Cool idea and looks nice.

You might consider using <sortname/> [1] in the gamelist instead of modifying the display name of the ROM upon preprocessing.

What duration adds the preprocessing to the ES start?
Do you rewrite every extra information to the gamelist every time (video, thumbnail, ... and hiscores)? I would assume only rewriting the hiscores would be sufficient as they change more often than the "static" scraped data.
Last but not least: What are your plans to publish the sources?

@cdaters glad to help

This one's my favourite at the moment:

I recommend you post your splash screen here:

@joharibk said in [Theme] switchOS for Pegasus:

Hi @PlayingKarrde is there a way to change loading screen when boot. And also is there a way to silent boot? Even when starting a game I got those command text. Is it possible? I using raspberry pi 3b+ latest version of Retropie.

Unfortunately that is more of a Pegasus question than on the theme side but I don't believe that is currently possible.

@markyh444 AFAIK there is no source code available - just the pre-installed PI image. It uses RetroArch + the MegaDrive cores and it looks like the image is based on Raspbian, so if the author wants to give permission to re-distribute or releases the source code under a distribution permissive license, it might be possible to add it as an alternate front-end.

The limbo16 project is a 3rd party folders-support add-on for the blast16 Raspberry Pi emulator front-end:

@mitu Of cours, but then you mess up your rom set.

On the other hand some systems or naming conventions use rom sets which have names which are not unique. (I don't find one at the moment, but i saw such discs)

e.g.
"<Game>.cue"
"Track1.bin"
"Track2.bin"

Wow, that was fast!

Thank you @mitu

@pjft

Thank you kindly, sir. The warm welcome means a lot, but there's no need to worry. I'm still somewhat swamped until after the holidays, but I do plan on keeping a tab open here to help out with the most recent round of spammers. Those guys are relentless.

@oldversions it's a request for help so it goes in help and support. I'll move it.

You can install whatever parts of retropie you like https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Manual-Installation/

@fluffypillow Btw, the controller bug of acting crazy returning to pegasus after exiting a game still exists. The only way to get rid of it is to press Start, go inside the side menu, jiggle the dpad (or analog stick on my ps3 pad), and exit the menu.

Installed the image last night, started loading my ROMS manually also.
I like the concept of the naming conventions and they way the lists are pre-generated so dropping a ROM in with the correct name, they just appear.

I changed to Robospin_v4 on the main screen as I didn't like the up/down movement go left/right.

You can also swap the ok and back buttons of emulationststion in the retropie setup menu
