explain the suggestion:

🔧 Technical Insight
Currently, it seems the carousel positioning is affected by the width and spacing of adjacent logos. This makes the selected (center) logo appear off-center or "pushed" when neighboring logos are wider or spaced unevenly.

A possible solution could be adding support for something like:

<carouselCenterLock>true</carouselCenterLock>

...inside theme.xml, allowing the selected system logo to remain visually anchored in a fixed position while the surrounding logos move independently.

🎯 Cross-compatibility Benefit
This would also make theme development easier for those porting designs from Batocera or ES-DE, where the selected item in the carousel is always visually fixed. It improves consistency and opens the door for more dynamic and polished carousel layouts.

📐 Logo Scaling Behavior Issue
Additionally, when a theme increases the size of the selected logo to highlight it, EmulationStation currently scales the logo from its center, which makes it look like it “floats” or moves upward. It would be better to allow the logo to scale from the bottom center, so it stays grounded and aligned with other UI elements (like background frames, labels, or shadows).

🧪 Willing to Help
I'm happy to test or help explore these improvements if anyone on the development team is interested.

Thanks again for considering this!

@mitu
i have created an suggest on libretro github

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/12434

I don't know if it's the correct ways but i was already registered on github so why not try :)

If you know someone on libretro/retroarch developers team pass the suggest to him :)

Imagine It, you have a local or a pub and you want your clients to enjoy using your retro console but of course you want a legit benefit.

Imagine you buy an actual arcade with licensed games - you can use a Real ™ coin acceptor, like in the old days.

@Finndersen The feature is already implemented in latest ES. In Sound Settings change audio device to "Speaker" and omx audio device try both ALSA options to see which works. Let me know how it goes.

at least a 4 core 2GHz ARM or CPU with h264 H10p suport
2 Gb RAM
Gb Ethernet
Wifi a/b/g/ac and BT
USB 3
EMMC 8 ~ 32GB and a version without SD card

Separate version with SATA port.

@__Scannigan__ I think marquee sits at the top of the pile, but I'm not 100% sure if there isn't something else above it.

@herb_fargus said in <feature supported="carousel"> Not Working:

the binary release for the toolkit draft includes the latest binary release jdrassa posted.

That isn't up on the toolkit yet is it? I confused myself will too many versions of ES, trying to make sure everything worked with as many versions as possible. I've fixed up BaseVid to use maxSize instead of size for the videos, and fixed the sizing so it looks okay when using logos instead of mix images. I still need to change the gamelists in the repo though.

Edit I have updated the gamelists to use the Logo image instead of the Mix image on Video View. Detailed View still uses the full Mix image.
